Philadelphia Eagles

Jordan Matthews (Wide Receiver): Matthews has largely been a fantasy nightmare however this week he has a great matchup against the Patriots. The Patriots have given up the 10th most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Matthews is only averaging 5 targets a game but in a pinch he should get you some points.

DeMarco Murray (Running Back): Defense's stack the box when Sanchez is in the game. Bradford could make his return this week but even so this is a pretty bad matchup for Murray. The Patriots have given up the 10th fewest fantasy points to running backs and have a stellar defensive line. Murray only has one 100 yard rushing effort under his belt this season so I would not expect big things from him in week 13.

 

New England Patriots

Tom Brady (Quarterback): Brady should be fired up after his week 12 loss to the Broncos. Without Gronkowski it is hard to say what Brady will do however he will get his points, especially against a team that has given up the 9th most fantasy points to quarterbacks. To sweeten things a bit the Eagles have given up 10 touchdowns in the past two games.

Rob Gronkowski (Tight End): Gronk will likely sit out with a knee sprain, he could miss a couple of weeks depending on his pain tolerance.

Brandon LaFell/Danny Amendola (Wide Receivers): LaFell has been seeing a ton of targets lately. This will likely be his best matchup of the season. If Amendola can play this will likely split their targets in half limiting their potential upside however still one of the best matchups of the week for wide receivers.

LeGarrette Blount (Running Backs): Blount did absolutely nothing last week and the Eagles give up the 15th fewest fantasy points to running backs. With James White taking snaps you could probably do better.
