Oct 22, 2015 03:16 PM EDT

Philadelphia Eagles

Sam Bradford (Quarterback): Bradford had an abysmal day throwing 3 awful interceptions and only completing 24/38 passes for 280 yards and a touchdown. Bradford will not have an easier time with the Panthers who boast one of the best defenses in the league.

DeMarco Murray/Ryan Matthews/Darren Sproles (Running Backs): Murray had one of his better games this season getting the ball 22 times and rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown. Matthews and Sproles were afterthoughts after Murray's production however in week 7 they face a brutal Panthers defense that should stop them from running the ball effectively. Murray is an RB2 for this matchup.

Jordan Matthews (Wide Receiver): Matthews is having a rough year and things should only get rougher. Matthews caught 6 of 11 targets for 59 yards making him just about invisible on the fantasy spectrum.

Carolina Panthers

Cam Newton (Quarterback): Newton had a pretty productive game in week 6 rushing for 30 yards and a touchdown along with completing 20 of 36 passing attempts for 269 yards and a touchdown. Newton has a great matchup going into week 7 and should be an excellent QB start.

Greg Olsen (Tight End): Olsen carried the receiving corps on his back grabbing 7 out of 11 targets for 131 yards and a touchdown. Olsen should continue to receive the majority of targets in this Carolina offense in week 7.

Jonathan Stewart (Running Back): Stewart had his best game of the season rushing for 78 yards and 2 touchdowns on 28 carries. Stewart will not always be this effective but maybe this performance will help spark something in week 7.
