Buffalo Bills

Sammy Watkins (Wide Receiver): Watkins had another terrific game even though it came in a loss. Watkins did have a couple of key drops that cost the Bills but not fantasy owners as he hauled in 5 of his 12 targets for 81 yards and a touchdown. Watkins has been a reliable deep threat for Tyrod Taylor for the past few weeks, unless he suffers an injury there is no reason that would change.

LeSean McCoy (Running Backs): McCoy's performance in this revenge game was a bit of a letdown. He genuinely played like a player who did not want to beat the Eagles or who felt indifferent towards beating a team he had spent so much of his career with. McCoy had 20 rushing attempts but only gained 74 yards. He also hauled in 4 of 7 targets for 35 yards. At the very least owners expected McCoy to have at least 1 touchdown run unfortunately that did not happen. McCoy was also seen kissing the Eagles logo, and throwing his helmet into the locker room after the loss so maybe he just had way too much on his mind. McCoy will be an RB1 heading into week 15.


Philadelphia Eagles

Jordan Matthews (Wide Receiver): Matthews struggled mightily after being fairly successful in garbage time. Matthews only hauled in 3 of his 5 targets for 19 yards. Matthews cannot be looked at as anything but a boom or bust WR3 at this point.

DeMarco Murray (Running Back): Murray has failed to meet even the lowest expectations when it comes to his production this season. Murray has struggled with a scheme that he does not fit into well and it seems as if the former rushing champ will continue to struggle until the end of the season. Murray only rushed for 34 yards on 11 carries. He also hauled in both of his targets for 3 yards. One has to assume at this point the DeMarco Murray in Philadelphia experiment can finally be classified as a disaster.
