NFL Week 12 Fantasy Recap: Philadelphia Eagles at Detroit Lions, Jordan Matthews, DeMarco Murray, Calvin Johnson

Philadelphia Eagles

Jordan Matthews (Wide Receiver): Jordan Matthews was lucky enough to receive a garbage time touchdown to keep jack up his fantasy stats. Matthews only caught 3 of 5 passes for 60 yards but that lone garbage time touchdown saved him. It is hard to be optimistic if Sanchez plays another game but the good news is Sam Bradford should be returning soon. 

DeMarco Murray (Running Backs): Murray had a horrific day rushing for only 30 yards on 14 attempts. The Lions defense came out fast and set the tone for the entire game. Murray was also not heavily utilized in the second half because they were so far behind. Murray has been a constant disappointment this year and even when it seems as if he turns a corner his production drops. Fantasy owners have to be worried about his consistency especially in the unpredictable NFC East as the fantasy playoffs approach.

Detroit Lions

Calvin Johnson (Wide Receiver): Calvin Johnson had a monstrous day. He finished the game hauling in 8 out of 14 receptions for 93 yards and 3 touchdowns. Johnson was open all day against an Eagles defense that looked horrendous. Johnson would routinely beat Eric Rowe as the Eagles constantly left him matched up against Johnson without any help.
