Fantasy football projections, Week 13: Eagles-Cowboys featuring LeSean McCoy, Tony Romo and DeMarco Murray
We break down the Week 13 matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys.


Philadelphia Eagles
LeSean McCoy hasn't had the season that most of his fantasy owners probably would've hoped going to Week 13 considering he was the projected No. 1 pick in most fantasy drafts. He can make up for his lack of production this year with a big set of performances down the stretch, and it all starts on Thanksgiving Day against the Cowboys. Believe it or not, his performance last week against the Tennessee Titans marked the first time this year that record eclipsed the 100-yard mark and rushed for a touchdown in the same game. He will need to build on the performance to match his Dallas counterpart DeMarco Murray, who has been the best running back in the NFL this year.
In the passing game, Jeremy Maclin will try keep moving the ball down the field. He was held out of the end zone against the Titans last week but still managed six catches for 59 yards. It was an unfortunate fantasy stat line for Maclin's owners, given that he was playing against one of the worst secondary units in the league. However, Maclin It is still one of the best receivers in the game, and Sanchez's chemistry with rookie Jordan Matthews could possibly begin to subside a little bit once opposing secondaries have figured out the rookie.
Dallas Cowboys
Anybody who was concerned about Tony Romo's back issues can forget about it now. He threw for a season-high four touchdown passes in a win over the New York Giants last week. Add those four scores to 275 passing yards without any turnovers and you have Romo's best game of the season. On Thanksgiving Day, he will be up against a Philadelphia defense that has allowed the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, which means fantasy owners could be smiling as they recover from eating all that turkey and watch Romo put up another big day.
If Romo doesn't see something down the field, he will be able to hand the ball off to running back DeMarco Murray. Murray is having a banner year, and his successes continued to mount in Week 12 against the Giants, a game in which he rushed for 121 yards on 24 carries. He's eclipsed the century marked in all but one game this season and is averaging almost 28 touches per game. Murray is realistically the only rusher in the league who has an outside shot at a 2,000-yard rushing season. Fantasy owners don't need to be told why it's a good idea to start him against the Eagles. He should have his owners feeling grateful in Week 13.
