Mark Sanchez, Jeremy Maclin, Jordan Matthews' Post-Week 13 Fantasy Reaction

Even in the three-plus games since Mark Sanchez took over the reins of the Philadelphia Eagles' offense, Jeremy Maclin has remained the team's most targeted receiver. 

Sanchez and Maclin hooked up often in Thursday's 33-10 Thanksgiving win over the Dallas Cowboys, helping Philadelphia's victorious cause in a big way on the road.

Rookie Jordan Matthews has also been a favorite target of Sanchez's, and the two connected for a 27-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

Name	PASS	YDS	TD/INT	Fantasy Points
Name	REC	YDS	TD	Fantasy Points
Mark Sanchez	20/29	217 (plus 28 rush yards)	2/0 (1 rush TD)	20
Jeremy Maclin	8	108	0	10
Jordan Matthews	4	51	1	11

ESPN Stats & Info highlighted how Sanchez and Matthews have been in sync:

Interceptions and inconsistent accuracy are concerns that make Sanchez only a borderline QB1 in fantasy, as he also plays in an offense that revolves around the ground game. Paul Domowitch of Philly.com pointed out before the game how Sanchez has been susceptible to giveaways:

If the matchup is favorable, though, Sanchez is in a QB-friendly system that promotes big numbers—provided he can protect the football as he did in Week 13. The Cowboys were 27th in the league in sacks before Week 13 and floundered in the first half of Thursday's game, as Sanchez carved their secondary up for 202 yards and a score.

Not known for his running ability, Sanchez kicked off the scoring with a two-yard TD scamper and wound up with 28 yards rushing on seven attempts. Then Philly got back to the ground game in the second half, which limited Sanchez's opportunities to accrue more fantasy points.

Maclin is the clear go-to guy in the Eagles' thin receiving corps. Amid a contract year, he has emerged as one of the most reliable fantasy wideouts no matter the circumstances or opponent.

Thursday's performance—what with game-best totals of eight catches and 108 yards—cemented Maclin's status as a star, but Matthews is a legitimate, strong fantasy flex play with Sanchez under center.
