Carolina vs Philly
START
Cam Newton - I'm not sure the Philly D will make an appearance. RG3's 4 TD performance against this unit was no fluke. Newton may run for over 80 yards on this team
Steve Smith
SIT
Nick Foles - unless that line can channel the powers of Orlando Pace, Foles may be knocked out of the game
LeSean McCoy - He won't play
Jeremy Maclin
DeSean Jackson - only has seven catches for 67 yards in his last two games.
Brent Celek
DeAngelo Williams
Jonathan Stewart
Brandon LaFell
Greg Olsen - The Eagles have allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to tight ends
Bryce Brown - Philly just wants the season to be over
