Eagles say Ryan Mathews (knee) will play versus Washington
Philadelphia Eagles running back Ryan Mathews (knee) is "ready to go" for Sunday's matchup against the Washington Redskins, says head coach Doug Peterson.
"He's good to play," Pederson said. "Cleared and ready to go." Mathews practiced for the first time in two weeks Wednesday and is set to resume lead back duties in a struggling Eagles' backfield . In the two games without him, Philadelphia mustered only 134 yards combined on the ground.
Our models project Mathews as the 39th-best running back for fantasy this week, with a projection of 38 yards from scrimmage and 0.26 touchdowns on 8 total touches. The matchup is promising, as Washington's defense ranks 27th in schedule-adjusted Rushing Net Expected Points allowed per play.
