After weeks of frustration, the Philadelphia Eagles top fantasy options going into the season -- Jordan Matthews and Ryan Mathews ?? finally managed to put together a game in which both produced for their owners, something we havent been treated to since Week 1.Just two weeks after it was suggested he had taken a backseat to Darren Sproles, the running back Mathews ran 19 times for 109 yards and two touchdowns, while also punching in a two-point conversion. And while it wasnt a massive performance, the wide receiver Matthews hauled in six receptions on 10 targets for 73 yards -- good for 13 points in point-per-reception leagues.While this was the running backs first 100-yard rushing game of the season, the two touchdowns pushed him to eight on the season -- a career high. And the wideout now has 35 targets over his last three games, with 23 receptions for 226 yards in that span.LETS SQUEEZE IN ONE MORE MATTHEWSJust to cover all the Mat(t)hews bases, Titans wideout Rishard Matthews has been a fantasy force lately, with six touchdowns in his last six games. He has 15 targets for nine receptions and 126 yards in his last two, with three touchdowns.Rishard Matthews was a popular sleeper pick in the preseason, but disappointed early before his recent run of success. Hes owned in just 47 percent of CBSSports.com leagues.JEREMY LANGFORD MAY BE FANTASY RELEVANT AGAINJordan Howards ankle/Achilles injury may open the door for Jeremy Langford to once again be the main back in Chicago. Langford missed four weeks of the season with an ankle injury, but did score touchdowns in each of his first two games before being supplanted by Howard.Langford isnt a sure thing to win back the starting job, however, as KaDeem Carey has been quietly effective in sparse playing time. Carey has 109 yards to Langfords 132 and 43 receiving yards to Langfords 48. Plus, Bears coach John Fox is famous for giving fantasy players fits, as he historically likes to use two running backs in his offense.SAMMIE COATES HAS DISAPPEAREDBefore an untimely finger injury, Steelers wide receiver Sammie Coates was on pace for a breakout campaign, with 50 or more yards in each of his first five games. In his last four, however, Coates has managed just one catch for 4 yards.Sundays loss to the Cowboys may have been the low point for Coates, as he was targeted just once in a game where Ben Roethlisberger threw 46 times for 408 yards and two wide receivers -- Darrius Heyward-Bey and Markus Wheaton -- were out with injuries.The return of tight end Ladarius Green isnt going to help Coates, nor has the fact that LeVeon Bell is averaging nine targets per game and has nearly as many receiving yards (360) as rushing (433). And fellow wideout Eli Rogers has 15 targets over his last two games, with 145 yards and a touchdown. This leaves Coates on the outside looking in.Its not outside the realm of possibility for Coates to connect on a couple long passes and finish next week with 100-plus yards, but theres no logic that would lead a fantasy owner to start him before a game like that; only head-scratching, what-do-I-do-now frustration afterward.Coates is owned in 61 percent of CBSSports.com leagues, while Rogers is owned in just 23 percent. Those ownership numbers should probably be flipped.MISCELLANEOUS- Jamison Crowder has 28 targets over his last three games and three touchdowns in his last four. While his next few weeks are a mixed bag of favorable and tough opponents (Packers, Cowboys, Cardinals, Eagles), Crowder has a tremendous playoff schedule, with games against the Panthers and the Bears in Weeks 15 and 16.- DeVante Parkers eight targets were his most since Week 2, and he finished Sunday with a surprising 103-yard game. After a fairly tough matchup against the Rams in Week 11, Parker gets the 49ers and Ravens, who have given up a combined 30 touchdowns to wide receivers this season. Parker is owned in 63 percent of CBSSports.com leagues.- Stefon Diggs looks to be a focal point for Pat Shurmurs Sam Bradford-centered offense. In the two games with Shurmur as offensive coordinator, Diggs has seen 29 targets. More importantly, he has converted 26 of those into receptions, producing 244 yards.- Tennessee has been on fire lately, but beware the Titans Week 13 bye -- which is paired with a bye for the Browns, as well. A fantasy team fighting for a playoff spot will have to go into the final week of the regular season without Marcus Mariota, DeMarco Murray, Delanie Walker, Terrelle Pryor, Gary Barnidge, Isaiah Crowell, and Duke Johnson.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com Jeff Kemp Jersey .

CHICAGO -- We arrived at the corner of Sheffield and Waveland around 9 a.m., and a rough count put only 125 people ahead in line. We didnt have tickets to the game, at least most of us didnt, so we wanted to stand with a crowd of fellow fans in Murphys Bleachers, the famous baseball bars patio in the glow of the Wrigley red neon sign. We came because we felt compelled to be close to it, to know this electricity and claim a piece of it for ourselves. We wanted to know what it felt like in Chicago, when the World Series finally returned to town. The memories would be something to hold onto, long after the souvenirs were gone. It would be a shared experience to find the silly and overwrought things we felt for a baseball team.We wanted proof we werent insane.Then we paid a $100 cover to go into a bar without tables or chairs, and we stood and drank beer for the next nine hours.We ordered shots and burgers and beers. In the hour before the first pitch, we cheered when Eddie Vedder came in the back door of the bar, through the alley by the train tracks. We cursed the fire marshal, who decided to police these bars on their biggest weekend in history. We saw Vedder lean over the railing from the roof and throw a towel down into the crowd. We serenaded him.Someday well go all the way, we sang.We showed off the photo of our mother on our phone, of her holding the newspaper that came out the morning after the Cubs won the pennant. She has Alzheimers and thought we were messing with her at first. We are named Todd and we are drunk. We laughed at how much wed paid for a ticket to tomorrow nights game, and then we said, with complete earnestness, Today Todd doesnt have to worry about. Thats Tomorrow Todd.The national anthem began and we sang, all of us -- an entire bar, with men taking off ball caps and putting them over their hearts. The cops outside stood at attention, too, and we screamed out the last lines. Then we started chanting, F--- Joe Buck ... F--- Joe Buck, because, well, we were drunk and nervous.A breeze blew through the back bar. We dressed up as Harry Caray. When the Cubs scored first, we rang the ships bell, hanging in a corner by an enormous 10-point elk. We ordered shots of Jameson to celebrate. We dont drink Protestant hooch in Murphys Bleachers. We hung signs in our apartment windows across from the bar, signs that read, Its gonna happen. We really believed that -- especially early, in those brief moments when the Cubs led.We got aggressively drunk when the Indians tied, and then the spiral began when the Indians took the leead.dddddddddddd The bar became quiet, except for a group who chanted down near the Waveland Avenue patio. There was a television camera set up nearby, which probably explains the chanting. We act like a fool when were putting on a show for TV, but the purest expression of sports fandom is the quiet internal burn, with only brief glimpses breaking the surface: a cigarette smoked clean down to the filter, or a head hung, resting in two hands, slumped over a bar. Today Todd clinched and unclenched his jaw. Tomorrow Todd wont remember doing that at all.We turned to a man next to us and said, Were in this together. Lets just hold it together.The same people who ordered shots to celebrate the 1-0 lead now ordered shots to make the 4-1 deficit feel a bit better. We started looking for company for the night and found a guy from Tampa, Florida. We touched his side, and told our girlfriend about his muscular back, and when we did a shot together, we kissed his cheek. His friends tied a balloon to him in case he got lost. We called him our future husband.If you dont believe in love at Murphys Bleachers, we said, you dont believe in love.We texted a friend: F--- Kluber.The mood in the bar turned, a little menacing in a pocket or two but mostly just empty and hollow, like no one could remember what we felt in the 9 a.m. sunshine, when so many great things seemed not only possible but likely, and to some, even ordained. That feeling died quick and hard. We turned away from the television and said, Im not looking anymore.We signed our bar tabs when the Indians went up 7-1, then walked out into a chilly night, the blue Christmas lights on the Murphys trees now seeming a little sad. Three people left the bar during the seventh-inning stretch and sang along with the crowd.Its a shame, they sang in a loud voice at the end.The bars emptied during the last two innings. People walked quietly down Waveland.The whole point of coming to Wrigleyville was to find out how it feels, and we found a feeling all right, just not the one we wanted. That feeling remains unknown and elusive, still out of reach, after 108 years, after four games. We wore technicolor fedoras and $50 fitted New Era hats. The crowd waiting on the Red Line stretched out into Addison. A woman sat texting on a stoop in a Cubs jersey and Chuck Taylors. One stoop down, two guys were eating apples, watching the silent march of people heading away from Wrigley Field. ' ' '
