Casey Matthews has evolved in the Eagles' defenseEver since Eagles' middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans went down with an Achilles tendon injury in Week 9 , Casey Matthews has played well in a limited role during Ryans' absence. Matthews has recorded eight tackles, a safety, and a forced fumble in the last two games.
Fantasy Impact
Just like the rest of the Eagles' defense, look for a strong showing from Matthews against the team's Week 12 opposition, the Tennessee Titans. The Titans rank 25th in passing and 26th in rushing, as their offense has struggled this year. This has the potential to be a big game for the Eagles' defense and Matthews has shown strong production even with a limited role in the most productive games for the Eagles' defense (Weeks 4, 5, 6, and 10); putting up 21 tackles, a forced fumble, and two safeties.
