Ryan Mathews RB PHI NYG START
Mathews finally got back to a full time role last week and delivered. However, there's reason for pause in week 16. Giants are ranked 8th against the run. Philadelphia did score 27 points from their RBs in the previous meeting this year. They did this with four RBs sharing the load and Sproles leading with the way with 10.10 fantasy points. I think the game plan will be similar, but with Smallwood out and Sproles coming off injury, let's assume Mathews gets the lead role once again.

Sterling Shepard WR NYG PHI START
Philadelphia has been susceptible to the wide receivers this year. They rank 24th vs the WR this year. Shepard has scored TDs in 5 of his last 7 games including the previous matchup with the Giants.

Zach Ertz TE NYG PHI START
Ertz is hot and the Giants are susceptible to the TE. This makes for an easy matchcup to roll with Zach Ertz.
