Mark Sanchez, QB, Philadelphia Eagles

Wait. What? Mark Sanchez? Well, I understand that reaction.

Against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football -- a primetime spot for Sanchez to Sanchez -- he threw for 252 yards, no touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. That racked up a dreadful 6.1 fantasy points.

But this one is all about the matchup in Week 16, and Sanchez gets one of the best in all of football. Washington has allowed 277.7 yards and 3.3 touchdowns to quarterbacks in their past three games: 23.7 fantasy points per contest.

They have allowed a passing touchdown in every game this year, and since Week 3, they have held quarterbacks to fewer than 250 yards just three times in 12 games. Sure, Sanchez was just terrible, but Philadelphia ran in three short touchdowns, and it's not like the Eagles aren't scoring points.

Robert Griffin III, if he starts, has a matchup just as enticing -- if you would rather go that route. (I can't blame you.)
