Superman at it again

For the second time in three weeks, Carolina's Cam Newton was the highest scoring player in all of Fantasy football. In Week 12, the second-closest player was Tom Brady, who scored just more than four fewer points than Newton. The margin between Newton and the second-highest scorer in the week, though, was a little closer and a little weirder. Newton scored 41.08 points, just .08 points more than the next Fantasy scorer. The odd fact is the second-highest scorer of Week 14 was the Seattle Seahawks D/ST. The Seahawks sacked Arizona quarterbacks three times, forced eight turnovers (four interceptions and four fumbles) and scored touchdowns on a pick-six and a fumble recovery in a 58-0 win. Players you might want to pick up:RB David Wilson, Giants ; RB Joique Bell, Lions. Things to watch during tonight's Eagles-Bengals game Andy Dalton, Bengals QB: Since the Eagles' bye week in Week 7, five of the seven quarterbacks the Eagles have faced have scored 30 or more Fantasy points. Only the Saints have allowed more points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Dalton fell flat last week against a good Dallas defense, but has scored 25 or more fantasy points in three of the last four games. Eagles receiving core: Since Nick Foles has taken over under center for the Eagles, the receiving core has kind of struggled. With this being a Thursday game I don't expect things to get better. The Bengals have allowed the sixth-fewest Fantasy points to pass catchers this season. BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Bengals RB: While the Eagles haven't been great defensively, they have locked down the running game pretty well this season. Philadelphia has given up the 10th-least amount of Fantasy points to opposing running backs, but Green-Ellis has been good at getting into the end zone this season.
