Michael Floyd catches one pass in loss to the Eagles.

It went for nine yards, but he also made a good play to disrupt a potential interception in Philadelphia territory. Floyd won’t be a fantasy option down the stretch as Mark Sanchez steps in as the starter.

Nelson Agholor catches four passes in Eagles’ win.

Agholor gained 56 yards on his four receptions against the Redskins in tonight’s win. His highlight as a receiver was a 39-yard reception on a deep crossing route when Carson Wentz hit him on the run while scrambling to the right. But he also had his share of highlights as a blocker, as he’s truly an elite player in that area; he also ran a natural pick to help get Jordan Matthews free for a four-yard touchdown and probably could’ve been targeted himself on the play on a corner route in the end zone. It really could have been a big night receiving for Agholor if not for a missed throw on a deep ball down the right sideline where he had a step, along with a miss on a pass in the flat late in the game that he might have taken up the sideline for six given his acceleration and speed. Agholor next faces a Cowboys team he had 83 yards against in their first matchup of the season, but there are probably safer fantasy options in the first week of fantasy playoffs. He’s a fantastic player in real-life, though.

Vernon Davis caught two passes for 15 yards in loss to the Eagles.

Davis brought in both of his targets, but the Washington passing attack struggled after Mark Sanchez entered the game for Colt McCoy (leg). The veteran is always a big-play threat in Jay Gruden’s offense, but he is better left on the waiver wire for the fantasy playoffs.

Jordan Reed caught four passes for 21 yards in Monday night’s loss to the Eagles.

Reed was targeted five times, but it was a low-upside role as Colt McCoy (leg) left the game in the first half. Washington will need more out of their star tight end down the stretch to make the postseason under Mark Sanchez, but he needs to be downgraded in all formats heading into the fantasy playoffs. Reed takes on the Giants next Sunday.

Zach Ertz catches nine pass against the Redskins.

Ertz gained 83 yards on his nine receptions in the Eagles’ Monday night victory. As usual, Ertz showed excellent hands and caught everything he had a chance at coming down with, and he broke the Eagles single-season franchise record for receptions in a season, a mark that previously belonged to Brian Westbrook. He’s now 17 receptions away from Jason Witten’s single-season record for receptions by a tight end (110) with four games to go. Ertz will be an elite TE1 to start the fantasy playoffs next week against the Cowboys.

Josh Doctson caught three passes for 51 yards in Monday night’s loss to Philadelphia.

Doctson led the Redskins in receiving while tying for a team-high in targets (five), but the passing attack never really got going with Mark Sanchez replacing Colt McCoy (leg) in the first half. Washington’s former first-round pick is unlikely to put up significant numbers the rest of the way, so he can be left out of lineups in the fantasy playoffs.

Golden Tate scores first touchdown as an Eagle on Monday night.

Tate caught all seven targets in the Eagles’ Week 13 win, gaining 85 yards with a touchdown along with a two-point conversion reception against the Redskins. The touchdown was on a play where Carson Wentz scrambled up and to the right, finding Tate at the right side of the end zone. Tate showed his superb ability to get past defenders and break tackles, and he’ll look to do more damage next week against the Cowboys. In an interesting situation because of his trade from Detroit, Tate will be facing Dallas for the third time this season. He had a career-game against them while he was with the Lions earlier this season, but he didn’t play much against the Cowboys in the first matchup with the Eagles while still getting acclimated to his new offense.
