Thursday Night Football- Fantasy Predictions Top 3 Over/Under

     This week's Thursday night game is the Eagles vs. the Bengals. It is probably going to be a pretty ugly game to watch, but it does have fantasy implications.  Fantasy owners will hope to get their teams off to a good start this playoff week.  Here are my top 3 over/under predictions in Yahoo standard leagues for tonight's game:

AJ Green is my stud wideout. Hoping he comes up big tonight!

                                                                    Over

WR Andrew Hawkins (projected 6.90 fantasy points)-  Hawkins has seen his targets increase lately because of injuries in the Bengals wide receiver corps..  He scored a touchdown vs. Dallas last week and is always a danger to make a big play.

TE Clay Harbor (projected 7.43 fantasy points)-  Harbor had a big game vs. Tampa Bay last week when starter Brian Celek went out with a concussion.  Celek has been ruled out for tonight's game and Harbor will get the start.  The Bengals defense is pretty tough on wide receivers, Eagles QB Nick Foles will have to look for other targets to get the job done.

WR Marvin Jones (projected 1.22 fantasy points)-  Due to injuries, Jones has become the starting wide receiver opposite AJ Green.  He led all Bengal wide receivers in reception yards last week.  He still lags behind all the other options Andy Dalton has as far as targets, but he should get the ball enough tonight to get him over that stingy projection.

                                                               Under

The Eagles Defense (projected 7.05  fantasy points)-  The Eagles defense has improved of late, but I don't see them having a good game vs. the Bengals passing attack.  They will have their hands full keeping track of wide receiver AJ Green, which will give QB Andy Dalton plenty of other open targets to throw the ball to.

WR Jeremy Maclin (projected 15.20 fantasy points)-  Maclin apparently injured his groin celebrating his game winning touchdown catch on Sunday vs. Tamp Bay.  This could effect his performance tonight (trying really hard not to make any jokes here.).  The Bengals are also pretty good in pass coverage, giving up the 4th fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

RB Bryce Brown (projected 15.08 fantasy points)-  Brown had a real disappointing outing vs. Tampa Bay on Sunday.  He had been a complete monster the prior 2 weeks, it could be teams are better preparing for him now.  Cincinnati does not have a great run defense, but it is hard to say what you will get from Brown.  He also has ball security issues.
