Philadelphia at Washington

Was yesterday enough NFL football for you? We certainly hope not, because tonight’s broadcast of Monday Night Football is an action-packed doubleheader with some of the most exciting teams in the league. Not only do we get to see the return of RGIII to the field, but he squares off against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles come into the season with Chip Kelly behind the wheel and a resurgence that has their fans thinking playoffs. The real question will be if Michael Vick can play like the old Vick and control that high-powered offense, though.

Houston at San Diego

For the second game of the doubleheader, we head out west where the Houston Texans will take on the San Diego Chargers. The Texans are once again poised to have a big season behind Andre Johnson & Arian Foster, but people still question if they have what it takes to reach the Super Bowl. They will be going against a Chargers team with a lot of question marks, but could be a sleeper in the AFC. Many think that Phillip Rivers is ready to get back to his superior level of play and lead his team on a playoff run.
The key thing for fantasy owners to watch tonight is whether or not Ryan Matthews steps up like people have been saying for years or not. So between that fierce NFC East battle between the Washington Redskins and the Philadelphia Eagles and the AFC showdown in San Diego, tonight is set to be full of intense NFL action.
