It was a relative statistical explosion across the board when Tampa Bay headed into Philly and demolished the Eagles 45-17.

Winston threw for only 246 yards and added five touchdowns in the process. Doug Martin ran for nearly as many rushing yards and even though he didn’t get into the endzone he was a fantasy stud himself.

As for the defense, 17 points allowed was just the tip of their fantasy impact this week. Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez was intercepted three times including one returned for a touchdown by linebacker Lavonte David.

While David gave his owners 20 points towards a victory he was outscored by one when Chris Conte racked up 21 points for his owners.

The top defense of the week secured the Buccaneers’ second straight victory and evened their record at 5-5 with six games remaining.
