Just a few quick reactions to Sunday's action. Plus, a look back at my hand picked team from yesterday.

1) How long can the old man keep playing at this level? Farve's critical long pass to Sidney Rice near the end of the game was critical. Forever 4.

2) Sidney Rice has a breakout game, and his chemistry with Favre continues to grow. How long before he is the Viking's #1? Have to mention the strong performance of Adrian Peterson, sans TDs

3) Ray Rice put together almost 200 total yards and 2 TDs, in a losing effort

4) Drew Brees is back. He dismantled the Giants D with 4 TDs and 350+ Too many solid performances among his teammates to even mention

5) What happened to Eli Manning and the Giant offense? The only stand out was Hakeem Nicks, but it was fairly pedastrian across the board.

6) The MJD show continues to roll. 170+ combined and 3 TDs. Meanwhile, Steven Jackson continues to work on a really bad team.

7) I would have never thought the Texans would slow down the roll for Cedric Benson, especially when the Ravens could not last week. But they basically shut him down

8) Steve Slaton continues to struggle running the ball, but he posted a nice game via the air, 100+ and a long TD. Have to mention another nice game for Andre Johnson, even without a TD.

9) Detroit was altogether pathetic against the Packers. A shut out sucks no matter what.

10) Greg Jennings continues to be under untilized, but posted a quiet 6 for 64. Donald Driver continues to get the numbers with 100+ again

11) 350+ and a couple TDs is always nice for a QB, including Aaron Rodgers

12) Rothlisberger continues to have a very bright season, over 400 yards and 2 TDs. He is a definate top 5 QB this year.

13) A nice game for Mendenhall, although I would have expected over 100 yards against the poor Cleveland defense... guess 62 yards and a score is ok.

14) Cleveland continues to struggle on offense, with the only bright spot is the maturation of Muhammed Massaquoi

15) If Cadillac Williams posts 1000+ and 8 TDs this year, I will have to simply tip my hat. After two horrific knee injuries, for him to show the speed and cutting he did in today's game is remarkable. Posted a solid 77 and a score today.

16) Finally, DeAngelo Williams shows some signs of life. His 2 TDs and 150+ are by far his best effort this year. But the the HELL is up with Jake Delhomme? I didn't see the game, but guess he didn't have to throw the ball at all.

17) I wish I had something to say about the Skins v Chefs... but I don't.

18) What? How did Philly lose to Oakland? I guess Zach Miller beat 'em all by himself. Monster game for a TE 139 and a TD (an 86 yarder not to mention)

19) Sad to say, but Thomas Jones rushed for over 200 yards and still his team lost. Lucy, you got some 'splanin' to do!

20) Brady, Moss, Welker, and... Lawrence Maroney. Who? Yes, Maroney made an appearance on the fantasy landscape, but I bet there were few that even have him on their roster much less started him.

Dream Team review
Tom Brady - I would take his 6 TDs on my team
Maurice Jones-Drew - 100+ and 3 TDs, nice
Rashard Mendenhall - Larry Fitzgerald
Randy Moss - 100+ and 3 TDs, that is sweet (Welker did well too)
Brandon Marshall - Won't know until tomorrow.
Jerermy Shockey - nothing special for Shockey, although he had a TD reception
