Chicago v SF
Matt Forte had a strong game, even though he could never get going on the ground, his 100+ yards in the air, helped him put up strong numbers. On the other side, Frank Gore also posted strong points. Other than Culter's 300+ yards and his FIVE INTs, and the fact that Davis spouted off and got shut down for it, not much else to report on this game.
Atlanta v Carolina
I was surprized by this outcome. First, HUGE injury to Michael Turner. For his owner's sakes, I hope it is not severe, but ankles are tough for a runningback to come back from quickly. Nothing else outstanding in this game, solid from Roddy White and a slight surprise from Muhammad. 2 TDs for Steve Smith scored well for his owners. Matt Ryan owners are going to start worrying (including me in one league), if his numbers don't improve soon.
Miami v Tampa
The Bucs have been surprisely game the past two weeks and almost pulled out another win. Ricky Williams (100+ rushing) and Ronnie Brown (82 rushing + TD) continue to put up solid numbers together. It also looks like their is some chemistry between the rookie, Josh Freeman, and the Soldier - Kellen Winslow (100+).
Minnesota v Detroit
Farve just keeping rolling. 300+ again with a TD and NO ints. Ap was strong with 133 and 2 scores. The Lions continue to struggle and I doubt anyone on the team will be worth much beyond Calvin Johnson, if he is healthy.
Jacksonville v New York Jets
MJD is one of the three best RBs in fantasyland... and to think, I passed him up at #3 for Matt Forte. UGH! David Garrard is always good for his pedastrian 200 yards and a score or to. Nice, but nothing ever spectacular really. The Jets didn't do anything to write home to mom about. Sanchez is not all that after all!
Cincinnati v Pittsburgh
Did anyone have these kickers? 18 to 12? 4 FGs apiece. The big note again is the injury to Cedric Benson. He left with a hip or leg injury and was inaffective afterwards. Neither Palmer or Rothlisberger or anyone else for that matter did much. This was a defensive struggle through and through.
New Orleans v St. Louis
Wow, who would have thought this would be a tough game. Stephen Jackson is a stud, putting up 175 combined in a TD. Marc Bulger played a solid game and might be moving into fair fantasy back up status (298 and 2TDs and a single INT). Reggie Bush has a nice day with 83 yards and a TD, but on only 6 carries. Donnie Avery did post 60+ and 2 TDs, which is nice, although no one started him anywhere!
Tennessee v Buffalo
Buffalo made a game of it at first. But can I say... CHRIS FREAKIN' JOHNSON! 232 combined and 2 TDs. Outstanding! AGAIN! Lee Evans had 2 TDs and was there a TO sighting? Can it be?
Denver v Washington
The Denver D is falling apart is seems. Especially if the 'Skins can torch 'em. again, another injury of note, Kyle Orton goes down to an ankle. Some might have been starting him but if you have him as a back up, start looking. LaDell Betts was solid in replacing Portis with 100+ and a TD, despite a sore ankle. And Brandon Marshall was huge with 130+ and 2TDs in the first half before Orton went down. Where has Santana Moss gone?
Kansas City v Oakland
Did any actually watch this game? JaMarcus Russell really stinks, both football and fantasy wise. 9/24, 64 yards? what is that? Michael Bush tried to make up for it with 120 on the ground. Jamal Charles just about matched him and threw in a TD. Not much else to talk about.
Seattle v Arizona
Kurt Warner was strong again with his 300+ and 2 TDs. The triplets all put up good numbers (Boldin/Fitzgerald/Breaston). TJ Housh matched them with 165. But the story for me was the emergence of Forsett and Wells. 123 w/ 1 TD and 85 w/ 2 TDs respectively. Pick up Forsett on the waiver wire and snap up Wells if you can, due to the cupcake fantasy playoff schedule for the Cards.
Dallas v Green Bay
Again, a surprising game. One that Green Bay won. Two in the low score. Ryan Grant was solid if not spectacular, but Roy Williams stepped it up, even if his TD was in garbage time late. Greg Jennings continues to underwhelm and neither Rodgers or Romo posted their normally stellar numbers.
Philly v Dan Diego
A furious come back by the Eagles fell just short. McNabb posted 450 and 2 TDS, outstanding, with a surprising Jason Avant as the primary beneficiary (150+). Lots of secondary solid games for the other WRs. Tomlinson is not quite done, posting almost 100 yards and 2 TDs on the ground. Vincent Jackson was hugely disappointing with a single catch for 10 yards
