Both Matt Ryan and Michael Turner went down with injuries, not sure how serious either are, but they will need to be watched. Kudos to Chris Redman for replacing Ryan and posted a solid 243 and 2 TDs. Antonio Bryant posted his best game of the year and with Josh Freeman learning on the job, if you need WR help, Bryant might be a solid pick up.
Miami v Buffalo
Another fine effort for Ricky Williams with 115 and a score. Terrell Owens is back is seems and could help a fantasy owner to a championship if his chemistry with Ryan Fitzpatrick continues. Is there any doubt Fred Jackson is the better back in Buffalo (72 yards on 15 carries and 2 TDs)? Where did Lee Evans go this year?
Washington v Philladelphia
I like LeSean McCoy's game and production (101 combined and a TD). DeSean Jackson went out with a concussion, so keep an eye on that development and an uptick for Maclin and Avant. Brent Celek has been pedestrian in the past few weeks.
Seattle v St. Louis
Steven Jackson continues to roll with 100+ combined and a score. Kyle Boller was solid with almost 300 yards and a score, the only black mark being 2 INTs. Matt Hasselbeck has been stinking it up from a fantasy perspective. Could it be he likes Justin Forsett behind him? And what's not to like about 130 yards and 2 TDs on the ground? TJ Housh and John Carlson posted identical, sorry 2 receptions, 14 yard days.
Carolina v New York Jets
You expect Mark Sanchez to post a poor fantasy day lately, but Delhomme was back to his "Culter" ways, throwing 4 INTs. All in all the games was nothing from a fantasy perspective, although Thomas Jones did post 75 yards and a TD, which is ok.
Cleveland v Cincinnati
I would have expected the Bengals to score better than the 17 points the put up, which affected the fantasy scoring from the game. The Browns were customarily pathetic. And other than a decent 87 yards for Bernard Scott, Larry Johnson has the best day, with 107 yards on the ground. LJ could be a hot pick up this week.
Indianapolis v Houston
Both Manning and Schaub put up good games, but not outstanding, marred by a combined 4 INTs. And Kevin Walter is starting to show what we were expecting a few weeks ago when Owen Daniel went down. Dallas Clark keeping rolling with a solid game (9-63-1 TD), and Pierre Garcon was solid with matching 5-63-1 TD.
Kansas City v San Diego
Phillip Rivers is nearing the elite fantasy QB heights (317-2 TDs). Jamaal Charles has shown to be a good replacement for LJ with 140 combined and a TD. And Chris Chambers continues his solid play after being cast off by the Charges with 7-70-1 TD. Antonio Gates was strong with 7-118-2 TDs, while LaDainian Tomlinson remains a solid play only because of his recent TD surge, posting 2 more today on limted yards and carries.
Jacksonville v San Francisco
Alex Smith continues his steady play and is a decent back up option going into the stretch run. Frank Gore has been puzzling and inconsistent and would have been a poor play today except for a receiving TD. Vernon Davis continues his excellent play with 6-69-1 TD. MJD posted 110 combined, but sans a TD.
Chicago v Minnesota
What is going on with Brett Favre? A ridiculous 392 and 2 TDs. AP was solid with 100+ combined and a score. Percy Harvin was sweet with 45 rushing yards and his 6-101-1 TD, while Sidney Rice continues his march up the receiver charts with 6-89. And Vianthe Shiancoe remains a solid TE play. Now for the Bears. Culter's erratic play is costing those counting on him and honestly, there are better options out there, even for a back up. And I am now proclaiming Matt Forte a bust, with another sub par performance.
Arizona v Tennessee
Dare I say it, but not only is Vince Young playing better, but he is achieving fantasy relevance with 387 and a score. yes, that's right... 387. Chris Johnson is absolutely ridiculous, posting 154 and a score on the ground plus 3-32 receiving. I am also putting Kenny Britt on my pick up list with his 7-128-1 TD performance. The late scratch of Kurt Warner hurt the entire Cards offense. Matt Leinart seems like a bust, doesn't he?
Pittsburgh v Baltimore
Dennis Dixon had an ok game in replacing Big Ben, but it hurt the numbers. Only Santonio Holmes posted anything worth mentioning (6-74-1 TD). Mendenhall posted 100+ combined. Ray Rice broke 150 combined without a score. and Mark Clayton (yeah, Mark Clayton) had 7-129, plus Derek Mason posted 7-62-1 TD. Hope Big Ben is back next week.
Have to mention, I am REALLY looking forward to the Patriots v Saints game tomorrow evening.
