Surprise outcoming in this one. Everyone expects Tom Terrific to post a strong game, but Chad Henne? I bet almost no one started Henne. What can you say about Wes Welker? But who in the heck is this Davone Bess guy 10-117-1 TD.
Tampa Bay v Carolina
With DeAngelo Williams sat it out and gave Jonathon Stewart the chance to post 26-120-1 TD. Jake Delhomme was on the bench and Matt Moore just didn't do anything to lose the game. Josh Freeman on the other hand had 321 passing yard, but 5 killer INTs. We are seeing the re-emergence of Antonio Bryant with 5-116-0 TDs.
St. Louis v Chicago
Pathetic QB play from a fantasy perspective, no real relevence, unless you had the misfortune to start Culter (no one was starting Boller right?). Steven Jackson continues to foll along, but Matt Forte also showed up, with 91 yards and a TD.
Philadephia v Atlanta
I was looking at the Eagle stats and was trying to figure out how they ran away with this game when no one posts huge fantasy stats. Then I realized they had a defensive TD and Michael Vick accounted for two scores, one passing and one rushing. Roddy White finally had a relevent game after several disappearing acts. The Atlanta rushing game was non-existent.
Detriot v Cincinnati
Cedric Benson picked right up where he left off with 137 rushing yards. 85 was also solid with the same in the air plus a score. And on the other side, Matthew Stafford tossed most of his 143 yards to Megatron (hate that nickname for Calvin Johnson) who posts 6-123-1 TD. I also have to admit that Kevin Smith is turning into a reliable fantasy back with 100+ combined and a score.
Houston v Jacksonville
Pedastrian day for MJD posting 80+ combined, but that's about it. The injury to Matt Schaub definately affected his numbers, although he did find Andre Johnson for 7-99-1 TD. Really a boring fantasy game all in all.
Denver v Kansas City
The Denver running game was dominant, with Buckhalter running for 113, Moreno chipping in 86-2TDs. Brandon Marshall continues to impress in the second half with 7-94-1 TD. While, on the other side, Chris Chambers' run has ended with a light 2-11.
Tennessee v Indianapolis
Joseph Addai has become a TD scorer for the Colts, posting 79 yards and 2 TDs on the ground. Kenny Britt continues to impress, he only had 3 receptions for 46 yards, but included a score. The other rooke WR that bears watching and consideration is Pierre Garcon, with his 136 yards. Peyton Manning put up a solid 270 and a single TD, but nothing extraordinary. But Vince Young is really putting together his game, with 241, 2 TDs against one INT.
Oakland v Pittsburgh
Ok, what the heck is going on? Pittsburgh loses to Kansas City last week, only to come home and lose to Oakland... at HOME? Bruce Gradkowski outperformed Big Ben, 308 and 3 TDs compared to 278, 2 TDs and an INT. Rashard Mendenhall was nice with 100+ and a score. And the guy who no one started award goes to Louis Murphy with 4-128-2 TDs. Santonio Holmes started his season late apparently, but is finally rolling, getting 8-149-1 TD.
New Orleans v Washington
The pundits were predicting a New Orleans let down and were right... almost. Drew Brees and Robert Meachem pulled their bacon out of the fire. Brees tossed in 400+ yards and a pair of TDs against 1 INT. While Meachem put up 8-142-1 TD. I have to respect the 367 and 3 TDs for Jason Campbell. And where did Devin Thomas come from, posted 7-100-2 TDs
San Diego v Cleveland
Phillip Rivers and Brady Quinn were both solid in this game. Rivers with 373-2 TDs and Quinn 271-3 TDs. Antonio Gates chipped in with a monster TE game, 8-167. Honorable mention goes to LaDainian Tomlinson for his 85 yard combined and a score.
Dallas v New York Giants
Brandon Jacobs continues to disappoint, with 13 carries for 39 yards, but he did put up a TD. And, surprisingly, he caught a pass out of the backfield and took it 74 yards for a score, a 10+ point fantasy play. For Dallas the entire passing game was great, Romo (392-3 TDs), welcome Jason Witten (14-156), Miles Austin (10-104-1 TD), and Roy Williams (6-60-2 TDs). For New York, Steve Smith had 6-110. Where has Marion Barber disappeared to?
San Francisco v Seattle
The Smith to Davis connection keeps on clicking, Alex with 310-2 TDs and Vernon with 6-111-1 TD. Frank Gore was no where to be found (well he did have 60 combined and 5 receptions). Not much else to report here.
Completely looking forward to the Green Bay tomorrow. Go Packers!
