Top Shelf
QBs
David Garrard – He got pushed into starting this week, due to the fact that his back-ups were more dinged up than he was, but it looks like a week off did Garrard well. He accounted for 5 total TDs (4 Passing and one rushing), along with 260 passing yards.
Matthew Stafford – This was a great welcome back party for Stafford; considering this is his first start since Week 1, he came up in a big way throwing for 212 yards and 4 TDs.
Honorable Mention: J. Campbell, P. Manning, P. Rivers, V. Young
RBs
BenJarvus Green-Ellis – So much for a passing offense, well, this really isn’t the evolution of the Pats offense to a grind it out offense, but proves they’re not scared to give him the ball and let him go. The 112/2 performance on Sunday proved that one.
Jamaal Charles – Although Charles didn’t score a TD, his yardage alone put him on the list. He managed to gain 177 on the ground and 61 receiving. Yet with this performance, it just adds more questions as to who’s going to produce more as the Chief’s #1 RB?
Arian Foster – Another game against the Colts, another stellar performance out of Foster, even though this one wasn’t all on the ground. He only mustard up 102/1, in comparison to his first outing of 231/3, but this game he managed to add 65 receiving yards to his total as well.
Honorable Mention: L. Blount, A. Peterson, M. Reece
WRs
Calvin Johnson – Nothing like coming off a Bye Week to have your best game of the year so far. Stafford connected with Johnson for 3 TDs and 101 yards, looks like as long as these two can stay healthy this is going to be a great source of points for most fantasy owners.
Brandon Lloyd – If I remember correctly, it was just last week that Lloyd was in the B.o.B. Ranks, but I told you he wouldn’t be there long. Well it looks like he’s read this blog as well, because not even a week later he went for 169/1. A little more realistic numbers out of him, but he is close to being the value pick up of the year to-date.
Mike Sims-Walker – If you read this blog, you’ll know that I’m not a fan of C. Palmer because he has done nothing but disappoint and let me down in the past, well welcome to the current version of Palmer. MSW has done nothing be disappoint this season, hell I was to the point that I’ve told people to drop him. This past week a friend posed a question of who to start, Lee Evans or MSW, well of course I said Evans, both are boom or bust, but Evans gives you a better shot at some points even in a bust, well I was wrong. MSW went off for a career day (153/1). Still sticking to my guns and saying don’t look for a repeat performance.
Honorable Mention: L. Fitzgerald, D. Heyward-Bey, T. Owens, A.Gates, M. Lewis
Bottom of the Barrel
QBs that scored less Fantasy Points this week than Tarvaris Jackson (10):

- · Mark Sanchez (8)
- · Aaron Rodgers (6)
- · Chad Henne (6)
- · Ben Roethlisberger (5)
- · Matt Moore(5)
- · Matt Hasselback (4)
Carolina RBs – “The tandem of D-Will and J-Stew has looked pitiful for most of this year to say the least, not giving up on, well D-Will yet, but he’s making it hard.” No I didn’t forget to redo this section from last week, just feel there’s nothing worse to pick from here. D-Will didn’t play and J-Stew still sucked, not much more I can say other than that.
Randy Moss – Not only did he get traded this season, now he’s gotten cut and still professing his love for the team that traded him. His value is up in the air right now, but if I had Moss right now, I’d be scared that he’s not going to go on a Moss tangent and not want to play for Team X or he might Retire who knows, he did spend some time around Favre.
Bargain Bin
QBs
**Byes this week: K. Orton/D. Garrard/
D. McNabb/S. Bradford**
Top 3 QBs Owned in 30% or less leagues:
Ryan Fitzpatrick – 97 total points in the 6 games started that comes out to16.2 points per games started, I’ll gladly take that.
Matthew Stafford – There were big hopes at the beginning of the season for Stafford and the Lions, well that all came crashing down with a shoulder injury in Week 1, but now he’s back a firing the ball down the field.
Josh Freeman – Currently ranked 7th in position ranking my ESPN and averaging 14.4 points per game. Same point totals as a guy named Carson Palmer, bet you’d have never guessed that one.
RBs
**Byes this week: C. Johnson/F. Gore/S. Jackson/
M. Jones-Drew/ R. Torain**
I’m going to take a movie theme with this section on RBs, mainly because that has been how its felt trying to pick up some RBs this year when you need one.
The Good:
· BenJarvus Green-Ellis – This one should be obvious, but if you don’t own B. Green-Ellis (and there are 10% of leagues out there where he’s not) needs to be owned. He has scored now in 5 consecutive weeks and only has competition from Danny Woodhead, who isn’t a bad pick up himself. But the competition he brings isn’t enough to warrant not wanting Green-Ellis in your line ups.
The Bad:
· LeGarrette Blount – An obvious candidate for this section for many reason, but he’s in here because they might want to make him the starter, but Cadillac is still there as well. Not saying you don’t need to pick him up, but the 20+ point days are going to be far and few between.
The Ugly:
· Keiland Williams – If you’re a Torain owner you should know this name, not only as a handcuff but as the guy who’s catching his passes on 3rd down. This is an ugly situation because the MRI came back negative on Torain, but we know how Mike Shanahan likes to play with the injury report. We won’t know the extent of this injury, or even if there is one, till well after this bye week. If you have an extra spot or are in a deep league he’s worth a waiver.
· Marcel Reece – Ugly because who the… is this guy. He’s the 3rd RB for the Raiders. Yes, I know this sounds crazy to me too, but this is more just someone to keep on your radar in deeper (extremely deep) leagues. They like using him, the last two weeks they had the chance and he’s gotten some looks, and it’s paid off for him in averaging 14 points over the past two weeks.
WRs
**Byes this week: B. Lloyd/K. Britt/S. Moss**
Steve Johnson – He has now scored at least one TD in five straight games and is only owned in 50% of leagues.
Darrius Heyward-Bey – Only owned in 1% of leagues, not too surprising, but with the reemergence of the ground game and the Raiders starting to look like the Rrraaiiddeerrsss, he might become a decent option in the second half of the season.
Mario Manningham – With coming off a Bye Week and only being owned in 45% of leagues Manningham might have been over looked in your league, if the G-Men can continue their hot streak any Gaints WRs could be a great start.
