Bottom-feeders: Raiders, Titans, Chiefs, Seahawks, Bucs and Saints.

Detroit Lions

Detroit won on the road for the first time since 2007, ending the streak at 26 losses!

The Patriots weakness on defense was exposed in a game they barely managed to win against the Packers rookie QB.

Shocking news – the Panthers actually won a game (and so did the Bengals & Lions)!!!

How ‘bout them Texans – you know you’re in trouble when you get a penalty for your players fighting with each other!

After a slow start, Rex Grossman was solid in replacing Donovan McNabb who was benched this week.

Tim Tebow was solid, if unspectacular, in his debut as the starter for the Broncos.

Bottom feeders: Seahawks, Steelers, Broncos, Saints, Redskins, Browns, 49ers, Bucs and Vikings.

Peyton Manning & Tom Brady

The Bills scored 35 unanswered points for the win after spotting the Bengals to a big lead.

Always fun to watch Peyton Manning & Tom Brady square off – it looked a bit one-sided for awhile in favor of the Pats, but the Colts fought back and a last minute interception cost them a chance to win or at least tie the game.

Hmm, so the maybe the Raiders aren’t for real, and maybe the Steelers are?

Ryan Fitzpatrick wasn’t great in the first half, but bounced back big in the second half.

LeSean McCoy had two TD’s in the fourth quarter to seal the win for Philly.

QB’s

Michael Vick

Tim Tebow threw his first touchdown pass and ran one in as well.

Troy Smith had a solid game and a comeback win and just misses the cut here.

Matt Cassel put up big numbers, mainly because the Chiefs got into a deep hole and tried to pass their way out.

Jacob Tamme

Brandon Pettigrew is still the clear #1 TE in Detroit, proving all those Scheffler boosters wrong.

A new face on the list this week is the Titans’ Craig Stevens.

Marcedes Lewis had his third 2 TD performance of the season.

The Colts didn’t miss a beat with Dallas Clark sidelined, as Jacob Tamme proved to be a solid replacement.

K’s

Ryan Succop

Dan Carpenter and Sebastian Janikowski both put up great fantasy numbers.

Rian Lindell was iced on a 53 yarder he was successful on, then missed on his second attempt. Ryan Succop then missed one from 39 yds. With 5 seconds left in overtime, Succop nailed one from 35 yds for the win.

Another solid outing for Kris Brown in relief of Nate Kaeding.

Tops this week were Dan Carpenter, Sebastian Janikowski, Adam Vinatieri, Mason Crosby, Josh Brown, Kris Brown, Graham Gano, Connor Barth, Garrette Hartley and Ryan Succop.

D/ST’s

Clay Matthews & the Packers D

The Cowboys were powerless to stop the lowly Jags.

The Lions defense had a huge game – 7 sacks, 1 INT, 1 fumble rec and 1 TD

The Raiders had another strong game including 8 sacks.

Tops this week were the Bucs, Packers, Lions, Raiders, Rams, Colts, Cardinals, Jags, Saints, and Redskins.

Bottom-feeders were the Cowboys, Seahawks, Texans, Chargers, Broncos and Vikings.

Cleveland Browns

Big upset with the Browns defeating the Saints, and the Bills gave the Ravens a scare but the Ravens managed to pull off the win in overtime.

The Bengals scored 3 TD’s in 2:21 minutes, but it wasn’t enough as they fell to the Falcons.

Chicago turned the ball over 6 times in large part because Jay Cutler mysteriously seemed convinced that DeAngelo Hall played for the Bears.

Panthers won their first over the lowly 49ers, leaving the Bills as the lone winless team.

The Chargers are apparently blissfully unaware of what constitutes a live ball as not once but twice they ignored two live balls on the field.

Drew Brees had the second 4 interception game of his career.

Not a great outing for Kevin Kolb and Andy Reid confirmed that Michael Vick is still the starter.

Darren McFadden had a monster day, whereas Michael Bush had a less than spectacular outing.

Chris Ivory’s numbers were not great this week and the Saints are hoping to get Reggie Bush back this coming week seeing as Pierre Thomas is in the coach’s doghouse.

The Saints defense couldn’t do anything to stop the Browns.

The Ravens surprisingly had their hands full containing the lowly Bills.

The Cowboys fell to 1-4, and the 49ers finally won one to go to 1-5.

QB’s

D/ST

Steelers defense

The Steelers are only allowing opponents a league leading average of 12 pts/game.

After two solid outings, the Giants bent but didn’t break (solid run defense, bad passing defense) and just managed to beat the Lion’s and their 3^rd string QB.

The Rams had 7 sacks in defeating the Chargers, and the Seahawks had 6 sacks in their defeat of the Bears.

The Titans lead the league with 24 sacks – the Giants, Packers & Chargers are all tied for second place with 21 sacks each.

Jason Campbell had to fill in for the injured Bruce Gradkowski and helped propel the Raiders to a big win over the Chargers.

RB’s

Michael Bush

With Darren McFadden injured, Michael Bush stepped in and had a solid outing.

When Joseph Addai was injured in the 3^rd quarter, Mike Hart stepped in and scored his first TD of the season.

Another strong performance by Matt Forte would appear to prove that he has returned to form and last year was just an anomaly.

Brandon Jackson finally gave Green Bay some semblance of a rushing game.

D/ST’s

Giants maul the Texans

The Titans were solid in the first half against the Cowboys and bent but didn’t break in the second half and managed to seal the victory.

The Raiders scored their first defensive TD since 2007 and had their first win over the Chargers since 2003, snapping a 13 game losing streak.

The Giants held the Texans vaunted rushing attack to a measly 24 yds.

Tops this week were the Raiders, Lions, Cardinals, Falcons, Eagles, Bears, Jets, Bucs, Redskins and Titans.

Bottom feeders were the Chargers, Texans, Jags, Vikings, Cowboys, Broncos and Rams.

St Louis Rams

Those fickle fans in Philly actually gave Donovan McNabb a standing ovation on his return.

With a lack of depth at RB, the Saints were barely able to eke out a win against the lowly Panthers.

The Rams are division leaders in the NFC West!!!

The 49ers tumbled to 0-4 in a close one with the Falcons.

The Jags prevailed in a shocking win over the Colts.

QB’s

David Garrard

Michael Vick was knocked out of the game with a rib injury early in the first half and Kevin Kolb was unable to lead the team to victory.

Aaron Rodgers – 181 yds, 3 TD’s, 2 INT, 20 yds rushing

RB’s

LaDainian Tomlinson

Arian Foster was in the coach’s doghouse in the first half for missing a team meeting, then ran wild in the second half.

Darren McFadden had more carries for the Raiders, but Michael Bush scored the lone rushing TD.

Laurence Maroney had a miserable 11 carries for 5 yds.

Who says LaDainian Tomlinson is over the hill.

LaSean McCoy didn’t contribute much on the ground but had solid value in PPR leagues.

Peyton Hillis was the only Browns RB to touch the ball in their upset of the Bengals.

Arian Foster – 131 yds, 1 TD, 3 rec for 56 yds & 1 TD

Joel Dreesen, better known for his blocking, was Houston’s top receiver this week.

Brandon Pettigrew had a better day then Tony Scheffler, but both were heavily involved in the passing game.

Evan Moore notched his first TD, but only had one catch.

Tony Gonzalez became the first TE in history to amass 12,000 yds receiving – a definite first ballot Hall of Famer!

Matt Prater has made 27 of his last 28 FG attempts.

Tops this week were Jason Hanson, Matt Prater, Nate Kaeding, Stephen Gostkowski, Phil Dawson, Matt Bryant, Rob Bironas and John Carney.

D/ST’s

Giants defense

The Giants had a monster game on defense, highlighted by their 10 sacks.

The Colts defense couldn’t get the job done and allowed the Jags to steal a win.

The Patriots special teams came up big and helped power them to an easy victory.

Top teams were the Patriots, Chargers, Giants, 49ers, Packers, Rams, Titans, Browns, Lions and Texans.

Bottom feeders were the Jags, Eagles, Dolphins, Colts, Raiders and Bills.
