San Francisco 49ers at Houston Texans
Shaun Hill got benched after a pitiful first half in which he led the 49ers to a 0-21 defict. Alex Smith started the third quarter and hooked up with Vernon Davis for three touchdowns in the second half. Frank Gore returned to action, but wasn’t much of a factor as the Niners got down early. He had thirteen carries for 32 yards.
Matt Schaub continues to be a solid fantasy quaterback. He had more modest numbers than some of his recent performances, but nothing wrong with 264 yards and two touchdowns. Owen Daniels had 123 yards receiving, which included a 42 yard touchdown reception.
Andre Johnson left the game early and did not return. He is already scheduled for “further tests” so his owners will be holding their brief until the results come back.
New England Patriots at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tom Brady threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns. He has eleven touchdowns in his last three games. Wes Welker and Brady seemed to have finally gotten their groove back. Welker had ten catches and went over 100 yards receiving for the second week in a row.
The Bucs were abysmal on offense yet again. Their lone highlight was a thirty three yard strike from rookie quarterback Josh Johnson to Antonio Bryant.
Minnesota Vikings at Pittsburgh Steelers
Adrian Peterson scored a touchdown and had 129 yards of total offense. Peterson owners can now breathe a sigh of relief after facing the Ravens and Steelers in back to back weeks. AP’s next three opponents are Green Bay, Detroit and Seattle.
Sidney Rice has fully emerged as Favre’s favorite target, especially if is out for any length of time.
The Steelers weren’t that impressive on offense, but their defense carried them in the fourth quarter. They scored two defensive touchdowns and had an interception, fumble recovery and four sacks on the day.
Indianaoplis Colts at St. Louis Rams
Peyton Manning has clearly reestablished himself as an elite fantasy quarterback. He had three more touchdown passes and threw for 235 yards and no interceptions.
Reggie Wayne started off strong again, scored and then left with an injury. He did return albeit in a limited role, so keep an eye on his health this week.
The Rams continue to struggle and Steven Jackson continues to be the only player worth a start on their offense. He had 134 rushing.
San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs
The Chargers took out weeks of frustration on the hapless Chiefs. Philip Rivers threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns. His new favorite target, Vincent Jackson, had a big game with 142 yards receiving and a touchdown.
I don’t know how to explain the horrid offense of the Kansas City Chiefs, so I won’t.
Green Bay Packers at Cleveland Browns
The packers offense was clicking against an inferior opponent. Aaron Rodgers threw three more touchdowns and now has eleven touchdowns on the year with at least one touchdown pass in each game and two or more in four of six.
Ryan Grant proved that he can still put together a good game even if it is against a weaker opponent. He had 148 yards rushing and a touchdown.
As far as Cleveland goes…BOOOOOOOO!
