Kansas City Chiefs at Jacksonville Jaguars
Matt Cassell put up solid fantasy numbers as he threw two late touchdowns during a failed comeback bid. He finished with two scores and 262 yards passing and no picks. Filling in for the oft-suspended Larry Johnson, Jamaal Charles failed to impress gaining only thirty six yards.
Newly acquired Chris Chambers caught two touchdowns. Keep an eye on him and see if he and Cassell develop a good realtionship.
The Jags were led again by Maurice Jones-Drew who had 134 total yards and scored a touchdown. Mike Sims-Walker also had a big day with 147 yards receiving and a touchdown.
Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Aaron Rodgers threw three interceptions, the last of which was a pick six that sealed the Packers loss to the winless Bucs. James Jones and Donald Driver each caught a touchdown. Ryan Grant rushed for 96 yards and a score.
Despite their win, the Bucs had no real impressive fantasy performances. Kellen Winslow caught his first touchdown since week 5.
Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots
Looking at the stats for this game, it is hard to believe the Dolphins weren’t blown out. They had only 334 total yards on offense. Ronnie Brown scored his weekly touchdown on a pass to Joey Haynos.
Tom Brady only had one touchdown pass, but it was a 71 yard bomb to Randy Moss. Moss finished with 147 yards receiving and the score.
Laurence Maroney had 82 yards rushing and scored a touchdown for the third week in a row.
Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts
Matt Schaub did not appear to miss Owen Daniels too much. Schaub threw for 311 yards and a touchdown, but he did have two interceptions. Andre Johnson had 103 yards receiving.
Ryan Moats did not come close to matching last week’s numbers, but he did score a touchdown. Steve Slaton gained a meager seventeen yards on six carries, but he did score a touchdown in his new limited role. The problem for owners of both Houston running backs is now they appear to be in a full blown running back by committee approach.
Peyton Manning had modest numbers this week. He eclipsed the 300 yard mark, but only had one touchdown and a pick. Joseph Addai had 112 total yards and scored two touchdowns. Dallas Clark had a big day with fourteen catches and 119 yards receiving.
Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals
Not many solid fantasy performances in this one.
The Ravens offense continues to struggle. Ray Rice scored the lone Raven touchdown and had 131 total yards.
Cedric Benson continued his streak of impressive performances. He rushed for 117 yards and scored a touchdown.
Arizona Cardinals at Chicago Bears
Unlike the the Ravens/Bengals game, this was an offensive shoot out. Kurt Warner bounced back in a big way after last week’s debacle. He threw for five touchdowns on 261 yards passing with no interceptions. Larry Fitzgerald caught two of the five and also had 123 yards receiving. Steve Breaston also caught a touchdown.
Jay Cutler also had a big game. He threw three touchdowns to Gren Olsen and had 369 yards passing. Matt Forte only had five carries for 33 yards, but he also had 74yards receiving.
Washington Redskins at Atlanta Falcons
Saving the worst for last, the bye week did not seem to help the Redskins. As if things couldn’t get any worse for the Skins, Clinton Portis left the game with a concussion and did not return.
Michael Turner went off to the tune of 166 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Turner has put together two huge weeks in a row and may be hitting his stride after a relatively slow start. Tony Gonzalez caught Matt Ryans’ lone passing touchdown.
