Week Eleven | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Studs: Tom Brady and Randy Moss, Patriots: Brady tosses 5 TD’s and 4 of them go to Moss...if this reminds you of the numbers you recently racked up after creating yourself on Madden, that’s the kind of life Brady is leading. Still, I think New England loses before it’s all said and done. Pride cometh before a fall. Brett Favre, QB, Packers: The media’s man-love for Tom Brady may only be rivaled by similar affection for this guy, who tossed another 3 TD’s and 0 INT’s. Tony Romo, QB, Cowboys: Romo put up 293 yards and 4 scores, as the Cowboys look more and more one-dimensional each week. They’ll have to re-find their running game to finish this thing out. Matt Schaub, QB, Texans: A workmanlike 2 TD no INT effort for the returning Schaub. Matt Hasselbeck, QB, Seahawks: The Bald Eagle went for 337 and 2 scores against a Bears team that is officially a mess. Chester Taylor, RB, Vikings: This just in the Vikings offensive line is really, really good. The Raiders are also pretty bad against the run, allowing Chet to put up 3 TD’s and 158 yards. Terrell Owens, WR, Cowboys: 8 catches, 137 yards, 4 TD’s. Andre Johnson, WR, Texans: Andre, I’m so glad your knee is feeling better. Johnson’s first catch was for a 73 yd. TD and he went over 100 for the day. DJ Hackett, WR, Seahawks: 9 catches, 138 yards and a score for a popular sleeper pick who, to this point, hadn’t done anything. Ted Ginn, WR, Dolphins: Makes this list largely because of an 87 yard punt return for a TD. Also added 52 yards on 4 catches, flashing some of the potential that made him a first round reach in this year’s draft. Devard Darling, WR, Ravens: It makes total sense that a guy who had 2 catches on the season would go off to the tune of 4 catches for 107 yards and a score. Antrel Rolle, CB, Cardinals: A 55 yard INT return for a TD in the first quarter, and then a 54 yard INT return for a TD in the 3rd puts Rolle on this list. Duds: The Steelers: Enjoyed their second bye week this week, in a wholly underwhelming loss vs. the wholly underwhelming Jets. Peyton Manning, QB, Colts: A little glimpse ahead at life without Marvin Harrison? Manning owners hope not, because for the second straight week he sucked, this time to the tune of 0 TD’s and 1 INT to go with 163 yards. Donovan McNabb,QB, Eagles: Was horrible (3/11 for 34 yards and 2 INT’s) before leaving the game with an ankle injury, paving the way for AJ Feeley (where’s Kevin Kolb?). Byron Leftwich, QB, Falcons: Makes Falcon fans long for the Joey Harrington era, throwing 2 INT’s and no TD’s. Derek Anderson, QB, Browns: His insane hot streak finally ran aground this week, as he was held to no TD’s and 1 pick. Kyle Boller, QB, Ravens: Pulled off the herculean task of having a mediocre game against Cleveland’s secondary. Still, he almost engineered a comeback. Kenny Watson and Rudi Johnson, RB’s, Bengals: Stay far away from this situation, as again, neither back was effective as the Bengals lost the “Underachiever Bowl” to Arizona. Perhaps next year’s new coach can sort this mess out. Reggie Bush, RB, Saints: Touchdowns: Zero. Fumbles: Two. Fantasy Impact: Little. For what it’s worth, Mario Williams had a sack and a forced fumble. Warrick Dunn, RB, Falcons: Hey, Warrick Dunn really looked good...in Week 10. This week he was back to the old Warrick, averaging roughly 2 YPC and failing to find the end zone. Kevin Jones, RB, Lions: Jones is a good back, unfortunately his offensive coordinator has abandoned the run completely. Jones did very little on 11 carries, as this team is becoming Exhibit A in the argument that skill position studs with no line does not a team make. Plaxico Burress, WR, Giants: 4 catches, 47 yards and no scores for the hurting Plax.
