Falcons 39, Bengals 32
Falcons: Roddy White is the best fantasy football WR in the game today. Roddy White had 11 receptions for 201 yards and 2 TDs in Sundays high scoring affair with the Bengals. On the season White has 54 rec., 747 yards, and 5 TDs. As of right now I would not trade Roddy White for anyone or anything. Michael Turner had his best game of the season scoring 2 TDs and rushing for 121 yards on 23 carries. Turner also had 3 catches for 23 yards. Hopefully this is a sign that Turner is finally going to live up to the potential his owners were excepting. Matt Ryan had a good game passing for 299 yards and 3 TDs along with 1 INT.
Bengals: Carson Palmer threw the ball 50 times in this game and he completed 36 of them for 3 TDs and 412 yards. All three of the Bengals top WR had a TD. Terrell Owens had 9 catches for 88 yard and 1 TD, Chad Ochocinco hauled in 10 passes for 108 yard and 1 TD, and Jordan Shipley had 6 catches for 131 yards and 1 TD. Owens has been the most consitent WR for the Bengals this season. While Ochocinco has not been good outside of Week 1 and this week. I think Ochocinco bought himself some more time with his owners who were on the verge of dropping him. Cedric Benson rushed for 70 yards on 20 carries. Again Benson is a RB2 at most and he will not find the endzone that much in a pass first offense.
Steelers 23, Dolphins 22
Steelers: Hines Ward had a big game catching 7 balls for 131 yards and 1 TD. Mike Wallace also had a TD and finished the game with just 2 catches for 53 yards. Ward and Wallace will continue to be excellent WR options for fantasy owners the rest of the year. Rashard Mendenhall rushed 15 times for 37 yards. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said leading up to this weeks game that they will start to mix in the other RBs to keep Mendenhall fresh. Mewelde Moore saw some action in the backfield but not enough to worry Mendenhall owners. Ben Roethlisberger had a solid game passing for 302 yards and 2 TDs. Look for Roethlisberger to continue to put up QB1 numbers.
Dolphins: Davone Bess continued his hot streak with 6 catches for 66 yards and his 3rd TD of the season. Bess is a solid WR3 in all league formats. Brandon Marshall was held in check only catching 5 passes for 57 yards. Ricky Williams outrushed Ronnie Brown this week. Williams had 11 carries for 49 yards while Brown had 9 carries for just 14 yards. Brown did have 2 receptions for 20 yards. Chad Henne threw for 257 yards and had 1 TD. Dan Carpenter was the big winner for the Dolphins kicking 5 FGs on the day. Look for the Dolphins to rebound next week against Cincinnati.
Ravens 37, Bills 34 OT
Ravens: Joe Flacco put up good numbers passing for 250 yards and 3 TDs in this come from behind victory for the Ravens. Flacco has just been too inconsistent to be considered a solid QB1. Ray Rice ran 16 times for 72 yards and had just 1 reception. Willis McGahee ran the ball 11 times for 64 yards and scored a 2 yard TD. Coming into the week the Ravens coaches decided to get McGahee more involved and they did this week. For Ray Rice owners this is not good news. For the time being except Rice to get RB2 numbers not the RB1 numbers everyone was excepting out of him coming into the year. Todd Heap caught 2 TDs and ended the game with 3 catches for 59 yards. Anquan Boldin had 6 catches for 92 yards and 1 TD.
Bills: Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Bills offense has become fantasy relevant again because of his play. Fitzpatrick threw for 372 yards and 3 TDs. Since taking over as QB 4 weeks ago Fitzpatrick has put up 11 TDs and passed for 969 yards. Because of Fitzpatrick's solid play Steve Johnson has emerged as a solid fantasy WR. Johnson had 8 receptions for 158 yards and 1 TD. Johnson has scored a TD each of the last 4 weeks for a total of 5 TDs. Lee Evans has a huge game catching 6 passes for 105 yards and 3 TDs. Evans last two games have accounted for all 4 of his TDs and half of his receptions and three quarters of his yardage on the season. Evans could be coming around and may be a solid WR3 going forward. Fred Jackson continued to be the lead back for the Bill rushing 23 times for 73 yards. Jackson is no more than a RB3 at this time. CJ Spiller should be on waiver wires in redraft leagues.
Chiefs 42, Jaguars 20
Chiefs: Matt Cassel managed the game well again for the Chiefs passing for 2 TDs and 193 yards. Both TDs went Dwayne Bowe who finished the game with 3 catches for 81 yards and those 2 TDs. Bowe in the last two weeks has scored 4 TDs and may finally getting back to where he was in his breakout rookie season. Thomas Jones led the Chiefs in rushing. Jones ran for 125 yards on 20 carries and he had 1 TD. Jamaal Charles ran for 71 yards on 15 carries and 1 TD. Jones and Charles are both worth starts for fantasy owners. The two are turning into a duo just like DeAngelo Williams/Jonathan Stewart were in the past few seasons.
Jaguars: Todd Bouman saw his first start since 2005 when he was with the Saints. Bouman passed for 222 yards and 2 TDs with 2 INTs. Mike Sims-Walker scored his 3rd TD of the season and he finished the game with 3 catches for 38 yards. Surprisingly Mike Thomas was held catchless in this game. The only Jaguars player that seemed to benefit from Bouman as the QB was Maurice Jones-Drew. Jones-Drew had 47 yards rushing on 16 carries but he had 5 receptions for 74 yards and 1 TD. The 5 receptions is a season high for Jones-Drew.
Browns 30, Saints 17
Browns: Peyton Hillis rushed for 69 yards on 16 carries and scored his 6th TD of the season. We also found out his can pass this week. Hillis completed a 13 yard pass to Colt McCoy. Ben Watson was held to just 1 catch for 18 yards. Again I don't think Watson is a good long term replacement for Dallas Clark owners and this game shows why I feel that way. There isn't much more to say about the Browns on the offensive side of the ball. The Browns D scored 2 TDs on the day and that was the difference in the game.
Saints: Drew Brees threw 4 INTs for the first time in a game since 2007. Bree finished the game with 358 yards and 2 TDs. Christopher Ivory rushed 15 times for 48 yards. Look for Ivory to carry the load in the backfield for the time being since Pierre Thomas can not get healthy and is in the coaches doghouse because of it. Reggie Bush is expected back next week and he could take a few carries away from Ivory but don't except it to be too many since Bush is better as a receiving back. Marques Colston finally put up WR1 numbers this week hauling in 10 passes for 112 yards and 1 TD.
Redskins 17, Bears 14
Redskins: Donavon McNabb threw for just 200 yards and had 1 TD along with 2 INTs in this game. McNabb has started to slow down of late and is no more than a QB2 right now. Ryan Torain ran for over 100 yards again this week with 125 yards on 21 carries. Torain has a been a solid waiver wire pickup for RB hungry fantasy owners this season. Santana Moss caught McNabb's lone TD pass and Moss finished with 5 catches for 63 yards. Chris Cooley played this week despite suffering a concussion and had a solid game catching 7 passes for 52 yards.
Bears: Jay Cutler threw for 281 yards and 1 TD. Cutler also threw 4 INTs, all of them to DeAngelo Hall, which lead the the Bears losing this game. Matt Forte rushed for 41 yards on 10 carries and had 5 receptions for 32 yards. Again Forte in my opinion is a sell high candidate. Johnny Knox was Cutler's top target catching 6 for 86 yards and 1 TD.
Panthers 23, 49ers 20
Panthers: Matt Moore looked like the QB that finished strong late last season and not the one that struggled early this season. Moore passed for 308 yard and 2 TDs with 1 INT. Steve Smith returned from injury and catch 4 passed for 50 yards. But Moore's top target was rookie WR David Gettis. Gettis hauled in both of Moore's TD passes and had 125 yards on 8 catches. Fellow rookie WR Brandon LaFell also had a good game catching 6 passed for 91 yards. DeAngelo Williams (19-44, 4-19) and Jonathan Stewart (14-29) were held in check by the 49ers D. Both Williams and Stewart have struggled this year. Stewart can be dropped in redraft leagues and Williams right now can not be viewed as more than a RB3/RB4.
49ers: Alex Smith was off to a solid start with 129 yards and 1 TD. But Smith went down with a shoulder injury to his non throwing arm. David Carr came in a slowed the 49ers offense down only passing for 67 yards and 1 INT. Frank Gore had 19 carries for 102 yards and 4 catches for 57 yards. Vernon Davis caught the lone TD pass and finished the day with 74 yards on 4 catches. Michael Crabtree only had 4 catches this week for just 31 yards. With Alex Smith out the other 49ers offense players may struggle to put up their normal stats while he is out.
Buccaneers 18, Rams 17
Buccaneers: Josh Freeman threw for 212 yards and 1 TD. LeGarrette Blount finally took over as the Bucs led back rushing 11 times for 72 yards. Caddy Williams had 4 carries for 12 yards but he had 8 receptions for 34 yards and 1 TD. Look for Blount to takeover the early down carriers and Williams to play mostly 3rd downs and passing plays.
Rams: Sam Bradford had 2 TDs and 126 yards passing on the day. Steven Jackson rushed 22 times for 110 yards and had 2 catches for 35 yards. Jackson continues to put up good yardage numbers and is a solid RB2 because of it. Danny Amendola caught 1 of Bradford's passing TDs and finished the game with 29 yards on 3 catches. Hot waiver wire pickup Danario Alexander was held to 1 catch because of his sore knee that has been surgical repaired 4 times.
Titans 37, Eagles 19
Titans: Kenny Britt had a huge game catching 3 TDs and 225 yards on 7 receptions. The bad thing is a few owners may have benched him after reports came out late in the week that he was involved in a bar fight and would not start the game. Britt did sit for one and half quarter. Reports say the NFL and the Titans are still looking into the incident and more punishment may be coming. Kerry Collins filled in nicely for Vince Young throwing 3 TDs and having 276 yards passing. Chris Johnson was held in check with just 66 yards on 24 carries. Johnson was been very up and down this season but he can never been benched because of his potential to win fantasy games for his owners every week.
Eagles: Kevin Kolb looked human this week throwing 2 INTs and finishing the game with just 212 yards passing and 1 INT. Vick is set to return after the Eagles bye as starting QB so Kolb can return to fantasy benches come Week 9. LeSean McCoy rushed 16 times for 48 yards and hauled in 6 passed for 54 yards. Jeremy Maclin was excepted get a big boost with DeSean Jackson out but he was held to just 42 yards on 5 receptions. The Eagles leading WR was Jason Avant who had 6 catches for 66 yards. Riley Cooper caught the lone TD and finished the game with 51 yards on 3 catches. Look for the Eagles offense to get a big boost when Vick returns.
Dolphins: Davone Bess continued his hot streak with 6 catches for 66 yards and his 3rd TD of the season. Bess is a solid WR3 in all league formats. Brandon Marshall was held in check only catching 5 passes for 57 yards. Ricky Williams outrushed Ronnie Brown this week. Williams had 11 carries for 49 yards while Brown had 9 carries for just 14 yards. Brown did have 2 receptions for 20 yards. Chad Henne threw for 257 yards and had 1 TD.

Vick is set to return after the Eagles bye as starting QB so Kolb can return to fantasy benches come Week 9. LeSean McCoy rushed 16 times for 48 yards and hauled in 6 passed for 54 yards. Jeremy Maclin was excepted get a big boost with DeSean Jackson out but he was held to just 42 yards on 5 receptions. The Eagles leading WR was Jason Avant who had 6 catches for 66 yards. Riley Cooper caught the lone TD and finished the game with 51 yards on 3 catches. Look for the Eagles offense to get a big boost when Vick returns.
