STUDS
1. Matt Cassel – If you throw for 400 yards passing two weeks in a row, it goes without question that you will sit at the top of the “Stud” list for that given week. While it is more than likely this impressive run will come to an end this week vs. Blitzburgh, a ton of credit still has to be given to a player that achieves something less than 10 other quarterbacks in NFL history have ever done. Come next season, Cassel’s paycheck will definitely have a few more zeros at the end of it as a starting quarterback somewhere else in this league…
2. Michael Turner – 117 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns?? Works for me!
3. Dallas Cowboys – Whether it was Tony Romo, Terrell Owens, the defense, or even NICK FOLK, having a Cowboy in your lineup on Sunday was definitely a bright spot this week for fantasy owners. With injuries beginning to heal and team confidence building once again, the Cowboys yet again look like a great play this week on Thanksgiving vs. the Seahawks…
4. Tony Gonzalez – You must know a player is a pretty talented individual when he goes from questionable to play earlier in the week to ending up catching 10 balls for 113 yards and a TD on Sunday. Despite a nagging sprained knee that he suffered the previous week, Gonzo found many holes in that Buffalo secondary and should do the same this coming week vs. Oakland…
5. Drew Brees - After watching Drew Brees and the Saints on Monday Night, it truly is mind boggling how a team that looked SO good is only 6-5. Playing for their postseason lives vs. the Packers, Brees stepped up and looked like a league MVP candidate by throwing for 323 yards and 4 touchdowns. With Reggie Bush expected back this coming week, Brees and the Saints are going to need a duplicate performance once again when they square up against division rival Tampa Bay next Sunday.
DUDS
1. Donovan McNabb – Two weeks in a row on this list can never be good. While in fairness his performance Sunday was on the road vs. the vaunted Baltimore defense, there is still no excuse for a 9 million dollar quarterback to get pulled in favor of a no namer in Kevin Kolb. With that million dollar cap figure expecting to crack double digits next year, it looks more and more like #5 will be changing his address next season…
2. Denver Defense – If the Oakland Raiders and Jamarcus Russell absolutely SMOKE you in your backyard, you automatically make this list. Terrible.
3. Aaron Rodgers – After a Sunday in which former Packers quarterback Brett Favre led his Jets to beat then undefeated Tennessee, laying a total egg on MNF will definitely not help put to bed those obnoxious “Favre vs. Rodgers” comparisons that the media has constantly done all year. Overall on the night, Rodgers finished with an ugly 3 interceptions and gained much of his yardage after the game was well out of reach. If it ends up that the Pack miss the playoffs while Brett the Jet leads his team to a first round bye, things could get very ugly in Green Bay this offseason…
4. LenDale White – "I really couldn't tell you what happened. I don't really know...I didn't care really.” Ah yes, the infamous words of a true team player in Titans running back LenDale White after Sunday’s loss to the New York Jets. When you add together these comments, the fact that he only touched the ball two times on Sunday, and the emergence of rookie Chris Johnson, it looks more and more likely that White will see a lot more of the bench going forward…
THANK YOU AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
