QB |
| Donovan McNabb |
PHI |
DAL |
Dallas has only allowed one QB to throw for 300+ yards and that was back in week 2. McNabb threw two picks earlier this season against these Cowboys. ( 280 yds pass with 2 TDs and 2 Ints; 10 yds rush ) |
| 0 |
QB |
| Drew Brees |
NOS |
CAR |
Is the 3rd QB on the depth chart this week. |
| 16 |
RB |
| Reggie Bush |
NOS |
CAR |
Saints players are a risk for production on any given Sunday due to play-maker saturation. Now that they've clinched home field throughout it's even more difficult. ( 20 yds rush; 2 catches for 25 yds ) |
| 68 |
RB |
 | Adrian Peterson |
MIN |
NYG |
Giants have packed it in, will run wild. ( 120 yds rush and 2 TDs; 3 catches for 20 yds ) |
| 26 |
RB |
| Willis McGahee |
BAL |
OAK |
Not a crazy start this week, especially with so many other iffy situations. ( 50 yds rush and 1 TD ) |
| 16 |
RB |
| Ahman Green |
GBP |
ARI |
Fill in yards only. ( 40 yds rush ) |
| 30 |
RB |
| LaDainian Tomlinson |
SDC |
WAS |
Meager stats this week, as Tomlinson suits up and plays but at some point sits on the bench and takes a load off. ( 50 yds rush and 1 TD; 1 catch for 10 yds ) |
| 34 |
RB |
| Marion BarberP |
DAL |
PHI |
Barber hasn't seen less than 14 carries since week 10 and now has 3 rushing TD's in the last two games. He's peaking at the right time for Dallas to make a nice run in this year's playoffs. ( 55 yds rush and 1 TD; 2 catches for 20 yds ) |
| 12 |
WR |
| Devery Henderson |
NOS |
CAR |
The longer Brees is allowed to go, the better. Has become the WR3 with the emergence of Meachem. ( 2 catches for 30 yds ) |
| 4 |
WR |
| Mark Clayton |
BAL |
OAK |
He's back! Not that anyone noticed him missing... ( 2 catches for 18 yds ) |
| 28 |
WR |
| Anquan Boldin |
ARI |
GBP |
Could be playing his final regular season game as a Cardinal. ( 5 catches for 75 yds ) |
| 12 |
WR |
| Laveranues Coles |
CIN |
NYJ |
They're not playing for anything and are too likely to be pulled early to reliably start anybody. Look elsewhere. The Jets benefit for the second week in a row. ( 3 catches for 35 yds ) |
| 12 |
WR |
| Legedu Naanee |
SDC |
WAS |
May well see more action than this, depending upon how long Vincent Jackson is in the game. ( 3 catches for 30 yds ) |
| 37 |
WR |
| Derrick MasonP |
BAL |
OAK |
He makes up for that awful, awful drop this week. ( 6 catches for 70 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 29 |
TE |
 | Brent Celek |
PHI |
DAL |
Celek now has to be considered to be in the upper echelon of NFL TE's. He consistently gets the yardage and will score every other game. ( 4 catches for 55 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 0 |
TE |
| Jeremy ShockeyQ |
NOS |
CAR |
The Saints will most likely limit Shockey's snaps to make sure he's healthy for the post season. |
| 5 |
PK |
| Shayne Graham |
CIN |
NYJ |
They're not playing for anything and are too likely to be pulled early to reliably start anybody. Look elsewhere. The Jets benefit for the second week in a row. ( 2 XPs, 1 FG ) |
| 13 |
PK |
| David Akers |
PHI |
DAL |
You can confidently put Akers in your lineup one last week as the Eagles meet the Cowboys and many points will come! ( 2 XPs, 3 FGs ) |
| 0 |
Def |
| Cincinnati Bengals |
CIN |
NYJ |
They're not playing for anything and are too likely to be pulled early to reliably start anybody. Look elsewhere. The Jets benefit for the second week in a row. ( 2 sacks, 2 INTs, 1 Fumble, 27 Points, 394 Yards ) |
| 0 |
Def |
| New Orleans Saints |
NOS |
CAR |
Will get run on by Jonathan Stewart. Matt Moore is still unproven and will be without his favorite target. ( 3 sacks, 1 Fumble, 24 Points, 320 Yards ) |
