- Ben Roethlisberger (398 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT) had a big day before leaving in overtime with a head injury.

- Joe Flacco (256 yards, INT) threw for good yardage against the Colts, but failed to throw a TD.

- Tony Romo (158 yards, TD, INT) and the Dallas offense weren’t sharp for much of the day, but a late TD pass to Patrick Crayton gave the Cowboys the win.

- Matthew Stafford (422 yards, 5 TD, 2 INT) had a huge game against the Browns. Brady Quinn (304 yards, 4 TD) posted a nice fantasy line as well. Of the two, Stafford is the better fantasy QB to own, though keep an eye on his left shoulder injury.

- Alex Smith (227 yards, 3 TD, INT) was really quiet in the first half, but bounced back with a big second half.

- Brett Favre (213 yards, 4 TD) took advantage of a nice matchup and was able to take the fourth quarter off.

- Kurt Warner (203 yards, 2 TD) left the game at the end of the second quarter with a “minor” concussion. Keep an eye on this.

- The Chargers’ running game was rolling, so Philip Rivers (145 yards, TD) didn’t have to do a whole lot.

- Joseph Addai (19 carries, 74 yards, TD) continues to dominate the touches out of the Indy backfield. He looks like an every week start at this point.

- Ladell Betts (4 carries, 5 yards) left the game early with a knee injury and was replaced by Rock Cartwright (20 touches, 140 yards), who suddenly looks like a good pickup.

- Kevin Smith (12 carries, 45 yards) didn’t get a whole lot of work in the running game, but he went for 4-104-1 in the passing game.

- Ryan Grant (21 carries, 129 yards, TD) has been very solid over the last three weeks.

- Marshawn Lynch’s disappointing season continues. He left the game with a shoulder injury after rushing for 18 yards on eight carries. Look for Fred Jackson’s (13 touches, 55 yards) stock to rise with Lynch out.

- Dallas Clark (1-3-1) was oddly quiet on Sunday, while Tom Santi (6-80) had a great game.

- Brandon Pettigrew (6-72-1) had his second great game in two weeks. He looks like a decent start down the stretch.

- Visanthe Shiancoe (8-78-1) caught a TD on a nice 8-yard slant in the second quarter.

- Kevin Boss (5-76-2) is making a late push. He has four TD in his last three games.

- After a 5-45 performance in Week 10, David Thomas (4-66-1) had another nice day. He’s stealing targets from Jeremy Shockey (2-17).

- It might be a good sign for Zach Miller (5-65-1) that Bruce Gradkowski is under center instead of JaMarcus Russell.

Check back in a bit for the WR, RB and QB positions.
