- Donovan McNabb (240 yards, 3 TD) shredded a dinged-up Giants secondary.

- Mark Sanchez (265 yards, 2 TD) was able to take advantage of the Dolphins young CBs.

- Alex Smith (198 yards, TD, INT) had a better-than-expected game against the Colts’ stingy pass defense.

- Neither Matthew Stafford (168 yards, INT) nor Marc Bulger (176 yards, INT) played well even though they both had great matchups.

- Tony Romo (256 yards, 3 TD) posted big numbers for the third straight week. He has 918 yards and 8 TD over that span, but faces a tough test in Philly next week.

- Jay Cutler (225 yards, INT) had a very disappointing day against the Browns.

- Coming into Week 8, the Titans had the league’s worst pass defense, so David Garrard’s performance (139 yards, 2 INT) is a major disappointment.

- Vince Young completed 15/18 passes (for 125 yards and TD) en route to a nice day. He also ran 12 times for 30 yards. If Young wants to get back to what made him so successful in his rookie season, he needs to run the ball.

- Kurt Warner (242 yards, 2 TD, 5 INT) turned the ball over six times.

- Brett Favre (244 yards, 4 TD) stuck it to his old team. He was sharp, but the Packers weren’t able to put much pressure on him.

- Aaron Rodgers (287 yards, 3 TD) played well in a tough situation, or at least in the second half. He is still taking sacks that he shouldn’t be.

- Knowshon Moreno (12 touches, 35 yards, TD) scored, but Correll Buckhalter (14 touches, 46 yards) got more work in the passing game (6-30).

- LeSean McCoy (13 touches, 92 yards) was quiet most of the day, but busted loose on a 66-yards scamper early in the fourth quarter to put the game away.

- After getting shredded by the Miami running game earlier in the seasons, the Jets shut down both Ronnie Brown (11 carries, 27 yards) and Ricky Williams (8 carries, 27 yards).

- The Jets leaned more on Thomas Jones (27 carries, 102 yards) than expected. Shonn Greene (8 carries, 18 yards) fell back to Earth after a huge Week 7.

- Steven Jackson (25 touches, 166 yards, TD) continues to have a Pro Bowl caliber season for a terrible team.

- Kevin Smith didn’t do much in the running game (16 carries, 45 yards), but was 4-49 in the passing game and is an every-week start in most PPR formats. It should be noted that Maurice Morris had 14 carries as Smith was sidelined with an ankle injury.

- When your running game is struggling, it’s always nice to get a matchup with the Browns. Matt Forte (26 carries, 90 yards, 2 TD) is proof of that.

- Steve Slaton (1 carry, 1 yard) was benched after a fumble, and Ryan Moats (25 touches, 151 yards, 3 TD) went nuts in his place.

- Marshawn Lynch (12 touches, 49 yards) continues to flounder in the Bills’ struggling offense.

- How does a guy (Maurice Jones-Drew), who is averaging 22.1 yards per carry, only get eight totes in a game? MJD went for 177 yards and two TD against a pretty good Titan rush defense.

- Chris Johnson (24 carries, 228 yards, 2 TD) one-upped MJD as Tennessee got its first win.

- LaDainian Tomlinson (18 carries, 56 yards, 2 TD) continues to struggle running the ball (3.4 ypc), but he did find the endzone twice. He averaged 3.1 ypc against the Chiefs last week, so with the Giants and the Eagles coming up, his issues are worrisome.

- Don’t look now, but Justin Fargas (21 touches, 79 yards, TD) is becoming fantasy relevant again.

- Coming into Week 8, the Cardinals had the NFL’s top-ranked rush defense. Then the Panthers racked up 270 yards and 2 TD on the ground. Wow. DeAngelo Williams (23 carries, 158 yards) led in yards, but Jonathan Stewart (17 carries, 87 yards, 2 TD) scored twice.

- The Beanie Wells (8 touches, 47 yards) hype machine went off the rails. Tim Hightower (8 carries, 39 yards, TD) scored a touchdown and went for 8-57 in the passing game.

- Adrian Peterson (25 carries, 97 yards, TD) had a pretty nice day running the ball, but it was his 44-yard reception late in the game that effectively sealed the deal for the Vikings.

Be sure to check back in a bit for the QB position.

- Braylon Edwards (4-74-1) and Jerricho Cotchery (3-70) were targeted 10 times and 8 times, respectively.

- Reggie Wayne (12-147-1) was questionable coming in, but had a huge game against a 49ers defense did a good job of keeping the Colts out of the endzone.

- Michael Crabtree (6-81) has quickly become quite startable in PPR formats. Alex Smith targeted him nine times.

- Donnie Avery (1-15) was a no show against a pretty bad Lions pass defense and can’t be trusted in fantasy starting lineups.

- Miles Austin (5-61-1) continues to assert himself as the Cowboys’ clear WR1.

- Terrell Owens (5-39) didn’t have a big day catching the ball, but he had a 29-yard TD run.

- Mike Sims-Walker (2-9) had a horribly disappointing day in what was a great matchup against the Titans brutal pass defense.

- Malcom Floyd (2-64) got the start over Chris Chambers (1-20), and it was a long time coming. Floyd will be the third passing option after Vincent Jackson (8-103-1) and Antonio Gates (3-49).

- Greg Jennings (8-88-1) had a big game, but was injured late. He walked off under his own power, but keep an eye on him this week.

Be sure to check back in a bit for the RB and QB positions.

- After a rough start, Kevin Boss (3-70-1) seems to be coming on. Daniels owners may want to pick him up.

- After a couple of quiet weeks, Brent Celek (4-61-1) had a nice day against the Giants.

- Dustin Keller (8-76-1) has been quiet much of the season, but busted out against the Dolphins. He’s another guy that Daniels owners should consider.

- Zach Miller (5-52) has been pretty decent over the last four weeks, averaging 4.3-69-0.3 during that span.

Be sure to check back in a bit for the WR, RB and QB positions.
