- Calvin Johnson (4-37) had a rough game against a good Ravens defense, though he’s a lot better off when Matt Stafford is under center.

- With Devin Hester out, Johnny Knox (5-83-1) and Devin Aromashodu (8-76-1) both had nice days.

- Andre Johnson (11-193-2) went nuts against a bad Seattle pass defense.

- You better hope you weren’t playing Brandon Marshall (21-200-2) in a PPR league. (I did.) Marshall set the record for most catches in a game. Eddie Royal had one catch for three yards.

- Davone Bess (3-22) no longer looks like a starting caliber fantasy wideout. Greg Camarillo (7-110) got most of the work.

- Mike Sims-Walker (1-6) was a surprise start (calf), but he was terribly unproductive.

- Way to go, Randy Moss (1-16). Wes Welker (10-105) is far more dependable.

- After a couple of semi-quiet weeks, Vincent Jackson (7-120) went off against the Cowboys.

Check back in a few minutes for the RB and QB positions.

- Jermichael Finley (5-70) continues to be a big part of the Green Bay passing game.

- Dallas Clark (5-43-3) will probably carry a few fantasy teams to victory this week.

- Ben Watson (3-37-1) caught a TD, so he’ll be on the fantasy radar this week. Don’t fall for it.

- Dustin Keller (1-3) was brutal, as was the entire Jets passing game. They didn’t have to throw it much because they ran the ball at will on the Bucs.

- Fred Davis (3-50-2) continues his nice run. He has posted 12-146-4 over the last three games.

- Jason Witten (4-49) outgained Antonio Gates (4-44-1) but Gates found the endzone.

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

- The Carolina defense did a number on Josh Freeman (321 yards, 5 INTs) and are likely to carry a few fantasy teams to victory this week.

- Matt Moore (161 yards, INT) was not impressive in his first start, but he only turned the ball over once, and that’s all the Panthers needed on Sunday.

- Jay Cutler (143 yards, TD) has a disappointing day given his nice matchup. Bears fans are just happy he got the win.

- The Denver defense seems to have its swagger back. Matt Cassel (84 yards, 2 INT) struggled, as did the entire KC offense.

- Tom Brady (352 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT) didn’t seem too bothered by an injured finger, but he did throw the game-ending interception.

- Bruce Gradkowski (308 yards, 3 TD) had a HUGE day against the Steelers.

- Ben Roethlisberger (278 yards, 2 TD, INT) bounced back from a Week 12 absence with a big day against a pretty good Raider secondary.

- It wasn’t exactly pretty, but Drew Brees (419 yards, 2 TD, INT) posted another nice fantasy day.

- Jason Campbell (367 yards, 3 TD, INT) had a big day against New Orleans, but threw a costly interception in overtime that led to the Saints’ game-winning field goal.

- Alex Smith (310 yards, 2 TD) continues to play well down the stretch. With Arizona in Week 14 and Detroit in Week 16, he is definitely startable in the fantasy playoffs.

- Tony Romo (392 yards, 3 TD) had a big day in the Cowboys’ loss against the Giants.

- Jerious Norwood (13 touches, 42 yards) and Jason Snelling (12 touches, 52 yards) basically split the work with Michael Turner out.

- LeSean McCoy (9 touches, 26 yards) was a big disappointment given his good matchup with the Falcons defense.

- Jonathan Stewart (26 carries, 120 yards, TD) was strong filling in for the injured DeAngelo Williams.

- Kevin Smith (18 touches, 104 yards, TD) ended up having a nice day against a good Bengals defense.

- Cedric Benson (36 carries, 110) yards is the clear RB1 in Cincy. Larry Johnson (2 carries, 4 yards) was not involved in the offense.

- Earth to Maurice Jones-Drew (24 carries, 76 yards): Where are you?

- Roddy White (9-104-1) caught his TD on a deflected pass intended for Tony Gonzalez.

- Steve Smith 1.0 (3-78) was really quiet until he caught a 66-yard bomb in the fourth quarter. Generally speaking, he’s not a great play right now.

- Antonio Bryant (5-116) looks like he’s back. He made a couple of very nice catches this week.

- Earl Bennett (2-74-1) had a nice game and could be a nice pickup if Devin Hester’s (1-48) injury keeps him out.

- Donnie Avery (3-30, 1 rush for 15 yards) should have done more with a nice matchup. He’s back to being a shaky start after a nice run of games.

- Chad Ochocinco (9-137-1) got back on track. The Lions will do that for a guy.

- It was Pierre Garcon (6-136), not Reggie Wayne (4-48), who led the Colts in receiving.

- Mike Sims-Walker (1-12) had a miserable day against the Texans. He only has 5-58 over the last two weeks.

- Chris Chambers (2-11) came into Week 13 very hot (17-319-3 over his last four games), but Champ Bailey and Co. shut him down.

- One word for Greg Olsen (2-1): Ugh.

- Neither Detroit TE (Will Heller, Casey Fitzsimmons) did much in place of Brandon Pettigrew.

- Dallas Clark (3-25) had a bad, bad day by his standards.

- Bo Scaife (5-56-1) has caught 14 passes over the last three weeks and is starter-quality in PPR leagues.

- Anthony Fasano (5-67) has 10-141 over the last two weeks and should be a much bigger part of the offense down the stretch. He’s worth a look in PPR leagues and is always dangerous around the goal line.

- Zach Miller (4-43) should be back on rosters now that he actually has a QB who can deliver the ball somewhat accurately. He has 14 catches over the last three weeks.

- Fred Davis (5-53-1) has 15 receptions in the last four weeks and seems to be a favorite target of Jason Cambpell.

- Antonio Gates (8-167) has been very hot of late. He now has 30 catches in the last five games.

- Jason Witten (14-156) finally had a huge day. He has been steady this season, but this is the first time that he has caught more than nine passes and only the second time that he broke 100 yards receiving.

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

- Vince Young (387 yards, TD) continues to play well. He threw the game-winning TD in the fourth quarter to Kenny Britt.

- Josh Freeman (250 yards, 2 TD) has played well since taking over as the starter. He’s still a rookie, so he’s going to struggle against the better teams, but when he has a nice matchup he’s borderline startable.

- Matt Ryan (15 yards) left the game with a toe injury and was unable to return. Chris Redman (243 yards, 2 TD) played pretty well in his place.

- Ryan Fitzpatrick (246 yards, TD, INT, rush TD) is playing well and showed some wheels on a 31-yard TD scamper in the second quarter.

- Jason Campbell (231 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT, rush TD) had a big fantasy day against the Eagles.

- Matt Hasselbeck (102 yards) had a surprisingly quiet game against a pretty bad Rams secondary.

- Alex Smith (232 yards, 2 TD) had yet another solid fantasy outing. He has had at least two pass TD in four of his six starts this season.

- Brett Favre (392 yards, 3 TD) torched a bad Chicago secondary.

- Kurt Warner was a surprise scratch, and Matt Leinart (220 yards) was rather pedestrian in his place.

- Michael Turner (12 carries, 33 yards) probably should have sat out another week. He was largely ineffective and reinjured the ankle that kept him out last week.

- Fred Jackson (20 touches, 116 yards, 2 TD) dominated the touches in the BUF backfield. Marshawn Lynch (4 touches, 15 yards) was ineffective.

- Rock Cartwright (18 touches, 64 yards) got most of the work, but didn’t do much.

- LeSean McCoy (21 touches, 101 yards) got the lion’s share of the carries for the Eagles, but it was Eldra Buckley who got the goal line work.

- Julius Jones didn’t dress, and Justin Forsett (22 carries, 130 yards, 2 TD) took full advantage. He didn’t catch a pass, however.

- Steven Jackson (28 touches, 116 yards, TD) didn’t practice this week, but that didn’t stop him from having a nice fantasy day.

- Antonio Bryant (3-91-1) is starting to play like his old self. Josh Freeman looks pretty good, so feel free to use Bryant when he has a good matchup.

- Michael Jenkins (7-80) has posted 13-156 over the past two weeks and merits consideration in PPR leagues.

- Terrell Owens (5-96-1) seems to like Ryan Fitzpatrick more than Trent Edwards. Fitzpatrick says he is more willing to throw the ball downfield and let his wideouts make a play.

- Jason Avant (5-94) has posted 17-276-1 over the last three weeks and has filled the void left by Brian Westbrook in the passing game. DeSean Jackson (2-40-1) left the game with a head/neck injury.

- Donnie Avery (4-48-1) had a TD early, but was quiet for much of the day until the Rams went into catch up mode.

- Steve Smith (1-5) had a TD catch that was called back due to lack of control over the ball. He’s never going to be consistent with Jake Delhomme as his QB.

- There weren’t a lot of yards or catches to go around in the Seattle passing game, which is why John Carlson (2-14) posted such an anemic line.

- Dante Rosario (4-62) has 8-102 over the last two weeks. Owners who need a TE (in a PPR league) should give him a look.

- Dallas Clark (9-63-1) had another monster day and has been great all season.

- With Owen Daniels sidelined, neither James Casey (2-17) nor Joel Dreessen (1-14) did enough to warrant a pickup.

- Antonio Gates (7-118-2) had just his second monster day of the season. The first came in Week 4 against the Steelers (9-124-2). He has four TD in two games, and zero in the others.

- Visanthe Shiancoe followed up his 8-78-1 performance in Week 11 with a 5-51-1 outing against the Bears. He is a solid start in most formats.

- Bo Scaife (5-68) put up a decent PPR line, as usual.

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