With three Thursday games this week, there aren’t as many games to choose from, but Sunday still featured some big performances. S-Jax and LT went nuts, while Colston’s replacement went bonkers. Meanwhile, Frye was a huge disappointment and Torry continues to struggle. But enough with the tease, let’s get right to this week’s Headliners and Flatliners.

HEADLINERS

Vince Young (249 pass yards, 2 pass TD, 69 rush yards, 1 TD)
Young led the Titans on a remarkable 21-point comeback in the second half, throwing for two TD and rushing for another. He has been playing well of late and should continue to be a decent start down the stretch.

Honorable Mention: Brad Johnson (271 yards, 3 TD), Carson Palmer (275 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT), Drew Brees (349 yards, 2 TD), Matt Leinart (405 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT), David Carr (321 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT), Chad Pennington (286 yards, 1 TD), Michael Vick (84 pass yards, 166 rush yards)

Steven Jackson (32 touches, 192 yards, 1 TD)
This award could easily go to LT, but S-Jax had nine catches which gives him the nod in PPR leagues. Plus, I played against him in three of four leagues this week, so he deserves the recognition. Thanks a lot, Steven.

Honorable Mention: LaDainian Tomlinson (20 touches, 114 total yards, 2 rush TD, 19 pass yards, 1 pass TD), Chester Taylor (30 touches, 171 yards, 1 TD), Frank Gore (25 rec, 165 yards, 1 TD), Deuce McAllister (22 touches, 76 yards, 2 TD), Willis McGahee (13 touches, 71 yards, 2 TD)

Devery Henderson (4 rec, 158 yards, 1 TD)
Henderson stepped in for Marques Colston and didn’t miss a beat. Drew Brees is red hot right now and his WRs are benefiting.

Honorable Mention: Anquan Boldin (9 rec, 140 yards, 1 TD), Laveranues Coles (9 rec, 111 yards, 1 TD), Larry Fitzgerald (11 rec, 172 yards), Andre Johnson (10 rec, 98 yards, 1 TD), Chris Henry (5 rec, 41 yards, 2 TD)

Ben Watson (6 rec, 89 yards, 1 TD)
Chris Cooley looked like he had this award wrapped up after the early games, but Watson (and Gates) both put up slightly better efforts in the late contests. Watson has emerged as a dangerous weapon in the Patriots offense and should be starting for fantasy owners the rest of the way.

Honorable Mention: Antonio Gates (6 rec, 81 yards, 1 TD), Chris Cooley (3 rec, 89 yards, 1 TD), Todd Heap (7 rec, 58 yards, 1 TD)

FLATLINERS

Charlie Frye (186 yards, 4 INT)
My apologies to those who took my advice this week and started Frye at home against a very suspect Bengals defense. Four interceptions later, and I’m still scratching my head.

Dishonorable Mention: Rex Grossman (176 yards, 3 INT), Ben Roethlisberger (214 yards, 2 INT), Phillip Rivers (133 yards, 1 INT), J.P. Losman (169 yards, 1 INT)

Edgerrin James (6 touches, 25 yards)
Edge’s struggles continue, this time against a tough Vikings rush defense. I’m not sure the Cardinals’ running game will ever get on track.

Dishonorable Mention: Willie Parker (12 touches, 37 yards), Travis Henry (15 touches, 51 yards)

Torry Holt (4 rec, 30 yards)
What’s wrong with Torry? After seven scores in the first six games, he hasn’t caught a TD pass in the last five.

Dishonorable Mention: Randy Moss (3 rec, 26 yards), Hines Ward (4 rec, 33 yards), Muhsin Muhammad (3 rec, 37 yards)

Alge Crumpler (1 rec, 43 yards)
Crumpler had one big play, but otherwise spent his day in a seemingly constant state of tantrum.

Dishonorable Mention: Jeremy Shockey (5 rec, 39 yards)
