– Fresh off his “lady-friend rendezvous” suspension, Mike Sims-Walker (9-120) posted another nice game. He is averaging 7-100-0.8 per game over the last four games played. Torry Holt (5-101) was also a factor against his old team.
– Donnie Avery (1-17-1) started the day with a TD catch, but left the game with a bruised hip. The guy just can’t seem to stay healthy.
– Sidney Rice (6-176) is turning into a pretty startable wideout. He is averaging 4.8-91-0.5 over the last four games and Brett Favre looks his way often.
– Derrick Mason (7-97-1) scared some people off with his goose egg last week against the Bengals, but he posted 5-118-1 in Week 3 and 7-88-1 in Week 4 to go along with a nice performance this week.
– Lance Moore (6-78-1) finally looks completely healthy and seems to be the Saints’ WR2 once again. Meanwhile, Marques Colston (8-166-1) made it clear that he’s the team’s WR1.
– Steve Smith 2.0 (4-44) had a quiet game, while rookie Hakeem Nicks (5-114-1) and Mario Manningham (4-50-1) both had nice games. Eli Manning just missed Smith on a TD pass in the first half. He’s still an every-week start.
– Mohamed Massaquoi (5-83) followed up a weak effort last week with a pretty nice game against a good Steelers defense. Keep him on your roster.
– Steve Smith 1.0 (1-4) had a brutal game against the Bucs’ terrible pass defense. This is the second straight week where Tampa has been able to shut down the opponent’s WR1. Remember DeSean Jackson’s goose egg last week?
– The Chiefs’ offense was pretty ugly, but Dwayne Bowe (6-109) seem to have it going. Over the last two weeks, Bowe has posted 11- 183-1 and is back to being an every-week start.
– Santana Moss (1-42) has been awfully erratic this year. When he posts this kind of a game against the Chiefs, it’s tough to trust him going forward.
– Anquan Boldin (6-54) left the game with an ankle injury, boosting the value of Steve Breaston (7-77-1). Larry Fitzgerald (13-100-1) torched the Seahawks. He’s the best there is in the NFL.
– Wes Welker (10-150-2) and Randy Moss (8-129-3) went nuts. Tennessee’s pass defense is just dreadful.
– Lee Evans (4-68-1) had a pretty nice game but once again, Terrell Owens (3-13) was a non-factor.
– Jay Cutler continues to spread the ball around to Devin Hester (6-83), Earl Bennett (4-57) and Johnny Knox (3-34-1).
