– 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.
– With Cedric Benson sidelined, and Bernard Scott (18 carries, 87 yards) in and out of the game, it was Larry Johnson (22 carries, 107 yards) who led the way in the Cincinnati running game.
– Steve Slaton (10 carries, 57 yards) didn’t get much action in the running game, but he posted 7-49 in the passing game, resulting in a nice fantasy day, at least in PPR leagues. Chris Brown (14 touches, 76 yards, TD) was also involved and got the goal line work.
– Jamaal Charles (17 touches, 147 yards, TD) is looking like one of the better waiver wire pickups of the year. Coming into the game, the Chargers were doing pretty well against opposing RBs, so Charles’ big day is a good sign for his stretch run.
– Frank Gore didn’t run the ball well (16 carries, 33 yards), but he went for 7-14-1 in the passing game.
– Tim Hightower (11 carries, 55 yards, TD) got more carries than Beanie Wells (8 carries, 20 yards), and he added three catches for 23 yards in the passing game.
– Chris Johnson (21 touches, 186 yards, TD) posted another fine fantasy line.
Check back in a bit for the QB position.
