– Ben Roethlisberger (398 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT) had a big day before leaving in overtime with a head injury.

– Joe Flacco (256 yards, INT) threw for good yardage against the Colts, but failed to throw a TD.

– Tony Romo (158 yards, TD, INT) and the Dallas offense weren’t sharp for much of the day, but a late TD pass to Patrick Crayton gave the Cowboys the win.

– Matthew Stafford (422 yards, 5 TD, 2 INT) had a huge game against the Browns. Brady Quinn (304 yards, 4 TD) posted a nice fantasy line as well. Of the two, Stafford is the better fantasy QB to own, though keep an eye on his left shoulder injury.

– Alex Smith (227 yards, 3 TD, INT) was really quiet in the first half, but bounced back with a big second half.

– Brett Favre (213 yards, 4 TD) took advantage of a nice matchup and was able to take the fourth quarter off.

– Kurt Warner (203 yards, 2 TD) left the game at the end of the second quarter with a “minor” concussion. Keep an eye on this.

– The Chargers’ running game was rolling, so Philip Rivers (145 yards, TD) didn’t have to do a whole lot.

– Joseph Addai (19 carries, 74 yards, TD) continues to dominate the touches out of the Indy backfield. He looks like an every week start at this point.

– Ladell Betts (4 carries, 5 yards) left the game early with a knee injury and was replaced by Rock Cartwright (20 touches, 140 yards), who suddenly looks like a good pickup.

– Kevin Smith (12 carries, 45 yards) didn’t get a whole lot of work in the running game, but he went for 4-104-1 in the passing game.

– Ryan Grant (21 carries, 129 yards, TD) has been very solid over the last three weeks.

– Marshawn Lynch’s disappointing season continues. He left the game with a shoulder injury after rushing for 18 yards on eight carries. Look for Fred Jackson’s (13 touches, 55 yards) stock to rise with Lynch out.

– The Colts are usually stout against the pass, but Derrick Mason (9-142) took advantage of a couple of injuries en route to a big day.

– Pierre Garcon (6-108) had a big day for the Colts, but where was Austin Collie (1-15)?

– Mohamed Massaquoi (5-115-1) had his first good game in four weeks.

– Michael Crabtree (4-77-1) had a couple of nice catches against a pretty good Packer secondary.

– Calvin Johnson (7-161-1) destroyed the Browns’ secondary.

– Greg Jennings (5-126-1) had a nice game that included a terrific 64-yard catch and run.

– Welcome to the 2009 NFL season, Terrell Owens (9-197-1).

– Surprisingly, Mike Sims-Walker (8-91-1) had a very nice day against a pretty stingy Bills pass defense.

– With Dwayne Bowe out, Chris Chambers (4-119) was once again the main man in the Kansas City passing game.
