Owen Daniels (4-70) is proving his worth in PPR leagues…Chris Cooley (5-57) is an important part of the Redskins’ offense and should be started on a weekly basis…Marcedes Lewis (3-64-1) is working his way into the Jags offense and seems to be getting 4-5 targets a game lately…Jason Witten (4-55) had his first sub-double digit game in PPR leagues…Vernon Davis (6-75) finally had a good game for the 49ers, which was a surprise because conventional wisdom said that they’d keep him at the line to block the Eagles’ blitzing defense.

Lance Moore continues to thrive with Marques Colston out and I think he’ll still be roster worthy when Colston returns next week…If Ryan Fitzpatrick continues to start for Cincy, it’s okay to bench Housh and Ocho Cinco…Roddy White (9-112-1) is turning into a stud right before our eyes…Andre Johnson (10-178-1) has re-entered must-start territory…Marvin Harrison (3-83-2) rewarded loyal fantasy owners with a nice game against a good defense…Bernard Berrian (5-131-1) continues to thrive with Gus Frerotte under center. He’s in WR2/WR3 territory and should be started against mediocre or bad defenses…Torry Holt (5-23) didn’t have as good of a game as I expected, but the Rams looked a lot better as a whole…Santana Moss had a goose egg last week and went just 2-22 this week. He’s losing that consistency that made him great earlier in the season…Patrick Crayton (3-84-1) should be rostered. After a rough start, he has played pretty well over the last three weeks…None of the Seattle wideouts look like decent starts with Matt Hasselbeck out…Vincent Jackson (5-134-1) is a starter worthy wideout with Chris Chambers out of the lineup.

It’s clear that RB2 duties in New Orleans belong to Deuce McAllister (15 touches, 72 yards). Pierre Thomas saw just three carries (for 18 yards)…The Raiders split touches between Justin Fargas (10 touches, 35 yards) and Darren McFadden (8 touches, 30 yards). Michael Bush saw just four touches (for 13 yards). This appears to be the plan when all three backs are (reasonably) healthy…Thomas Jones (20 touches, 78 yards, 3 TD) finally had a big game, but it’s doubtful that too many fantasy owners were starting him. I like Jones, but the Jets love to throw at the goal line…Chris Perry (13 carries, 14 yards) is playing dreadful football. He failed to score from inside the three yard line and dropped an easy catch…For a guy who’s averaging 5.6 yards a carry, Earnest Graham (5 carries, 11 yards, TD) sure doesn’t get a lot of work. The Bucs were running him at fullback for most of the game…Michael Turner (25 carries, 54 yards) put in another disappointing performance against a good defense. At least he’s predictable…The Baltimore running game was a huge disappointment against a bad Colts rush defense. Willis McGahee got knocked out of the game and his backup, LeRon McClain, only managed three carries (and fumbled once)…Maurice Jones-Drew (24 touches, 148 yards, 2 TD) capitalized on a Fred Taylor injury to post some big numbers. That’s just a glimpse of what he’ll do once Taylor finally retires…Correll Buckhalter (25 touches, 178 yards, TD) looked like Brian Westbrook, Jr…Ryan Grant (33 carries, 90 yards) looked a little better, but still failed to break off any big runs. The holes just aren’t there at the point of attack.

Matt Ryan (301 yards, TD) looks like the real deal. It’s rare for rookie QBs to have this kind of success, and when they do, it’s a great sign for things to come…Marc Bulger (136 yards, 0 TD) didn’t shine in his first start since being benched two weeks ago. He’s just backup fodder at this point…David Garrard (276 yards, TD) is looking much better over the last three games and is working his way back into fantasy starter territory…Aaron Rodgers (208 yards, 2 pass TD, rush TD) continues to put up good fantasy numbers. Despite the sore shoulder, he threw a strike downfield to Greg Jennings for a TD…Phillip Rivers (306 yards, 3 TD) threw for three TD for the fourth time in six games this season and has developed into an every week starter…Matt Cassel (203 yards, INT) hasn’t thrown more than one TD in any game this season.
