Week 1 Studs and Duds
It was a great week to start…
Drew Brees – Blistered Detroit for 358 yards and 6, count ‘em, 6 TDs
Tony Romo – Career-high 353 yards and three scores
Joe Flacco – 307 passing yards, 3 TDs
Matt Hasselbeck – Overcame 2 early INTs to pass for 279 yards and 3 TDs
Adrian Peterson – No 1 pick? Yeah, I think so. His 180 yards rushing and 3 TDs, plus 18 receiving, put an explanation point on his fantasy supremacy
Thomas Jones – Busted loose for 107 yards and 2 TDs
Tim Hightower – Reeled in a dozen passes for 121 yards, and ran for 15
Santonio Holmes – 9 catches, 131 yards, 1 TD
Reggie Wayne – 10 receptions, 162 yards, 1 TD
Tony Gonzalez – 5 receptions, 73 yards and a score
John Carlson – 6 catches, 95 yards and 2 TDs
Jeremy Shockey – Scored twice while catching four balls for 31 yards
Eagles D/ST – DeSean Jackson scored on a punt return, while the defense turned in 5 sacks, 5 INTs and returned one of two fumble recoveries for a TD
It was a great week to play against…
All the Broncos (except Brandon Stokley)
All the Texans

Jake Delhomme – Benched after throwing 4 picks
Jay Cutler – Threw 4 INTs and just 1 TD, plus 277 yards
Aaron Rodgers – Nearly blanked till last drive gave him a TD and 184 yards
Willie Parker – 19 yards rushing, 5 receiving
Larry Johnson – 26 combined yards
Chris Johnson – 68 total yards, no scores
Ronnie Brown – 53 combined yards; Ricky Williams got the score
Michael Turner – Just 65 rushing yards
Felix Jones – Only 22 yards on the ground
Steven Jackson – Held to 67 rushing yards

Roddy White – 5 catches for just 42 yards
Steve Smith – 3 receptions, 21 yards
Torry Holt – 3 catches for just 47 yards

Chris Henry and Laveranues Coles – Just one reception each, for 18 and 11 yards, respectively
Anquan Boldin – 2 receptions for 19 yards on his gimpy hammy
Antonio Bryant – 2 catches for 29 yards
Braylon Edwards – One 12-yard catch, with a TD overturned by replay
Bernard Berrian – Turned in a goose egg
Santana Moss – Two catches amassed just 6 yards
Greg Olsen – Pulled in one 8-yard catch
I didn’t see that coming…
Willis McGahee – Scored rushing and receiving, adding 75 total yards
Patrick Crayton – 4 catches for 135 yards and a TD
It was a painful day for…
Donovan McNabb – Scored three times before being knocked out with a rib injury
Anthony Gonzalez – Will miss at least two weeks, probably more, after hurting knee
Hakeem Nicks – Sprained his foot in the fourth quarter

Thanks for the updates Ladd. I'm baffled by many of these stats. Mike Bell with over 140yds? You definitely gave everyone a headsup with that but, I was still surprised. Keep up the great work sir
ReplyDeleteI have the Chicago D. Now that Urlacker appears to be out for the season due to the injury last night, I'm wondering how much this will affect the D for the rest of season. I thinking about dropping them and picking up the GB D off of my league's waiver as they looked very impressive last night.
