| 11/23/2009 | Adrian Peterson, RB (Min) | Peterson rushed for 82 yards in Minnesota's 35-9 win over Seattle on Sunday. Analysis: Peterson was held out of the end zone after scoring four times in his previous three games. |
| 11/23/2009 | Brett Favre, QB (Min) | Favre completed a career-high 88 percent of his passes for 213 yards and four touchdowns, and Minnesota delivered its most complete performance of the season in a 35-9 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Analysis: Favre surpassed Dan Marino for another NFL record in his 22nd career game with at least four touchdown passes. He has 21 touchdowns and only three interceptions while leading the Vikings a 9-1 start, right on the heels of New Orleans (10-0) for the top seed in the NFC. |
| 11/23/2009 | Matt Hasselbeck, QB (Sea) | Hasselbeck was 19 of 26 for 231 yards and one interception in Seattle's 35-9 loss to Minnesota on Sunday. Analysis: Hasselbeck has been picked off our times in his last three games, with the Seahawks losing the last two. "It's new territory for most of us," Hasselbeck said. "We've never had a season like this. It's a tough thing and a test." |
| 11/23/2009 | Hines Ward, WR (Pit) | Ward had 10 catches fro 128 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown, in Pittsburgh's 27-24 overtime loss to Kansas City on Sunday. Analysis: Ward bounced back after being held to 12 catches for 71 yards in his previous three games. |
| 11/23/2009 | Jamaal Charles, RB (KC) | Charles' 97-yard return of the opening kickoff helped Kansas City upset Pittsburgh 27-24 in overtime Sunday. Analysis: Charles, who got the Chiefs' first rushing touchdown of the year the week before, got their first kickoff return for a TD in four years. He also caught a TD pass. Charles' fantasy value is rising with Larry Johnson now with Cincinnati. |
| 11/23/2009 | Matt Cassel, QB (KC) | Cassel had a horrendous first half against Pittsburgh on Sunday, passing for only 35 yards on four completions. But he came through in the final two quarters and overtime, finishing with 248 yards and two touchdowns to help lead Kansas City to a 27-24 win. Analysis: Cassel has four touchdowns and one interception in his last three games. |
| 11/23/2009 | Ben Roethlisberger, QB (Pit) | Roethlisberger has a concussion, but is expected to play at Baltimore as long as he continues to pass the daily tests given to players who have sustained the injury. Analysis: Coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that he plans to go into Sunday's game with Roethlisberger and second-year player Dennis Dixon as his only quarterbacks. A third, inexperienced quarterback will be signed, but Tomlin said he won't be ready to play. Backup quarterback Charlie Batch broke his left wrist during the 27-24 loss in Kansas City on Sunday and will have surgery on Wednesday. |
| 11/23/2009 | Peyton Manning, QB (Ind) | Manning fell short of another virtuoso performance on Sunday in a 17-15 win at Baltimore. He went 22 for 31 for 299 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Analysis: Manning had 107 yards passing in the second half and had fewer TDs than INTs for the first time this season. |
| 11/23/2009 | Pierre Garcon, WR (Ind) | Garcon had six catches for a career-high 108 yards Sunday in a 17-15 win at Baltimore. Analysis: Garcon has emerged this season for the Colts and should be productive for many years to come as long as Peyton Manning is with Indianapolis. |
| 11/23/2009 | Reggie Wayne, WR (Ind) | Wayne had seven catches for 89 yards Sunday in a 17-15 win at Baltimore. Analysis: It was a solid effort for Wayne, although he didn't score. He's still got 8 TDs this year and is one of the best in the NFL. |
| 11/23/2009 | Dallas Clark, TE (Ind) | Clark had one catch for a 3-yard TD Sunday in a 17-15 win at Baltimore. Analysis: Fellow tight end Tom Santi had six catches and fantasy owners should monitor the situation to see if Peyton Manning prefers Santi to Clark. |
| 11/23/2009 | Joseph Addai, RB (Ind) | Addai ran 19 times for 74 yards and a TD Sunday in a 17-15 win at Baltimore. Analysis: Addai won't put up many big numbers for the Peyton Manning-led Colts, but he put a great move to leave Ravens LB Ray Lewis in his tracks on his 5-yard TD run in the second quarter. Addai has rewarded fantasy owners with seven scores on the ground. |
| 11/23/2009 | Joe Flacco, QB (Bal) | Flacco went 23 for 35 for 256 yards Sunday in a 17-15 loss to the Colts. Analysis: Flacco could not produce a touchdown drive and threw a key interception late in the game. "I made a dumb play and threw an interception in a tight situation," Flacco said. |
| 11/23/2009 | Derrick Mason, WR (Bal) | Mason had nine catches for 142 yards Sunday in a 17-15 loss to the Colts. Analysis: Mason turned in the best game of his season Sunday. Fantasy owners should be aware that Mason had 201 yards over the three meetings last season against the Steelers, the next opponent for Baltimore. |
| 11/23/2009 | Ray Rice, RB (Bal) | Rice rushed 20 times for 71 yards Sunday and had seven receptions for 64 yards in a 17-15 loss to the Colts. Analysis: Rice had his run of four straight games with a rushing TD snapped. He will try to bounce back next week against Pittsburgh in a rematch of last season's AFC championship. |
| 11/23/2009 | Aaron Rodgers, QB (GB) | Rodgers was 32 of 45 for 344 yards, including 274 in the first half in the Packers' 30-24 win over the 49ers on Sunday. Analysis: Rodgers continues to be more than adequate in filling Brett Favre's shoes. He has 19 TDs and 5 INTs and handles himself well in the process. Fantasy owners and Packers fans should be pleased to have Rodgers as their quarterback. |
| 11/23/2009 | Ryan Grant, RB (GB) | Grant ran for 129 yards on 21 carries in the Packers' 30-24 win over the 49ers on Sunday. Analysis: Grant has 5 rushing TDs this season, and that's not nearly enough to please most fantasy owners. Grant needs to find the end zone more. |
| 11/23/2009 | Greg Jennings, WR (GB) | Jennings had 5 catches for 126 yards and a TD Sunday in a 30-24 win over the 49ers. Analysis: Jennings has three 100-yard efforts this season after his first since Sept. 27. |
| 11/23/2009 | Alex Smith, QB (SF) | Smith finished 16 of 33 for 227 yards and three TDs Sunday in a 30-24 loss at Green Bay. Analysis: Smith has nine TDs and seven INTs this season, and is still too risky to trust in a key fantasy spot down the stretch with playoffs looming in most leagues. |
| 11/23/2009 | Michael Crabtree, WR (SF) | Crabtree had four catches for 77 yards and his first career TD on Sunday in a 30-24 loss at Green Bay. Analysis: Crabtree is proving he is the best rookie receiver, particularly with Darrius Heyward-Bey struggling across the bay in Oakland. NFL experts like Peter King criticized Crabtree for his holdout, but the Texas Tech product looks like he is having the last laugh. |
