The NFL is a league that demands equality in many aspects of football. Take Detroit and Buffalo for example. Both are resurgent teams that have been terrible for the last decade.
Some teams that are on their way down though, did not show an inkling of equality last week by getting completely blown out. The teams on the winning end of the bargain made some fantasy owners quite ecstatic.
Chris Johnson went from “every coaches dream,” to being drunk during game time on Jim Beam the way he is playing this season. A mere 18 yards to 10 carries makes owners want to drop this guy.
As for the Texans dual-threat running back tandem, Arian Foster and Ben Tate did nothing but produce rushing for a combined 219 yards and two touchdowns. Matt Schaub had a Rogers-esque type of game throwing for 296 and finding the end zone twice in the Texans 41-7 win.
In Kansas City’s 28-0 blowout over the Oakland Raiders, both Raider quarterbacks threw a measly six interceptions together to aid the Chief’s victory. Looks like Carson Palmer did not immediately pann out for the first round pick they traded to get him. The Chiefs’ defense had a field day returning two of the six interceptions to the house.
It is tough to figure out which team is worse: the Dolphins or Colts. After a 62-7 debacle by the Colts to the Saints, I have to say, Indy has a slight lead for the worst team in the league. Drew Brees had the game of his career throwing for 325 yards and five touchdowns.
Mark Ingram and Darren Sproles both nearly had 100 yards each as well. Marques Colston caught two touchdowns to go with his 98 yards receiving.
The Trash Bin
Rex Grossman (Washington Redskins)- You might as well drop him after he threw four interceptions two weeks ago and lost the starting job to John Beck. Beck threw for almost 300 yards last week against Carolina. Looks like Grossman’s staring job was a short lived one. Sexy Rexy.
Austin Collie (Indianapolis Colts)- No Peyton Manning means no pie for Collie who has not produced throughout the season. Collie is not going to improve any time soon, so save your self the trouble and time by dropping him.
David Nelson (Buffalo Bills)- Consistency is an issue with Nelson as of late. He had a couple of good games while the Bills were unstoppable. The Bills have landed back on Earth and Nelson has as well. Half Nelson.
Under the Cruzar
Antonio Brown (Pittsburg Steelers)- Another receiver has finally made an appearance as of late in Pitt. Brown came up with a big 102-yard game last week and most likely will be Big Ben’s number two target for the rest of the season. What can Brown do for you?
Christian Ponder (Minnesota Vikings)- With over 200 yards and two touchdowns last week, Ponder is showing us things Donovan McNabb has failed to show us. Pick him up as a backup if possible. He might be a viable option with your quarterback on a bye week. Purple Pride.
DeMarco Murray (Dallas Cowboys)- The young guy broke a Cowboy’s record previously held by the great Emmit Smith last Sunday. With him and Felix Jones running together, Murray is going to get plenty of looks in an offense that likes to run the football. Murray is worth the free agent pickup. Scurry Murray.
Chastising Chad
Chad Ochocinco had a bye this week. I will get back to him next week. Hopefully he has seen footage on how terrible he has been and can keep it going.
