Week 5 Review:

Studs

Larry Fitzgerald: With Boldin out, Fitzgerlad took advantage of being the focal point of the passing game hauling in 7 balls and 2 scores.

Brandon Jacobs: Jacobs (and the rest of the Giants for that matter) ran through Seattle's D like it wasn't there Sunday. He had 136 yards and 2 scores on just 15 carries. Tough week for the Hasselbecks.

DeAngelo Williams: I wish Williams would figure out whether he sucks or not. It would make life easier on draft day. I'm pretty sure his 3 scores didn't help much owners on their bench.

Clinton Portis: Portis is kind of underrated when you think about it. He is as consistent a runner as their is in the league as he showed Sunday leading all rushers with 145 yards and his 4th td of the season.

Ronnie Brown: So Ronnie Brown is back thanks to the wing nut formation or whatever the hell its called. Seriously, how does that work? Dude went from 20 yards a game to 125 plus and touchdowns all over the place.

Michael Turner: Where do the Falcons get off being this good? Turner turned in another 100 plus with a score in Green Bay.

Kyle Orton: That's right. You read that exactly right. Kyle I'm rocking the neck beard Orton lit up the Lions to the tune of 334 and a couple of scores.

Steve Slaton: If you have running back issues, you may want to try and trade for Slaton. I think this is just the tip of the iceberg with him. He will be a fantasy monster in Houston's zone blocking scheme.

Duds:

Larry Johnson: Only LJ can bust out with 198 yards one week and then be absolutely garbage the next week. 7 carries, 2 yards. 0 fantasy points.

Ladainian Tomlinson: I'm not sure if LT is hitting the running back wall or if he is just banged up but either way he's terrible. We did not draft you # 1, LT, to have 30 something yards and 1 scores.

Chris Johnson/Lendale White: Johnson and White have been putting up points week in and week out but only had 48 yards combined against a touch Ravens D.

Brian Westbrook: I understand he scored but dude can you please stop getting hurt. He broke his freaking ribs. But the kick in nuts is not that he's hurt, it's that he'll say he wants to play and be a game time decision which will have people in front of their computers refreshing injury reports until 12:45 on Sunday.

Steady as he goes:
Tony Romo: Sure there are a lot of reasons to dislike Tony Romo. Plays for the Cowboys, dates Jessica Simpson, etc. But he is hard to dislike when he is carrying your fantasy team with 3 more td passes Sunday. Plus he's a jackass...



Should have started:
Deangelo Williams: People will rush to get him in the lineup this week and you know what will happen? Jonathan Stewart will scores 2 touchdowns while Williams get 9 carries for 37 yards.

Pick me up!
Kyle Orton: See above. The Bears have taken the training wheels off of little Kyle and he is starting to put up some numbers. I am in now way advocating starting him but he might be a nice bye week sub.
