He delivered 129 yards on 24 carries with two touchdowns and caught five balls for 57 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Other Studs:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Donovan McNabb \u2013\u00a0Washington Redskins \u2013 <\/strong>426 yards passing and a touchdown in a losing effort. Still, McNabb was in command all game long and was certainly not the reason that Washington lost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kyle Orton \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong>Orton has been great for two weeks in a row. This week, he did what Alex Smith couldn`t do \u2013 shred the Seahawks for 307 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philip Rivers &#8211; San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong>334 yards, three touchdowns and unfortunately two interceptions still has Rivers in the Stud column. As long as Gates is in the game, Rivers has a chance to be here every week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honourable Mention: <\/strong>Jay Cutler \u2013 Chicago Bears, Tony Romo \u2013 Dallas Cowboys<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Adrian Peterson \u2013\u00a0Minnesota Vikings \u2013 <\/strong>28 carries for 145 yards and six catches for 41 yards on a day that the Vikings only scored ten points. He is carrying his team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jahvid Best \u2013\u00a0Detroit Lions \u2013 <\/strong> After a dud last week, Best was a Stud this week. 17 carries, 78 yards and two touchdowns with nine catches for 154 yards and a touchdown is a terrific showing for the rookie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LeSean McCoy \u2013\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles \u2013 <\/strong>30 carries for 145 yards in Week 2 put to rest the notion that McCoy is not ready for prime time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honourable Mention:<\/strong> Darren McFadden \u2013 Oakland Raiders<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Andre Johnson \u2013\u00a0Houston Texans<\/strong> \u2013 12 catches for 158 yards and a touchdown almost had him as Stud of the Week. He is quite a player isn`t he<\/p>\n<p><strong>Miles Austin \u2013\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>DeSean Jackson \u2013\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Honourable Mention:<\/strong> Kevin Walter \u2013 Houston Texans, Dustin Keller \u2013 NY Jets, Mike Sims-Walker \u2013 Jacksonville Jaguars, Reggie Wayne \u2013 Indianapolis Colts?<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Duds of the Week:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Chris Johnson \u2013\u00a0Tennessee Titans \u2013 <\/strong> His string of 12 straight 100+ yard rushing games in a row came crashing to a halt. 34 yards rushing and 19 yards receiving is truly disappointing for the consensus #1 Fantasy pick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Devin Aroshamadu \u2013\u00a0Chicago Bears \u2013 <\/strong>Zero, Zilch, Nada \u2013 after a promising week, many started you this week \u2013 BRUTAL!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oddsmaker.com\/refer.php?ID=capperspicks\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><\/strong><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.referincome.com\/graphics\/banners\/om\/nfl_5million_fantasy_300x250.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Other Duds:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brett Favre \u2013\u00a0Minnesota Vikings \u2013<\/strong> Three interceptions and a fumble, all seemingly at critical times in the game make Favre a total Dud. The Vikes are 0-2, thanks largely to Mr. Favre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joe Flacco \u2013\u00a0Baltimore Ravens \u2013 <\/strong> In an important divisional game, Flacco went 19 for 39 for 154 yards, one touchdown and four huge interceptions \u2013 Ungood!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carson Palmer \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals <\/strong>\u2013 Palmer has two premier weapons to throw to. On Sunday, he delivered 167 yards on 16 of 35 passing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honourable Mention: <\/strong>Trent Edwards \u2013 Buffalo Bills, Eli Manning \u2013 NY Giants<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Maurice Jones-Drew \u2013\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars \u2013 <\/strong>Ugh! MJD was nearly Dud of the Week! 12 carries for 31 yards and one catch for 17 yards speak for itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cowboys RBs \u2013 <\/strong>This team is in trouble and until they get some consistency they will continue to struggle. Three running backs combined for 19 rushes for 36 yards in Week 2 \u2013 awful!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Patriots RBs \u2013 <\/strong>The Pats RBs were nearly as bad. I know the Jets are a good defense but 20 carries for 53 yards is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Greg Jennings \u2013\u00a0Green Bay Packers \u2013 <\/strong>Green Bay scored 34 points and played without<strong> <\/strong>Ryan Grant. Jennings must have been huge right? Wrong \u2013 three catches for 33 yards was all he could muster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anquan Boldin \u2013\u00a0Baltimore Ravens \u2013 <\/strong>Last week, Boldin had a good game against Darrelle Revis. This week against Cincinnati, Boldin had five catches for 35 yards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chad Ochocinco \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals \u2013 <\/strong>Four catches for 44 yards after creating huge expectations last week. He wasn\u2019t able to exploit the banged up Baltimore secondary.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Week 2 NFL Top Performers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Jahvid Best (Det &#8211; RB) &#8212;\t78 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TD<br \/>\nJason Snelling (Atl &#8211; RB) &#8212;\t129 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TD<br \/>\nMatt Schaub (Hou &#8211; QB) &#8212;\t\t497 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TD<br \/>\nLeSean McCoy (Phi &#8211; RB) &#8212;\t\t120 Rush Yds, 3 Rush TD<br \/>\nPittsburgh (Pit &#8211; DEF)\t &#8212;\t11 Pts Allow, 4 Sack<br \/>\nAaron Rodgers (GB &#8211; QB) &#8212;\t255 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TD<br \/>\nAdrian Peterson (Min &#8211; RB) &#8212;\t145 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD<br \/>\nJay Cutler (Chi &#8211; QB) &#8212;\t\t277 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TD<br \/>\nPhilip Rivers (SD &#8211; QB)\t &#8211;334 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TD<br \/>\nMichael Vick (Phi &#8211; QB)\t &#8212;\t284 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TD<br \/>\nMark Sanchez (NYJ &#8211; QB)\t &#8211;220 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TD<br \/>\nShaun Hill (Det &#8211; QB) &#8212;\t335 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TD<br \/>\nPeyton Manning (Ind &#8211; QB) &#8212;\t255 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TD<br \/>\nAndre Johnson (Hou &#8211; WR) &#8212;\t\t158 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD<br \/>\nMike Tolbert (SD &#8211; RB) &#8212;\t82 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TD<br \/>\nDonovan McNabb (Was &#8211; QB)\t &#8212;\t426 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD<br \/>\nMiami (Mia &#8211; DEF)\t &#8212; 10 Pts Allow, 3 Sack<br \/>\nKevin Walter (Hou &#8211; WR)\t &#8212;\t144 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD<br \/>\nDeSean Jackson (Phi &#8211; WR)\t &#8212;\t5 Rush Yds, 135 Rec Yds<br \/>\nKyle Orton (Den &#8211; QB)\t &#8212; 307 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TD\t<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quick look back at week 2 fantasy football STUDS and Duds&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":26156,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[299,2349,66494,1540,1538,2348,1539,18370,1537,1536,2346,1535,2347,1337,34730],"class_list":["post-26700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy-football","tag-cheatsheets","tag-fantasy-duds","tag-fantasy-football","tag-fantasy-football-news","tag-fantasy-stats","tag-fantasy-studs","tag-player-point-totals","tag-player-statistics","tag-projections","tag-start-bench-list","tag-studs-duds","tag-studs-and-duds","tag-studsduds","tag-week-2","tag-week-2-fantasy-stats"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26700"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26700\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26983,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26700\/revisions\/26983"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
