Week 4 is almost in the books and unfortunately, it was easier to come up with Duds than it was Studs. Still, there were some outstanding efforts in the NFL this weekend and Dave B honours them with his Studs and Duds list.<\/p>\n

Enjoy, and a special shout out to Josh Scobee for his 59 yard field goal with no time left to defeat the Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n

Studs of the Week:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Terrell Owens \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals \u2013 <\/strong> Owens absolutely ripped it up this week with 10 catches, 222 yards and a touchdown. To be honest, I didn\u2019t think that we\u2019d see TO here ever again \u2013 Bravo Terrell! Now go do some sit-ups in your driveway!<\/p>\n

LaDainian Tomlinson \u2013\u00a0NY Jets \u2013 <\/strong>Another aging star that looks reborn! Tomlinson had 155 combined yards and two touchdowns in the Jets romp over Buffalo. He was quick, decisive and he made the most of every one of his 22 touches!<\/p>\n

Other Studs:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Carson Palmer \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals \u2013 <\/strong> Where did this performance come from? Most, including me wrote him off. But with 371 yards passing and two touchdowns, Palmer proved that he is indeed alive and can occasionally put up a Stud performance.<\/p>\n

Kyle Orton \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong> Another 300+ yard passing game has Orton on the Stud list again! He has guided his team all season and has kept the Broncos in every game despite the utter lack of a running game.<\/p>\n

Peyton Manning \u2013\u00a0Indianapolis Colts \u2013 <\/strong>Manning threw his first interception of the season against Jacksonville, but the fantasy Football world will certainly take the 352 yards passing and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Arian Foster \u2013\u00a0Houston Texans \u2013 <\/strong> Foster had 187 combined yards and two touchdowns \u2013 AND HE WAS BENCHED FOR THE ENTIRE FIRST QUARTER\u00a0! He is a force and is still the NFL rushing leader \u2013 Stud!<\/p>\n

Maurice Jones-Drew \u2013\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars \u2013 <\/strong>MJD had a bad hammy and was questionable going into Sunday\u2019s game. 105 yards rushing and a touchdown with 16 yards receiving and a touchdown prove that you can\u2019t keep a good man from being a Stud!<\/p>\n

Rashard Mendenhall \u2013\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong> \u2013 He is about all that the Steelers have had on offense through the first three weeks of the season. 79 yards and two more touchdowns keep Mendenhall on the Stud list.<\/p>\n

Honourable Mention: <\/strong>Ahmad Bradshaw \u2013 New York Giants<\/p>\n

WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reggie Wayne – Indianapolis Colts \u2013 <\/strong>What can\u2019t this guy do? On Sunday, Wayne hauled in 15 passes for 196 yards. He\u2019s a beauty and worthy of the Stud list!<\/p>\n

Calvin Johnson \u2013\u00a0Detroit Lions \u2013 <\/strong>Megatron had six catches, 86 yards and two touchdowns against one of the top defences in the NFL! Stud! <\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Antonio Gates \u2013\u00a0San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong>Gates has been insane all season and in Week 4 he had seven catches, 144 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Honourable Mention:<\/strong> Zach Miller \u2013 Oakland Raiders<\/p>\n

Duds of the Week:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Chris Johnson \u2013\u00a0Tennessee Titans \u2013 <\/strong> 64 combined yards would be decent numbers for some but for CJ2, it is totally unacceptable, especially against a very soft Denver defense.<\/p>\n

Santana Moss – Washington Redskins \u2013 <\/strong>Was he even on the field in Week 4? Zero catches for a guy that most has ranked in the Top 20 this week – Dud!<\/p>\n

Other Duds:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Alex Smith \u2013\u00a0San Francisco 49ers \u2013 <\/strong> Smith had to be looking forward to facing the very beatable Falcons secondary this week. 188 yards passing, one touchdown and two interceptions is further proof that the Niners are in for a long season.<\/p>\n

Matt Hasselbeck \u2013\u00a0Seattle Seahawks \u2013 <\/strong>Hasselbeck led his team to three points this week against one of the worst defences in the league. 191 yards and an interception against St. Louis is a Dud performance.<\/p>\n

Donovan McNabb \u2013\u00a0Washington Redskins \u2013 <\/strong> McNabb got the win but it wasn\u2019t his stellar play that did it. Just 125 yards passing, on touchdown and an interception has McNabb rightfully on the Dud list.<\/p>\n

Honourable Mention: <\/strong>Derek Anderson \u2013 Arizona Cardinals, <\/strong>Eli Manning \u2013 New York Giants <\/strong><\/p>\n

RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Broncos RBs \u2013 <\/strong>WOW!! This is not a misprint! The duo of Laurence Maroney and Correll Buckhalter rushed the ball 17 times for eight combined yards!<\/p>\n

Cedric Benson \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals <\/strong>\u2013 Cedric Benson was poised to be huge on Sunday against the woeful Cleveland Browns. 60 yards on 15 carries is a total Dud!<\/p>\n

Packers RBs – <\/strong>Another committee that had the benefit of facing a soft defense that didn\u2019t deliver! 18 carries for 72 yards has Packers fans longing for Ryan Grant.<\/p>\n

Honourable mention:<\/strong> Michael Turner \u2013 Atlanta Falcons, Bills RBs, Matt Forte \u2013 Chicago Bears<\/p>\n

WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Steve Smith \u2013 Carolina Panthers \u2013 <\/strong>An ankle injury took him out of the game early. Still, two catches on the day and it appears as though Jimmy Claussen isn\u2019t even looking his way.<\/p>\n

Hines Ward \u2013\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers \u2013 <\/strong> It\u2019s a good thing that Big Ben\u2019s suspension is officially over. Two catches for 13 yards = Dud!!<\/p>\n

Marques Colston \u2013\u00a0New Orleans Saints \u2013 <\/strong> Colston is the most talented receiver on the Saints and yet he is looking like the third option. Four catches for 36 yards is not good for a 2nd<\/sup> or 3rd<\/sup> round Fantasy draft choice!<\/p>\n

Honorable Mention:<\/strong> DeSean Jackson \u2013 Philadelphia Eagles, Steve Smith \u2013 New York Giants<\/p>\n
