Unfortunately for the Week 5 Duds, they are also forever immortalized.<\/p>\n<p>Interesting to note that all three quarterback Studs and all three receiving Studs lost their games this weekend. Enjoy Dave B\u2019s Week 5 Studs and Duds and be sure to leave a comment.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Studs of the Week:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Matt Forte \u2013\u00a0Chicago Bears \u2013 <\/strong> I can\u2019t believe it! Matt Forte \u2013 Stud of the Week. It\u2019s true though. 22 Carries for 166 and two huge touchdowns with another 22 yards receiving is definitely deserved of the honour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hakeem Nicks &#8211; NY Giants \u2013 <\/strong>If you own Nick, congratulations. He is and will be a huge part of the Giants going forward. Eli Manning loves him and so do we. He had 12 catches, 130 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday \u2013 truly dominant!<\/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>Philip Rivers \u2013\u00a0San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong> Rivers had an enormous afternoon &#8230;again. 431 yards passing and two touchdowns on the way to another stunning loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tony Romo \u2013\u00a0Dallas Cowboys \u2013 <\/strong>Another 400+ yards performance that came up short. Romo threw three touchdowns as well but his three interceptions turned out to be the difference in the game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kyle Orton \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong>Kyle Orton just doesn\u2019t slow down. Orton threw for 314 yards and another two interceptions on Sunday. Solid, consistent and Fantasy Gold = Stud.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ray Rice \u2013\u00a0Baltimore Ravens \u2013 <\/strong> Ray Rice was a beast for the Ravens on Sunday. He rumbled for 133 yards and two touchdowns and added four catches for 26 yards. Rice stepped up and was the reason that his team beat the Broncos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Johnson \u2013\u00a0Tennessee Titans \u2013 <\/strong> Welcome back Mr. Johnson \u2013 we\u2019ve missed you. Johnson had 131 yards and two huge touchdowns to help the Titans upset the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Turner \u2013\u00a0Atlanta Falcons \u2013 <\/strong>Turner allowed his team to grind out a victory against Cleveland. Turner gained 140 yards on Sunday. A touchdown would have been nice but the way you played is definitely Studworthy. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brandon Lloyd \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong> He is the \u201cWaiver Wire Find of the Year\u201d so far \u2013 hands down. 135 more yards receiving and another two touchdowns on Sunday \u2013 Stud.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Malcolm Floyd \u2013\u00a0San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong> Floyd hasn\u2019t had that breakout game this season but that has changed. He had 213 yards receiving and a touchdown in a loss to the Oakland Raiders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Miles Austin \u2013\u00a0Dallas Cowboys \u2013 <\/strong>Austin was on yet another Stud on a losing team. 166 yards on nine catches and a touchdown make him worthy of the Stud list.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Duds of the Week:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Arian Foster \u2013\u00a0Houston Texans \u2013 <\/strong> He was a consensus Top 10 play this week and all he could muster was 25 yards rushing and two yards receiving.

Schaub had 196 yards passing, no touchdowns and one interception \u2013 not acceptable!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peyton Manning \u2013\u00a0Indianapolis Colts \u2013 <\/strong>Sorry Peyton but when you don\u2019t deliver the goods, you make the Duds list. Even though you passed for 244 yards, you didn\u2019t throw a touchdown. I\u2019m maybe a tad hard on you but in my books, you delivered a Dud.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bears QBs \u2013 <\/strong>Not much was expected but 51 yards passing? Todd Collins and Chris Hainie \u2013 you suck!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>DeAngelo Williams \u2013\u00a0Carolina Panthers \u2013 <\/strong> Williams is the best player on the Panthers roster &#8211; bar none! That\u2019s why 51 yards rushing is a Dud performance. With continued Duds, the Panthers will remain winless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beanie Wells \u2013\u00a0Arizona Cardinals \u2013 <\/strong>Wells is healthy again and it really looked as if he was going to finally break out this week. He got 20 touches, but only gained 35 yards with those opportunities \u2013 Dud.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Broncos RBs \u2013 Again \u2013 <\/strong>not much was expected but 39 yards rushing? BRING BACK TERRELL DAVIS!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Greg Jennings &#8211; Green Bay Packers \u2013 <\/strong>Jennings keeps sneaking into most people\u2019s Top 10 plays.

I own him in my Fantasy league and his Dud-dom is killing me.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chad Ochocinco \u2013 Cincinnati Bengals \u2013 <\/strong>The Ocho Meltdown Countdown is officially on.
