There were some standout performances this week and as always there were some seriously substandard ones. <\/p>\n
Below is a breakdown of all of the stars and all of the flops for Week 9 in Dave B\u2019s Week 9 version of the Studs and Duds list.<\/p>\n
Studs of the Week:<\/h3>\n
Aaron Rodgers \u2013 Green Bay Packers \u2013<\/strong> Insane! This dude should just change his name \u2013 Stud Rodgers doesn\u2019t sound so bad! On Sunday, Aaron completed an incredible 21 of 26 passes for 274 yards and four touchdowns. He also added a terrific 52 yards on the ground in an uber-impressive performance against the Chargers.<\/p>\nVincent Jackson \u2013 San Diego Chargers \u2013<\/strong> Jackson finally had a decent game after three underwhelming weeks. He had 7 catches for 141 yards and three touchdowns (two in the fourth quarter) to help his team almost come back against the Packers. Jackson is finally a Stud!<\/p>\nOther Studs:<\/strong><\/p>\nQBs<\/strong><\/p>\nMatt Moore \u2013 Miami Dolphins \u2013<\/strong> that\u2019s right, Moore was a Stud this week! Moore led the Dolphins to their first win of the season against a good Kansas City team. Moore completed an incredible 17 of 23 passes for 244 yards and three touchdowns on the afternoon.<\/p>\nMatt Ryan \u2013 Atlanta Falcons \u2013<\/strong> Matty Ice threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday in an easy win over Indianapolis. Ryan was a Stud on Sunday \u2013 a good sign going forward for the Falcons.<\/p>\nTim Tebow \u2013 Denver Broncos \u2013<\/strong> I know, I don\u2019t like him that much either! But Tebow had an astounding 117 yards rushing on Sunday which is impressive enough. He added 124 yards passing and two touchdowns in a win over heated rivals \u2013 the Raiders. His passing numbers are bad but his rushing numbers make him a Week 9 Stud!<\/p>\nHonourable Mention:<\/strong> Philip Rivers, Andy Dalton, Tony Romo<\/p>\nRBs<\/p>\n
Willis McGahee \u2013 Denver Broncos \u2013<\/strong> Welcome back to the lineup Willis! On Sunday McGahee ripped the Raiders defense for 163 yards and two touchdowns. It was nearly worthy of Stud of the Week honours but not quite!<\/p>\nArian Foster \u2013 Houston Texans \u2013<\/strong> Surprise! Foster had another 150 combined yards on Sunday \u2013 124 rushing and 26 receiving. He added a score to claim his spot on the Stud list.<\/p>\nMarshawn Lynch \u2013 Seattle Seahawks \u2013<\/strong> Seriously? Seriously! Lynch rumbled for 135 yards and a touchdown against a tough Dallas run D. Lynch gets the nod as the most improbable Stud of the week!<\/p>\nHonourable Mention:<\/strong> DeMarco Murray, Ben Tate, Steven Jackson, Michael Bush, Reggie Bush<\/p>\nWRs<\/strong><\/p>\nBrandon Marshall \u2013 Miami Dolphins \u2013<\/strong> Marshall had eight catches for 106 yards and a touchdown on Sunday to help his team to its first win. Marshall should be a Stud every week but makes a rare appearance on the list. [ad-8469823]<\/p>\nJulio Jones \u2013 Atlanta Falcons \u2013<\/strong> Jones has missed a few weeks but he returned this week and made the absolute most of the few touches he had. Jones caught only three balls but parlayed them into 131 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\nWes Welker \u2013 New England Patriots \u2013<\/strong> Welcome back to the Stud list Wes! On Sunday, Welker was dominant once again in a 9 catch, 136 yards effort against the Giants. Too bad his hard work didn\u2019t result in a win!<\/p>\nHonourable Mention:<\/strong> Rob Gronkowski<\/p>\nDuds of the Week:<\/h3>\n
Matt Schaub \u2013 Houston Texans –<\/strong> \u00a0Schaub continues to disappoint Fantasy owners. On Sunday in a game that his team scored 30 points, Schaub threw for just 119 yards, ZERO touchdowns and one interception. C\u2019mon Matt, you are killing us!<\/p>\nBeanie Wells \u2013 Arizona Cardinals \u2013<\/strong> Ugly, ugly game for Wells. He had 10 carries for 20 yards on the afternoon. Wells delivered a Dud with a thud!<\/p>\nOther Duds:<\/strong><\/p>\nQBs<\/strong><\/p>\nMatt Cassel \u2013 KC Chiefs \u2013<\/strong> Cassel was a waiver wire pick-up this week and a sleeper in most people\u2019s eyes. Cassel managed decent yardage (253) but he failed to throw a touchdown in a very winnable game for the Chiefs \u2013 Dud!<\/p>\nSam Bradford \u2013 St. Louis Rams \u2013<\/strong> After sitting out a couple of weeks with an ankle injury, common belief was that the Arizona Cardinals brutal defense would welcome Bradford back with open arms. Instead, they made it difficult \u2013 just 255 yards, ZERO touchdowns and one interception on the afternoon.<\/p>\nRBs<\/strong><\/p>\nWith great pleasure I announce that there were no other RB Duds to speak of this week. Rashard Mendenhall barely saved himself with a touchdown on Sunday night. Great week Running Backs!<\/p>\n
WRs<\/strong><\/p>\nChad Ochocinco \u2013 New England Patriots \u2013<\/strong> If you watched the game, you would have seen how out of sync that Chad is with Tom Brady. He was targeted five times and didn\u2019t even come close to catching one ball. Ocho is a complete and total Dud this season \u2013 he is not just a one-week Dud!<\/p>\nJacoby Jones Houston Texans \u2013<\/strong> Like Schaub, it hard to believe that in a game that your team scored 30, there were no passing numbers to speak of. 2 catches for 28 yards on Sunday was another in a long line of Duds for Jones!<\/p>\nJon Baldwin \u2013 KC Chiefs –<\/strong> How many of you picked him up and started him based on Monday night\u2019s performance? 1 catch for 12 yards had you screaming at your TV!<\/p>\n
