Others had to step up to occupy the Studs list and thankfully they did. Unfortunately, there was a share of Duds this week as well.<\/p>\n
I hope that you see some of yours on the Studs list this week and here\u2019s hoping that nobody from your Fantasy squad was a Dud!<\/p>\n
Studs of the Week:<\/h3>\n
Matthew Stafford \u2013 Detroit Lions \u2013<\/strong> Stafford lit up the Carolina Panthers this week \u2013 nice to see him back to Stud status! Stafford completed 28 of 36 passes for 335 yards and five touchdowns. We\u2019ll excuse the two interceptions for this Week 11 Stud of the Week.<\/p>\nKevin Smith \u2013 Detroit Lions \u2013<\/strong> Where did this come from? Smith had three total touchdowns on Sunday \u2013 2 rushing and 1 receiving. Dude had 201 combined yards on the day and is unquestionable worthy of Stud of the Week honours.<\/p>\nOther Studs:<\/strong><\/p>\nQBs<\/strong><\/p>\nTony Romo \u2013 Dallas Cowboys \u2013<\/strong> Romo has been on fire as of late and on Sunday continued his Studly ways. Romo passed for 292 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday in a win over the Washington Redskins.<\/p>\nAaron Rodgers \u2013 Green Bay Packers \u2013<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t his best effort but Rodgers did barely enough on Sunday to remain on the Stud list. He went 23 of 34 for 299 yards and another 3 touchdowns \u2013 ho hum!<\/p>\nRBs<\/strong><\/p>\nRay Rice \u2013 Baltimore Ravens \u2013<\/strong> It\u2019s simple for the Ravens \u2013 get the Rice and good things happen. Rice ran for two touchdowns on Sunday and 104 yards while adding 5 catches for 43 yards. Rice is a Stud every two weeks it seems \u2013 next week he just may be a Dud!<\/p>\nChris Ogbonnaya \u2013 Cleveland Browns \u2013<\/strong> In a week in which running backs were held largely in check, Ogbonnaya gets a Stud nod with his 21 rushes, 115 yards and a touchdown. He also added two receptions for 19 yards. He\u2019s barely a Stud but is one nonetheless!<\/p>\nHonourable Mention:<\/strong> LeGarrette Blount, Michael Turner<\/p>\nWRs<\/strong><\/p>\nTorrey Smith \u2013 Baltimore Ravens \u2013<\/strong> Smith returned to the lineup Sunday and was HUGE. He caught 6 balls for 165 yards and a touchdown in a truly Stud performance. [ad-8469823]<\/p>\nJordy Nelson \u2013 Green Bay Packers \u2013<\/strong> Nelson continued his sizzling stretch with six more grabs for 123 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday. Nelson is becoming money in the bank for his owners!<\/p>\nNate Washington \u2013 Tennessee Titans \u2013<\/strong> Washington did most of when the game appeared out of hand but there is no denying that 9 catches for 115 yards and 2 scores in Studly indeed!<\/p>\nVincent Jackson \u2013 San Diego Chargers \u2013<\/strong> Jackson was a monster in Week 11 \u2013 watch him crash and burn in Week 12! VJax went off for 7 catches for 165 yards and a touchdown on Sunday and is a worthy member of this week\u2019s Stud list.<\/p>\nHonourable Mention:<\/strong> Jerome Simpson, Kellen Winslow Jr., Jabar Gaffney, Michael Crabtree, Roddy White<\/p>\nDuds of the Week:<\/h3>\n
Brandon Marshall \u2013 Miami Dolphins \u2013<\/strong> One of the more reliable receivers over the past month was due for a Dud and on Sunday he delivered. Marshall had one catch for 5 yards on the way to becoming a Dud of the Week.<\/p>\nChris Johnson \u2013 Tennessee Titans \u2013<\/strong> Thanks for coming out Chris! He managed just 13 yards on 12 carries against Atlanta while adding a whole 15 yards more through the air. Johnson, you are not only Dud of the Week, you have become early candidate for Dud of the Year!<\/p>\nOther Duds:<\/strong><\/p>\nQBs<\/strong><\/p>\nRyan Fitzpatrick \u2013 Buffalo Bills \u2013<\/strong> Fitz hasn\u2019t been great but in a week where some were forced to start him, Ryan was a complete and utter Dud. Against a poor Miami defense, Fitzpatrick threw for 209 yards, ZERO touchdowns and two interceptions.<\/p>\nCarson Palmer \u2013 Oakland Raiders \u2013<\/strong> After a breakout week, a lot was expected of Palmer this week. He had 164 yards passing, ZERO touchdowns and 1 interception in a Dud performance.<\/p>\nSam Bradford – St. Louis Rams \u2013<\/strong> I had hopes for this guy and some started him because of the bye weeks and QB injuries. How did he reward you? 181 yards passing, 1 touchdown and 1 interception at home versus a pretty bad Seahawks defense \u2013 DUD!<\/p>\nDishonourable Mention:<\/strong> Eli Manning<\/p>\nRBs<\/strong><\/p>\nWillis McGahee \u2013 Denver Broncos \u2013<\/strong> McGahee started on Thursday night to the relief of his owners but ended up with zero Fantasy points. He had 12 carries for 18 yards and a fumble \u2013 nearly Dud of the Week territory.<\/p>\nFred Jackson \u2013 Buffalo Bills \u2013<\/strong> It isn\u2019t necessarily his fault but Jackson\u2019s numbers have been on a steady decline. On Sunday, against a vulnerable Miami defense, Jackson had just 17 yards rushing on seven attempts. He did have 50 yards receiving but it wasn\u2019t enough to keep Jackson out of the Dud column!<\/p>\nSteven Jackson \u2013 St. Louis Rams \u2013<\/strong> Ugh! Jackson had only 42 yards on 15 carries on Sunday after looking like he\u2019d turned the corner on his season. It is not all his fault but there is still no denying that Jackson was a complete Dud!<\/p>\nDishonourable Mention:<\/strong> Ryan Matthews, Beanie Wells, Brandon Jacobs<\/p>\nWRs<\/strong><\/p>\nStevie Johnson \u2013 Buffalo Bills \u2013<\/strong> Johnson was injured coming into the game and he played like it! He had 2 catches for 16 yards on Sunday \u2013 Brutal!<\/p>\nDenarius Moore \u2013 Oakland Raiders \u2013<\/strong> How many of you started Moore after his huge Week 10? I\u2019m sorry! He managed just one catch for 14 yards on Sunday and went from a Stud to a Dud!<\/p>\nJermichael Finley \u2013 Green Bay Packers –<\/strong> 1 catch for 30 yards and an injury makes Finley a Dud this week!<\/p>\n
