20 Fantasy Football Studs and Duds for Week Six
October 14, 2008
This week’s Team Studs and Team Duds have some new faces and some that have changed teams. Let’s have a look at the Top Dog’s and the Dog’s that laid down in fantasy football for Week Six…
Team Stud
QB: Drew Brees, Saints
Rumor had it that Drew Brees and the Saints were going to get back Marques Colston and Jeremy Shockey for this week's game against the Raiders. Well, neither of them played and Brees played worthy of the first half rear kissing they gave him on the Monday Night Football broadcast (did you notice that last week?). 320 yards and three TD’s.
RB: Marion Barber III, Cowboys
After a couple so-so weeks Barber is back Baby! Only 45 yards on the ground but he got 11 receptions for 128 yards and a TD in the air. There has been some talk about Barber being the new L.T. and with play like that, where they find a way to get him the ball, he could be in coming years. Now that we see Tony Romo sidelined for a while we could see Barber fed the ball more.
RB: Maurice Jones-Drew, Jaguars
Finally! There has been one of those little name signs sitting in front of this seat all season reserved for Jones-Drew. Only his second big game of the season, he tore up the Broncos defense for two TD’s on 125 yards, with another 23 in the air. He gets hot just in time for the bye week.
WR: Andre Johnson, Texans
The second week in a row on team stud for Andre Johnson. He could very well be turning into that No.1 WR that a lot of people drafted him as. This week he turned ten catches into 178 yards and a TD. Guess what Johnson owners? Now he gets the Lions next week!
WR: Braylon Edwards, Browns
Edwards only had five receptions but he made them count against a tough Giants defense. 154 yards and a TD. Plus, a two point conversion. It’s been a long season for Edwards owners. His previous best came in a game where he pulled in a TD on just 22 yards. Hopefully this high draft pick of a WR and the Browns can ride some momentum off this win.
TE: Marcedes Lewis, Jaguars
Lewis was supposed to be somewhat of a sleeper that last couple years…and sleep he has. This week he helps that cause with one of his three catches being for a TD. If you drafted him it was hopefully as a bye week filler…and hopefully it was last weeks bye you were filling.
DT/ST: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs did it again on the defensive side of the ball. Highlighted by three INT’s and a TD, the Bucs held the Panthers to just three points. We are starting to see some old names we have not seen in a while occupying this spot week after week.
Individual Defensive Players (IDP)
LB: Channing Crowder, Dolphins

I'd like to see Marvin Harrison perform like that a few weeks in a row before I stop worrying about the Colts' offense. Peyton said he felt like finally finished his "preseason" after Sunday's game. For the sake of all Colt offensive player owners, we hope so!

For the record, when I rankings Peyton Manning our of the top three fantasy football QB's in the pre-season, I took more heat for that from people at Bleacher Report than anywhere else ;)
