RB: Brandon Jacobs, Giants

Like Turner above, someone has to fill a spot, even if they were playing the Steelers.  Things about the Giants is they can play to what they need to do to win.  Sometimes Jacobs is not included in that.  47 yards on the ground with one catch for six yards.

WR: Reggie Wayne, Colts

Wayne gets another busts week as he watches Dallas Clark get in the VIP room at Football Jabber.  The second Dud week in a row for Wayne, only 29 yards on three grabs.  Not what you like to see at all out of such a high draft pick.

WR: Terrell Owens, Cowboys

T.O. has not turned it on since Week Five.  So just how much does this guy depend on Tony Romo in his game?  Roy Williams got a TD this week.  That cannot sit well with Owens even though he was over patting his back afterward.  33 yards on five receptions this week.

TE: Jason Witten, Cowboys

Huh?  Wait a…what?  Jason Witten gets one catch for eight yards?  Does Brad Johnson think this is the days back when TE’s were meant for blocking?  We think it is safe to say that Witten will come out of this week looking okay.  He is still the most dominant TE in 2008.

DT/ST:  Tennessee Titans

A couple of things were bound to happen sometime this year.  There was bound to be a time when the Titans did not get to a QB, allowed a bunch of yards, and gave up a few TD’s.  There was also bound to be a time that the Colts looked more like the Colts.

INDIVIDUAL DEFENSIVE PLAYERS (IDP)

LB: Dhani Jones, Browns

At one time he was leading the league in tackles.  This week, one tackle.  Nuff said.

DL: Charles Grant, Saints

Grant has not been stellar but he has been consistent this season.  So when he logged one tackle and one pass defensed this season you had to feel it if he is on your team.

DB: Antonio Cromarti, Chargers

Come on MAN!  You are playing the Saints, right?  (Before the Saints fans roll in on that one, I’m one too).  Cromarti is losing his IDP status by having these average games every other week.  Which, doing the math would have him doing well next week, on the bye week.

 

Watch this week for the position by position breakdown of how players have performed in comparison to their draft positions at Football Jabber.
