In Week 12, Jay Cutler had his best performance of the 2010-11' season  recording 27.58 fantasy points.  Cutler did this against a pretty solid Philadelphia Eagles defense who only gives up an average of 214 YPG.

Last Week's Performance:

You rarely see fullbacks recording a significant amount of yards, but Mike Tolbert has become a dangerous force in San Diego's running game.  This past weekend Tolbert earned his third 100-yard performance of the season, and has now recorded a touchdown in eight of eleven games this season.  

Tolbert took advantage of the 30th ranked rushing defense of the Indianapolis Colts, who give up an average of 136.0 YPG.  If you own Tolbert be sure to start him in the following weeks, seeing increased touches while showing he can consistently perform at a high level for the San Diego Chargers.

Last Week's Performance:

At Seattle Seahawks: 13 receptions for 170 yards and three touchdowns

Dwayne Bowe is having a Pro-Bowl caliber season, scoring 13 touchdowns in the last seven games.  

In Week 10 Bowe exampled how productive he could really be making 13 receptions for 186 yards and two touchdowns.

Expect Dwayne Bowe to have another explosive performance in Week 13, against the 20th overall ranked passing defense of the Denver Broncos.
