NFL Week 11 Picks: Projecting Top Star Performances in Victories

Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers isn't the only guy piecing together an incredible season. 

Matt Forte, LeSean McCoy and Fred Jackson are all on pace to gain over 2,000 total yards from scrimmage. 

Calvin Johnson has 11 touchdowns. 

Wes Welker already has 1,006 yards receiving. 

Talk about offensive explosions. 

Here are the players I think will shine in their respective teams' victories this weekend. 

Fred Jackson 

The Bills average 5.2 yards per rush. The Dolphins run defense is allowing 3.8 yards per rush. Another test for Fred Jackson and the Bills. 

The offense has been in a funk over the last two games, only scoring 18 total points, but Jackson has remained the lone bright spot in his team's two losses, although he's lost two fumbles. 

Against Miami, desperate for a win, Buffalo's most passionate leader will have a big game, and total over 120 total yards from scrimmage. 

I expect Chan Gailey to feature him early and often not only running the football, but catching out of the backfield as well. 

When the Bills have needed a momentum-shifting play, they've called on Jackson this year, and I see him carrying Buffalo to victory and their first 6-4 start since 2000. 

Michael Turner 

Matt Ryan threw for 351 yards last week against the Saints, but New Orleans' secondary is one of the most susceptible units in the NFL.

Against a Titans defense that is allowing over 125 yards on the ground per game, head coach Mike Smith will revert to the power running game that has been so successful for the Falcons this season.

I expect nearly 25 carries for Turner and more than 125 yards on the ground with at least one rushing touchdown.

Although the Titans were stout stopping the run against the Panthers last week, the Falcons have a much more formidable attack and Tennessee will have to focus on Atlanta's playmakers at the wide receiver and tight end positions.

Nothing against Matt Ryan, I just think the Falcons have a much better chance of winning when they are a run-first team.

Eli Manning 

There are a handful of quarterbacks that should have big games on Sunday, like Aaron Rodgers (duh) and Tom Brady. 

However, against the divisional rival Eagles at home, I envision a huge statistical game from Eli Manning. 

Philadelphia's secondary is vastly overrated and we saw what John Skelton and the Arizona Cardinals did to them last week. 

Each of New York's trio of speedy wide receivers are very dangerous down the field and have outstanding YAC ability. 

Manning bounces back in a big way after falling short in the fourth quarter against the 49ers last week.
