Sunday Night FF Headlines
Who is now making Fantasy News?

Keep track of which players are making noise
[fantasy points based on traditional scoring]

QB-Ben Roethlisberger goes nuts on Sunday....
The Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a fantasy game like very few have ever seen passing for more than 500 yards, completing 29 passes, and throwing three touchdowns to lead the Steelers and undoubtedly earn a few fantasy owners a win. (38 fantasy points)

QB-Aaron Rodgers has a huge Sunday.....
The Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had himself a very nice Sunday outing passing for over 380 yards against the Steelers and throwing three touchdowns, unfortunately he was matched up against Big Ben. (33 fantasy points)

RB-Jerome Harrison has nearly a record day.....
The Browns running back Jerome Harriosn nearly had one for the record books, although his performance will rank among the very best all-time. Harrison carried the ball a game-high (and season high) 34 times for 286 yards on the ground (8.4 yards per carry). Harrison also added three scores to lead the Browns to a rare win. (47-fantasy points)

RB-Jamaal Charles continues to run wild....
The Chiefs running back is quickly cementing himself as a 2010 preseason fantasy favorite with one strong performance after another. Charles carried the ball 25 times on Sunday against the Browns and rushed for 154 yards including a score. It was his fourth straight game with a rushing touchdown. (21-fantasy points)

WR-Steve Smith: Dynamite in small package....
The Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith turned in a dominant performance Sunday night against the Vikings secondary. Smith caught nine passes for 157 yards and a touchdown to lead the Sunday night upset. (21-fantasy points)

WR-Andre Johnson; simply a beast....
The Texans Pro Bowl receiver Andre Johnson had another big Sunday catching nine balls for 196 yards receiving in the Texans Week 16 victory over the Rams. (19-fantasy points)

Notable IDP Fantasy Newsmakers…

The Patriots outside linebacker Tully Banta-Cain had a huge impact Sunday recording three sacks in the teams win over the Bills. Banta-Cain finished the afternoon with six total tackles in the winning effort.

The Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware returned to action on Saturday night against the Saints after being knocked out of a Week 14 matchup with the Giants with a neck sprain. For the Cowboys his return was huge and for the Saints unfortunate. Ware led a huge defensive effort recording two sacks and two forced fumbles in the Cowboys win that ended the Saints perfect season.
