Monday Morning Huddle

What I saw in Week 10

Perfection at its Best....

There was no doubting who the best team was on Monday night. Not only were the Saints on fire, but they were firing on all cylinders. The defense as well as the offense came to play Monday night. Led by Darren Sharper and newly signed Mike McKenzie, the Saints defense limited Tom Brady to less than 250 yards passing, no touchdowns, two sacks, and forced the Patriots to committ three turnovers. Brees was his spectacular self tossing five touchdowns to five different players. The Patriots never had a chance.

The Vikings keeping riding Golden arm....

Despite having one of the leagues very best in the backfield, the Vikings continue to ride the arm of 40 year old quarterback Brett Favre. On Sunday in a blowout victory over the Bears Favre put the ball in the air 48 times passing for nearly 400 yards and throwing three more touchdowns (24 this season). It may seem like the Vikings have opened the playbook, but in their last seven games Favre has only topped 30 attempts twice. As along as Favre remains this effective, his receiving corp of Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin, and Visanthe Shaincoe should remain consistently productive for fantasy owners.

A Few Things I Remember from

Week 12

1. The Broncos found their way on Thursday night with a dominating performance. Kyle Orton (245 yards passing) threw the ball well and suddenly Brandon Marshall (six catches, 86 yards) is fantasy relevant again.

2. The Bills and T.O. continue to find they do have big plays in the passing game. Owens caught a 51-yard pass for six and even Lee Evan hooked up with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick for 32 yards.

3. Tomlinson has not found brilliance, but he has found second half of the season effectiveness. His two scores on Sunday give him five touchdowns in his last three games.

4. Steven Jackson was held to under 100 yards rushing for the first time in five weeks, but he still totaled more than 100 yards. Jackson has now totaled over 100 yards in seven straight games.
