WEEK 6 STUDS AND DUDS
Whew – another Week is over and we sure saw our share of offense. We also saw our share of poor showings – Lots of Studs and lots of Duds this week in the NFL. Apologies to Aaron Rogers, Joe Flacco, Brett Favre, Steve Slaton, Andre Johnson, Heath Miller and Visanthe Shiancoe for not making it on the Stud list – but you all were Studs too. Without further adieu, here are your Week 6 Studs and Duds.
Stud of the Week
Tom Brady – New England – 345 yards and 5 tds. at halftime????? Nuts! Tom, you are such a Stud, why don’t you take almost the whole 2nd ½ off. 380 yards and 6 tds. – You’ve done your job!!
Dud of the Week
Kerry Collins – Tennessee – WOW!!! Honestly???? 2 of 12 for -7 yards? That’s minus 7 yards folks. Could be the Dud performance of the decade. I was on that stood up for Kerry but after the Week 6 showing, I got nothing.
Other Studs
Drew Brees -New Orleans – Ahhhh, welcome back to the Stud Column Drew!! 23/30 for 369 yards and 4 touchdowns is more like what the Fantasy World has come to expect. Against a top tier Defense, Brees showed why he was the #1 QB taken in Fantasy drafts.
Matt Schuab – Houston – Huge effort against a tough Cincinnati Defense. 28/40 for 392 yards and 4 tds. is Studworthy for sure. Schuab has become must-start material and if he can stay healthy, he will undoubtedly become a Top 5 QB by season’s end.
Ben Roethlisberger – Pittsburgh – 23/35 for 417 yards and 2 tds. – Insane. Isn’t Pittsburgh supposed to be a running team? Well, with a Stud like Ben, there is no need to be anymore.
Maurice Jones-Drew – Jacksonville – What a week for MJD! 178 combined yards and 3 tds. on the day – this after complaining about the play calling on his team. The formula is simple for the Jaguars – GIVE JONES-DREW THE DAMN BALL!
DeAngelo Williams – Carolina – 172 combined yards and 2 tds. in week 6 has Williams on the Stud list for the 1st time this year. It appears as though the Panthers have their running mojo back and with an ineffective Delhomme, they are gonna need it.
Thomas Jones – NY Jets – 22 carries for a club record 210 yards on a day that your QB threw 5 picks. Too bad that the effort was wasted. Insane numbers for TJ.
Ray Rice – Baltimore – Has definitely done enough to render Willis McGahee Fantasy irrelevant. 10 carries for 77 yards and 2 tds. combined with 10 catches for 117 yards makes Rice the runner up for Stud of the Week. The dude can play!!
Marques Colton – New Orleans – The bye week was obviously good to the Saints. After a few underwhelming efforts, the Saints passing game came to life in Week 6. Colton had 8 catches, 166 yards and 1 td. – Stud!
Hines Ward – Pittsburgh – Another player that is benefiting from a Hot QB. Ward was a monster against the Lions, grabbing 8 balls for 159 yards and a td. How could you not love this guy?
New England Wrs – Wes Welker and Randy Moss combined for 18 catches 279 yards and 5 tds. In Week 6. Crazy Numbers – 2 absolute studs!!!
Sidney Rice – Minnesota – Any questions about who Favre’s favorite receiver is? 176 yards on 6 catches should answer those questions. Rice keeps producing under the radar and in turn, is becoming a true Stud.
Owen Daniels – Houston – 7 catches for 78 yards and 2tds. for a tight end is nuts. It was a monster effort in an offense that is plain scary right now.
Zach Miller – Oakland – You won’t find too many Raiders on this list – EVER!!! 6 catches 139 yards and a td. in the Week 6 – not too shabby at all.
Other Duds
Seattle’s whole damn team – Important divisional matchup and That’s what you come up with? 112 yards passing and 14 yards rushing? ALL DUDS!!!
Jake Delhomme – Carolina – 65 yards passing and 2 interceptions against the NFL’s worst Defense should make you Dud of the Week. Delhomme is awful. How bad do you feel for Steve Smith?
Eli Manning – NY Giants – Battle of the unbeatens turned out to be a Dud and Eli didn’t show up. 14/31 for only 178 yards 1td. and an int. on Sunday. A bit of a Dud performance from a dude who’s not a Dud.
Jason Campbell – Washington – You know that you are a Dud when 37 year old Todd Collins replaces you! 89 yards on 9/16 passing against a terrible Chiefs Defense are not gonna get it done.
Mark Sanchez – NY Jets – 10 of 29 for 119 yards and 5 interceptions against the Bills at home – DUD! 
Willis McGahee – Baltimore – 7 rushes, 3 yards! After such a promising start of the season, McGahee seems to be fading off into the sunset. Add in the fact that Ray Rice is on FIRE, and there is only one conclusion McGahee is a Dud.
Brandon Jacobs -NY Giants – The whole Giants team seemed to have visited Dudville during the week. Jacobs was held to just 33 yards on Sunday and is worthy of his Dud title. Ahmad Bradshaw seems like the better back right now and if Jacobs doesn’t show something in the next few weeks, his starting job could be in danger.
Steve Smith – Carolina – 1 catch, 4 yards!!! I know that it is not all his fault (Delhomme is a pooch), but a goose-egg is unacceptable. Smith is quickly slipping out of the elite and its truly a shame.
Steve Smith – NY Giants – Wow, both Steve Smiths on the Dud list!! Expectations were high going into the game – Smith has been getting it done all year. 4 catches for 44 yards is as bad a game as Smith is gonna have this year. Instead of giving him a mulligan, Smith had to end up on the Dud list.
Santana Moss – Washington – Although his 1 catch went for 42 yards, the fact that Moss was unable to get free from a horrible Chiefs Defense is alarming. As we all know, Moss might end up on the Stud list next week, but this week, he’s definitely a Dud.
Terrell Owens – Buffalo – 3 catches 13 yards! That’s right folks, TO is a Dud.
