Quarterback:

Tom Brady – 29 Points

Brady had a stellar performance on Sunday against the Jets with 355 yards and two touchdown passes.  He also managed to get fifteen rushing yards on four attempts including a rushing touchdown.  The Patriots had a very weak run game, and for the first time in his career, Brady led the team in rushing yards.

 

Running Backs:

Lamar Miller – 35 Points

Miller had a monster game against the Texans this Sunday, with 175 yards and a touchdown on only fourteen carries.  He also had sixty receiving yards on three receptions.  Miller had two massive gains, an eighty five yard touchdown run, and a fifty three yard touchdown pass.

 

Todd Gurley – 27 Points

Gurley is having a great year as a rookie, adding to his success this week with twenty seven points.  Gurley had 128 yards and two touchdowns on nineteen rushes.  Gurley had his first ever NFL touchdown, and then got one more after that.

 

Wide Receivers:

T.Y. Hilton – 27 Points

Hilton racked up twenty seven points on Sunday, remarkably with only four receptions.  He totaled 150 yards and two touchdowns.  His two touchdowns were quite spectacular, an eighty six yard pass and a forty six yard pass.

 

Nate Washington – 24 Points

Washington had a great game following an injury that put him on the sideline for three weeks.  He had 127 yards and two touchdowns on nine receptions.  Nate Washington is only 5.9% owned in Espn leagues, and I would highly recommend picking him up.

 

Tight End:

Jordan Reed – 19 Points

Reed had a nice comeback after being injured for the past couple weeks.  He got seventy two yards and two touchdowns on eleven receptions.  He is only 41.8% owned in ESPN fantasy leagues, and if he is on the waivers in your league, I highly suggest that you pick him up.

 

D/ST:

Jaguars – 22 Points

The Jaguar’s D/ST had an amazing week, even with allowing thirty one points.  They had two interceptions, two fumble recoveries, and two touchdowns, which is very rare for a defense in one week.  This could be a turnaround for this Jaguars D/ST, having struggled so far this season.

 

Kicker:

Blair Walsh – 20 Points

Walsh had an explosive week, Totalling 20 points, which is tremendous for a kicker.  He made 5 field goals, two of which from over fifty yards.  The Vikings are having a surprisingly good season, being 4-2 and defeating some tough teams.
