Welcome back, NFL top performer viewers. Let’s take a look at the top Fantasy QB, RB and WR from this past week of thoroughly enjoyable pro football action.
Fantasy QB of the week
Michael Vick – Philadelphia Eagles
In week three against the Jags, Vick threw for 291 yards with three TDs and zero interceptions. Maybe Vick really is back and is again a must-start QB in all leagues after all. He appears to have most of his speed back and his accuracy actually seems better than it was in Atlanta. Could Mike Vick be the comeback player of the year? Keep in mind that the last two defenses he has faced (Detroit and Jacksonville) are two of the weaker against the pass. Next week’s game against a better ‘Skins D will show us all a lot about who Vick and the Eagles really are.
Last week’s opponent: Jacksonville Jaguars - 2009 passing defense rank - 27
Next week’s opponent: Washington Redskins - 2009 passing defense rank - 8
Fantasy RB of the week
Adrian Peterson – Minnesota Vikings
Well, All Day had a great game, but it was against the Lions. It still counts, right? Adrian rushed for 160 yards on 23 carries for two TDs in week three. There is no doubt that Peterson is a top back and should be starting in all leagues at all times, except for next week (Bye week). Peterson will have a great challenge when the Vikings return in week five against a stingy Jets’ rushing defense.
Last week’s opponent: Detroit Lions - 2009 rushing defense rank - 25
Next week’s opponent: Bye- (Week 5- New York Jets) - 2009 rushing defense rank - 8
Fantasy WR of the week
Anquan Boldin – Baltimore Ravens
Boldin and Flacco had some fun on Sunday against LeBron’s old city. The combo met up for three TDs and 142 yards. Keep in mind it was against the Browns, one of the worst passing defense teams in the league, but still impressive. Boldin should be starting in all leagues.
Last week’s opponent: Cleveland Browns - 2009 passing defense rank - 29
Next week’s opponent: Pittsburgh Steelers - 2009 passing defense rank - 16
