NFL top performers - Week 8

It’s that time to take a look at the top Fantasy QB, RB and WR from this past week of the National Football League.

Fantasy QB of the week

David Garrard – Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jags are not good, but their QB keeps posted some solid numbers. Last week against the Cowboys, Garrard went 17-21 for only 260 yards, but tossed four TDs. After Jacksonville’s bye week in week nine, they will take on a Houston Texans pass defense is pretty bad. Look ahead and pick up Garrard.

Last week’s opponent: Dallas Cowboys - 2009 passing defense rank - 20

Next week’s opponent: Houston Texans (Week 10) - 2009 passing defense rank - 18

Fantasy RB of the week

BeJarvus Green-Ellis – New England Patriots

Remember those days where Brady would throw for four TDs? Well those are long gone and the Pats are now running the ball a lot more than they have in a few years. Green-Ellis ran all over the Vikings D last week 17 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns. You need to start him this weekend against one of the worst rushing defenses in Cleveland.

Last week’s opponent: Minnesota Vikings - 2009 rushing defense rank - 2

Next week’s opponent: Cleveland Browns - 2009 rushing defense rank - 28

Fantasy WR of the week

Calvin Johnson – Detroit Lions

Is Megatron transforming the Lions into a decent team? Last week against the ‘Skins, Johnson caught nine passes for 101 yards and three touchdowns. That was against a bad defense so it will be very interesting to see what he and the Lions can do against the very stingy passing D of the Jets this weekend.

Last week’s opponent: Washington Redskins - 2009 passing defense rank - T8

Next week’s opponent: New York Jets 2009 passing defense rank - 1
