QB Studs

Andy Dalton-Cincinnati Bengals: Dalton had a huge game in the Bengals win to move to 3-0 while dropping their rival Ravens to 0-3.  He finished with 383 yards and three passing touchdowns while adding another score on the ground while rushing for ten yards.  He had a pair of turnovers, but his production more than made up for any points he lost as he posted 30 ESPN Standard league points.

Cam Newton-Carolina Panthers: Cam was again magical as he led the Panthers to a 27-22 win over the Saints.  He threw for 315 yards and a pair of scores while adding a rushing touchdown and adding 33 yards on the ground. Newton and the Panthers moved to 3-0 while dropping the Saints to 0-3.

Tom Brady-New England Patriots: The Patriots continue to pile on their opponents in the Brady revenge tour.  This week #12 threw for 358 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a 51-17 win.  Most of the Patriots touchdowns came on the ground this week, but Brady continues to run an effective and elite offense.

Carson Palmer-Arizona Cardinals: Palmer continues to be a great option at quarterback this season as he excels in Bruce Arians high-volume passing attack.  Palmer threw for 311 yards against the 49ers in week 3 and threw a pair of touchdown strikes to Larry Fitzgerald.

Matt Ryan-Atlanta Falcons: Ryan and the Falcons stormed back and won in Dallas after a rough start.  Matty Ice finished with 285 yards and a pair of touchdowns while rushing for 17 yards and adding a two-point conversion.
