QB Studs

Philip Rivers-San Diego Chargers: In a close game against the Browns, Rivers posted his best fantasy football game of the season throwing for 358 yards and three touchdowns to three different receivers.  In his two home games, Rivers has 762 yards with five touchdowns.  Next week’s showdown with the Steelers in San Diego should be another chance for Rivers to pile up points.

Drew Brees-New Orleans Saints: Brees ended up with 359 yards and a pair of touchdowns in New Orleans first win of the season.  He connected with C.J. Spiller on an 8o-yard game winner giving him his first multi-touchdown game of the season.

Eli Manning-New York Giants: Manning threw for three touchdowns against the Bills while helping the Giants get a 24-10 win on the road in Buffalo.  Manning finished with 212 yards passing with one interception while throwing for multiple scores for the third straight week.

Jay Cutler-Chicago Bears: Cutler returned early from his hamstring injury and posted a solid game while leading the Bears to a home win against the Raiders.  Cutler finished with 281 yards and a pair of passing touchdowns while also setting the team up for the game-winning field goal as time expired.

Andy Dalton-Cincinnati Bengals: Dalton only threw for one touchdown in the Bengals win over Kansas City.  The rest of the Bengals’ scoring came on the ground, but Dalton still managed 321 yards while completing 17 of 24 of his passes.
