QB Studs

Andy Dalton-Cincinnati Bengals: Dalton continued his huge season as he led the Bengals back from a big deficit against the “Legion of Boom” as the Bengals beat the Seahawks in overtime.  Dalton finished with over 300 yards for the third straight week finishing with 331 yards and a pair of passing touchdowns.  He made his week even better with a rushing touchdowns and 18 yards on the ground.

Eli Manning-New York Giants: Manning threw for three touchdowns and an incredibly efficient 441 yards last night in the Sunday Night Football game against the 49ers.  He threw three touchdown strikes including the game winner and added 11 yards on the ground.

Tom Brady-New England Patriots: Brady and the Patriots picked up where they left off before the bye as they beatdown the Cowboys 30-6.  Like Dalton, Brady ran for a touchdown and threw for two more scores.  He finished with 275 yards through the air and posted 25 fantasy points in ESPN standard scoring continuing his impressive run of at least 22 fantasy points each week of the season.

Joe Flacco-Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens lost a bad game at home to their division rivals the Browns, but Flacco’s fantasy day was pretty solid since he finished with a pair of rushing touchdowns.  He didn’t have as much success throwing the ball completing just 19 of his 35 attempts and finishing with 210 yards passing and one passing touchdown.

Carson Palmer-Arizona Cardinals: Palmer and the Cardinals steamrolled over the Lions as they bounced back from a tough home loss last week to the Rams. Arizona looked like the dominant team in the NFC again in week 5 behind three passing touchdowns from Palmer on 11/14 passing for 161 yards.
