StingRay - Dwayne Bowe

The rookie from LSU had caught touchdowns in each of his last two games prior to Sunday's tilt against the San Diego Chargers.  Bowe was at it again when he caught a 51-yard touchdown pass to give the Chiefs the lead early in the 4th quarter.  Bowe finished the game with 8 receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown.  If this rookie is still available in your league then I suggest you pick him up.

Smokin' Joe - Tony Romo

Tony Romo was expected to have a good game against the St Louis Rams and he did.  He threw for 339 yards yesterday and accounted for 4 touchdowns (3 Passing, 1 rushing). This brings his season totals to 1199 yards passing and 13 total touchdowns. He is showing he was no fluke last year and has become a must start every week.  Oh, and one more thing, he is a free agent at the end of the year.  Isn’t it funny how it always seems to work out that way?  Contract year = big year.

CrunchTime - Justin Fargas

For those of you that watched the battle for "Least Effective Rushing Defense" on Sunday, you saw some serious fantasy production. Jordan got off to a hot start with 74 yards on 15 carries, but he was really just tenderizing the defense for the onslaught that Fargas would unleash in the second half.

Fargas had seen some touches early in the game, but didn't get the spotlight until Jordan went down with a knee injury.  It was then that he had one of the most impressive second half running outbursts I've seen, ending up with 22 carries for 179 yards.  Any time someone can average over 8 yards per carry, and pile up the most yardage for the week in part time duty, they definitely deserve some recognition for their freakish performance.

The Sandman - Daunte Culpepper

No matter what any player says, they get great joy in sticking it to their former team and this week Culpepper had that chance as the Raiders traveled to Miami to face the Dolphins.

The Dolphins cut Culpepper during the off-season, claiming that they had no faith in his rebuilt knee. You can’t blame the Dolphins, they took a chance on Culpepper and basically they got nothing out of him. 

This week Culpepper had a chance to get his revenge and he got in a big way.  Ironically it wasn’t with his right hand (5-of-12 for 75 yards and two touchdowns) but with his feet (7 carries for 28 yards and three touchdowns). That makes for a total of five touchdowns.

Not bad for a guy with a bad knee.
