NFC East -Top Performers

Week 3

QB Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles. This man did everything in Week 3. He threw for 291 yards with three touchdowns and also ran for one score. But now that he’s injured, Kevin Kolb “earns” the starting job again in Week 5.

WR Roy Williams, Dallas Cowboys. Williams had his first good game of the season in Week 3 by grabbing five catches with two touchdowns. Too bad he didn’t perform as well in Week 4.

Week 4

Giants defense. New York’s defense put on a throwback performance against the Bears. They sacked Jay Cutler 9 times — in the first half alone. Cutler was knocked around so much that he was finally knocked out in the fourth quarter. His replacement, Todd Collins, was also knocked out in the fourth.

WR Hakeem Nicks, New York Giants. He had eight catches for a total 110 yards. He didn’t score a touchdown but he made several key catches in the fourth and was instrumental in handing the Bears their first loss of the season.

RB Ryan Torain, Washington Redskins. His stats aren’t eye-popping but his early touchdown proved to be the difference between a win and a loss.

Week 3

LB Brian Urlacher, Chicago Bears. Urlacher knocked the ball out of James Jones hands that set-up the game-winning field goal from Gould. He finished with nine tackles and one pass deflected.

K Robbie Gould, Chicago Bears. He missed one field goal, but made the one that really counted. This win would give Chicago their third straight win. They lost the next one.

RB Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings. A game against the Lions is just what A-Pete needed. He averaged seven yards per carry en route to 160 yards and two touchdowns, including a highlight 80 yard run for a score.

Week 4

CB Charles Woodson, Green Bay Packers. He returned an interception for a touchdown, which proved to be enough against the Lions. Surprisingly, the interception was only the eighth of Woodson’s career.

WR Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions. He had a respectable 86 receiving yards for two touchdowns in a losing effort.

NFC East – Top Performers

WR Miles Austin, Dallas Cowboys. Austin caught 10 passes (same as Week 1) for 142 yards (146 yards in Week 1). But he didn’t score a touchdown that could’ve made the difference.

QB Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles. Arguably the most entertaining football player on the planet strengthened his argument to start over Kevin Kolb. He helped the Eagles pick up their first win of the season by throwing 284 yards with two touchdowns and rushing for 37 yards. His performance warranted him a nod from Andy Reid to start in Week 3.

QB Donovan McNabb, Washington Redskins. It was not his fault the Redskins defense could not control Matt Schaub. McNabb didn’t turn the ball over and threw for 426 yards and a touchdown. Too bad for him he needed another touchdown to help Washington go 2-0.

RB LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia Eagles. Vick may be the star but McCoy did plenty of lifting as well. He broke free for 120 yards and three touchdowns. It was his first 100-yard game. He’ll get more after the potential he showed against the Lions. Every time Vick was in trouble McCoy was there for a short reception.

Sorry New York fans. Maybe next week when Eli doesn’t get spanked.

NFC North – Top Performers

RB Jahvid Best, Detroit Lions. In a losing effort the rookie showed tons of promise. He rushed for 78 yards with two touchdowns and had 9 receptions for 154 yards with a touchdown. Such a shame to see a fantasy stuffer lose with those kind of numbers.

QB Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears. Cutler is off to a fast start, having thrown only one interception so far compared to the three interceptions he threw in the first two games last year. His offensive line was iffy in the first quarter but Cutler fought through it and finished completing 21 of 29 passes for 277 yards and three touchdowns. He showed some nimbleness when he avoided a couple of would be sacks.

QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers. He improved upon his performance from last game. He completed 19 of his 29 passes for 255 yards with two touchdowns. The Bills were helpless against him. Heck, Rodgers even threw in a rushing touchdown just in case you questioned his mobility. The most important stat though? He was not sacked.

CB D.J. Moore, Chicago Bears. Moore intercepted two of Tony Romo’s passes, which helped seal the fate of the Cowboys. He had no tackles but deflected two passes.

LB  Clay Matthews, Green Bay Packers. He was all over the field Sunday and is averaging three sacks a game. He also collected five tackles. I almost felt sorry for Trent Edwards. Almost.

Sorry Vikings fans. Maybe when Favre realizes he’s too old to play football.

NFC East – Top Performers

WR Miles Austin, Dallas Cowboys. Despite the loss, Austin was the lone bright spot for the disappointing season debut of the Cowboys. He caught 10 passes for 146 yards including a touchdown. Alex Barron must’ve heard it from his teammates in the locker room after that holding penalty that cost Dallas the game.

QB Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles. It was vintage Vick against the Packers, he had 278 all-purpose yards. He threw for 175 yards including a touchdown and rushed for 103. He had scrambles of 31 and 23 yards. Vick energized an Eagles offense that was struggling under Kevin Kolb. If not for an Eldra Buckley fumble, the Packers wouldn’t have gained an extra possession. It’s time for Vick to start.

WR Hakeen Nicks, New York Giants. While it was New York‘s D that won the game for the G-men, Nicks provided Eli Manning with a go-to receiver. He caught four passes for 75 yards. And three of those receptions were for scores.

Washington Redskins defense. Washington’s defense scored a much-needed touchdown because its offense struggled. Cornerback DeAngelo Hall recovered a fumble and returned it for 32 yard touchdown. They almost let the Cowboys steal the game late, but they deserve the win for shutting down Tony Romo and the ‘Boys.

RB Matt Forte, Chicago Bears. Forte had 201 all-purpose yards – 50 rush yards and 151 receiving yards – including two receiving touchdowns. He provided Jay Cutler with a short-pass target that helped the QB gain much needed confidence.

QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers. Rodgers didn’t have a great game, but he’s the reason why the Packers beat the Eagles. He threw for 188 yards and two touchdowns.

TE Visanthe Shiancoe, Minnesota Vikings. He caught the only touchdown pass for the Vikings in an otherwise forgetful game.

RB Jahvid Best, Detroit Lions. The rookie RB scored two touchdowns for the Lions. He’ll need to carry the offensive load now that QB Matt Stafford is injured.

With 271 passing yards and 3 passing touchdowns (and we’ll quickly skim over the -2 rushing yards that shows he’s human), Favre didn’t quite make it as the fantasy football leader this week.  But the fact that he’s the only quarterback to  have defeated all 32 NFL teams, well, that put him over the top. Add that to a solid 30 – 23 win over his old team and division rival Green Bay Packers, he was the logical choice as our Performer of the Week.

I told myself that I wasn’t going to fall for the Favre hype, but I can’t help but enjoy watching the guy play.  I’ll keep quiet on which team I was pulling for though.

If you’re a Brett Favre or Minnesota Vikings fan, you’ve got to hop on over to check out some great Minnesota Vikings merchandise decor.

Minnesota Vikings Jewelry – ladies and men can both show they’re a fan with some stylish bling.

Minnesota Vikings Watches – some fashionable timepieces for men, women, and the kids, so everyone knows when it’s time for the Vikings to play.

Minnesota Vikings Bedding – decorate your child’s bedroom so they can already start dreaming about breaking Favre’s records when they grow up.

Minnesota Vikings Merchandise – great selection of various decorative items that’ll look great in the office, game room, bedroom, or other places in your home.

Check back often and see if Favre can make the cut again next week.

The Vikings are going for their first 4-0 start since 2003, while the Packers hope to improve to 3-1.  While both teams insist that the game will be all about getting the win for the team’s sake, it’s safe to assume that a lot will be said about seeing Favre in purple going against the team he led for 16 years.

David (3-1) and Chase (4-0) are picking the Packers to win tonight, while Spencer (4-0) and I (3-1) are calling it a Vikings victory.

Take our poll and tell us who you think the winner will be.

For those of you that haven’t heard (I know, who hasn’t heard), Brett Favre made it official yesterday that he will play for the Minnesota Vikings this year. Not only is he back, but he’s back in the division of his old team, to a big rival of the Packers. Interesting.

It’s kind of funny, just a few days ago I was joking with my son about this. He was ready to go ahead and do our family fantasy football draft, but I told him we needed to hold off a bit, because we don’t even know some of the starting quarterbacks. I then went on to joke that, “Who knows? Brett Favre could still come back.” The next day, the Brett Favre comeback news stories started up again.

Now that Brett Favre has decided that he will come back, will you be rooting for him and the Vikings? Do you think he should have come back? And for all of you fantasy football players out there, do you put him on your draft list?  Leave us a comment to let us know!
