Week Three Scoring Leaders

If you read my post two days ago about week three's starters and who to sit you would have seen the call to start Michael Vick against a bad Jaguars defense, and my prediction that he would lead all players in fantasy scoring. If you started Eli Manning, like you were told twice not to, then I hope you enjoyed two more turnovers and no touchdowns. On to this week's scoring leaders by position...

Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles, QB: 17/31 for 293 yards and 3 touchdowns, plus 4 rushes for 30 yards and a score. Called it.

Anquan Boldin, Baltimore Ravens, WR: 8 catches, after being targeted 11 times, for 142 yards and 3 touchdowns. Is it too early to be wacco for Flacco again? Definitely not next week against the Steelers.

Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings, RB: 23 rushes for 160 yards and 2 scores, plus 30 yards on 5 receptions. Do you need a recommendation to start Peterson?

Dustin Keller, New York Jets, TE: as I write this in advance for Monday; Keller has two scores on 5 receptions for 91 yards. Just think Braylong DUI Edwards, these could be your scores.

How about some underachievers?

David Garrard, Jacksonville Jaguards, QB: after throwing 3 touchdowns against the Broncos he has thrown 1 td to 5 interceptions. He ended with 105 yards on 13 for 30 attempts. How is this guy owned in nearly 29% of leagues?

Joseph Addai, Indianapolis Colts, RB: after running for 92 yards last week Addai added to this sporadic year with a 29 yards on 13 carries campaign plus 10 yards on two catches. Neither of the Colts running options look like good options this year.

Chad Ochocinco, Cincinnati Bengals, WR: perhaps its bad play from his QB, but when you get targeted 12 times against a bad Panthers D and you only bring in 4 catches for 34 yards you are severely under performing. Save for garbage time against the Patriots it has been a dissapointing year thus far for Robin.

Vernon Davis, San Francisco, TE: after catching no less then 70 yards in the previous 2 games Davis went for 22 yards on 3 catches against a Chiefs D giving up an average of 12 points at home this year. Davis has yet to score a touchdown this year, and his chances look no better against an Atlanta team that plays great at home.
