Calvin Johnsons epic game could have been even better, big numbers from
Matthew Stafford, Drew Brees and Andy Dalton, while Tom Brady
and Adrian Peterson struggle; Marvin Jones, Jordan Reed, Golden Tate and more
in Scott Cullens 50 Points on NFL Week Eight.
Jeremy Maclin Chiefs Jersey . 1. Lions WR
Calvin Johnson (14 REC, 329 YDS, 1 TD, 1 fumble, 16 targets) had a game for the
ages against Dallas. True to form, he was tackled or knocked out of bounds four
times inside the Dallas five-yard line. 2. Lions QB Matthew Stafford (33-for-48,
488 YDS, 1 TD, 2 INT) was the one getting the ball to Calvin Johnson. He ranks
second in passing yardage this season (2,617) as well as second since the start
of the 2011 season (12,622 YDS; 315.6 per game). 3. Saints QB Drew Brees
(26-for-34, 332 YDS, 5 TD) is on a roll. Since the start of the 2011 season,
Brees has thrown a league-high 108 touchdowns. Green Bays Aaron Rodgers, with
99, is only other quarterback within 25 touchdown passes of Brees over that
two-and-a-half year span. 4. Bengals QB Andy Dalton (19-for-30, 325 YDS, 5 TD, 1
INT) has thrown for 300-plus yards in each of the last three games, passing for
11 touchdowns in the process. Hes tied for fourth with 16 touchdown passes and
ranks fourth with 2.249 passing yards. Given those numbers, and ranks, its hard
to say he doesnt belong as a fantasy starter. 5. Panthers QB Cam Newton
(23-for-32, 221 YDS, 2 TD; 50 YDS, 1 TD, 11 carries) continues to roll up
fantasy value. He ranks sixth among quarterbacks in fantasy value this season.
Hes competed a career-high 64.9% of his passes and his touchdown-interception
ratio (12:5) is the best of his three-year NFL career. 6. After questions arose
late in the week about the status of Lions RB Reggie Bush (122 YDS, 1 TD, 1
fumble, 29 touches) he not only played, but had a season-high 29 touches and
ranks third among running backs with 853 yards from scrimmage. 7. There was
significant doubt, as late as Sunday morning, over whether Saints TE
Jimmy Graham (3 REC, 37 YDS, 2 TD, 3 targets) would even play against Buffalo,
as hes dealing with a foot injury, but even in a limited role, Graham turned in
a productive performance. 8. Patriots QB Tom Brady (13-for-22, 116 YDS, 1 TD, 1
INT) is having a horrific season. Sundays 116-yard effort was his lowest passing
yardage total since Decembe, 2009. His average of 228.0 yards per game -- in an
increasingly pas-happy NFL -- is his lowest since 2006 and his touchdown to
interception ratio (9:6) matches his first season as a starter, 2001, when he
threw 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Every year in between has produced a
better ratio, including last year when he threw 34 touchdowns and eight
interceptions. 9. After Tom Brady locked in on him constantly in Week Seven,
Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (2 REC, 27 YDS, 5 targets) was barely used in Week
Eight. For those, like me, thinking that Gronkowskis return could salvage Bradys
season, well, it may not be as simple as that. 10. Broncos QB Peyton Manning
(30-for-44, 354 YDS, 4 TD, 3 INT, 1 lost fumble) put up yardage in the win over
Washington, but his four turnovers showed just how the tide has turned. Manning
didnt throw any interceptions in the first four games of the year, then one in
each of the next three, before Washington picked him off three times in Week
Eight. Time to take care of that pigskin. 11. Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (83
YDS, 1 TD, 16 touches) has obviously gone through a devastating time, following
the death of his son, but has only 44 touches over the last three weeks, since
his last three games of the 2011 season, which included an injury-shortened
appearance in Week 10. 12. Washington TE Jordan Reed (8 REC, 90 YDS, 14 targets)
has quickly gone from interesting option to must-start. In the last two weeks,
Reed has 17 catches for 224 yards and a touchdown. 13. Second-year Bengals WR
Marvin Jones (8 REC, 122 YDS, 4 TD, 8 targets) has been pulling ahead of
Mohamed Sanu as the best option across from No. 1 wideout A.J. Green, but his
four-touchdown effort against the Jets should pretty much seal that competition.
Jones has 250 receiving yards and six touchdowns over the last three games. 14.
Before we forget about Bengals WR A.J. Green (3 REC, 115 YDS, 7 targets),
though, its worth nothing that his 734 receiving yards ranks second, behind only
Calvin Johnson. 15. Packers WR Jordy Nelson (7 REC, 123 YDS, 2 TD, 8 targets)
and Jarrett Boykin (5 REC, 89 YDS, 6 targets) had productive games against
Minnesota. WR Myles White (5 REC, 35 YDS, 7 targets) could be one to watch, as
the Packers No. 3 receiver, for as long as James Jones remains sidelined. 16.
Seahawks WR Golden Tate (5 REC, 93 YDS, 2 TD, 7 targets) had the most productive
game of his career, including a dozen rushing yards, against St. Louis and with
WR Sidney Rice suffering a torn ACL, Tate is sure to be a big part of the
Seahawks offence, even when Percy Harvin makes his return to the lineup. 17.
Browns WR Josh Gordon (5 REC, 132 YDS, 1 TD, 10 targets) has been a big-time
performer since missing the first two games of the year due to suspension. His
average of 97.0 receiving yards per game currently ranks fourth among wide
receivers. 18. Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson (5 REC, 79 YDS, 13 targets) and
TE/WR Tim Wright (5 REC, 48 YDS, 1 TD, 8 targets) had moderately productive
games. The Bucs dont have a lot of options, and WR Mike Williams is now on IR,
so Jackson and Wright figure to get a lot of looks for the rest of the season.
19. Falcons WR Harry Douglas (12 REC, 121 YDS, 18 targets) continues to build
his resume as a starting receiver in the absence of Julio Jones and Roddy White.
Drew Davis (5 REC, 77 YDS, 1 TD, 7 targets) had a productive game against
Arizona too. 20. Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles (120 YDS, 23 touches) pulled into the
lead in yards from scrimmage, up to 1,018 yards in eight games, one yard ahead
of Eagles RB LeSean McCoy. 21. Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno (133 YDS, 1 TD, 20
touches) is considered a giant surprise this year, since Montee Ball and
Ronnie Hillman were getting taken earlier in fantasy drafts, but his 744 yards
from scrimmage through eight games is only slightly ahead of the 692 yards he
puts up in eight games last season. The difference for Moreno is that he has a
league-leading nine touchdowns this season. 22. Packers RB Eddie Lacy (112 YDS,
1 TD, 33 touches) isnt necessarily the most efficient, but hes getting a ton of
touches -- 108 over the last four games -- and its increasing because hes taking
more of a part, however small, in the Green Bay passing game, with nine catches
over the last two games. 23. Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew (122 YDS, 25 touches)
had his most productive game of the season. As bad as the Jaguars have been, its
stunning that this was the first time Jones-Drew had 25 touches. Two years ago,
when he led the league in rushing, Jones-Drew had at least 25 touches in eight
games though, to be fair, six of those games came after Week Eight. 24. Eagles
RB LeSean McCoy (65 YDS, 19 touches) is starting to feel the effects of
Philadelphias inconsistent quarterback play. The last two weeks are the first
two weeks of the season in which McCoy has been held under 90 yards from
scrimmage and without a touchdown. 25. Raiders RB Darren McFadden (82 YDS, 2 TD,
26 touches) was reasonably effective. He ranks 17th among running backs in total
fantasy points despite getting injured in Week Four, when he was limited to five
carries, and missing Week Five. 26. 49ers RB Frank Gore (77 YDS, 2 TD, 20
touches) quietly went about his business against Jacksonville before backup
Kendall Hunter (84 YDS, 9 carries) got turned loose on the downtrodden Jags. 27.
Patriots RB Stevan Ridley (79 YDS, 1 TD, 14 carries) was inexplicably left out
of the gameplan in the first quarter against Miami, recording no touches in the
first 15 minutes, but it was the second-most productive game of the year for
Ridley and the third straight game in which he scored a touchdown. 28. Cardinals
RB Andre Ellington (162 YDS, 1 TD, 17 touches) has been sharing time with
Rashard Mendenhall in the Arizona backfield but, with Mendenhall out against
Atlanta, Ellington showed that probably is a sub-optimal way to distribute
touches in the Cardinals offence. Theyre on a bye in Week Nine, but beyond that,
Ellington really should see more carries. 29. Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (112 YDS,
21 touches) had his best game of the season, against New England, pulling
further ahead of Daniel Thomas (52 YDS, 10 touches) in the Dolphins backfield.
30. With C.J. Spiller on the sidelines, Bills RB Fred Jackson (53 YDS, 1 TD, 17
touches) handled the bulk of the work against New Orleans, with Tashard Choice
(35 YDS, 7 carries) coming off the bench. Jackson has been the Bills best back
this year, but the Saints werent an easy matchup. 31. Saints RB Pierre Thomas
(94 YDS, 17 touches) continues to produce for the Saints. Even though the season
started with a three-pronged running attack, Thomas still ranks 25th among
running backs with 477 yards from scrimmage, just ahead of Stevan Ridley,
Darren McFadden and C.J. Spiller. 32. Rams RB Zak Stacy (134 YDS, 26 carries)
suffered a sprained ankle late against Seattle Monday nigh, but it was a
career-best performance, solidifying his place at the top of the Rams depth
chart, when hes healthy. 33. Giants RB Peyton Hillis (85 YDS, 23 touches)
continued to run the rock. While Hillis isnt all that efficient, and could be
usurped by Andre Brown around Week 10, Hillis has gained 166 yards from
scrimmage in two games with the Giants. 34. Buccaneers RB Mike James (64 YDS, 14
touches) didnt get a lot of opportunities against Carolina, but enough that hes
likely to see more action over the rest of the season. 35. Jets RB Bilal Powell
(30 YDS, 14 touches) barely re-established his lead in the Jets backfield ahead
of Chris Ivory (11 YDS, 6 carries) as both Jets runners were bottled up against
Cincinnati. 36. Saints WR Kenny Still (3 REC, 129 YDS, 2 TD, 4 targets) had the
big day for New Orleans receivers against Buffalo, while Lance Moore (3 REC, 34
YDS, 1 TD, 4 targets) returned to the lineup with a score too. Marques Colston
(3 REC, 18 YDS, 6 targets) is practically in free-fall -- he has a total of six
catches for 44 yards in the last three games. 37. Panthers WR Ted Ginn (5 REC,
80 YDS, 6 targets) has largely been a disappointment in his career, but hes
become a threat for Carolina. Week Eights 80 receiving yards was his most in a
game since December, 2009. 38. Chiefs WR Dexter McCluster (8 REC, 67 YDS, 1 TD,
10 targets) has been under-used for much of the season, but does have 11 catches
for 137 yards over the last two weeks as he takes on a bigger role. McClusters
emergence stands in stark contrast with WR Dwayne Bowe (1 REC, 7 YDS, 2
targets), who has been nothing more than a spare part in the Chiefs offence this
season. Bowe did have a season-high five catches for 66 yards in Week Seven
before falling to season-lows in Week Eight. 39. While WR Jeremy Kerley has been
the best bet among Jets receivers, David Nelson (8 REC, 80 YDS, 12 targets) has
emerged as a more viable threat, catching a dozen passes for 160 yards over the
past two games. 40. 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick (10-for-16, 164 YDS, 1 TD; 54 YDS,
2 TD, 7 carries) is starting to play better after a dismal stretch from Week Two
through Week Five. His passing totals are still modest but, combined with
rushing yards and touchdowns, Kaepernick is returning to fantasy relevance. 41.
Raiders QB Terrelle Pryor (10-for-19, 88 YDS, 2 INT; 106 YDS, 1 TD, 9 carries)
got a win against Pittsburgh and his 106 rushing yards were his second-most in a
game this season, but passing for 88 yards and two interceptions isnt a
sustainable way to win games. The last two games, against Kansas City and
Pittsburgh, Pryors completion percentage is way down (52.8% compared to 68.3%
previously) 42. Browns QB Jason Campbell (22-for-36, 293 YDS, 2 TD) had a strong
enough game against Kansas City that hes going to start again next week. So long
as Campbell is passing like that, Brows receivers have fantasy value. 43. Eagles
third-string QB Matt Barkley (17-for-26, 158 YDS, 1 INT, 1 lost fumble)
struggled in relief of an injured Michael Vick. With Vick expected to miss more
time with a hamstring injury, its important that Nick Foles is healthy enough to
play because theres little evidence that Barkley is ready to face NFL defences.
44. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (10-for-18, 139 YDS, 2 TD) could use some
receiving stability because hes had three games this season with fewer than 150
passing yards. He had three such games all of last season. 45. Dolphins WR
Brandon Gibson suffered a torn patella tendon and has been placed on IR. Not
that the Dolphins passing game is outstanding, but have an eye on second-year WR
Rishard Matthews, who will take over Gibsons slot receiver role. 46. Giants WR
Rueben Randle (0 REC, 1 target) was somehow ignored in the Giants win over
Philadelphia. When the two teams met in Week Five, Randle had six catches for 96
yards and two touchdowns, so the matchup should have been favourable. 47. The
non-quarterback, non-running back worth most in fantasy leagues through eight
weeks has been Saints TE Jimmy Graham (15.4 points per game), followed by
Packers WR Jordy Nelson (15.0) and Lions WR Calvin Johnson (14.8). 48. Rams DE
Robert Quinn (5 tackles, 3 sacks) and Chris Long (4 tackles, 3 sacks) took
advantage of a depleted Seahawks offensive line Monday. They are one of the best
end combinations in the game, combining for 15.5 sacks. 49. Seahawks OLB
Bruce Irvin (9 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT) had a monster game against St. Louis. 50.
Other defensive players to have big weeks: Cowboys ILB Sean Lee (10 tackles, 2
INT), Browns OLB Craig Robertson (11 tackles, 1 sack), Chiefs ILB
Derrick Johnson (12 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 PD), Saints OLB Junior Galette (6 tackles,
1 sack, 1 FR), Giants CB Terrell Thomas (11 tackles, 1 sack), Eagles OLB
Mychal Kendricks (12 tackles, 1 TFL), Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson (4 tackles, 1
sack, 1 INT), Steelers FS Ryan Clark (12 tackles, 1 TFL), Steelers SS
Troy Polamalu (3 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT), Broncos CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
(5 tackles, 1 INT, 2 PD), Cardinals ILB Daryl Washington (6 tackles, 1 INT, 2
PD), Cardinals FS Tyrann Mathieu (7 tackles, 1 INT, 1 PD), Vikings MLB
Erin Henderson (14 tackles, 2 TFL), Buccaneers OLB Lavonte David (12 tackles, 1
sack, 1 TFL). Scott Cullen can be reached at Scott.Cullen@bellmedia.ca and

UFC fighter Shane Del Rosario died Monday, nearly two weeks after the
heavyweight had a heart attack. He was 30. The UFC and Del Rosarios family
announced his death. Del Rosario had been hospitalized in his native Orange
County since Nov. 26. "It has been truly amazing to realize just how many lives
Shane touched in such a positive way," Del Rosarios family said in a statement
released to The Associated Press. "As always, Shane fought hard, but it was his
time to go in peace. We will miss his huge smile, his huge bear hugs, his gift
of giving to others, and his Aloha spirit. He was larger than life." Del
Rosarios manager, Jason House, said the fighters doctors believe he had a
congenital heart disorder. Del Rosarios family is interested in starting a
charitable foundation to aid research on long QT syndrome, the heart condition
that may have contributed to the fighters sudden cardiac arrest last month. Del
Rosario had been a professional mixed martial artist since 2006, also competing
in kickboxing and muay thai competitions. He was the first American winner of
the WBC world heavyweight muay thai championship in 2007. He won his first 11
pro MMA bouts while competing in Strikeforce, M-1 Global annd other promotions
before moving last year to the UFC, where he lost his first two fights.
Steven Nelson Jersey. He was stopped by Stipe
Miocic and again by Pat Barry, his final opponent in December 2012. Del Rosario
was scheduled to fight at UFC 168 on Dec. 28, but pulled out last month with a
rib injury. "RIP to one of the best people Ive ever had the honour to have in my
life and call my best friend," UFC flyweight Ian McCall posted on his Twitter
account Monday. McCall was Del Rosarios roommate and teammate. Del Rosario
trained with Team Oyama in Irvine, Calif., and spent most of his summers with
his grandparents in Lanai City, Hawaii. He missed several months of MMA training
with a herniated disc after he was struck in a car accident in 2011, but
eventually resumed his career. The family said it will honour the fighters
desire to be an organ donor. "He was passionate about helping others and was
always there to offer a helping hand, a smile, and encouragement to anyone, not
only family and friends, but also to strangers," Del Rosarios family said in its
statement. "He always put others before himself and would give the shirt off his
back. He brought genuine joy and happiness to everyone he touched."
