Prime Performers Week Eight

QB – Drew Brees – ThUnder Dawgs – 47.54

511 Passing Yards
7 Passing TD
1 Interception
1 Rushing Yard
This was a game to remember. Football fans around the nation had to double check and make sure it was NFL Sunday, and not Oklahoma State vs. Texas Tech with the 101 combined points scored and 13 passing TDs. Bree outlasted Eli, but Eli deserves a little love for his effort. It’s easy to believe ThUnder Dawgs rolled this week on the wings of Brees’ effort.

RB1 – Todd Gurley – Todd Bowles’ Gut – 20.6

133 Rushing Yards
Rushing TD
13 Receiving Yards
Gurley has separated himself from the rest of the rookie RB class. Amari Cooper is having a heck of a rookie season, but Gurley is clearly the class of this year’s draft.

RB2 – Charcanderick West – Pierce’s Getaway Carr – 18.2

97 Rushing Yards
Rushing TD
25 Receiving Yards
Emerging from the ashes of a Kansas City running game in peril, West has taken hold of the RB duties in Kansas City. If he can keep up this kind of production, West could prove to be one of the biggest impact waiver wire acquisitions of the season.

WR1 – Odell Beckham Jr. – Bicoastals – 31

130 Receiving Yards
3 Receiving TD
Odell’s week eight was a thing of beauty, but it wasn’t enough to carry the Giants or the Bicoastals to victory.

WR2 – Tavon Austin – The Meatsticks – 21.9

21 Rushing Yards
Rushing TD
98 Receiving Yards
Receiving TD
Fumble Lost
Tavon Austin is one hell of an athlete, and his abilities came through in week eight. The Austin / Gurley tandem could be lethal for St. Louis for years to come.

WR3 – Malcom Floyd – Tenacious tD – 21.2

92 Receiving Yards
2 Receiving TD
Floyd has been quiet all season, but with the injury to Keenan Allen, he could see an expanded role for the rest of the season. It’s been that kind of season for Tenacious tD, as Floyd rode the pine in week eight.

TE – Benjamin Watson – Kissing Wendi Nix – 20.7

147 Receiving Yards
Receiving TD
There isn’t a happier TE in the league now that Graham is in Seattle than Benjamin Watson. He’s been consistently playing well for a few weeks now, and could be among the top TEs in fantasy by seasons end.

K – Justin Tucker – Terwilliger – 20

1-39 yards – 2
40-49 yards – 3
PAT – 2
PICTURED: Philip Rivers wants to murder Justin Tucker.

DEF – Houston – The Meatsticks – 20

6 Points Allowed
7 Sacks
1 Interception
2 Fumble Recoveries
A team playing the Titans had the best defensive week in the league? You don’t say.
