Drew Brees, 412 pass yds, 5 pass TDs, 4 rush yds
Drew “Cool” Brees already has more yards passing and touchdowns in 2011 than Tom Brady did all of last year when he won the MVP.  Even though Brees won’t win the award, he could help you win your fantasy league.  And that’s more important.

Matthew Stafford, 391 pass yds, 4 pass TDs, 5 rush yds
Stafford saved the Lions’ season, and plenty of fantasy seasons too, by tossing a pair of TDs late in the fourth quarter against the Raiders.

Someone needs to tell Big Ben that it's only impressive if you play hurt and perform well.  If you play hurt and perform poorly, it makes you look like an overrated, foolish QB on Monday Night Football.

Philip Rivers, 270 pass yds, pass TD
In a week when the majority QBs (that you’d consider starting) were at least decent, Rivers was one of the worst.  Surprisingly though, he did not throw an interception.

Mark Sanchez, 150 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 2 INTs, 3 rush yds
“Every now and then, the Sanchize has a game where he scores a ton of fantasy points.  If you have Sanchez on your bench or if the guy you’re going up against starts him, he’ll have a fantastic game.  If you play him, he’ll throw for around 200 yards and have two picks.  Those are the rules.”—Champs & Chumps: Week 14.  I warned you not to start Sanchez.

LeSean McCoy, 102 rush yds, 3 rush TDs, -5 rec yds, fumble lost
In a year of running back injuries (Jamaal Charles, Adrian Peterson, Arian Foster) and disappointments (Chris Johnson), McCoy had a monster fantasy season and didn’t fail to deliver when it counted most.

C.J. Spiller, 91 rush yds, rush TD, 76 rec yds, rec TD
If your name is Clifford Spiller Jr., you’d better be an NFL running back or you’re going to be made fun of for being named after a big red dog.

Reggie Bush, 203 rush yds, rush TD, 6 rec yds, fumble lost
He’s no longer just Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend.  He is Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend who is helping your fantasy football team.

Ray Rice, 57 rush yds, 55 rec yds
Like McCoy, Rice was one of the few first round fantasy picks who lived up to expectations this year.  Unlike McCoy, he let those who drafted him down this weekend.  That’s not cool, Ray Rice.

Adrian Peterson, 60 rush yds
You should’ve known better than to hinge your fantasy hopes on the shoulders of a Minnesota Viking.

Calvin Johnson, 214 rec yds, 2 rec TDs
“Alvin and the Chipmonks” came in second at the box office this weekend.  “Calvin and the Lions” will come in second in the NFC North this season.  Mostly thanks to Calvin.

Roddy White, 135 rec yds, 2 rec TDs
Weeks 1-11: Two TDs.  Weeks 12-15: 5 TDs.  Roddy White knows that it’s fantasy football playoff time.

Victor Cruz, 44 rec yds
Victor Cruz had a game in which he performed like everyone thought he would before the start of the season…you know, before people knew who he was.

Wes Welker, 41 rec yds
Welker didn’t catch a touchdown against the Broncos, but Chad Ochocinco did.  The only person who might’ve predicted that is Ochocinco.

Brent Celek, 156 rec yds, rec TD
If you started a tight end who had 60 total yards the previous two weeks since he was going to be facing a Jets’ defense that’s awful against tight ends, then I give you credit, fine sir.

Aaron Hernandez, 16 rush yds, 129 rec yds, rec TD
We expected a Patriots’ tight end to have a monster game this week; we just didn’t think it’d be Aaron Hernandez.

Rob Gronkowski, 53 rec yds
Gronk played a nasty trick on all the fantasy owners who picked him up off the waiver wire early in the season.  Actually, we should probably blame Tom Brady.
