Fantasy Football Week in Review - Week 6

Curtis Painter may not have led the Colts to any wins yet, but he helped Corn on the Kolb win their 4th game of the year this weekend. Earnest Graham gained over 100 yards on the ground for Tampa Bay, Billy Cundiff kicked 5 field goals and the Jets defense finally turned in a respectable performance again as we cruised to a 40+ point win. Not all the news was good though as Jahvid Best apparently started suffering concussion symptoms after Detroit's loss to San Francisco. With the Eagles on a bye next week this leaves us a little short-handed at running back headed into Week 7 which I'm not crazy about. It's ok though, we've still got Reggie Bush...



Here's a look at who the top performers were at each position in Week 6:

QB - Aaron Rodgers and the Packers improved to 6-0 with a 24-3 win over the Rams on Sunday. Rodgers continued his strong 2011 campaign throwing for 310 yards and 3 touchdowns as he eclipsed 2000 yarsd on the season.  Fantasy Points: 25

WR - Devin Hester returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown and caught a 48 yard touchdown pass from Jay Cutler as he had by far his most productive game of the season. Fantasy Points: 27
