Sunday Surprises and Busts

Surprises

QB - Terrelle Pryor -- Pryor made some huge plays keeping the play alive and delivering passes on the run in key situations to keep the Raiders in the game vs the Colts on Sunday.  Pryor ran for 112 yards and threw for another 217 with a touchdown and two interceptions.  His passing numbers don't look great but a 40 yard touchdown pass was reversed when Mcfadden was an inch out of bounds and his last interception was at the end of the game in a desperation throw downfield.

RB - Shane Vereen -- The Patriots change of pace back really filled up the stat sheet with 101 yards on only carries and 58 receiving yards on 7 catches.  The starter Ridley really struggled with fumbles and wasn't effective.

WR - Julian Edlemen -- He looked like the Bills biggest problem at reciever as most of the hype in New England has been around Amendola and Thomkins, Edlemen had a big game.  He hauled in 7 catches for 79 yards and 2 touchdowns.  Brady looks for Edlemen in the slot and in the red zone often.


TE - Jordan Cameron -- There were many breakout TEs but Cameron looks like he could be the next biggest TE of the bunch as he racked up 108 yards and 9 catches and a touchdown.  He also seems to be Weden's favorite target.

Busts

QB - Ben Roethlisberger -- Me and many others expected fairly big things from Roethlisverger this week but the Steelers looked horrible.  Big Ben had only 191 yards passing with an interception and a late game touchdown pass.

RB - There were so many I am just going to list top 25 fantasy RBs that had under 50 yards rushing and no TDs: CJ Spiller, Marshawn Lynch, Darrren Sproles, Mark Ingram, David Wilson, Steven Ridley, Maurice Jones-Drew, Trent Reichardson.


WR - Mike Wallace -- Wallace got only 5 targets Sunday and made one catch for 15 yards while Haartline had a huge game with 114 yards and a score.  Wallace had bad body language and looked upset even though his team won the game.

TE - Kyle Rudolph -- He had just 2 catches for 27 yards for a TE that you drafted in the top 8 TE range probably.  I wouldn't be concerned about him though because he was heavily targeted last season.
