2011 Fantasy Football: Week 9
Tuesday, November 8th, 2011Greetings everyone,
Week 9 in the NFL was a very exciting one. Weekly fantasy football managers got to enjoy the shootout between Green Bay and San Diego. Philip Rivers had easily his best game of the season with 385 yards and 4 touchdown passes. His score of 30 would have been higher if it weren’t for his 3 picks! Vincent Jackson had a huge day as well with 7 catches for 145 yards and 3 TD’s. Whoever had that QB/receiver combo on their fantasy team this week must have surely won their game.
Aaron Rodgers had a monstrous day too, throwing 4 touchdowns on 247 yards. Julio Jones finally broke through and caught the first touchdown passes of his young career. He finished the day with 3 catches for 131 yards and 2 scores. Arian Foster, Mike Tolbert, Michael Bush and Reggie Bush also had big Sundays with over 20 Fantazzle points each.
Kevin Faulk had a solid showing in week 8, and was supposed to play in week 9, but was ruled inactive just before kick off. In a time where bye weeks are still with us, Faulk could have been a nice fill-in play. Hakeem Nicks missed game action this week with a hamstring injury. It sounds as if he should be able to play in week 10. Malcom Floyd missed his game against the Packers with an ailing hip. Too bad though, he could have been a part of that shootout, but instead all the numbers went to Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates.
Joseph Addai was active for his game against the Falcons, but didn’t record a single carry or catch. Addai is dealing with a hamstring issue himself. I wouldn’t recommend him for any weekly salary cap fantasy football games even when healthy at this point. Ahmad Bradshaw was ruled out for week 9′s game against New England as he deals with a broken bone in his foot. It won’t require surgery, yet, but is the kind of nagging injury that can limit his production for the rest of the season. Brandon Jacobs shouldered the load with 18 carries, 72 yards, a touchdown and even added 4 catches for 28 yards.
