NFL Week 5 - Sunday Studs

Kyle Orton - QB - Chicago Bears

How far he’s come.  Orton completed 24-34 passes for 334 yards, 2 TD’s, and a QB rating of 121.4.  Guys who are playing the woeful Lions usually get a downgrade on their performance, but when Kyle Orton throws for 334 yards against anybody he has to be in there with the Sunday Studs.  The Bears offense looks, dare I say, good?  Although his performance Sunday was pretty, I made sure to include this picture to remind you that his physical appearance is anything but…contrary to whatever Lindsay Lohan tells you.

Clinton Portis

Portis graces the Sunday Studs list for the 2nd week in a row after another week of solid numbers (29 carries, 145 yards, TD).  More importantly, the Redskins won against an NFC East opponent for the 2nd week in a row.  The last 5 weeks Portis has put up great yardage (84, 96, 68, 121, 145) and is no doubt the main reason behind the ‘Skins success.  He’s also very entertaining.

Brandon Jacobs

In one of the less entertaining games of the week, Jacobs ran wild on the Seahawks D for a YPC of 9.1 (15 carries, 136 yards, 2 TD’s) as the Giants cruised 44-6.  Expect the Giants to maintain the #1 spot in the Power Rankings tomorrow night.

Reggie Wayne

His stats won’t get you overly excited (7 catches, 97 Yards, TD), but his game winning catch in the Colts comeback victory over the Texans is worth watching at least 5 times…ok, 6.

Deangelo Williams

It pains me to have him on this list, because I just dropped him in my fantasy league.  Of course he rewards me by scoring 2 TD’s on the ground, and 1 through the air.  I don’t see a scenario for him to make this list for the rest of the season, so I figured I’d give him deserved props in Week 5.
