It’s ironic that our last series of posts, which provided fantasy advice on players in high powered offenses, left out some of the highest scoring teams from this weekend. Sorry, but even a Raider faithful could not have predicted 59 points on the road against a division rival (or even at home against a junior college!). Add the Bills, Browns and Chiefs to the list of misfits that put up serious points, and we’re left with a “What the heck is going on?” week in the NFL.
With all the surprising performances from Sunday, there’s probably just one question you’re being asked: Did you start him??? Let’s see which experts loved (or hated) this week’s Sunday Studs. . .

Tomorrow we’ll show you which experts hit on their bold start/sit recommendations, and we’ll summarize the overall accuracy results on Wednesday. Meanwhile, check out the latest news and articles (including who to pick up off of waivers this week) at our fantasy advice portal, The Handoff.
If you have a MNF nail-biter tonight, good luck! I need 22.04 points from Hakeem Nicks and Felix Jones…I just hope it’s close enough to warrant some nail-biting in the fourth quarter.
