NFL Week 6: Monday Night Game Wrapup

New York Giants at Atlanta Falcons

Eli Manning - 27/39, 303 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT. Manning was on fire early, picking up 199 yards and 2 TDs in the first half before crumbling like the little girl that Sheli is. Regardless of my dislike for this player, I own him as a backup on 2 teams, and he's a borderline QB1 startable in most matchups.

Brandon Jacobs - 13/86, 1/2. Jacobs suffered a shoulder burner on the first carry. came out, came back in later, ran all over the Falcons for a bit, and then left the game for good with a minor ankle injury. His durability is becoming a serious concern, and I'm debating trying to sell him. Droughns finished up in the blowout, and it's possible the Giants were featuring him for a potential trade, but with Jacobs and Ward both nursing injuries, it seems unlikely. Plus Droughns vultured a score.

Plaxico Burress - 6/97, 1 TD. Much like Allen Iverson, Burress hates practice as well, and who can blame him with what he's accomplished this season so far despite not practicing since week 2. He's hauled in 8 of Eli's 11 TD passes. He's a WR1.

Amani Toomer - 7/89, 1 TD. He's very inconsistent as is Eli, but he's usable in the right matchups. Consider him a solid WR4.

Jeremy Shockey - 5/63. He continues posting solid, but not spectacular games. Burress has emerged as the clearly preferred redzone target, and Shockey has only scored once.

Joey Harrington - 18/39, 209 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 1/1. Gross, again. It's only a matter of time before Leftwich is named the new Falcons starter.

Warrick Dunn - 8/15, 2/13. Dunn is more than living up to his name. Why they won't switch to Norwood is beyond me.

Jerious Norwood - 6/87, 4/51, 1 TD. Most of those receiving yards came on the last drive while the Giants were sitting in a prevent defense, so those aren't indicative of anything. Still, he busted out a beautiful 67 yard TD run, weaving his way through the secondary and outrunning the defense. His time has to be coming, right?

Roddy White - 4/64. White dropped a couple more passes, as he's best known for, but it's pretty impressive that he keeps posting solid yardage totals despite the drops and the recently poor QB play of Harrington. He's a solid WR4.

Joe Horn - 2/25. Joe needs to blow his own Horn and retire. He shouldn't be owned despite the name.
