While there weren’t too many huge performances in Week 8 of the 2009 fantasy football season, there were a few that are worth mentioning. Here’s a look at the best fantasy football performances on Sunday.
QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Although Brett Favre will get all the attention, Aaron Rodgers actually had fantasy owners smiling even brighter after the game. Despite a plethora of pressure, Rodgers had 287 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and more than 50 yards rushing.
RB Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans
Chris Johnson has been all or nothing this year. Week 8 was one of his “all” games. With Vince Young now at quarterback, Johnson had 24 rushes for 228 yards and two touchdowns.
WR Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts
Coming into Week 8 of the 2009 fantasy football season, Reggie Wayne wasn’t completely healthy. But after his contest was all said and done, Wayne looked 100% healthy. He caught a career-high 12 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown.
TE Dustin Keller, New York Jets
Dustin Keller began the season strongly and then dropped off. But this week, he was the Jets’ best pass catcher. Keller had eight catches for 76 yards and a touchdown.
