Week 5 Positional Rankings
QB- Aaron Rodgers
RB- Arian Foster
WR- Calvin Johnson
TE- Rob Gronkowski
If the last couple weeks have shown anything, do not sit any stud gametime decisions. Last week the owners of Beanie Wells were burned badly if they placed the oft-injured Cardinals RB on the bench for what they assumed was a safer play and the same can be said this week for the owners of Big Ben Roethlisberger. After being shown limping around the field in pre-game warmups, number 7 had his best performance of the season with 228 passing yards and 5 touchdowns against a talented Titans defense.
Chris Johnson - RB - Tennessee Titans
Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson said Sunday, Oct. 9, that he suffered tightness in his hamstring in the fourth quarter of the Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. 'I was set to go back in,' Johnson said, 'but they didn't want to injure it more knowing that the game was pretty much out of hand.' (Huddle.com)
