Best Team of the Week : San Diego Chargers -- The last of the Big Ben/Eli Manning class of quarterbacks has had his start. And while Rivers didn't go for big giant plays for the majority of the game, he showed that he has what it takes to take the helm for the San Diego Chargers and that he can make the big plays when asked to do so. The rest of the Chargers offensive line had a great game, LT had one, and the Chargers defense held up their end of the bargain. That makes the Chargers my favorite team of the week.

Worst Team of the Week: Oakland Raiders -- The Oakland Raiders start off the season again proving why they will once again be the number one team. No, not for anything good, but instead for the team with the most penalties against them. Anytime the Raiders attempted to get momentum going, they would screw themselves over with a penalty. They rushed the kicker not once, but twice. Furthermore, the Raiders' ammount of total yards was pathetic and they only managed to up that stat in the last minute of the game, but it was for nothing. The Raiders, who have been shut out at home only one time before, are my biggest loser of the week.



1. Chad Pennington -- Face it, for most people Chad Pennington was everyone's surprise of the week. He was mine too. He had an amazing day with 319 passing yards and two touchdowns.

2. Donovan McNabb -- For fantasy team owners, McNabb was the best choice you could have made this week for fantasy points. He had an amazing game with three touchdowns and 314 passing yards. He came back with a vengence to tumble Houston.

3. Baltimore Defensive Line -- They had an amazing game that shocked nearly everyone to give them their first road win of the season. The defense deserves a lot of credit for shutting out Tampa Bay, a Super Bowl contender pick by many. Additionally, they earned three sacks, recovered three interceptions and scored one defensive touchdown.

4. Larry Coles -- Coles was right in line with Pennington from the start of the game. He received almost half of the passing yards, 153, that Pennington threw for on Sunday. While he didn't turn them into touchdowns, 153 receiving yards puts him at number one for this stat on Sunday.

5. St. Louis Defensive Line -- If it wasn't for the St. Louis’ defensive line grabbing up those five Denver turnovers on Sunday, that game could have been a completely different story than it was, especially since St. Louis couldn't capitalize in the red zone.



1. Jake Plummer -- Jake started this season as he did last season -- off to the bad start. Didn't anyone tell him that first impressions really matter? And why Jake may recover, he shows why he always chokes when it really matters.

2. Drew Bledsoe -- If there's one QB fans are turning on quicker than they did Plummer, that man is Drew Bledsoe. They are already calling for Tony Romo to replace him.

3. Joey Galloway -- While the entire day proved to be a loss for Tampa Bay, something can be said by the fact that Joey Galloway was only targeted three times, failed to catch any balls, even managing to drop one of the passes.

4.Tampa Bay Defense -- They gave up twenty-one points and allowed Baltimore to just completely run them over.

5. Shaun Alexander -- Despite being considered the number one RB in the NFL by many and the number 1 fantasy draft pick, Shaun had a poor showing in Detroit with only 51 yards rushing on 19 carries, with no touchdowns. But fantasy fans, don't give up yet, he had a poor showing in last year's opener too.
