QB matt stafford 3/15 houston texans 14/27 51.85 220 8.15 41 2 2 1 73.1
matt benefits from being the only rookie starter now sanchez has gone down for the season

RB beanie wells 2/05 baltimore ravens 119/545 4.58 4/22 5.50
beanie has been dominant on the ground but not used to much in passing game needs to keep up pace as mike goodson is just behind

FB tony fiametta 2/08 new york jets 8/18 2.25 2/18 9.0 19 pancakes 0 sacks
full back field was closely contested with no one excelling in run game or receiving,but fiamettas dominant run blocking gave him the edge

WR michael crabtree 1/04 seattle seahawks 15/258 17.20 3/1 5 pancakes
crabtree drafted early and hes playing like a str as seahawks edge out in front in nfc west,crabtree has more tds and less drops so #1 receiver in line up

WR darrius heywood-bey 3/23 cincinnati bengals 15/346 23.07 3/2 1 pancake.darrius makes starting line up ahead of ramsis barden due to his deep threat and big play potential,we noticed during this article how cincy gm isnt afraid of blooding his youngsters

TE jared cook 1/07 indianapolis colts 17/340 20.00 2/3 10 pancakes 1 sack allowed.cook sneaks in just against brandon pettigrew purely on his reciving performance,makes you think how scary his figures would have been if sanchez didnt go down injured

LT eugene monroe 2/06 houston texans 18/1 pretty solid start on most difficult position on oline

LG andy levitre 1/16 cleveland browns 16/1 another solid start to rookie campaign although high things were expected from levitre

C alex mack 1/24 buffalo bills 19/1 great start for mack with a pan/sack ratio of 19.1 still lucky to just hold off eric wood

RG xavier fulton 1/29 detroit lions 14/5.no this isnt detroit bias theres literally no competition at RG his pathetic 2.80 pan/sack ratio leads right guards

RT sebastian vollmer 2/13 cleveland browns 20/0 rookie leading pan/sack ratio,vollmer has attributes/performance cant see anyone getting near this guy in rookie RT race

LE larry english 1/21 cincinnati bengals 10 4 2 english another product of bengals youth strategy plenty of opportunities and great success on field

RE lawrence sidbury 4/5 jacksonville jaguars 2 1 0,unfortuinately sidburys inclusion is bit by default hes only registered 2 tackles on the season but no one else is starting RE rookie that out performs him,

DT senderrick marks 2/27 oakland raiders 10 1 3 1 this guy is a wrecking ball at interior of raiders line,3 sacks and forced fumbled indicate great nose for the football as well as great physical attributes

DT bj raji 1/28 indianapolis colts 9 1 1 raji is performing very well but gets over shadowed by marks performance despite getting drafted earlier ill be very surprised if its not these guys tyeaming up in all rookie team at seasons end

LOLB brian cushing 2/19 new york jets 13 1 1 4 great start from cushing who not only racks up tackles but has been solid inj pass defence as well contributing 1 pick and 4 deflections

MLB james laurinaitis 1/2 kansas city chiefs 30 6 1 2 1 4 .no surprise here was arguably best player in the draft class and has come into a situation where hes given opportunity to start and shine,can only see his numbers rapidly growing and we could potentiaqlly be looking at rookie of the year here

ROLB aaron maybin 2/26 minnesota vikings 25 4 1 4 there were concerns about maybins weight holding up in the run game but so far this seems unjustified,

CB kevin barnes 1/6 houston texans 19 1 3 barnes has snared 3 picks and thorughly deserves his place in the team after 5 weeks good physical attributes great start on the field whats not too love

CB derik cox 1/5 dallas cowboys 19 2 2 1td cox was selected early but has justified selection matching barnes tackle total with 1 less pick but he has returned one to the house,expect barnes and cox to feel pressure from smith when he finds his groove

FS glover quin 3/8 cincinnati bengals 7 tackles,another bengal youngster performing well,but this isnt as impressive as other bengals,quin sorta wins this by default as other free safeties not performing

SS patrick chung 1/26 cincinati bengals 19 1 you guessed it another bengal this time chung is worthy of his spot 19 tackles and 1 deflection are good as he organsises this young tandem

K ryan succop 6/21 houston texans strange start for succop nailing 100% on field goals but missing 2 extra points,nothing spectacular here

P no rookies have contributed in punting stats

KR cedric peerman 4/25 jacksonville jaguars 29/651/22.45 outstanding job from 4th round back up running back

PR brandon tate 5/18 chicago bears 10/73/7.3 solid job from this late round flyer never easy to get punt returns going
