DANNY AMENDOLA		MICHAEL CRABTREE
WR, ST. LOUIS LAST WK: W vs. DET, 17-10 Amendola suffered a concussion late in the Ram's victory; they are idle next week. He leads the NFC in kick returns (31) and is second in yardage (745); has 15 catches for 128 yards.		WR, SAN FRANCISCO LAST WK: L vs. IND, 14-18 Crabtree started for the second straight week, and surpassed last week's numbers with six catches for 81 yards. It wasn't all good, though, as lost a key fumble in the third quarter.
KEYUNTA DAWSON		DYLAN GANDY
DT, INDIANAPOLIS LAST WK: W vs. SF, 18-14 Dawson played, but did not start, against the 49ers. He did not register any stats. Indianapolis struggled to contain San Francisco's run game, giving up 113 yards on just 18 carries.		OL, DETROIT LAST WK: L vs. STL, 10-17 Gandy did not start for the Lions on Sunday but saw several snaps against St. Louis. The Lions rushed for 127 yards on 33 carries and gave up two sacks against the Rams
JOSELIO HANSON		DANIEL LOPER
CB, PHILADELPHIA LAST WK: W vs. NYG, 40-17 Hanson did not start for the Eagles on Sunday, but did see quite a bit of action against the Giants. He logged three tackles, a pass deflection and a special teams stop.		OL, DETROIT LAST WK: L vs. STL, 10-17 Loper returned to the inactive list after starting Detroit's previous game in place of Manny Ramirez. The Lions rushed for 127 yards on 33 carries and gave up two sacks against the Rams
DARCEL MCBATH		SAMMY MORRIS
DB, DENVER LAST WK: L vs. BAL, 7-30 McBath played against the Ravens, mostly on special teams, and did not make an impact on the box score. The Broncos allowed Baltimore QB Joe Flacco to complete 20 of his 25 passes.		RB, NEW ENGLAND LAST WK: BYE Morris left New England's win over Tennessee with a knee injury that has sidelined him indefinitely. On the season, he is the Patriots' third-leading rusher with 109 yards and a score on 30 attempts.
MANNY RAMIREZ		LOUIS VASQUEZ
OL, DETROIT LAST WK: L vs. STL, 10-17 Ramirez spent his second-straight game on the inactive list after starting the previous four contests. The Lions rushed for 127 yards on 33 carries and gave up two sacks against the Rams.		L, SAN DIEGO LAST WK: W vs. OAK, 24-16 Vasquez started his fourth straight game at RG for San Diego on Sunday. In five games of action this year, the rookie has been called for zero penalties and given up just one sack.
WES WELKER		BRANDON WILLIAMS
WR, NEW ENGLAND LAST WK: BYE Even though Welker has missed two games, he is still second in the AFC in catches (Reggie Wayne, 51). On the season, Welker has 46 catches for 484 yards and four touchdowns.		LB, DALLAS LAST WK: W vs. SEA, 38-17 Williams tore his ACL during his first preseason game and will miss the entire 2009 season. Before going down with the injury, Williams was battling for playing time at outside linebacker.
