Week 12 fantasy recap

Don’t forget the short week — I might not get a preview out for Week 13, but Tony Romo, Brett Favre and Terrell Owens are obvious must-starts. Back to Week 12 …

STARS
– Bears D/ST.
Two words: Devin Hester. The defense forced a few turnovers too.

– Chad Johnson, WR, Bengals. Ocho Cinco easily turned in his best game of the season, scoring three touchdowns and catching 12 passes for 105 yards. And admit it, you missed his post-TD antics.

–Kurt Warner, QB, Cardinals.
It was a Warner flashback to 1999 — Warner went 34-for-48 for 484 yards, two TDs yet two picks. And the Cards lost this game!

SURPRISES
– Kolby Smith, RB, Chiefs. With Larry Johnson sidelined, Priest Holmes very sidelined and Michael Bennett traded, Smith stepped up with 150 yards rushing and two TDs.

– A.J. Feeley, QB, Eagles.
Nobody saw this coming, particularly the Patriots: 345 passing yards and three touchdowns.

– Frank Gore, RB, 49ers. It’s sad when the No. 4 pick in many fantasy drafts turns in a surprise performance on Week 12. Gore rushed for 116 yards and scored two touchdowns, turning him from a supreme bust to simply a major bust.

SLOTHS
– Randy Moss, WR, Patriots:
Moss owners must have been disappointed by his non-superhuman numbers of five receptions, 43 yards, no touchdowns.

– Just about any Steeler or Dolphin.
OK, Willie Parker and Hines Ward weren’t all that bad., but it was a fantasy mudfest at Heinz Field. Mother Nature must have been playing someone (Heat Miser likes the Steelers — hope someone got that reference) with Ben Roethlisberger on his fantasy team.

– Eli Manning, QB, Giants. Too bad Eli didn’t have this four-interception game the same week his brother threw six — imagine 10 Manning interceptions in one day.
