Which athletes got under your skin this week with horrible play? Notjustagame breaks it down.

Quarterbacks

Daunte Culpepper
An already horrible year for fantasy owners turned into a knife in the back. All of the owners that drafted Culpepper with their first overall pick are in disbelief. Now owners will have to pick up Brad Johnson; or rely on a backup that they drafted late because they thought they could start Culpepper for fifteen games.

Brett Favre
Five interceptions is not misleading in this scenario. Favre somehow didn’t care about his interceptions, and still played with the same guts. At least any funk Favre will be in won’t have week to week symptoms. He will always give it his all. Even when it looks like he should give up, his drive deep puts Green Bay in range to almost overcome his interceptions.

Josh McCown
Dennis Green never declared McCown starter for the remainder of the season. His last two weeks have been reason enough to bring Kurt Warner back. This past week against Dallas, McCown was off on almost every throw. At one point it seemed like the Cardinals would close the gap of a 24-13 deficit. Then McCown threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown, and that was it. McCown is down to one more quarter to prove himself, if that.

Mark Brunell
Just when fantasy owners were deciding to give Brunell a chance, the Redskins and Brunell faltered completely. Brunell only had 65 yards and the offense was on complete inoperative mode. The offense can’t get any worse, but the disappointment of this game will be instilled in the Redskins mind until they get another chance against the Giants.

Running Backs

Clinton Portis
One fantasy point deserves no more attention.

Carnell Williams
Returning to action against the 49ers was expected to be a fabulous return for Williams. Instead he was shut down and looks like he isn’t 100 percent just yet. Williams needs to get somewhere back to his previous level but Tampa Bay may continue to limit his carries for the next couple of weeks.

Brian Westbrook
His involvement in the Eagles offense is at an all time low. Last week the Eagles didn’t use him much because they were getting blown out. He did have 100 all purpose yards against the Broncos. Still, he hasn’t been used that much and the grumblings he has done haven’t helped. The Eagles need to get rebalanced with the element of Westbrook getting more touches added.

Wide Receivers

Michael Clayton
Clayton’s disappearance in the Buccaneers offense is the biggest mystery this season. Every week he is missing, and Joey Galloway is the one reaping the benefits. Clayton’s rookie year was definitely overachieving. After this season there will be more of a figure to look at to expect from Clayton.

Lee Evans
Just like his former rookie buddy above, Evans has been overshadowed by veteran Eric Moulds. Evans is not having solid week to week performances but should recoup before the end of the season.

Steve Smith
For Smith to keep up with these career day performances is unbelievable. He has been the best receiver this season, and looks unstoppable. His level of play is reminiscent of what Moss was doing when he first entered the league.
