Turnovers are a normal part of the game of football, but Sunday may have set a weekly schedule high. Flashing and watching almost every game on Sunday, it seemed to be turnover after turnover. A lot of them were costly errors that not only blew games for teams with chances to win, but cost your fantasy teams those precious points you can’t afford to lose.

This week was so bad for turnovers that we’ve highlighted the top ten players of the week that could not avoid the costly mistakes. Usually we do not break out a list for this sort of article, but this week brings out a special occasion.

1. Kurt Warner
It was supposed to be an easy week for Warner. All of the signs were there for him to have a payback game against his old team. Instead he threw three interceptions, including one that he’ll never be able to explain ever. On top of that he fumbled a snap after the Cardinals had caught a break of a life time in the final two minutes of the game. Cardinals fans are already beginning the Leinart chants.

2. Frank Gore
For the second week in a row Gore fumbled on the opposing teams goal line. Then he got banged up during the game and saw Michael Robinson able to punch it in easily from a yard out. Now Gore’s rise as a fantasy player is sure to take a hit. The 49ers now know that Robinson can be the goal line back, as Gore sure has not proved it. His total yards will remain high but losing his touchdowns makes him a hard back to start on certain weeks.

3. Eli Manning
You’d think a comeback win like the Giants had against the Eagles would inspire a team. That wasn’t the case as Eli Manning came out looking to throw to Seahawk defenders. One thing Manning needs is a healthy Jeremy Shockey. He isn’t 100 percent and he needs Shockey to get that middle of the field back open. Right now he is just gunning towards the sidelines to his receivers that are doubled and triple teamed. It was just a horrific weekend for the Giants offense and defense.

4. Carson Palmer
If it were not for a couple of lucky fourth quarter plays people would be asking what was going on with Carson Palmer. His two interceptions were absolutely ridiculous. One came right after a pick off of Roethlisberger, on a play that Palmer left Chris Henry to get blasted into bits and pieces. He seemed to not have the pocket presence and awareness he needed in the pocket. The ticker in his head to get rid of the football was delayed by seconds every drop back. That resulted in numerous sacks and fumbles that were luckily recovered by the Bengals lineman most of the time.

5. Daunte Culpepper
For the owners that waited on a quarterback to draft by eyeing Daunte Culpepper as their main man, are sitting 0-3 in their fantasy leagues. This comes as no shocker that Culpepper is playing this bad. It’s called there is “No Moss” and “No Running Game”. He did this last year with the Vikings without Randy and it’s carried over to the Dolphins. To barely pull off a win at home against the Titans shows how poor Culpepper is at this state. If the Dolphins would have lost that game they would be announcing Harrington as the starter. We give it another week before a change is made.

6. Mark Brunell
Write it off as a late last gasp for Brunell. People that think he is revived with his record setting completion mark, forget about it. That completion record is fabulous but showing over a Texan team that also allowed Ladell Betts and Clinton Portis to run all over them. Every veteran quarterback has their last “hooray” game and this was it for Brunell.

7. Brad Johnson
Veteran quarterbacks can not have lapses towards the last part of the game. Johnson did a great job all day not turning the football over. So with under four minutes to go, he had to of known the Bears would try to commit a turnover. That game could have uplifted the Vikings more then people would imagine. Instead the defense that was playing great all day, suddenly buckled and gave up an easy deep route touchdown to the Bears.

8. Jon Kasay
Last week it was Rian Lindell shaking up the point board for kickers, and this week it was Jon Kasay. Kasay saved the Panthers from being 0-3 with four booming kicks. None of which were chip shots either. Two were fifty plus and the other two were in the high forties. There may be two or three kickers that would have been four for four on those kicks, and it truly shows how valuable a kicker is. Without those earlier makes, Carolina would have been trying to score a miracle touchdown with a desperate hail mary attempt.

9. Byron Leftwich
The Jaguars let one get away on Sunday and all of the blame should go on Byron Leftwich. Jacksonville was controlling the first half against the Colts, but went into the locker room tied at 7. When a team has chances to put away the Colts, you have to capitalize. On two drives deep into the Colts territory the Jaguars failed to do so. Leftwich threw a pick deep down in their territory one time, and another the Jags couldn’t punch it in inside the ten yard line. What made that drive even worse was the missed 26 yard field goal by Josh Scobee, who was 0 for 2 on the day.

10. Willis McGahee
He still can’t find the endzone. Fantasy owners have to be going nuts with the points McGahee is missing out from being end zone allergic. If he can’t reach the end zone against the Jets then McGahee is going to be a sure lock to have the least touchdowns out of the top twelve backs drafted in fantasy leagues.
