Players on rise for week 5:
studs - D.Willy, MoJo
Mark Sanchez, Santonio Holmes, LT - Jets
Peyton Hillis - Browns
Mark Clayton - Rams
Kevin Kolb, LeSean McCoy - Eagles
Ryan Torain - Redskins

Players on decline for week 5:
Eagles wide receivers - if Kolb gets the start, gotta hope for him to
look down the field besides dumping ball to McCoy
Braylon Edwards - Holmes is back
Jay Culter - ouch, Giants D-line sure dealt him a knock-out punch.
9 sacks and a concussion
Michael Vick - rib injury
Ryan Mathews - Tolbert is stepping up for Chargers rushing offense
Jerome Harrison - his injury came at the wrong time as he was competing for
#1 RB position
Clinton Portis - watchout, Torain is chasing after you for #1 RB position
Brandon Jackson - after all the hype, where is the productivity?!
Demaryius Thomas - he sure has talent but... Brandon Lloyd and Eddie Royal
hauling passes from Orton. Boy, what a tough situation he is in.
Matt Schaub - Andre Johnson missed out in week 4 with Texans running the
ball extremely well, it wouldn't be surprising if Texans slowly transform
into similar of those 2008 Carolina Panthers
Aaron Rodgers - What's wrong? 6 INTs in 2010 already(7 INTs in 2009). Well he
will score plenty of points for his owners though.
