Eric Ebron (Tight End/Detroit Lions): Ebron caught 4/5 passes and has a TD for the Lions suddenly anemic offense. The Lions could barely get anything going and will likely lean on Ebron more as Calvin Johnson get regresses.

Ladarius Green (Tight End/ San Diego Chargers): Green was a man on a mission on Sunday; he went 5/6 for 74 yards and a touchdown. Green was thought to be ruled out due to a concussion however he was a surprise game time decision. Green made the most of his opportunities and with Antonio Gates returning Green might see this as his last shot to make an impact.

Stevie Johnson (Wide Receiver/San Diego Chargers): Johnson made an immediate impact on the Chargers catching 6/6 passes and a touchdown. Johnson received high praise in the offseason for his work with Philip Rivers and how he will become a natural fit to this team. Now it appears Johnson will have immediate value become one of Rivers most reliable options.

Danny Woodhead (Running Back/San Diego Chargers): Danny Woodhead was absolutely electric on Sunday scoring 2 touchdowns and finishing up with 42 yards, and 4 receptions for 20 yards. Woodhead looked a lot better than the first round draft pick Melvin Gordon who did not get into the end zone once. Woodhead is the passing down back and is actually more of a weapon than an actual every down running back especially in PPR leagues.
