Prime Time Players: Week 6

Vernon Davis, TE, 49ers
What is this, the playoffs? Historic postseason overachiever Davis — who has 22 catches for 546 yards (24.8 ypc) and five TDs in five career playoff games — was dominant in a 32–20 win over Arizona. The 6'3", 250-pound physical freak had eight receptions for 180 yards (22.5 ypc) and a pair of second-quarter TDs covering 61 and 35 yards, respectively. Despite missing one game to injury, Davis has 22 catches for 404 yards (18.4 ypc) and six TDs in five games. With the Niners starved for pass-catchers, Davis’ play has been solid gold.

Justin Blackmon, WR, Jaguars
The most lopsided matchup in NFL history — at least on paper pregame — had the winless Jaguars as 28-point underdogs on the road against the unbeaten Broncos. And while Jacksonville did lose 35–19, there were a few bright spots to take away from the Mile High defeat. Blackmon hauled in 14 catches for 190 yards in a career effort for the second-year wideout out of Oklahoma State. Following a four-game suspension, Blackmon has 19 receptions for 326 yards (17.2 ypc) and a 67-yard TD in the two games he has played this season. The clawless Jaguars also scored a defensive TD and forced the Broncos’ first punt of October.

Tamba Hali, LB, Chiefs
Undefeated Kansas City continued to steamroll through all comers, crushing AFC West rival Oakland, 24–7, to improve to 6–0 this year. The Chiefs defense led the way with 10 sacks and three INTs of Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Hali paced the pass-rushers with 3.5 sacks for 30.5 lost yards. He was joined in the sack party by Derrick Johnson (2.0 sacks), Eric Berry (1), Tyson Jackson (1), Justin Houston (1), Mike Catapano (1) and Husain Abdullah (0.5).

LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles
Chip Kelly’s fast-paced offense was off and running during a 31–20 road win at Tampa Bay. McCoy had 25 carries for 116 yards (4.6 ypc) to go along with two catches for 55 yards. The league’s leading rusher, McCoy has 630 yards and a 99-yard cushion over second-leading rusher Arian Foster (531 yards). “Shady” was not Philly’s only big playmaker on Sunday, however. Backup quarterback Nick Foles threw for 296 yards with three scoring strikes — two to DeSean Jackson and another to Riley Cooper — while subbing for the injured Michael Vick.
