You’ve heard this before, but this is why you always play your studs. Calvin Johnson has led the world this season in being tackled at the 1-yard line. No, seriously. Elias passed along this note before the start of NFL Fantasy Live on Sunday which said Megatron had been tackled at the 1-yard line after four of his catches. And each time, the Lions ran the ball in each time, and did not go to Johnson.

It’s no secret that I’ve been high on the Bucs all season. I wrote about their sudden transformation in the summer, then picked Greg Schiano as my coach of the year candidate. But too often, they’ve earned hard-fought, tough losses instead of wins. It made them a quick team to forget about when it comes to the playoff picture. But did last night change things? Did their 36-17 beatdown of the home Vikings alter their course? Forget about being a rare road team to win on Thursday… though they are. They took down a 5-2 team in a game that wasn’t close with the nation watching in the best way.

Here’s a look back at the top storylines from Week 7.

When it comes to fashion, our NFL stars might not go all out like their NBA counterparts. If the September issue of GQ is any indication, however, we are going to see more style off the field this season. Here’s the best fashion from Week 1:

Doug Williams became the first post-merger African-American quarterback selected in round one of the NFL draft in 1978 when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers grabbed the Grambling State signal caller with the 17th pick.

Cam Newton and Robert Griffin III were drafted No. 1 and No. 2 overall, respectively, in the past two NFL drafts.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend Derrick Brooks weighs in on the fantasy football impact current Bucs players can have in 2012.

Packers wideout Greg Jennings sees 8-10 touchdowns in his future, but he has some exciting predictions when it comes to his fellow Packers teammates.

Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers is expected to have a bounce-back year in 2012, but will he be able to overcome the loss of Vincent Jackson?

Beanie Wells has value as a No. 2 fantasy runner, but another knee surgery is definitely cause for at least some concern.

Former Colts executive Bill Polian knows what a special quarterback looks like, having drafted four-time MVP Peyton Manning.

Newly-acquired WR Vincent Jackson will help the Buccaneers pass attack, but his fantasy value has taken a slight hit.

Jamaal Charles might find himself with some company in the Chiefs backfield, just one of several changes the team could be poised to make.

Ahmad Bradshaw could return Sunday. That’s good news for both the Giants and fantasy owners, especially with injuries to WRs potentially limiting New York’s offense.

With Reggie Bush, Michael Bush and Chris Ogbonnaya having good days, running back controversies could be brewing in a few different NFL locker rooms. That and more in the Week 11 fantasy feedback blog.

In this week’s Fantasy Faux Pas Monday blog, fantasy owners found themselves crossed up over the Tim Hightower versus Ryan Torain conundrum.
