Bleacher Report Quick Pick Challenge - Week 8


QB - The Bengals have turned it around and Andy Dalton has really stepped up.  Rookie Quarterbacks don't usually play this well in the NFL.  But some guys make the adjustment.

RB - Demarco Murray burst on the national stage with big production last week.  He broke for over 200 yards in last week's game.  So you had to start him to see if he would have a repeat performance.  Philly held him to under 100 yards.

WR - Steve Smith is putting up numbers with Cam Newton at QB.  They might not have a lot of wins but they produce highlights and those loses will turn into wins in the future.  Smith is a talented wide receiver and you expect him to do well each week.

TE - Brandon Pettigrew is the tight end for Detroit.  He is a big target and can get open.  Teams look for Calvin Johnson but they should not ignore Pettigrew.  He didn't get used much against the Broncos.

Team - Cincinnati has turned the page and they seem to be on the right track. Seattle is still going through changes.  The Bengals just seemed to have more talent and a better performing offense.
