Yeah, to be honest I don't know why Westbrook isn't one of the guys ever mentioned to go 2nd in fantasy drafts as a RB. I suppose he maybe doesn't get quite the number of TD's but he's one of the top backs in the league for sure. Last year the McNabb injury forced the Eagles to really feature Westbrook more and it helped them. Mind you tonight the Eagles were pretty banged up with a pro bowl safety and CB out, a pro bowl back, and a starting LT. Take those pieces away from any NFL team put them on the road in a division rivals house and they're going to struggle.

So far I think the Pats and Colts are miles ahead of anyone. But the next grouping of teams probably has Dallas, Green Bay, Seattle in the mix. Even Tampa Bay has been pretty impressive so far although Caddilac Williams injury could hurt. I have to say that after the Pats and Colts that the NFC is right there or better than the rest of the AFC.
