Week 16 superstars

Since it's championship week, let's give a little extra love and recognize four major superstars that could have led teams to titles: Patriots QB Tom Brady came out of a funk and threw 4 TD passes. Randy Moss, who only had 4 receptions, made them count as he hauled in 3 of Brady's 4 TDs. Carolina RB Jonathan Stewart took advantage of DeAngelo Williams' absence and gashed the listless Giants to the tune of 206 yards with 1 score. Finally, Falcons WR Roddy White bounced back from a rough Week 15 with 8 catches for 139 yards and 2 TDs.

Week 16 weaklings

If you were Peyton Manning or Reggie Wayne owners, your greatest fears were realized. Both did next to nothing in about 2½ quarters, then were pulled and the subs were run over by the Jets. If your team survived despite what Manning (192 yards, no TDs) and Wayne (33 yards) gave you, congrats because that's one deep team.
