LEGENDARY CONTENDERS



KURT WARNER, QB - Arizona Cardinals (361 Passing Yards, 3 Touchdowns, 158.3 Passer Rating)

Card to Grab - 1999 Playoff Contenders #146



Heading into the season, another former MVP QB was getting all the headlines about playing this late in his career. Warner is no spring chicken, but he's playing like he took a drink from the fountain of youth. Warner blew up the Dolphins with 361 yards, hitting Anquan Boldin for three TDs and 140 yards, while hooking up with Larry Fitzgerald for 153 yards.



BRANDON MARSHALL, WR - Denver Broncos (18 Catches, 166 Receiving Yards, 1 Touchdown)

Card to Grab - 2006 Playoff Contenders #147



After sitting out last week, Marshall was ready to "catch-up" on lost time. He hauled in 18 catches (Broncos record), just two shy of the all-time single-game mark (Terrell Owens). The performance helped push the Broncos past the Chargers for a huge, but controversial, 39-38 win.



ONES TO WATCH



TIM HIGHTOWER, RB - Arizona Cardinals (24 Rushing Yards, 1 Touchdown)

Cards to Grab - 2008 Donruss Classics #180, 2008 Score Select #408, 2008 Donruss Threads #241, 2008 Playoff Absolute #243 and 2008 Leaf Certified #197



With Arizona passing the ball all over the place and Edge getting the majority of the touches, this 2008 rookie has made the most of his carries, making him a rookie to keep an eye on. Reserved for short yardage situations, this RB of the future has put the ball in the end zone two weeks in a row.
