Dud No. 1 – Aqib Talib
Since beginning the year against Baltimore with a 12.5 cornerback rating according to Rotoworld, Aqib Talib has seen a decline in every game, dipping all the way down to a 1.5 rating on Sunday – the league average for corners was a 2.4 this week.
According to PFF, on Sunday Talib gave up 70 yards on six of seven targets against four different receivers. Talib was giving Mike Wallace huge cushions all day and got turned around by rookie wide Stefon Diggs.

Talib was getting little help all day, as Denver was committed to stopping Adrian Peterson, but he allowed some big plays that could have hurt the Broncos if the d-line hadn’t been so dominant.
