Barr! Safety and an INT. Even for his normally high standard, that's a huge day.
Also, across the entire season, Everson Griffen has by far exceeded my expectations the most. He's playing great.

Yeah, don't like the choices on this one.  Barr exceeded his normally good play.

Bisi is beginning to look like a viable option.  More Bisi please! ;)

Based on all the negativity of Cousins after the Bears game, I would say Kirk exceeded what a lot of fans expected.

Happy to add any write-ins in the final tally.  I got 2 for Barr so far.

I mean, if the filter is player 'exceeding' expectations, how can it be any other than Bailey. Are you guys telling me you thought he'd go 4 for 4 on FGs?? Hell no, you expected him to miss, just like I did.

Kline to me has played much better then I thought he would when we inked him. It was noticeable in his absence against da Bears as well...

Odenibo had another one of those series where he was just a force...any time Bailey hits all his kicks it exceeds expectations...Bisi with more catches than Diggs was it for me...

Bisi is a better third option after 4 weeks than Tready after 4 years.

Since I can only pick one, I chose Hughes.  He really had a nice game, and made some nice breakups in single coverage.  One of those was in the end-zone and made a beautiful strip.
The other was Cousins.  He also had a very nice game, and I was surprised the way he bounced back after his dreadful showing against the Bears.  Hopefully he keeps it up this week agaist a strong Philly D.
