Sunday Superstars: NFL Week 9 cardboard icons include Christian McCaffrey, Russell Wilson, Josh Jacobs & others

Another big week for one of the NFL's big names? It shouldn't be a surprise ...

Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson put on a show with five TDs in a 40-34 win over the Bucs but his 378 yards weren't enough to lead the NFL this week (that was Matthew Stafford's claim to fame in a loss). Two of those TDs and 152 yards went to Tyler Lockett and rookie DK Metcalf had six catches for 123 and a TD. He's easily on pace for a career year as he leads the league in TDs and is on pace for a career yardage mark, too. For his career he's comparing very well -- he's on par with Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, Brett Favre, Jim Kelly and Fran Tarkenton, who are all Hall of Famers or locks for Canton, at this point.

Wilson's autograph has never been much to look at with an "RC" of sorts being all it is, but collectors don't care and shouldn't as his 2012 Rookie Cards and autos should have "big" status and should continue that way. There could be more fluctuations and gains to be made with his WRs but Wilson is the easy long-term grab if you thin about how big-name QB cards have gone in the 2000s.

Keep reading for more guys who generated some buzz on the field this week.

-- Christian McCaffrey, RB, Panthers He had another big week with three touchdowns via both the ground and the air. His specific breakdown in a 30-20 win over the Titans? Well, 24 carries of 146 yards and two TDs there and three catches for 20 yards and a score. He's on pace for reaching the 1,000-yard rushing club in his next game after his fifth 100-yard game of the year. Believe it or not, his 146 yards comes in as his third-best mark of this season. His 2017 Rookie Cards should be gaining steam and are still really cheap if they are not signed. Hunting for bargains among signed cards will be tougher.

-- Josh Jacobs, RB, Raiders The first RB taken in this year's draft had 28 carries for 120 yards and two TDs in a win over the Lions. It was his third two-TD game of the season -- the only scores he has as it's two or none on his game log -- but the yardage was just his third-best of the year with others at 123 and 124. All three of his 100-yard games have come in the last month so there's definitely an uptick for this rookie on the field. Interest in his cardboard should be doing the same for the good stuff.

-- Mohmaed Sanu, WR, Patriots A 10-catch day for 81 yards and a TD normally wouldn't be enough to get somebody on this list, but he did it with a new team that gets more attention than any of them for their pick-ups that seemingly always work out ... well, except for that one guy earlier this year. A third-round pick back in 2012, Sanu joins just his third team after four years with the Bengals and four with the Falcons. He's never been a 1,000-yard guy and his career-high for TDs in a season is just five TDs. That could change with the team he's on now if you ask me -- at least on the scoring part. It feels like there have been more midseason moves than ever this year ... I'd watch some of those guys this season. Big games from Sanu should make for easy uptick or at least easy flips on key cards if you find them cheap.

-- Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, 49ers Had Wilson not had a monster week, you might have seen a little more of this guy out there as he had a 317-yard, for TD game in a win over the Cardinals. His fat contract pretty much dictates the expectation that he should have big weeks, but this was his best game of the season. There could be some bargains to be found for his cards after injuries took off some of that new-car smell last year, too. His 2014 Rookie Cards should be looked at, but his 49ers stuff might have more surprises as those what-he's-wearing-now colors are more appealing to his current fans.
