It was The Week of the Running Back if you ask me.

Pittsburgh's James Conner was one of eight RBs with 95 rushing yards or more this week -- seven topped the century mark -- and this former Pitt star had 24 carries for 146 yards and two touchdowns in a 33-18 drubbing of the Cleveland Browns. He also added five catches for 66 yards, helping collectors and fans really wonder what might happen when (if?) Le'Veon Bell walks through that door. Conner's Rookie Cards and debut ink from last season look even more appealing, though the whole Bell thing does hold back potential a bit (for now). There's some risk picking up his cardboard but there could be rewards if you're selective and he locks in as the Steelers' future guy and continues to play well.

Want a relatively cheap and out-of-nowhere pick-up tip? Those perhaps aren't as easily done with football but one presented itself on Sunday.

It's Miami Dolphins WR Albert Wilson.

He had six catches for 155 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Bears on Sunday and that yardage total was tops in the NFL this week. It was the best game of his career that began as an undrafted free agent with the Chiefs in 2014. He has cards in just three sets that first year -- Crown Royale, National Treasures and Contenders -- and that last one is currently a 50-point autograph over on the Panini Rewards site. (Meaning you could land three of them for the typical commonly found 150-point card.) Meanwhile, asking prices on eBay are between $15 and $25 because he's had a pretty decent season with 359 yards and four TDs. (Check out his autos on eBay here.) Also helping out? His relative lack of overall cardboard -- he's got about 70 different cards in all and he's not had any autos since two appearances back in 2015. Only about a dozen of his cards come with ink and that puts more of a focus on any he might have if collectors take notice even more.

Simply put, Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley arrived on Sunday.

Sure, it was bound to be a low-defense, high-0ffense contest between the Falcons and the Saints but what was surprising was that this first-round pick out of Alabama was the go-to guy for Matt Ryan (374 yards, 5 TDs) seemingly all day long. He caught seven of eight passes that came his way for 146 yards and three touchdowns in a 43-37 overtime loss. Only one WR had a better week when it comes to yardage and nobody else had three TDs receiving or rushing. It wasn't a total surprise as he found the end zone last week -- but he had a completely silent debut in Week 1 that could have quieted some of the hype. >> Check out Calvin Ridley autos on eBay

Falcons fans have been used to a different receiver formerly of the Crimson Tide getting the job done in Julio Jones but Sunday's game from Ridley showed that there could be some amazing things to come this season and beyond -- both together or solo.
