Week 10 ended with the Packers maintaining their undefeated season with a shellacking of the Vikings on Monday Night Football. The Top 25 points scorers in a standard Yahoo! Public League has a few surprises, highlighted by the strong numbers from some of the non-elite quarterbacks. Here's the the list:

The reign of a non running back in the top spot ended after only a week. A running back is at the top of the list for the fifth time in six weeks. This week's top scorer is non other than consensus No.1 pick in fantasy football drafts, Arian Foster. One of the surprises of the week, Michael Bush was right behind Foster and while his strong numbers were a surprise they were not unexpected with Darren McFadden out. Rounding out the top 5 were some elite fantasy players in Aaron Rodgers, Larry Fitzgerald and Tom Brady. Fitzgerald making it this high is a pleasant surprise for his owners with John Skelton at quarterback, but Skelton himself had a good week and is in the top 25 for the second straight week, coming in at  #7. The other huge shock in this list is Denarius Moore climbing all the way up to #6 after taking advantage of Jacoby Ford's injury.

The rest of the major surprises of Week 10 were Marshawn Lynch, Ed Dickson and Reggie Bush at #12, #16 and #24 respectively. Both Lynch and Bush were also in last week's top 25 and are considered surprises because just like Skelton, they were not expected to put up enough number to make it back in here. Dickson has put some solid number, but they were never big enough and the chances he returns next week are slim. The rest of the surprises from Week 9 (Carson Palmer, Matt Moore, Andy Dalton) did not make it back as expected. Laurent Robinson and Tim Tebow made it into this list but this was not unexpected for either of them.

As usual for Yahoo! leagues, quarterbacks have a large presence at the top thanks to the scoring format and everybody should keep this in mind when looking at the numbers from some of the quarterbacks in the bottom range (such as John Skelton and Alex Smith this week, and Carson Palmer, Matt Moore, Andy Dalton last week).
