ATLANTA (CNN/SI) -- Edgerrin James and Stephen Davis continued to shine as the NFL's premier ballcarriers in Week 11.

James again played a yeoman's role in an Indianapolis Colts' victory, rushing 22 times for 152 yards and two touchdowns and catching five passes for 47 yards and a touchdown. It's the third game that James' combined yardage has exceeded 190 yards. Davis played a pivotal role in the Washington Redskins' 23-13 victory over the New York Giants, carrying the ball 33 times for a career-best 183 yards and a touchdown. He also had three receptions for five yards.

Ricky Watters of the Seattle Seahawks scored three touchdowns in his most productive day of the season, rushing for 107 yards and two touchdowns and catching four passes for 67 yards and a touchdown.

In the receiving game, Jacksonville's Jimmy Smith had the best individual outing of the season against the Saints on Sunday night, grabbing nine passes for a career-high 220 yards and one touchdown. Marcus Robinson of the Chicago Bears kept up the good work, catching six passes for 163 yards and a touchdown. Packers running back Dorsey Levens had career highs with 10 receptions for 99 yards in the Packers' 26-17 win over Detroit. On the ground, Levens carried the ball for only 47 yards on 23 attempts but scored a touchdown.

Among quarterbacks, Jim Miller of the Chicago Bears turned in his second consecutive stellar performance, completing 25 of 38 pass attempts for 357 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 23-20 overtime win over the San Diego Chargers. Mark Brunell heated things up in the second half against New Orleans on Sunday night, finishing with 351 yards and two touchdowns passing. Brett Favre turned his fortunes and those of the Green Bay Packers around, connecting on 26 of 40 pass attempts for a touchdown and, more importantly, no interceptions in the Packers' 26-17 victory over the Lions.
