Fantasy Fallout: Week 2

Some Musings From Week 2
Dorian “The Trashman” Colbert, Rosterwatch.com

New Orleans vs Carolina:

  • All three Saints running backs are startable.
  • So are Jonathan Stewart and Deangelo Williams
  • Brandon LaFell should be owned in all leagues
  • The Saints defense is a plus match-up for any starting back

Dallas vs Seattle:

  • Beast mode is back
  • Seattle might have a top 5 defense
  • The Seattle coaching staff has big plans for Golden Tate
  • Kevin Ogletree had one target. So much for the second coming of Laurent Robinson
  • Dez Bryant has been disappointing. Buy low

Washington vs St. Louis:

  • Danny Amendola is a PPR monster
  • Darryl Richardson, not Isaiah Pead, is the number 2 Rams RB
  • The hopes of a Fred Davis breakout season are all but gone
  • Alfred Morris has a solid grasp on the Redskins backfield

Baltimore vs Philadelphia:

  • Michael Vick is match-up proof
  • Dennis Pitta is the tight end to own in Baltimore
  • Jacoby Jones is a sneaky sleeper
  • Brent Celek looks like a TE1. He shouldn’t be on your waiver wire

Kansas City vs Buffalo:

  • Fred Jackson may never start again this season
  • Stevie Johnson is too reliable
  • Jamaal Charles’ inactivity in the second half was probably due to the blowout

Oakland vs Miami:

  • Reggie Bush will have a career year
  • Brian Hartline is worth owning
  • Keep an eye on Lamar Miller in dynasty leagues
  • Buy low on McFadden if you can. Things will get better
  • McFadden owners should pick up Mike Goodson
  • Carson Palmer is not dependable, rendering his receivers the same

Tampa Bay vs New York:

  • Doug Martin owns the Tampa backfield
  • Tampa’s defense is worth a spot start in the right match-up
  • Hakeem Nicks’ foot is fine
  • Eli Manning loves going to Martellus Bennett, especially in the endzone
  • Andre Brown looks better than David Wilson right now

Cleveland vs Cincinnati:

  • Weeden is going to make it
  • Trent Richardson is the real deal. Start him with confidence every week
  • Greg Little might actually be worth starting as the Brown’s number one
  • If there’s another Bengals receiver to own besides A.J. Green it is Armon Binns
  • The Law Firm has found his footing in Cincinnati. Kudos to those who took the plunge

Minnesota vs Indianapolis:

  • Kyle Rudolph is a TE1
  • Gerhart is only useful as a handcuff to AP
  • Jerome Simpson’s return will only make more opportunities for Harvin. scary
  • Andrew Luck will be a top ten QB by season end
  • Reggie Wayne could be the value of the draft
  • We’ll see what’s what with Austin Collie soon enough, but for now, Donnie Avery should be rostered in most leagues.

Arizona vs New England:

  • Arizona has a very formidable defense
  • Minus Aaron Hernandez, The Pats’ passing game has no focal point
  • Watch out for Julian Edelman while Hernandez is out
  • Pray that John Skelton returns as the starter for Fitzgerald’s sake
  • Andre Roberts might not be a sleeper for long

Houston vs Jacksonville:

  • Ben Tate should stay firmly inserted in your flex
  • Schaub is an expensive game manager. Need I keep repeating myself?
  • Owen Daniels is back
  • The only person worth starting weekly in Jacksonville is MJD

Tennessee vs San Diego:

  • Chris Johnson may be the fantasy bust of the season. Owners should pick up Javon Ringer yesterday
  • Britt looks healthy. The Titans will depend on him out of necessity
  • The Chargers’ passing game will flourish regardless of who is in the game
  • Meachem and Rivers are not on the same page. He’s getting targets though

Detroit vs San Francisco:

  • Make sure Mikel Leshoure is rostered in your league
  • Randy Moss is largely a decoy right now
  • Frank Gore is a fantasy steal. Good job for keeping the faith in him
  • If you have an IDP in your league, make sure Navarro Bowman is not on your waiver wire
