Injury Updates
Donovan McNabb (cracked ribs) isn't practicing... Ladanian Tomlinson (sprained ankle) is questionable.. Meanwhile, Matt Cassell (knee) may start week 2 against Oakland..
Monday Night Waiver Wire
Here's a list of the players who performed well on Monday Night that could be available in your league and maybe worth picking up... We'll try to get this out on Tuesday's each week..
1) Benjamin Watson (TE-NE)
*Watson had 77 yards receiving and 2 tds.. Hard to say if he will put up numbers similar to that
every week, but he's always been a reliable option for Tom Brady.. If you're weak at the TE
position or just feel like taking a gamble, snatch Watson up if he's available in your league..
2) Louis Murphy (WR-OAK)
*Murphy had 87 yards receiving and 1 td... Heyward-Bay is/was considered Oakland's #1 receiver, but another rookie may end up being more productive than him.. Louis Murphy..
Could be a one night wonder, but his week #2 matchup looks promising as well....
3) Fred Taylor (RB-NE)
*Taylor had 25 yards rushing and 1 td.. Appears as though he will take most the goaline and short yardage carries for the Pats.. This means touchdowns, but yardage will vary considerably from week to week.. In smaller leagues, Taylor is probably allready taken, but he may still be available in some smaller leagues.. If he's available and you've got the likes of Larry Johnson, Steven Jackson, Ladainian Tomlinson.. you might think about adding some depth to the position..
4) Michael Bush (RB-OAK)
*Bush had 55 yards rushing and 1 td.. McFadden is the "starter", but inconsistent play and/or injury could result in Bush getting a major load increase.. If that's the case, he's got the ability to gouge defenses over the course of a game.. Great handcuff option for McFadden owners.. Smaller leagues, that's probably the only reason you'd have Bush on your roster but in deeper leagues, Bush should be looked at as a bench/fill-in player..
5) Kevin Faulk (RB-NE)
*Not much on the ground, but Faulk managed 50 yards receiving, making some crucial plays on 3rd downs.. Problem is, fantasy football doesn't award players for making big catches/yards on 3rd down.. If, for some reason, the Pats end up having RB's go down to injury, Faulk could become a deadly weapon for teams in deeper leagues.. Right now, we'll say he still belongs on the waiver wire unless you're in a 20+ team league... In that case, pick him up if you need him...
1) Benjamin Watson (TE-NE)
*Watson had 77 yards receiving and 2 tds.. Hard to say if he will put up numbers similar to that
every week, but he's always been a reliable option for Tom Brady.. If you're weak at the TE
position or just feel like taking a gamble, snatch Watson up if he's available in your league..

Week 2 WR Rankings/Projections
1) Randy Moss (@ NYJ)
*As long as Brady stays healthy, Moss should be a lock for 100 yds, 1-2 tds almost every week..
2) Reggie Wayne (@ MIA)
*Good matchup for Wayne.. Add Manning wanting to get things rolling and that spells big #'s...
3) Greg Jennings (vs. CIN)
*Playmaker w/ an emerging superstar at quarterback... Start Jennings w/ extreme confidence..
4) Larry Fitzgerald (@ JAX)
*Fitz will be held back if Warner cannot get into a groove and JAX should prevent that another week.
5) Terrell Owens (vs. TB)
*TO should hold onto a few passes this week and get back into form.. Hopefully...
6) Wes Welker (@ NYJ)
*Huge upside from short passing game from NE.. Lots of catches, yards, and possible tds..
7) Calvin Johnson (vs. MIN)
*Tough matchup, but he's a big target and should end the day w/ decent stats...
8) Santonio Holmes (@ CHI)
*Chicago should be able to shut down Pittsburg's questionable running game.. Pass happy again..
9) Desean Jackson (vs. NO)
*Speed and big play ability should prove to be a recipe for a big day for Jackson in Week 2..
10) Vincent Jackson (vs. BAL)
*Jackson cracks the top 10 b/c of possible injury to LT and Baltimore's defensive play last week..
11) Steve Smith (@ ATL)
*This is being very generous... Possible meltdown in Carolina looming spells trouble...
12) Anquan Boldin (@ JAX)
*If Arizona gets their passing game going against Jacksonville, there won't be much to go around..
13) Dwayne Bow (vs. OAK)
*Pretty decent matchup for Bowe.. QB issues in KC are somewhat of a cause for concern though.
14) Andre Johnson (@ TEN)
*Brutal matchup for a team/player trying to rebound from a tough Week 1 performance..
15) Roddy White (vs. CAR)
*Atlanta will be able to move the ball somewhat, questions is, who will get the yardage??
16) Marques Colston (@ PHI)
*Bad feeling Philly will shutdown Colston, causing other WR's to get the looks and touches...
17) Roy Williams (vs. NYG)
*Week 1 could of been a sign of things to come, or Williams may pull his disapeering act again..
18) Jericho Cotchery (vs. NE)
*Great performance in Week 1.. Size will always be a concern plus a rookie quarterback in there.
19) Braylon Edwards (@ DEN)
*Questionable play here.. Tough Denver corners, but there's always a chance he get his share..
20) Torry Holt (vs. ARI)
*Only reliable option in Jacksonville as far as Wide Receivers.. Someone has to catch the passes..
21) Derrick Mason (@ SD)
*Todd Heap's performance in Week 1 could be somewhat scary for Derrick Mason owners..
22) Hines Ward (@ CHI)
*Ward can put up numbers against anybody.. Possible Top 10 production this week.. Start him..
23) Donald Driver (vs. CIN)
*On any given sunday, Driver can put up big numbers like Jennings.. Just never know..
24) T.J. Houshmandzadeh (@ SF)
*Would figure to gel w/ Hasselbeck as the season goes along.. Very reliable target...
25) Bernard Berrian (@ DET)
*Start Berrian and hope that Rice and Harvin don't hog the stat sheet...
26) Santana Moss (vs. STL)
*A lot of options for Jason Campbell in Washington.. Santana Moss is the most dangerous...
27) Percy Harvin (@ DET)
*Very dynamic player that could break out anytime during this season.. Look out..
28) Mario Manningham (@ DAL)
*Made some plays in Week 1, could be looked to as Eli Manning's goto receiver...
29) Chad Ochocinco (@ GB)
*This was supposed to be Cincinnati's year to emerge back in the pack... Maybe this week..
30) Devin Hester (vs. PIT)
*Always the potential for big plays.. Matchup says no, but there's always that chance..
31) Kevin Walter (@ TEN)
*Viable option in deeper leagues.. Don't expect consistent production on a week-2-week basis..
32) Lee Evans (vs. TB)
*Didn't show up much on Monday Night, but no huddle offense should suit him well...
33) Antonio Bryant (@ BUF)
*Conservative offense doesn't bode well for Bryant or any TB receiver.. Cross your fingers..
34) Brandon Marhsall (vs. CLE)
*Until problems w/ organization are 100% resolved, this is one i'd rather not mess with...
35) Mushin Muhammad (@ ATL)
*Old reliable... If Carolina moves the ball in Week 2, Mush should get a few balls thrown his way.
36) Justin Gage (vs. HOU)
*Great Week 1 performance.. Back to reality.. Expect something around 40 yards, 0 tds...
37) Chris Henry (@ GB)
*Has really come a long ways as a player... Problem is, Cincinnati has to move the ball first...
38) Devery Henderson (@ PHI)
*Explosive player after the catch... Possible 100, 1 td day in the making.. Not a guarantee though..
39) Josh Morgan (vs. SEA)
*Talented young player that could have an opportunity in this game to put up big numbers...
40) Nate Burleson (@ SF)
*Toss-up between Burleson and Branch.. Burleson gets the nod only because he's 100%..
41) Deion Branch (@ SF)
*Possible lingering injury could effect his production.. Then again, maybe it won't...
42) Issac Bruce (vs. SEA)
*Not enough yards to go around in San Fransisco... Will make some catches though...
43) Joshua Cribbs (@ DEN)
*Sick athlete that is being working into the offense more... Pick him up if he's available...
44) Donnie Avery (@ WAS)
*Supposed to be his breakout year... We'll have to wait and see if that happens in St. Louis...
45) Robert Meachem (@ PHI)
*Philly's D could shut down the Saints enough that one of their receivers puts up nothing...
46) Eddie Royal (vs. CLE)
*Disappointing performance in week 1 considering what was expected of him.. Step up time..
47) Chansi Stuckey (vs. NE)
*In Deeper Leagues, he could be a viable option this week.. Smaller leagues, questionable...
48) Tedd Ginn Jr. (vs. IND)
*Forced to return kicks and punts... Not neccesarily a bad thing if you get pts for Ret. Tds..
49) Lance Moore (@ PHI)
*Four Saint WR's in the top 50??? Unbelievable... Add Shockey in the mix as well...
50) Kenny Britt (vs. HOU)
*Possible sleeper play this week.. If Gage disapeers, he could be on the end of 1-2 td passes..
*Please Note, Every Friday we will post some last minute suggestions in terms of WR's not listed in this top 50...
*As long as Brady stays healthy, Moss should be a lock for 100 yds, 1-2 tds almost every week..
2) Reggie Wayne (@ MIA)
*Good matchup for Wayne.. Add Manning wanting to get things rolling and that spells big #'s...

Week 2 RB Rankings/Projections
1) A.Peterson (@ DET)
*Potential #1 fantasy stud for the week.. Obvious start, All Day should run all over the Lions..
2) Chris Johnson (vs. HOU)
*Expect Tennesse to get their ground gaming go early against Houston.. Good for CJ...
3) M.Jones-Drew (vs. ARI)
*Dynamic back that can produce even when he's not getting a lot of carries.. Suspect defense..
4) C.Portis (vs. STL)
*Portis had a nice game in Week 1... Question is can he keep it up.. Against STL, we think so..
5) D.Williams (@ ATL)
*Carolina should somewhat rebound from their week 1 performance, and DWill will carry them..
6) B.Westbrook (vs. NO)
*His numbers actually should go up with McNabb out.. Safety blanket for a backup QB..
7) F.Gore (vs. SEA)
*Lets hope that Gore shows up this week, or his fantasy status will begin to fall...
8) M.Turner (vs. CAR)
*Tough matchup for Turner, but Matt Ryan should be able to take off enough pressure..
9) B.Jacobs (@ DAL)
*Tough environment, but Dallas showed a lot of weaknesses in their defense last week...
10) R.Brown (vs. IND)
*Miami could fall behind early, but if so, Brown still will be utilized in the passing game..
11) F.Jackson (vs. TB)
*Dallas ran up and down the field against Tampa.. No Huddle in Buffalo should bode well for FJax..
12) T.Jones (vs. NE)
*Great first week of the season for Jones.. Tougher opponent this week, lower expectations..
13) D.McFadden (@ KC)
*Jumps up into top 15 w/ great performance and San Diego and upcoming matchup w/ KC..
14) R.Grant (vs. CIN)
*Passing game shold open up a few opportunities for Grant.. Be happy w/ 80 yds, 1 td..
15) M.Barber (vs. NYG)
*Expect a slugfest in this one.. Barber should get more touches than last week...
16) J.Addai (@ MIA)
*Still question marks as to who is going to get the carries for the Colts.. Go w/ Addai for now..
17) S.Jackson (@ WAS)
*As with Bulger, St. Louis is going to have to show they can actually move the ball...
18) L.Johnson (vs. OAK)
*If you have LJ, you almost have to play him... He's known to torch OAK @ Arrowhead...
19) M.Forte (vs. PIT)
*Forte will have a hard time getting things going against Pittsburg.. Limit expectations here..
20) J.Lewis (@ DEN)
*Who knows what these two teams will bring to the table in Week #2... We shall see..
21) S.Slaton (@ TEN)
*Very tough matchup on the road... Look to your bench this week if you can...
22) C.Williams (@ BUF)
*Great Week 1 performance from the Cadillac, but his durability has to be a huge concern..
23) D.Sproles (vs. BAL)
*Expect Sproles to get a majority of carries if LT still has ankle issues.. but it's against BAL???
24) L.Tomlinson (vs. BAL)
*If LT plays, it will probably be split carries with Sproles.. Stay away from these two backs..
25) K.Smith (vs. MIN)
*Very stout run defense and Smith has a rookie at quarterback.. Recipe for disaster..
26) L.White (vs. HOU)
*Possible TD machine, but Tennesse has to put the points on the board for him to be effective..
27) M.Bush (@ KC)
*Could squeeze a TD in against KC, but expect McFadden to get the bulk of the carries..
28) C.Taylor (@ DET)
*Very possible sleeper pick here.. Blowout = Chester Taylor getting second half carries..
29) R.Rice (@ SD)
*Running back by committe hurts any Baltimore running back.. Rice is the first pick though..
30) D.Ward (@ BUF)
*Same with Baltimore, running back by committe makes it tough to count on any TB back..
31) C.Buckhalter (vs. CLE)
*Even worse than the first two, b/c of the fact Denver's offense has a lot of question marks..
32) J.Jones (@ SF)
*Potentially good matchup, but running back by committe blows any thoughts of that up..
33) A.Bradshaw (@ DAL)
*Bradshaw will produce good fantasy numbers, just don't expect anything great this week..
34) W.McGahee (@ SD)
*Seemed like more of a 3rd down, pass receiving back in Week 1... Proceed w/ caution..
35) P.Thomas (@ PHI)
*The Saints should be able to throw the ball, but running the ball could be almost impossible..
36) L.Washington (vs. NE)
*Gotta be concerned w/ this guys size.. He's explosive, but 1 hit could end his season..
37) R.Williams (vs. IND)
*Brown should get a bulk of the carries, use Ricky if you got other injuries or are desperate..
38) W.Parker (@ CHI)
*Should be no different in Week 2 against Chicago, Pittsburg will have to throw to win..
39) K.Moreno (vs. CLE)
*Let him get some touches before we even start to speculate as to his fantasy production..
40) K.Faulk (@ NYJ)
*Lethal third down back, could get an increased role if other NE backs don't produce..
41) D.Brown (@ MIA)
*Could jump up 20 slots if IND decides to get him involved more this week.. Wait 'n see..
42) C.Benson (@ GB)
*Benson will be a question mark as long as he's playing for CIN... Expect 50 yards, that's it..
43) T.Hightower (@ JAX)
*Arizona will throw the ball early and often against most opponents.. Goaline potential though..
44) F.Taylor (@ NYJ)
*Old man showed he still had the burst to hit the holes, but he's got too many others around him..
45) J.Norwood (vs. CAR)
*Most Turner owners should have Norwood as a handcuff... But he shouldn't be used yet..
46) J.Stewart (@ ATL)
*Hard to guage how much he will produce.. All depends on how effective DWill is..
47) Felix Jones (vs. NYG)
*As with Stewart, all depends on how well Barber does against the Giants defense..
48) M.Bell (@ PHI)
*Played well in Week 1, but with P.Thomas back, expect his numbers to decrease big time..
49) J.Charles (vs. OAK)
*Could see some good opportunities spelling LJ and on third down, but don't expect much..
50) M.Moore (@ CHI)
*More looks in Week 1 than anyone would have expected... Running back by committte sucks!
*Potential #1 fantasy stud for the week.. Obvious start, All Day should run all over the Lions..
2) Chris Johnson (vs. HOU)
*Expect Tennesse to get their ground gaming go early against Houston.. Good for CJ...
3) M.Jones-Drew (vs. ARI)

*Benson will be a question mark as long as he's playing for CIN... Expect 50 yards, that's it..
43) T.Hightower (@ JAX)
*Arizona will throw the ball early and often against most opponents.. Goaline potential though..
44) F.Taylor (@ NYJ)
*Old man showed he still had the burst to hit the holes, but he's got too many others around him..
45) J.Norwood (vs. CAR)
*Most Turner owners should have Norwood as a handcuff... But he shouldn't be used yet..
46) J.Stewart (@ ATL)
*Hard to guage how much he will produce.. All depends on how effective DWill is..
47) Felix Jones (vs. NYG)
*As with Stewart, all depends on how well Barber does against the Giants defense..
48) M.Bell (@ PHI)
*Played well in Week 1, but with P.Thomas back, expect his numbers to decrease big time..
49) J.Charles (vs. OAK)
*Could see some good opportunities spelling LJ and on third down, but don't expect much..
50) M.Moore (@ CHI)
*More looks in Week 1 than anyone would have expected... Running back by committte sucks!

Week 2 QB Rankings/Projections
1) Tom Brady (@ NYJ)
*Start w/ confidence.. 300 yards, 3 tds looks like pretty much a lock..
2) Aaron Rodgers (vs. CIN)
*Looks like a good Matchup for Rodgers.. 250 yards, 3 tds a good possibility..
3) Drew Brees (@ PHI)
*Don't expect Week #1 repeat against Philly's Defense, more like 250 yards 'n 2 tds..
4) Peyton Manning (@ MIA)
*Look for Manning to rebound in the form of 250 yards, 2 tds, 0 ints...
5) Phillip Rivers (vs. BAL)
*If Brodie Croyle can put up 200 yards, 2 tds against Baltimore, what will Rivers put up?
6) Matt Hasselbeck (@ SF)
*Look for Hasselbeck to have another good week.. 200 yards, 2 tds should be a safe bet..
7) Tony Romo (vs. NYG)
*Romo exploded in Week 1.. Expect decreased numbers, but still top 10 production..
8) Jason Campbell (vs. STL)
*Start Campbell this week if you have him... Start any QB playing against St. Louis...
9) Trent Edwards (vs. TB)
*Somewhat of a sleeper projection here.. No huddle offense = top 10 production possibility..
10) David Garrard (vs. ARI)
*Garrard gets the nod over Warner, only because of the defense factor...
11) Kurt Warner (@ JAX)
*Expect Warner to improve on his week #1 numbers, just might not be this week..
12) Joe Flacco (@ SD)
*Flacco played well... against Kansas City?? Expect him to fall back down to the real world..
13) Bret Favre (@ DET)
*This has all the makings of Favre breaking out.. But then there's the age factor... ????
14) Matt Ryan (vs. CAR)
*Tough matchup for the sophmore quarterback... Could go in either direction.. Be prepared..
15) Eli Manning (@ DAL)
*Run-heavy team.. Could be playing from behind though, which would bode well for Eli...
16) Ben Roethlisberger (@ CHI)
*Matchup becomes a bit easier w/ Urlacher out, but still don't expect huge numbers...
17) Kerry Collins (vs. HOU)
*Collins won't dominate the stat sheet, but this could be a matchup worth starting him..
18) Shaun Hill (vs. SEA)
*Questionable defense in Seattle, combined with questionable offense in SF, equals.. ????
19) Jay Cutler (vs. PIT)
*Afraid it will be another week before Cutler gets into a grove w/ Chicago's offense..
20) Kyle Orton (vs. CLE)
*Stay away from Orton unless you have no other choice, until Denver shows some direction...
21) Carson Palmer (@ GB)
*Questionable week 1 performance throws Palmer back down into bottom tier...
22) Chad Pennington (vs. IND)
*Tough environment in the dome... Pennigton manages the game, that's about it...
23) Brady Quinn (@ DEN)
*Decent matchup for Brady.. Possible sleeper play here.. Proceed with caution though..
24) Jake Delhomme (vs. ATL)
*Could jump back up into the 15 range... Gonna have to prove it first though...
25) Matt Schaub (@ TEN)
*Do you think Atlanta is glad they let Schaub go?? Probably....
26) Mark Sanchez (vs. NE)
*Rookie should get a real test this week... expect Bellichek to scheme to destroy...
27) Mark Bulger (@ WAS)
*St. Louis has to show some consistency on offense before Bulger gets a starting nod..
28) Jamarcus Russel (@ KC)
*Good matchup against the Chiefs, but not the best environment at Arrowhead..
29) Byron Leftwich (@ BUF)
*Playing the Trent Dilfer role in Tampa.. That equals = no fantasy production..
30) Matthew Stafford (vs. MIN)
*As w/ Sanchez, Stafford will get destroryed in his second game as a pro.. Bench him..
31) Donovan McNabb (vs. NO)
*Question marks with the broken rib.. Obviously jumps into top 10 if 100% healthy vs. NO..
32) Matt Cassell (vs. OAK)
*Status uncertain for week 2... Proceed with caution.. Keep him on the bench if you can..
33) Kevin Kolb (vs. NO)
*Will start if McNabb is unable to go... Expect pedestrian numbers if he plays entire game..
34) Brodie Croyle (vs. OAK)
*Brodie played well against Baltimore.. If Cassell can't go, he'll get the nod..
*Start w/ confidence.. 300 yards, 3 tds looks like pretty much a lock..
