After a week 1 that showcased a lot of 300 yard passers and a good amount of 400 yard passers, we are starting to get the picture that there will be a lot of receiving yards to go around.
Guys that can still be picked up:
WR's Devery Henderson and Robert Meachem, now they may not be both available in some leagues, but usually one of them will be. Marques Colston is still hurt and Lance Moore is probably not playing for the second week in a row. Even though, the Chicago Bears are coming into town, Drew Brees will still need to throw the ball to somebody, so look for both of these guys to get a lot of looks and would probably start for me unless I have superstar options at the spot.
WR Jordy Nelson, if you are in a PPR league, and this guy hasn't been picked up, not sure what you are waiting for is this guys gets a lot of looks and could have a very big year. Greg Jennings gets a lot of attention, which leave Nelson as the second option for Aaron Rodgers against the Carolina Panthers.
Must Start:
Peyton Hillis, this guy is a must start as he is playing against the Colts poor run defense. This run defense even got worse this year as without Peyton Manning, they will be on the field a lot more than they are used to and let's face it this defense is not built that way.
Matt Stafford, this guy will become an every week starter this year as long as he can stay healthy. I think it is amazing that they are already a 7 pt favorite after being terrible for so long, but it is warranted as I don't think KC is any good especially with Eric Berry out for the season. Look for Stafford, to be looking at Pettigrew and Burleson a ton inside the 20's and then when it gets closer to the goal line, Calvin Johnson and Pettigrew will use their height against the much shorter defensive backs of Kansas City. Stafford lights them up this week. The Lions are a little bit more risky suicide pick because let's face it, they are still the Lions and it is still too early in my book to be using them without seeing a bit more, considering the safe options out there. For the gamblers, suicide away as I do think they win this one easily.
Tony Romo, who has been getting blasted all week, despite the fact that he threw for over 300 yards easily versus the number one pass defense, the NY Jets. He will be hungry to get back on the field and he knows that they can not start 0-2 vs the SF 49ers. I am still not sold on their running game and the Cowboys are still pass happy as that is what Jason Garrett is truly known for, not the mirage we saw last year.
Dare I say, you start the Pittsburgh defense after last weeks' drubbing versus Baltimore. I think I do as they are at home and will be foaming at the mouth to play the Seattle Seachickens this week. I am not sure that Tavaris Jackson is going to be able to weather the storm in Pittsburgh and do not expect a 100 yard rusher this week against the Steelers.
