Strong team from a great draft. In fact I did not make any waiver moves after week 1. Good QBs, 4 starting RBs, the best WR in AJ and 2 other strong ones in S Moss and Steve Smith. Fred Davis at TE may have been the steal of the draft.

Injuries pile up in the NFL from week 2. Who is hurt and what to do...

Jamaal Charles, KC, RB suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season-look to add Thomas Jones and Dexter McCluster. I like McCluster more but TJ will be the main guy when KC is competitive in games. Ok that may not be much more than the 1st quarter.

Aaron Hernandez, TE, NE out for 1-2 weeks. No waiver wire to pick up as Rob Gronkowski should have been grabbed by now and will see more work in Aaron absense.

Michael Vick, QB, PHI-concussed out of the week 2 game and may be out for week 3. If so Mike Kafka gets the start but is only a one week filler.

Miles Austin, WR, DAL pulled his hammy again and may sit thru Cowboys week 5 bye. Watch this closley. Ken Ogletree would benefit from any lost time along with TE Jason Witten

Tony Romo, QB, DAL left the game (but reentered) after fractured ribs. We will know more soon.

Ben Roethlisberger, QB, PIT missed a snap with a left leg injury.

Arian Foster, RB, HOU reinjured his hammy and did not play in the 2nd half of the HOU game. If you have Ben Tate hold on to him!

Felix Jones, RB, DAL suffered a separated right shoulder during the game, he tried to play through it but eventually left due to the pain. Rumors are he will try and play week 3. I am dubious of his productivity. Grab DeMarco Murray and/or Tashard Choice off the waiver wire. 

Braylon Edwards, WR, SF suffered a knee injury. With Crabtree out too look to Josh Morgan and Delanie Walker to fill some gaps there.

Malcolm Floyd, WR, SD left with a groin injury

Eddie Royal, WR, DEN left with a groin injury

Jordan Shipley, WR, CIN was on crutches after the game. This is never good and could be season ending.

Marcus Easley, WR, BUF is out for season with heart ailment.

Roscoe Parrish, WR, BUF had a left ankle injury.

Brandon Lloyd, Sidney Rice, Demaryious Thomas, Roy Willaims, DHB, Jason Hill, Louis Murphy, Jacoby Ford and Michael Crabtree are all WRs who did not play week 2.

Jason Witten, TE, DAL bruised his ribs but played.

What a mess. I blame no OTA's for this.

Ask the Experts Question: Pick one of Week 1's stars who you would "sell high" on, and tell why.

Pick one of Week 1's stars who you would "sell high" on, and tell why.

Ryan Fitzpatrick threw 4 TDs Sunday. Some are jumping on his bandwagon. I say look at who he played against. KC put little pressure on him and his yardage was only 208 yards. He is not a top 10 QB. Sell him high

How did we do in our week 1 predictions and what are the injuries for week 2?

Houston rested Arian Foster and Miles Austin looked stymied by Revis Island....until he caught a TD while someone else guarded him.

Injuries for week 2
Nate Kaeding SD K out for the season-grab Nick Novak his replacement
Steven Jackson may not play week 2 (Caddy Williams is good start this week)
Sidney Rice may not go again in week 2 (Mike Williams anyone?)
Kevin Walter HOU WR out 8-10 weeks. Jacoby Jones gets the #2 position in all likelihood.
Danny Amendola STL WR out 5-6 weeks. Bump Brandon Gibson or Greg Salas up as STL will throw tons
Derrick Ward is day to day and Arian Foster may not be ready yet. Start Ben Tate!!!
Hakeem Nicks is banged up...watch this carefully

Ask the Expert: Which player, if any, who changed teams over the weekend will go on to have fantasy value this season?

Which player, if any, who changed teams over the weekend will go on to have fantasy value this season?

Chester Taylor RB AZ is one possibility in a very limited field. Keep in mind though the Bears released Taylor for a reason and granted he appears to have lost a step at 32. His yards per carry have steadily decreased every year since 2007. But he can still be a value (remember a small value) as a 3rd down back and if (OK when) Beanie Wells injures or fumbles his way to the bench; Taylor could be there to pick up the pieces. His value is higher in PPR leagues.

Peyton Manning out for week 1 officially!

It is official Peyton Manning is out for week 1. So lower your rankings for everyone except Joseph Addai, Dallas Clark and Adam Viniateri. They should do just as well with Kerry Collins behind the center.

Other worries;

1) Arian Foster-does HOU start him even though PM is not playing against them? Perhaps they let AF rest another week

2) Miles Austin is visiting Revis Island this week. Lower expectations for him.

3) PHI vs STL can you say shootout?

4) Looking for a survivor pick this week? NE over Miami is about as sure as thing as it gets

5) If you have the NYG DEF in any kind of survivor FF league (you know where you can use them once per year) now is the time to use them as they face WAS and their deer in the headlights QB flavor of the week.
