Quarterback
1. | Aaron Rodgers GB at Car |
2. | Drew Brees NO vs. Chi |
3. | Tom Brady NE vs. SD |
4. | Philip Rivers SD at NE |
5. | Michael Vick PHI at Atl Note: This matchup might get just a teensy little bit of hype beforehand. |
6. | Matt Schaub HOU at Mia Note: The early blowout led the Texans to keep it pretty close to the vest in the second half. |
7. | Matthew Stafford DET vs. KC Note: Now gets to face a Chiefs defense without Eric Berry - want. |
8. | Jay Cutler CHI at NO |
9. | Tony Romo DAL at SF Note: There's a pretty big disconnect between his real-life game and his fantasy game. I'll take a 300-yard effort at the Jets anytime. |
10. | Ben Roethlisberger PIT vs. Sea |
11. | Eli Manning NYG vs. StL |
12. | Rex Grossman WAS vs. Ari |
13. | Mark Sanchez NYJ vs. Jac Note: Had to throw more often than usual after trailing early. Look for last year's script to apply more this week. |
14. | Kyle Orton DEN vs. Cin |
15. | Kevin Kolb ARZ at Was Note: One of 14 passers to go for over 300 yards in Week 1. |
16. | Joe Flacco BAL at Ten |
17. | *Josh Freeman TB at Min Note: Dealt with leg cramps in Week 1, as did opposing QB Matthew Stafford. |

20. | Chad Henne MIA vs. Hou Note: Garbage time production is your friend. Monday night was the perfect storm - don't expect a repeat. |
21. | Jason Campbell OAK at Buf |
22. | Cam Newton CAR vs. GB Note: This certainly opened my eyes. Where do you put him for the rest of the season? I still am wary to a certain extent - probably in the 15-to-18 range. |
23. | Colt McCoy CLE at Ind Note: One of the disappointments from Week 1, McCoy wasn't given much time to throw. |
24. | Alex Smith SF vs. Dal |
25. | *Sam Bradford STL at NYG Note: Bone bruise on his index finger - there's potential nerve damage, though the Rams avoided that topic on Monday. Full participant Friday. |
26. | Kerry Collins IND vs. Cle |
27. | Matt Hasselbeck TEN vs. Bal |
28. | *Matt Cassel KC at Det Note: It's hard to complete 22 passes yet average fewer than four yards per attempt, but Cassel (ribs) found a way. |
29. | *Donovan McNabb MIN vs. TB Note: (Wrist) In select company, for the wrong reasons, for his Week 1 performance. |
30. | *Andy Dalton CIN at Den Note: (Forearm) The Bengals are now optimistic that Dalton will be able to play - full practice Friday, now listed as probable. |
31. | Luke McCown JAC at NYJ Note: Efficient yet stultifyingly boring. |
32. | Tarvaris Jackson SEA at Pit Note: Running for his life all game long. |
Running Backs
1. | Ray Rice BAL at Ten Note: Ran with abandon, though the Ravens gave Ricky Williams 12 carries, albeit in a blowout. |
2. | Adrian Peterson MIN vs. TB |
3. | LeSean McCoy PHI at Atl |
4. | Jamaal Charles KC at Det |
5. | Rashard Mendenhall PIT vs. Sea |

8. | Ahmad Bradshaw NYG vs. StL |
9. | Peyton Hillis CLE at Ind |
10. | Matt Forte CHI at NO |
11. | Cedric Benson CIN at Den Note: Could have a huge matchup against the Broncos. |
12. | Jahvid Best DET vs. KC |
13. | Felix Jones DAL at SF Note: Got the goal line carries for the Cowboys, an encouraging sign. |
14. | *Arian Foster HOU at Mia Note: (Hamstring) Increasingly positive news this week - looks like he'll play. Now the question is how much? *** FRIDAY UPDATE: Kubiak said that he doesn't anticipate that Foster will get his usual 60 snaps. *** |
15. | Chris Johnson TEN vs. Bal Note: Titans coach Mike Munchak said he wants to get 20 carries for Johnson this week. Sure would have been nice to notice that last week. |
16. | Tim Hightower WAS vs. Ari Note: Not a timeshare - 25 carries to one for Helu Jr. |
17. | Maurice Jones-Drew JAC at NYJ Note: Disturbing note - no targets, let alone catches, in Week 1. |
18. | Chris Wells ARZ at Was |
19. | Shonn Greene NYJ vs. Jac Note: Ugh - LDT looked better this week. |
20. | *Mike Tolbert SD at NE Note: (Knee) Already cleared to practice for Week 2. Wasn't on the initial injury/practice participation report on Wednesday. |
21. | Reggie Bush MIA vs. Hou |
22. | Frank Gore SF vs. Dal Note: Milquetoast results in a positive matchup. |
23. | DeAngelo Williams CAR vs. GB |
24. | Mark Ingram NO vs. Chi |
25. | *James Starks GB at Car Note: After Thursday night's game, coach Mike McCarthy said he'd like to get Starks more carries. |
26. | *Willis McGahee DEN vs. Cin Note: Could be in line for a lot of carries this week against the Bengals. Moreno didn't practice all week - McGahee should start. |
27. | *LeGarrette Blount TB at Min Note: Only five carries - it's pretty clear that the Bucs don't trust Blount in obvious passing situations. |
28. | Fred Jackson BUF vs. Oak |
29. | Ben Tate HOU at Mia Note: Ran really well in place of an injured Arian Foster - the only negative being one lost fumble. Dealing with a very minor quad injury. |
30. | Ryan Mathews SD at NE |
31. | *Cadillac Williams STL at NYG Note: Steven Jackson is out this week, so they'll go with a young, durable backup. Er ... wait a second. |
32. | BenJarvus Green-Ellis NE vs. SD Note: Woodhead got more carries, BGE got the goal line carries. |
33. | Joseph Addai IND vs. Cle |

41. | Michael Bush OAK at Buf |
42. | Darren Sproles NO vs. Chi |
43. | LaDainian Tomlinson NYJ vs. Jac |
44. | Danny Woodhead NE vs. SD Note: Woodhead got 14 carries to Green-Ellis' seven. I think this isn't necessarily a static ratio, but more matchup dependent. |
45. | *Delone Carter IND vs. Cle Note: Seems more likely to get the Colts' short-yardage snaps going forward. |
46. | Deji Karim JAC at NYJ Note: Karim got 14 carries in relief of MJD, but did little with them. |
47. | Ricky Williams BAL at Ten |
48. | *Daniel Thomas MIA vs. Hou Note: (Hamstring) Should return this week and get about 30 percent of the carries. Officially listed as probable. |
49. | *Earnest Graham TB at Min Note: Got more carries and catches than Blount, because of the type of matchup and how the game was going. |
50. | Jerome Harrison DET vs. KC |
51. | Bernard Scott CIN at Den |
52. | Montario Hardesty CLE at Ind |

69. | *Chester Taylor ARZ at Was Note: Likely backup this week with LaRod Stephens-Howling nursing two injuries. |
70. | Maurice Morris DET vs. KC |
71. | *Lance Ball DEN vs. Cin Note: Could get more action if Knowshon Moreno is held out. |
72. | *Javon Ringer TEN vs. Bal Note: Hip has improved, but back spasms slower to recover - doubtful for this week. Full participant in Thursday's practice - now seems more likely to be active Sunday. |
73. | Jacquizz Rodgers ATL vs. Phi |
74. | Bilal Powell NYJ vs. Jac |
75. | Keiland Williams DET vs. KC |
76. | *Ryan Torain WAS vs. Ari Note: (Hand) Didn't see any action in Week 1. |

78. | Jerious Norwood STL at NYG |

82. | *Shane Vereen NE vs. SD Note: (Hamstring) Inactive Monday night. |
83. | *Steven Jackson STL at NYG Note: (Quad) Unlikely to play this week. This is why I don't own Jackson. Not expected to play, though not officially ruled out. I wouldn't roll the dice here. |
84. | *Marion Barber CHI at NO Note: (Calf) Expected to return to practice this week. Still listed as doubtful. |
85. | *Derrick Ward HOU at Mia Note: (Ankle) Unlikely to play this week - didn't practice Thursday. Officially out. |

2. | Larry Fitzgerald ARZ at Was |
3. | Brandon Marshall MIA vs. Hou |

9. | Wes Welker NE vs. SD |
10. | DeSean Jackson PHI at Atl |
11. | *Miles Austin DAL at SF Note: (Knee) Limited Friday, but listed as probable. |
12. | *Hakeem Nicks NYG vs. StL Note: Minor knee injury - likely a bone bruise. Insists he'll play Monday night. I've downgraded him a pinch because the injury seems a little bigger than I first expected, and because it's Monday night and you likely will have no recourse if he's a late scratch. |
13. | Vincent Jackson SD at NE |
14. | Anquan Boldin BAL at Ten |
15. | Santana Moss WAS vs. Ari |
16. | Reggie Wayne IND vs. Cle |

19. | *Steve Johnson BUF vs. Oak Note: (Groin) Listed as probable after practicing Friday. |
20. | Percy Harvin MIN vs. TB Note: If he can't overcome this matchup, then we have real problems with McNabb. |

29. | Deion Branch NE vs. SD |
30. | Mike Thomas JAC at NYJ Note: Revis Island awaits. |
31. | Davone Bess MIA vs. Hou |
32. | *Dez Bryant DAL at SF Note: (Quad) Hasn't been able to practice all week - listed as questionable and will be a game-time decision. Making matters worse, he plays a late-afternoon game Sunday, giving you fewer replacement options, if your league even allows you to make replacements for the afternoon games. |
33. | Brandon Gibson STL at NYG Note: Added to the rankings - might go higher if/when I get more clarity on who is starting. |
34. | Julio Jones ATL vs. Phi |
35. | *Santonio Holmes NYJ vs. Jac Note: (Ankle/quad) Hurt himself in practice this week. Questionable and a game-time decision. |
36. | *Austin Collie IND vs. Cle Note: (Foot) Targeted just three times by Collins. |
37. | *Devery Henderson NO vs. Chi Note: Got nine targets last week, could get more of the same with Colston hurt. |

39. | *Johnny Knox CHI at NO Note: Small bump up with Roy Williams questionable. |
40. | Chad Ochocinco NE vs. SD Note: Over 500 yards for Brady, just 14 for Ochocinco. |
41. | *Lee Evans BAL at Ten Note: (Ankle) Was in a walking boot earlier in the week, but now he's probable. |

49. | Early Doucet ARZ at Was |
50. | *Eddie Royal DEN vs. Cin Note: Could get a lot more targets if Brandon Lloyd has to sit. |
51. | *Roy Williams CHI at NO Note: (Groin) Didn't practice Thursday, questionable for this week. ***FRIDAY Update*** - Game-time decision. |
52. | Hines Ward PIT vs. Sea |
53. | *Mohamed Massaquoi CLE at Ind Note: (Hamstring) Probable after a full practice Friday. |
54. | Mike Williams SEA at Pit |
55. | *Eric Decker DEN vs. Cin Note: Not only did he have the big punt return, but he had three catches and five targets. |
56. | *Jacoby Jones HOU at Mia Note: Could start as #2 receiver if Walter can't go. Also returned a punt for a TD last week. |
57. | Pierre Garcon IND vs. Cle |
58. | *Darrius Heyward-Bey OAK at Buf Note: (Knee) Questionable, but with both Ford and Murphy out, it'll take a lot to keep him out too. |
59. | Derrick Mason NYJ vs. Jac |
60. | Arrelious Benn TB at Min |
61. | Nate Washington TEN vs. Bal Note: Titans' number-two target. |
62. | Emmanuel Sanders PIT vs. Sea |

64. | Antonio Brown PIT vs. Sea |
65. | Steve Breaston KC at Det |

70. | Brandon LaFell CAR vs. GB |
71. | James Jones GB at Car |
72. | Andre Roberts ARZ at Was |
73. | *Lance Moore NO vs. Chi Note: (Groin) Listed as questionable, but he seems optimistic about his chances of playing. |
74. | Donald Jones BUF vs. Oak |
75. | David Nelson BUF vs. Oak Note: Jones is the #2, but Nelson got more targets. |
76. | *Danario Alexander STL at NYG Note: Could end up starting as a result of Amendola's injury. |
77. | Anthony Armstrong WAS vs. Ari |
78. | Jordan Shipley CIN at Den |
79. | *Steven Smith PHI at Atl Note: (Knee) Listed as probable. |
80. | *Chaz Schilens OAK at Buf Note: All of a sudden he's potentially viable, thanks to other injuries to the Raider WRs. |

82. | Titus Young DET vs. KC |
83. | Josh Morgan SF vs. Dal |
84. | Preston Parker TB at Min |

13. | *Hakeem Nicks NYG vs. StL Note: Minor knee injury - likely a bone bruise. Insists he'll play Monday night. I've downgraded him a pinch because the injury seems a little bigger than I first expected, and because it's Monday night and you likely will have no recourse if he's a late scratch. |
