Injury Updates: The four major injuries coming into week two appear to be:
1. Donovan McNabb – Unlikely to play with rib injury
2. LaDainian Tomlinson – Gametime decision with ankle injury
3. Matt Cassel – Probable to come back this week.
4. Pierre Thomas – Knee in heavy brace but possibly on track to play
On to the games:
Carolina at Atlanta
Panthers: Can Jake Delhomme look much worse than the last two games he has played? I doubt it. I look for them to bounce back offensively in this contest.
Steve Smith should be a solid play in this one as last year in two contests he had over 300 yards receiving and 1 TD in contests versus the Falcons
Falcons: Not really sure on what to expect from the Atlanta offense in this one. I would say they would have to abandon the run to play catch up to Carolina’s offense thus I would consider playing Matt Ryan, Roddy, and Gonzo this week.
Minnesota at Detroit
Vikings: Adrian Peterson owners have to be salivating at another fine matchup this week against the lowly Lions. It could be another 150+ yard multi TD day for All Day. The Vikings defense is a solid play this week.
Lions: Seeing that Kevin Smith is most of the Lions offense until Stafford gets his feet wet in the next few games, Smith and the Lions should be in for a long day against the Williams Wall.
Cincinnati at Green Bay
Bengals: The Bengal offense did not produce much against what was a horrible defense last year in Denver last week. The Packers played very well defensively in week one and should have another good week upcoming versus the Bungles.
Packers: The Bears kept Aaron Rodgers and the offense out of rhythm all night last week. I don’t think the Bengals can put on the QB pressure that the Bears did though and look for this offense to put up some big numbers this week.
Most skill position players for the Packers should be in your starting lineup this week as well as the Packer defense too.
Houston at Tennessee
Texans: Should be another rough week for the Texans to get off the ground with stout Titan defense this week. Other than Andre Johnson, I think you sit the rest of the Texans this week.
Titans: The Texans gave up a ton of rushing yards to the Jets in week one. Look for more of the same to continue against the run heavy Titan offense. Chris Johnson and LenDale White are must starts this week.
Oakland at Kansas City
Raiders: I think the Raiders actually have a nice matchup this week against the Chiefs. I would definitely start Darren McFadden this week, along with the guy everyone should be watching as an early waiver wire pickup, Louis Murphy.
Chiefs: The one area of defense that the Raiders lack is run defense. That should allow Larry Johnson to have a nice day as he had 92 yards and a TD in the two team’s last encounter.
New England at New York Jets
