Good Surprises, Bad Surprises from Fantasy Football Week 2

We are now two weeks into the NFL season, and many fantasy owners are scrambling to readjust their lineups and scour the waiver wire.

There were a rash of injuries on Sunday, with Robert Griffin III, DeSean Jackson, Knowshon Moreno and A.J. Green all leaving their respective games.

But a number of players also put up shockingly big numbers, so let's take a look at three of them now.

Good Surprises 

Delanie Walker, TE, Tennessee Titans

I picked up Walker off the waiver wire in one of my leagues for this week, but I'll be honest—even I didn't see this coming.

The 30-year-old tight end had the game of his life against the Dallas Cowboys, catching 10 passes for 142 yards and a score, which was a beautiful 62-yarder that showcased some surprising breakaway speed.

Jake Locker clearly likes Walker, and while he won't replicate those totals again this season, he's well worth a pickup if he's still available and is a legitimate TE1 at this point.

Darren Sproles, RB, Philadelphia Eagles

Who would have guessed that Sproles would be producing at the same (actually even higher) rate as LeSean McCoy?

One can only hope that fantasy owners were smart enough to start Sproles before he went "beast mode" on Indianapolis on Monday night.

He only had four carries for 26 yards, although he did turn one into a touchdown. But it was his outrageous seven catches and 152 receiving yards (and a score) that turned him into one of the highest scorers of the week.

Kirk Cousins, QB, Washington Redskins

Was this it for Robert Griffin III? Honestly, it really might be after the way Cousins played in relief on Sunday.

RGIII hasn't accomplished very much as an NFL quarterback yet, and he's been extremely fragile. But Cousins has been solid when called upon, and he was excellent against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He came on and threw a touchdown pass right away and finished the game 22-of-33 for 250 yards and two touchdowns. He's a must-add for RGIII owners and is a viable backup option for others moving forward.

Jeremy Hill, RB, Cincinnati Bengals

Hill has made a strong case to be the front-runner for rookie of the year thus far, and he looked very impressive against Atlanta this past Sunday.

The Bengals seem committed to a two-back approach, and it has paid off very nicely with Hill and Gio Bernard shouldering the offensive load.

He had 15 attempts for 79 yards and a touchdown and added in two catches for 22 yards as well. If he keeps up that level of production all season, he'll end up as one of the biggest bargains of the year.

Bad Surprises

On the other end of the spectrum, these three players were all respective duds in Week 2 and likely had fantasy owners yelling at their televisions (or computer screens) all day.

Bishop Sankey, RB, Tennessee Titans

In the complete opposite circumstance from fellow rookie running back Hill, Sankey is looking like the early candidate for biggest rookie fantasy bust. 

I guess Shonn Greene really is the full-fledged starter in Tennessee, despite not looking particularly good in either of the team's first two games. But Sankey has done even less.

He had just two rushes against Dallas and gained three total yards. He also had zero targets and was a complete non-factor throughout the entire loss.

Rob Gronkowski, TE, New England Patriots

After catching four passes for 40 yards and scoring a touchdown in Week 1, nobody was particularly enthused by Gronk's performance.

But he had 11 targets and could have easily had a monster day if a few breaks went his way. More importantly, he looked healthy enough and then had an entire week to recover more.

Going up against a weak Minnesota defense, Gronkowski was set up for domination. But while his Patriots teammates did just that, the big tight end finished with a mere four catches and 32 yards on the day. 

Marques Colston, WR, New Orleans Saints

What the heck? I can imagine that's what Colston owners were saying as they continually refreshed their pages to check his stats.

It's pretty rare for a No. 1 receiver on a pass-heavy offense to be held without a reception in a game, and it's even rarer for them to not even get a single target.

While Week 2 is likely just an anomaly, there has to be some concern about the currently healthy Colston and his role in the Saints offense moving forward as Brandin Cooks, Jimmy Graham and Mark Ingram lead the way.
