Week 1 Recap: Fantasy Football

A ton will be written this week about how certain players were genius picks (The Jones' RB) or how you never should have picked any Texan. Everybody chill out, it's one week and one game. You really need a month to see how you team and acquire your assets to help you through the bye weeks.

WOW! Performances of The Week

• Drew Brees - 6 TD!, it's the Lions in all
• Tony Romo - 3 TD, and he's on my team
• Thomas/Julius Jones - 100 yards and a TD each (Thomas even had two)
• Reggie Wayne - 10 catches and 162 yarda and #2 goes down
• Eagles DEF - 5 sacks, 5 picks, TD, and 2 fumbles

WTF! Perfromances of The Week

• Michael Turner - 65 yards
• Andre Johnson - 4 rec, 35 yds
• Anquan Boldin - 2 rec, 19 yds
• Steve Slaton - 17 yards and a fumble
• Brandon Jacobs - 46 yards (Ahmad outplayed you)

Trends to Keep An Eye On

• Ahmad Bradshaw/Donald Brown stealing carries from Brandon Jacobs and Joseph Addai
• How do RB committees for Cowboys, Jets, Cardinals and Bucs play out as well?
• Brian Westbrook and Lesean McCoy while McNabb is out
• Is Jake Delhomme done done?
• Should Joe Flacco be starting in fantasy after 300 yards today?
• Will Austin Collie step up in Indy with Anthony Gonzalez out?
• Hixon-Manningham-Barden as #1 NY Giants receiver

Trade Targets

• Andre Johnson/Steve Slaton/Matt Schaub - after the Titans shut them down in week 2, schedule goes Jags-Raiders-Cards-Bengals-49ers so start the conversations now
• Brandon Marshall - bad first week, especially if you drafted early the owner is more likely to move him
• Anthony Gonzalez - out a month returns to Rams, 49ers, Texans fot Colts in weeks 7-8-9
• Steven Jackson - team stinks, but he doesn't
• Ahmad Bradshaw - give him some time and he'll be starting in NYG
• Anquan Boldin - injured and had a bad week

Waiver Wire Picks

• Mike Bell - Saints RB this week and more (ownership under 15% in CBS & ESPN before today)
• Austin Collie - Colts new #2 with Anthony Gonzalez down
• Earl Bennett - Jay Cutler's college roomie and now Bears tandem
• Matt Cassel (OAK), Jason Campbell (STL), Brady Quinn (DEN) - a QB if you lost McNabb to fill-in for you next week and possibly longer as McNabb is out until week 5 because there bye is in week 4 and I don't think Reid will rush him back for NO or KC

Note: This post will be Tuesday to include MNF and better injury updates moving forward
