Yeah, I'm posting this shit early. I just don't know if I'll have another free second this week to actually calm down and think about these logically. My brain is pretty close to being fried.

After last week, the standing are this:
Mike: 10 right
Kevin: 8 right
Adam: 8 right

Okay, go reply and make your Week 2 picks before reading mine.

Week 2:
Tennessee over Cincinnati
Jacksonville over Buffalo
Minnesota over Indianapolis
Green Bay over Detroit
Tampa Bay over Atlanta
New York over St. Louis
Kansas City over Oakland
Carolina over Chicago
Washington over New Orleans
Seattle over San Francisco
New England over New York
San Diego over Denver
Arizona over Miami
Houston over Baltimore
Pittsburgh over Cleveland
Dallas over Philadelphia

My shocker special: Those Redskins! At home against a nice, cushy Saints defense, and something to prove. Sniff sniff....smells like an upset!

Fantasy Guys I Was Impressed With This Past Week:
QB: Jay Cutler. McNabb had the best stats, but that game was at home against St. Louis (sorry, but even with mediocre receivers a QB can succeed there). Cutler went to Oakland, where in the past he's done horrible. He also went there without his best receiver and a question mark at running back. All he did was throw for 300 and 2 touches. I was so upset losing this guy in our fantasy draft to Amber (2 picks away!), and he looked awesome.


WR: Randy Moss. Nobody had a particularly stellar stat line out of the receivers except for a few. I chose Moss because when Brady went down in the 1st quarter I fully expected Moss to be non-existant for the rest of the game. But I credit Moss, he played hard for the full four quarters, and he was rewarded with 116 and a touch. The Patriots need him, and I am worried he'll shut it down if Cassel doesn't deliver him the ball, or the Pats start to lose. For one week though, he surprised me.

RB: Willie Parker. Yes, Turner had the 200+, but Parker was the top fantasy back. Three touchdowns? He had only 2 all of last year (which, Kevin, has to make you thrilled to see)! He looks like the Willie Parker of old, when he scored in the double digits in TDs a couple years ago. Mendenhall, who?

TE: Dante Rosario. Game winning TD catch, 96 yards and a touchdown. Well done, sir, well done. Time will tell if he's a one-hit wonder (Steve Smith is coming back soon...), but for one week, he's king of the tight ends.
