- Chris Cooley (7-83) caught seven passes for the second consecutive game. He’s the only consistent part of the Washington passing game right now.

- Brent Celek (8-104) has 14 catches through two games and is an integral part of the Eagles’ offense. Start him with confidence.

- I thought Tony Gonzalez’s production would take a hit since he had to change teams and learn a new offense, but given his 12-144-2 production over the first two weeks, I’d say he’s doing just fine.

- With Antonio Bryant out, Kellen Winslow (7-90-1) had a big day. He is the Bucs’ best or second-best receiving option even when Bryant is playing.

- Greg Olsen (3-41) was drilled on what could have been a 20-yard catch and slipped in the endzone on a sure TD catch. His line could have been 5-62-1. Stay with him unless you have a great option on your bench.

- Greg Jennings was shut out against the Bengals. Now that’s something I never thought I’d type.

- If Laurent Robinson (6-54-1) is available on your waiver wire, find a spot for him on your roster. He caught five passes for 87 yards last week and looks like the clear WR1 for the Rams, who will be throwing a lot late in games.

- Braylon Edwards (6-92) should be able to put those kind of stats up on a weekly basis given the odds that the Browns will be trailing for most of 2009.

- Santana Moss (3-35) was quiet for the second consecutive week, but this time it was against the Rams. Bench him until he (or the Redskins’ pass offense) breaks out of this funk.

- Mike Sims-Walker (6-106-1) had a huge day in garbage time. He’s worth a pickup if you need help at WR.

- Jason Avant (7-79-1) was heavily involved in the Eagles’ offense with Kolb under center.

- Owners in PPR leagues, especially Wes Welker owners, should pick up Julian Edelman (8-98). If Welker doesn’t play, Edelman looks like a very capable fill in.

- Bobby Wade (6-72) looks like the KC WR2 (over Mark Bradley, who did not catch a pass against the Raiders). Wade looks like a good guy to have in PPR leagues. KC will be trailing a lot this year and the underneath will be open.

- Minnesota really looks for Percy Harvin (5-41-1) in the redzone. He looks like a solid WR3/flex start, especially in PPR leagues.

- Michael Clayton (2-27) failed to step up, so there doesn’t seem to be a TB WR worth starting with Antonio Bryant sidelined.

- After a somewhat decent first week, Josh Morgan (0-0) was a no show. Bench him until further notice.

- Santonio Holmes (5-83) let a TD catch go through his hands, but still put up decent numbers. He’s probably going to play well when the Steelers face a good rush defense, like they did today.

- It might be time to pick up Johnny Knox (6-70-1). Devin Hester (4-21) and Earl Bennett (2-22) are shaky fantasy starters at best.

- The Ravens’ WR corps is kind of a three-headed monster. Kelly Washington (4-58-1) had a big game this week, while Derrick Mason (3-31) and Mark Clayton (1-20) had quiet days. Since Baltimore is more of a running team, it’s possible that this team won’t have a clear every-week fantasy starter at WR.

- Vincent Jackson (6-141-1) is a budding stud and should be in fantasy lineups every week, especially since the Chargers defense is going to struggle to stop the run without NT Jamal Williams.

- It’s not clear what’s going on with Brandon Marshall (3-34, 14 rush). He was on the sidelines for long stretches in the first half, even when the Broncos went to 3 WR formation. If you can afford to bench him, do so, at least until his playing time gets back to normal.

- Eddie Royal (3-20) had another quiet game, but was targeted nine times in the final three quarters. (He wasn’t targeted in the first quarter.) It could be that Kyle Orton doesn’t have the arm strength to get the ball to his outside WRs.

- The Giants’ WR corps was a hot topic of conversation heading into the season, but Mario Manningham (10-150-1) and Steve Smith (10-134-1) have excelled with Hakeem Nicks and Domenik Hixon sidelined. As long as Nicks is out, Manningham and Smith look like must-starts, at least in PPR leagues. It seemed like Manningham was already overtaking Hixon before his knee injury Sunday night.

- Wow, 284 total yards and three TD for Chris Johnson. And to think, a couple of owners on our Fantasy Q&A were wondering if they should bench him this week after a subpar outing against the Steelers.

- Beanie Wells fumbled, so Tim Hightower (18 touches, 84 yards, TD) got most of the work in the Arizona backfield. Wells looked more explosive, but Hightower is more dependable right now.

- Leon Washington (16 touches, 76 yards) out-touched Thomas Jones (15 touches, 53 yards), and is a solid RB2/flex start in PPR leagues.

- It might be a good time to make an offer for Steve Slaton (20 touches, 59 yards), who has faced two tough rush defenses in the Jets and the Titans so far.

- Cedric Benson (29 carries, 141 yards) is starting to look like an every-week start. He is running with speed, power and elusiveness, and is turning into the back that the Bears thought they drafted a few years ago. Sometimes a change of scenery is all a guy needs.

- This season, the Falcons have been unable to line up and run the ball down the opponent’s throat. Michael Turner (28 carries, 105 yards, TD) had trouble finding running lanes early on, but managed to score late. He is going to be spotty week to week.

- The Bucs couldn’t run the ball, but Carnell Williams was heavily involved in the passing game, catching seven passes for 56 yards and TD. This was the role that I thought Derrick Ward (10 touches, 37 yards) was brought to Tampa to fill.

- Fred Jackson (34 touches, 185 yards) has been the man with Marshawn Lynch out and has proven that he deserves some touches even when Lynch returns. Still, I don’t think he’ll hold up if he’s getting 25-30 a game, so expect him to take a more complementary role in Week 4.

- Matt Forte (18 touches, 62 yards) didn’t have a very good fantasy line, but at least he was involved in the passing game (with five catches).

- We didn’t really see the RBBC that we were supposed to see in the Steeler backfield. Willie Parker had 15 touches (50 yards), Rashard Mendenhall had four touches (for 52 yards, including a 39-yard scamper) and Mewelde Moore had five touches (for 28 yards).

- Willis McGahee (17 touches, 89 yards, 2 TD) out-carried Ray Rice (13 touches, 82 yards) 15 to 8, but Rice was more involved in the passing game (5-46). McGahee looks like the better start right now given his goal line duties.

- Darren Sproles couldn’t run the ball (10 carries, 26 yards), but he was very productive through the air (7 catches, 124 yards, TD). Pick him up if available.

- Knowshon Moreno got 19 touches (for 97 yards) to Correll Buckhalter’s 10 (for 106 yards), so it appears that the team wants to feature the rookie more than they did in the first game at Cincy.

- Marion Barber (20 touches, 155 yards, TD) was a beast on Sunday night. That is, until he strained his quad. Keep an eye on him this week and grab Felix Jones if he’s available.

- Matt Schaub (357 yards, 4 TD) is back, and the Titans have been shredded through the air in two consecutive weeks.

- Jason Campbell threw for good yardage (242 yards) but failed to throw a TD, which is worrisome considering that he was facing a pretty suspect Rams defense.

- Matt Cassel (242 yards, TD, 2 INT) wasn’t great in his first game back, but he was serviceable, and should be a decent start going forward.

- Carson Palmer (185 yards, 3 pass TD, 2 INT, 1 rush TD) didn’t look great, but he got the job done. With all the weapons around him, he should have a nice year, assuming he can stay healthy.

- Aaron Rodgers (261 yards, TD) couldn’t get comfortable in the pocket for the second consecutive week. The Packers need to button up their pass protection.

- In two weeks, Byron Leftwich has thrown for 572 yards and four TD and is a viable fantasy QB given the probability that the Bucs will be trailing for much of the season.

- If the 49ers keep playing this kind of defense and Frank Gore runs like he did today, it’s going to be tough for Shaun Hill to fulfill his sleeper potential. He was very productive over the last half of last season, but the 49ers didn’t have a good defense. Now it looks like they do.

- Seneca Wallace (127 passing yards, TD, INT) could be a nice fill in if Matt Hasselbeck (back) misses much time. Hasselbeck looked like he was in considerable pain after taking a pretty good hit to his balky back.

- Jay Cutler (236 yards, 2 TD) looked a lot better against the Steelers than he did in Week 1. He’s back to every-week starter status.

- With the Bucs, Chiefs, Raiders, Saints and Cardinals coming up for Eli Manning (330 yards, 2 TD), he could get off to a very good start this season.

- Tony Romo (127 yards, TD, 3 INT, rush TD) struggled against the Giants, but New York looks like it has an elite pass defense. He has a nice schedule coming up.

Matt Cassel is active. He faces the Raiders, which isn’t a very good matchup, but he can be started if necessary. His situation seems pretty fluid, so be careful.

Pierre Thomas will play, but will be limited. The general consensus was that Thomas wouldn’t play this week, so this is a bit of a downgrade for Mike Bell, though he is still startable as a RB2 or flex. The Philly defense will be a good test for Drew Brees and Co., and the Saints will need to get their running game going. Pierre should stay on the bench, But Bell should get 15-20 carries unless the Saints fall behind early.

Anquan Boldin looks good in pregame and will play. John Clayton is reporting that Boldin has his speed back. Start him as you normally would. Steve Breaston is also active.

Saints beat writer Jeff Duncan speculates that Pierre Thomas’s injury is worse than the team is letting on. Duncan says that HC Sean Payton comes from the Belichick school of releasing injury information to the media. If Thomas doesn’t play, Mike Bell is a decent start even though the Eagles are pretty good defensively. Philly gave up 72 rushing yards to DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, and the Saints have a much better passing attack than Carolina does. This should keep the Eagles off balance and open up some running lanes. Assuming Thomas sits, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bell had 80-90 yards rushing and a TD in Week 2.

Jamal Lewis probable to start. Rookie James Davis is still questionable with a shoulder injury, so Lewis should be a serviceable start against the Broncos, who gave up 108 total yards and a TD to Cedric Benson last week.

Redskins’ beat writer thinks the team will take more shots downfield in Week 2. This would be good news for Santana Moss, who is a big-play receiver. The Giants smothered him in Week 1, but he should have an easier time getting open against a sketchy Rams defense.

HC Haley wants to get the running game on track. Well, of course he does. But it’s good to hear that Haley isn’t ignoring the problem. The Raiders really struggled against the run last season, but played better in Week 1 against the Chargers, so we’re not sure LJ is a sure bet for a good game. He’s startable if you’re in a pinch, however.

Matt Schaub is close to 100 percent. The Titans gave up a lot of yards through the air to Ben Roethlisberger last week, so there is a possibility that Schaub could have a bounce-back game this week. I’m not excited about his prospects, but he’s not a terrible start.

HC McDaniels plans to spread the ball around. He doesn’t want to name a WR1 because he doesn’t want to get into the habit of forcing the ball to a guy that’s double-teamed. In Week 1, Marshall led the way with seven targets, while Eddie Royal, Jabar Gaffney and Brandon Stokley had four targets apiece. Expect Marshall and Royal to lead the team in targets this season.

Steelers to use rotation at RB. Willie Parker will get two series and Rashard Mendenhall one until one player gets a hot hand. Mewelde Moore will be in on third downs and in no huddle situations. It was a little more than a week ago that HC Mike Tomlin said that Willie Parker was his running back. A lot can change in a week.

Vikings intent on involving Bernard Berrian more. Berrian should be a nice play this week against the Lions, but he and Brett Favre haven’t had a lot of time to work together and it showed in Week 1 against the Browns.

Knowshon Moreno says he feels 100 percent. He also says that he ran tentatively against the Broncos, but should be ready to go against the Browns, who gave up a ton of yards to Adrian Peterson last week.

Matt Cassel is feeling much better. The Chiefs haven’t committed to announcing him as the starter, but most of the signs point to that being the case. The Raiders are actually pretty tough against the pass, so if you can hold off on starting Cassel, do so.

LaDainian Tomlinson sits out again. Given the horrible matchup against the Ravens, it would be wise to avoid using LT2 this week. If he doesn’t play and you have Darren Sproles, he could be used as a flex or as a RB2 if you’re in a PPR league.

Brandon Marshall refuses to answer the media’s questions. This could be a sign that Marshall’s attitude isn’t as good as it has seemed over the past couple of weeks and that he’s headed for a meltdown. It could also be a sign that he blames the media for all the problems he’s having in Denver and he’s going to punish them for it. Marshall has too much talent to ignore.

T.O. wants his QB to go deep. “…Trent has to better assess what he’s seeing out there and take some shots down the field. We’re going to do that, and by no means was that the reason that we lost the game.” That’s not quite the controversial Owens that we saw in Philly and Dallas, but we’ll see if it develops. The Bills should have some opportunities to go deep against the Bucs, who were torched by T.O.’s old team last week.
