Sunday Morning Gametime
There’s no doubt that the NFL got off to a high flying start in week one and if you are thinking that the offenses might become a little grounded in week 2, don’t hold your breath. With the Bolts of San Diego and Philip Rivers (335 yards passing) traveling to Foxboro to face Tom Brady (517 yards passing) this matchup promises to be filled with plenty of fireworks. It’s not just the high profile contests that will generate lots of fantasy scoring, but there are quite a few enticing matchups today that will garner plenty of attention.
Watch-list
Last week the quarterback Matt Stafford (three touchdown passes) started off with a hot hand on the road against the Buccaneers. This week the young Lion will be at home and have a very tasty matchup against a Chiefs secondary that yielded four touchdowns a week ago.
Like Stafford, I like quarterback Rex Grossman to back up his week one success with another strong outing against a very shaky Cardinals’ secondary that allowed over 400 yards passing in week one. Grossman might not have a ton of yards, but he’ll connect in the end-zone a number of times.
After their dismal start a week ago against the Ravens, I am expecting a big day from Steelers’ running back Rashard Mendenhall. A week ago Mendenhall only gained 45 yards on 12 carries, fantasy owners can look forward to both of those numbers increasing significantly today when the Steelers host the Seahawks.
On Monday the great play of Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall was overshadowed by huge games turned in by the Patriots offense. Marshall was solid out of the gate with seven catches for over 100 yards. He could see similar results today against a Texans secondary that allowed over 100 yards receiving to Colts wide out Reggie Wayne.
One more player to watch today is Browns’ running back Peyton Hillis. Last week against the Bengals Hillis was held in check limited to just 57 yards on the ground. Today he faces the Colts run defense that surrendered 167 yards on the ground last week, so look for Hillis to get things rolling today.

My Picks Today
My “Four Horsemen”
Matt Schaub; It’s hard not to like a quarterback that gets to face a defense that just allowed over 500 yards passing a week ago.
Rashard Mendenhall; The Steelers were embarrassed a week ago, I expect them to really try to imp0se their will and pound the ball. I am looking for a lot of Mendenhall today.
Stevie Johnson; The Bills are hot at the moment coming off an impressive win last week; they will try to build off this momentum today by attacking the Raiders questionable secondary. I expect Stevie Johnson to see plenty of chances today to find the end-zone.
Dustin Keller; I missed my pick here last week, but today against the Jaguars I like Keller to pick up the slack in the passing game with an ailing Santonio Holmes.
