Who is Making Fantasy Headlines in 2011
[Points based on standard scoring]
NEWTON TOPS CHARTS AGAIN
The Panthers have found themselves a gem of a quarterback in Cam Newton. In his first two starts this season he has simply been magical, posting some incredible numbers. Sure there have been a few growing pains (four turnovers), but fantasy owners can’t complain about his production. In week two Newton passed for another 432 yards added 53 more yards on the ground and scored twice (one passing, one rushing). His season total is now at five touchdowns and you can expect a lot more going forward. (28 fantasy points)
STAFFORD CONTINUES TO SIZZLE
The Lions are on a roll and 3rd year quarterback Matthew Stafford is roaring loudest with his arm. After a strong performance back in week one Stafford backed up his play with another stellar game in week 2. The young Lion threw four touchdown passes and 294 yards passing on Sunday and looks poised to have many more afternoons like this one. (33 fantasy points)
PETERSON IS A MAN AMONG BOYS
The Vikings running back Adrian Peterson plowed his way through the Buccaneers defense on Sunday for 120 yards on the ground averaging nearly five yards per carry. Peterson also added two more rushing touchdowns to his totals to lead the ground assault. Right now Peterson is a beast on the field with no equal; the number one fantasy running back in most formats. (26 fantasy points)
VINCENT FLYS HIGH ON SUNDAY
The Chargers explosive receiver was pure TNT on Sunday, scorching the Patriots secondary for big play after big play. Jackson caught 10 balls for 172 yards in the air and scored twice to lead the Bolts. Jackson looked unstoppable on Sunday and should be viewed as one of the league’s elite pass-catchers going forward; expect more big games. (29 fantasy points)
FITZPATRICK KEEPS THE HOT HAND
The Bills have found their Jim Kelly replacement in quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. The signal caller is off to a fast start this season and last week’s stat line is a good indication of how hot he is; three touchdowns and 264 yards passing. Fitzpatrick’s seven passing touchdowns tops the list in the NFL (tied with Stafford and Brady), but it remains to be seen if he can continue this torrid pace. (28 fantasy points)
MACLIN SHINES AGAINST THE FALCONS
It may have been all the attention the defense paid to shutting down wide receiver DeSean Jackson, but nonetheless you can hardly argue the effort turned in by Eagles wide out Jeremy Maclin. The stud receiver was just that Sunday night grabbing 13 balls for 171 yards receiving with two touchdowns to lead the Eagles passing attack. (29 fantasy points)

HARPER PLAYS BIG IN SAINTS WIN
The Saints safety recorded two sacks to go with seven tackles to lead the team in its’ big win over the visiting Bears. Harper also added a forced fumble for good measure. The Saints defensive back is off to a fast start with 16 total tackles and 2-1/2 sacks in two games and looks like a fantasy IDP gem in the early part of this season.
BISHOP IS QUIETLY BECOMING A STAR
The Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop is churning out solid performances with regularity. After a strong week one showing, Bishop came back with another nine tackles and one sack in a week two victory over the Panthers. Bishop appears to be a staple in the Packers defense unit and should continue to be a strong IDP option throughout the season.
