Bills WR David Nelson could end up being Ryan Fitzpatrick's No. 2 wideout. He has great size and hauled in four catches for 66 yards in the season opener. He shared the lead in targets with Stevie Johnson at six, so keep an Cincinnati Bengals Jersey eye on how he does in Week Two.Ravens WR Lee Evans didn't catch a pass in Week One (four targets) and was in a walking boot on Wednesday. Though the boot was reportedly gone Thursday, Evans can't be highly recommended after this challenging start. Let's see him do it on the field, as this harkens to his days with Buffalo, high hopes but minimal production.Bengals WR A.J. Green's lone catch in Week One went for a touchdown, but he was targeted just four times. Green is very talented but had a tough matchup in rising Browns star CB Joe Haden, and the Bengals looked elsewhere more frequently. Nevertheless, Green did flash the skill that made him such a well-regarded prospect, and not just on the TD catch.

However, he's merely a flex or injury fill-in, as his touchdown was a trick play with a quick count. Prior to that, Green had been shut down all day. Look for the Bengals to establish the run and lean on Cedric Benson.Bengals WR Jerome Simpson was targeted a team-high nine times in Week One, but he caught just 4-44-0, and his play was inconsistent. He's a bench player as rookie QB Andy Dalton (wrist) is not 100 percent and the team is still learning a new offense and developing chemistry with one another. Don't forget, No. 1 option A.J. Green was shut down, and the team wants to see chemistry built between Dalton and Green.Steelers WR Antonio Brown caught just two passes in Week One, but he was targeted nine times. Only Mike Wallace (11 targets) had more passes thrown his way, and Brown had as many targets as Hines Ward. Brown will eventually be a bye-week and injury fill-in, but let's see how the Steelers use their wideouts this week before inserting him into the lineup. Risky, yes, but Brown's not a starter, rotating in and out, and still needs to develop chemistry with QB Ben Roethlisberger.

Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi was targeted seven times in Week One, and he caught a 56-yard pass on a blown coverage by Cincinnati. He was limited with a hamstring injury Wednesday, but he's likely to play Sunday, it appears. Until the wideouts figure their roles out, look for QB Colt McCoy to focus on the TE position. Massaquoi has upside, thus making him a waiver pick, but don't start him until we see consistency.Although the Colts' offense sputtered in Houston in Week One, WR Reggie Wayne was still productive, posting the 36th regular-season 100-yard receiving output of his career (Wayne piled up 106 yards on seven catches with one score). Wayne will be blanketed by promising, young CB Joe Haden on Sunday, but Haden did allow Bengals WR A.J. Green to break free for his first career TD reception in Week One. Colts QB Kerry Collins did not look good in his Colts debut, but he did target Wayne 11 times and figures to lean on his All-Pro WR as he gets acclimated in a new system. The fact RB Joseph Addai and TE Dallas Clark have to stay in and block more often now bodes well for Wayne's prospects to continue seeing most of the targets.

Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe has a history of disappearing in key spots, and he did it again in Week One, hauling in just two passes when his team was in need of a big play. QB Matt Cassel did not ignore Bowe as he did see eight targets, leading all receivers. Facing the Lions secondary in Week Two, Bowe is looking at now-or-never time, as the Chiefs will be desperate for a win and fantasy owners are desperate for the production that many predicted would come from the No. 1 wideout this season.The Patriots' secondary had trouble defending the Dolphins' below-average passing game in Week One. Now it must face the high-octane Chargers, which is good news NFL New England Patriots Jerseys for owners of Vincent Jackson and Malcom Floyd. Neither Bolt receiver did much in the season opener, as the Vikings made it a priority to slow down San Diego's vertical passing game. Even if Authentic Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys the Patriots do the same, look for the receivers to still make some plays down the field. The last time the Cheap Ravens Jersey duo faced the Patriots, 2008, Jackson (5-94-1) and Floyd (3-75-1) combined for eight receptions, 169 yards and two touchdowns. Jackson is a No. 1 fantasy wideout, and Floyd a flex play.

Tough call on Hakeem Nicks (bone bruise), who gets an extra day of rest because of the Monday-night game, but you are probably going to have to start someone else Sunday if you don't feel comfortable waiting until game time. If you have a Rams receiver or Mario Manningham, Jets Jerseys Shop you can afford to wait, but there also will be a drop-off in potential production. Nicks is their one bona fide game breaker  and he can play hurt, too. However, you may want to pick up Domenik Hixon if Nicks can't go, as the NFL Reebok Football Bears Jerseys Rams allowed the Eagles' receivers 10 receptions for 162 yards and one touchdown.You'll have to keep an eye on Dez Cheap Vikings Jerseys Bryant (thigh), but the feeling is that he will play, despite his missing practice on Wednesday. Good matchup because, despite the 49ers allowing only 137 yards to Seahawks' receivers, Seattle did score two touchdowns, and last season the 49ers allowed opposing wideouts 13 receptions, 168 yards and 1.25 touchdowns per game.It's still not the time to break out Eagles WR Steve Smith (knee), who is working his way back into form.

 He's practicing this week but will have the training wheels kept on, so to speak. Last week he was not targeted and has no real role in the offense. He belongs on your bench.Lions WR Calvin Johnson (ankle) missed practice Wednesday and Thursday but has reportedly said he plans to play in Week Two vs. Kansas City. If he goes, he's very obviously a must-start. You never bench him, barring a serious injury, but do monitor the ankle as two straight missed practices isn't a great sign.Marques Colston (broken collarbone) will not play Sunday vs. the Bears, and the Saints' other injured receiver, Lance Moore (groin), returned to practice, but was limited, on Wednesday. Moore is getting closer to returning after missing Week One, but monitor his status over the weekend. Robert Meachem and Devery Henderson are likely to start for New Orleans Sunday.

Meachem is the more appealing fantasy option, but the Saints' passing game could be kept quiet if the Bears' cover-2 Official San Francisco 49ers Jersey defense is well-executed and cuts off the deep ball. Last week the Bears held the Falcons' wideouts to 142 yards and no touchdowns, but regardless, you start Meachem and Henderson because QB Drew Brees can throw on anyone.With Danny Amendola expected to be out for a month, at the very least, after suffering a dislocated elbow in Week One, who will become Rams QB Sam Bradford's new favorite target? Early indications are that the nod goes to Brandon Gibson over newcomer Mike Sims-Walker, who some team insiders tell us might be having a hard time grasping offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' playbook (only one catch for five yards in Week One). Word is Amendola is expected to be replaced in the slot primarily by rookie Greg Salas, who is very sure-handed and a bigger target than the poor man's version of Wes Welker.

Gibson's worth the pickup, but monitor Salas to see how his role develops, if it does.The outlook in San Francisco is not real optimistic on Michael Crabtree, who had to pull out of the season opener when his twice-broken left foot became too much of a burden. Does Crabtree have a chronic foot problem destined to make him a fantasy liability this season? It's starting to look that way. Crabtree has no value at the moment, but don't waive him, just bench him for now and hope he can heal. If any Niners wide receiver is going to make his fantasy presence felt this season  which could be a real stretch if San Francisco's vanilla offense in Week One is any indication  it will probably be Braylon Edwards, who was thrown to a couple of times in the red zone against Seattle in Week One.

"

As an event planner I want allthe logistics to be right for all the media and the TV part ofme wants to do the best we can for Indianapolis."I want to make sure we have great broadcast platforms tomake sure we have great shots of Indianapolis."With an exciting season ahead and a bitter labor disputeresolved, the host committee has shifted into top gear and willremain there until the Vince Lombardi Trophy is handed to thewinning team.Over the next five months the committee's current full-timestaff Official San Francisco 49ers Jersey of 30 will steadily grow and 8,000 volunteers will betrained and brought online.As the Super Bowl clock in the reception area of thecommittee's headquarters counts down to kickoff, the downtowncore is rattling with jackhammers as the fan zone that willserve as the centre of the 10-day festival is constructed.Much like an Olympics, the Super Bowl has grown beyond asimple game to include cultural and Jets Jerseys Shop charitable events andleaving a lasting legacy with the host city.Super Bowl plans in Indianapolis include everything from anEast side revitalization project and multi-million dollarcommunity centre to Super Cure, which will develop a centre forbreast cancer Cheap Ravens Jersey testing and awareness."

I kind of feel like the game is the hub of the wheel,"said Melangton, who was part of the bid committee and part ofthe city's Super Bowl efforts from the beginning. "A lot ofthat is the choice of the host community."The NFL requirements to run the Super Bowl are verylogistic orientated and specific to the stadium and taking careof the constituent groups."We want to have a strong community connection and not likea circus coming to town and going away."FULL STEAM AHEAD'Perhaps no other NFL city had a greater interest in thelockout that threatened to wipe out the 2011 NFL season andscuttle the years of planning that went into successfullybidding and staging a Super Bowl.But Melangton and her team paid little attention to thenegotiations as they pushed ahead with plans, convinced theseason would go off as scheduled."We had an internal philosophy which was don't let thedistraction become a distraction," said Melangton.

"Don't panic" is the theme of the week. Don't drop players who had one bad game and assume they're done. I'm sure a savvy owner will successfully trade for RB Chris Johnson after his subpar Week One performance. It happens every year. Let's see what the waiver wire brings us after one week of play.Note: "Watch list" players are just that, players you watch. Most online software management systems have a way to flag and watch certain players. That's what this list is for.QUARTERBACKSCam Newton, Panthers Newton exploded and broke the NFL record of most yards from a rookie in his first game. He was 24-of-37 for 422 yards and two touchdowns while chipping in 18 yards rushing with one rushing touchdown, exceeding all expectations. He's a waiver-wire pickup, but he'll come back down to Earth as he faces a tougher test against the Packers. I still view him as a No. 3, but once I gain confidence, possibly after a few more games, I'll view him as my No. 2.Ryan Fitzpatrick, Bills Fitzpatrick came out and embarrassed the Chiefs, throwing for 208 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. It was impressive and came out of nowhere, based on how bad I thought the Bills were in the preseason. The Bills' offensive line is going to have problems, and Fitzpatrick is streaky. That's the real killer because you need steady play out of a one-player position such as quarterback. He's a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.Rex Grossman, Redskins Grossman has changed in his time in the NFL, and that happens when you go from Super Bowl starter to bouncing around the league. If someone had stopped watching football after the 2006 season and then watched him against the Redskins this past weekend, they would have just assumed that he had finally matured into the quarterback everyone thought he could be. Some quarterbacks take longer, but against a division rival he went 21-of-34 for 305 yards and two touchdowns. He looked damn good. Pick him up as your No. 2 and see if he can be consistent.QB watch listMatt Hasselbeck, Titans — The veteran looked Official San Francisco 49ers Jersey solid, going 21-of-34 for 263 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. However, it's a new offense. Is he that smooth, or will it get bumpy?RUNNING BACKSBen Tate and Derrick Ward, Texans Tate may not be the starter, but he made a statement to back Arian Foster up with 24 attempts for 116 yards and one touchdown. Ward hurt his ankle and left more for NFL Reebok Football Bears Jerseys precautionary reasons, but I'm sure head coach Gary Kubiak saw how effective Tate was. Ward had 11 attempts for 39 yards and one touchdown. It would not be shocking for Ward to start in name only, with Kubiak putting Tate in there and going with the hot hand. Both are available on many waiver wires, which I found shocking. Pick them up and stash them.Darren Sproles, Saints Sproles has no value as a running back but had nine targets and seven receptions for 75 yards. If you're in a PPR league, you could use him as a flex position, bye-week or injury Cheap Ravens Jersey fill-in player.Cadillac Williams, Rams No one knows what the long-term status of RB Steven Jackson (quadriceps) will be, but he'll probably miss Week Two, which gives you a chance to use Cadillac for one week. He has value and still has gas in the tank, rushing for 91 yards on 19 attempts, a 4.8-yard average. View him as a No. 3 fantasy back.James Starks, Packers Starks just looks powerful and decisive, and even head coach Mike McCarthy stated he deserved more touches. He ran hard for 40 yards at 4.4 yards per attempt. NFL New England Patriots Jerseys View him as a No. 3 fantasy back.WIDE RECEIVERSRobert Meachem and Devery Henderson, Saints The Saints are an offensive fantasy-points machine, but there simply aren't enough footballs. When injury happens, opportunity is created. Marques Colston (collarbone) won't be back for a while, possibly longer than four weeks. Lance Moore (groin) is an unknown in regard to when he can play. That leaves Meachem and Henderson in starting roles. As much as I love Meachem, Henderson's just as valuable, if not more so. He had nine targets, for six receptions, 100 yards and one touchdown. Meachem came in with eight targets, converting them into five receptions for 70 yards and one touchdown. Grab either one as they both make No. 2 fantasy Cincinnati Bengals Jersey wideouts.Jacoby Jones, Texans  Grab Jones because there's a chance Kevin Walter (shoulder) may not play. Walter's shoulder is badly bruised, but he and Jones tend to cancel each other out. If Walter can't go, Jones could be lined up for a solid day. We still don't know how many games Jets Jerseys Shop Walter will miss, either. View Jones as a flex, bye-week or injury fill-in, depending on the opponent.Nate Burleson, Lions  I was high on Burleson before the season started, and he did nothing to disappoint. He had five targets, converting them into five receptions for 60 yards. Solid, if not spectacular, but I believe Burleson is an every-week flex play unless he is facing an elite defense. At worst, he's a bye-week or injury fill-in.Brandon Gibson, Rams Danny Amendola (elbow) will be out for a while, and that means Gibson could see more opportunities as Amendola was QB Sam Bradford's favorite wideout. In Week One Gibson had five targets, converting them into three receptions for 50 yards. View him as depth for now with upside.WR watch listJabar Gaffney, Redskins — He has greater value in PPR leagues. Despite seven targets, he only had three receptions for 54 yards and one touchdown. He's a flex play but better off as a bye-week or injury fill-in.Randall Cobb, Packers— Most leagues are not return leagues. Remove that and you have two targets, two receptions, 35 yards, one touchdown. It's that touchdown Cheap Vikings Jerseys and his return touchdown that put him on the watch list.Doug Baldwin, Seattle — Who is Doug Baldwin? He's an undrafted rookie who had six targets, converting them into four receptions for 83 yards and one touchdown. He's playing in the slot, but this team is bad.Mohamed Massaquoi, Browns — No one knows how this team is going to do, and despite getting seven targets, Massaquoi converted them into only three receptions for 77 yards. He has promise.TIGHT ENDSFred Davis, Redskins Nothing against Chris Cooley, but I've been on the Davis bandwagon going back to last year. He can get downfield, has great hands and is younger, stronger and much healthier than Cooley. He saw six targets, converting five receptions for 105 yards. He'll only get better, but he can disappear in games at times. This is a Shanahan-orchestrated offense, and the tight end is always prominent. One of my sleepers, Authentic Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys Davis is a No. 1 you can pick up as your No. 2 and play the matchups.Ed Dickson, Ravens Dickson played like a tight end in a Cam Cameron offense is capable of. This is probably not a fluke as he had five targets, converting them for five receptions, 59 yards and one touchdown. Grab him and view him as your backup for now. Let's see if he can be consistent.Jermaine Gresham, Bengals Toward the end of the preseason I became a believer, if for no other reason than young QB Andy Dalton would use him as a safety valve. In Week One he had eight targets for six receptions, 58 yards and one touchdown. I like him as my No. 2 tight end, but some will take him as their No. 1. Watch for inconsistency if you do that.TE watch listBenjamin Watson and Evan Moore, Browns — Let's see which one of these two tight ends separates himself. I believe it will be Moore, but right now they're canceling each other out. Watson has seven targets for three receptions, 45 yards and one touchdown, and Moore has six targets, three receptions for 35 yards and one touchdown. Wait to see what happens here.
