Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers Michael Bush There is absolutely no questioning the fact that all Matt Forte owners must start him all 16 games when healthy. Even losing rushing touchdowns to Bush doesn't sway his value. But what about the owners who may have waited a while on draft day to snag a running back? Whether it be injury or a matchup against a stud defense, owners may be forced to look outside the Top 20 ranked options. Michael Bush could turn out to be a great option outside of the Top 20 that can quietly sneak you big points. In Week 1, Bush found himself in the end zone twice. This should work out to be a reappearing theme. It's going to be interesting to see if the coaches can keep the points equal among their running backs. Week 2 offers the chance to establish consistency. Bush could work out to be the best No. 3 drafted runner in 2012 and a borderline No. 2 option. Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Giants Eli Manning The Giants' loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the season opener was certainly not all his fault. Wide receivers that are usually quite reliable dropped pass after pass. On top of that, the offensive line of the Giants was completely demolished by the Cowboys' pass rush, sacking Manning three times and providing pressure all night. This could turn out to be the case all season long. Manning is going to need to bounceback in a big way in Week 2. Though his numbers were not terrible and he was indeed a victim of circumstance, he was drafted to be a team's top fantasy option at quarterback. In order to retain his Top 10 status we'll have to see his yards and touchdowns go up and the sacks go down. If Manning underperforms to our newly establish standards, owners could begin to push the panic button. You can't spell elite with Eli but you also can't spell elimination, which many owners would face with a letdown performance. Oakland Raiders and Miami Dolphins Reggie Bush Bush put up much better numbers against the stout Houston Texans' defensive in Week 1 than anyone was really expecting. He's going to have a massive workload this season as the Dolphins break in rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill. The two things we can take away from Week 1 are that Bush is seemingly picking up right where he left off in 2011 and Daniel Thomas is doing the same. Thomas was injured in Week 1 and isn't a lock to play in Week 2. Bush may be in for in an even further expansion to his already expanded workload. The Raiders' run defense isn't in the same category as the Houston Texans, that's for sure. Bush should see even further attempts and success in Week 2. He'll also continue to be the best receiver in the Miami passing game. We should begin to see him crawl up the rankings board after this week. Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars Maurice Jones-Drew In Week 1, Jones-Drew was said to be limited solely to third down duty in order to get him back into football shape. When Rashad Jennings went down early with an injury, that game plan went right out the window. Jones-Drew was brought back into his usual role as the bell cow and put up good numbers for someone who missed the entire preseason. Most owners shied away from starting Jones-Drew in Week 1, as well they should have. But here in Week 2, Jones-Drew will be the unquestioned starter back in his usual role. Of course, it's not all clouds and unicorns as he gets matched up against the Texans. But given the price tag you paid for him on draft day, you have to start him. Always start your studs when healthy, and when they aren't relegated to third down duties. Jones-Drew has the opportunity to build himself back up to a Top 2 or 3 positional option starting in Week 2. Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals Trent Richardson We can't get too far down on this kid just yet. Week 1 of a rookie year against the Philadelphia Eagles isn't necessarily a sign of things to come. What we can take away from Week 1 as a possible reoccurring issue could be that of Brandon Weeden's play. Again, he's a rookie against the Eagles in Week 1, so we're not jumping off the bandwagon just yet. But he's going to have to improve by leaps and bounds in order to keep defenses from completely smothering Richardson. Unfortunately, the Bengals in Week 2 aren't the best team against whom to help start building happy thoughts. Weeden could be in for another long day at the office, and Richardson will be right there with him. The thing that owners should be worried about is the issue of needing to sit Richardson in tough matchups. That's troubling for two reasons: A) - Owners that have Richardson in most cases took him extremely early, and B) - The Browns' divisional opponents are the Baltimore Ravens, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers. If tough opponents ends up being a must sit scenario for Richardson, the outlook certainly isn't worth his lofty draft position. Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills C.J. Spiller Spiller had to wait until about the midpoint of the 2011 season to take over for the injured Fred Jackson. Sadly, in 2012 that wait may not be as long. Jackson left the first week of the season with an apparent leg injury. After exiting the game, Spiller took over and could very well have won the starting job moving forward. Last season, Spiller earned himself a large role in the offense for the way he filled in for Jackson. He could be already furthering his role with the latest turn of events. With Jackson set to miss games, including Week 2, Spiller could flip the running backs roles in Buffalo, making himself the featured back and Jackson the change-of-pace back. How quickly things can change? Any and all owners of both Spiller and Jackson have a lot of value on the line already in Week 2. Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles Michael Vick Downright unimpressive. Week 1 against Cleveland should have been an automatic layup. Instead, Vick needed to hit his second option tight end for the game-winning touchdown with the clock quickly ticking to a close. The Eagles pulled off a one-point win against the lowly Browns. One point against a suspect defense and while having the ball more often than not thanks to Brandon Weeden's four donations to the defense. It was not a warm and fuzzy moment for Vick owners. Things are about to get a lot worse before they get better, too. If you thought the Cleveland game was concerning, get ready for the Baltimore Ravens. Vick's value could be very much on the absolute low after Week 2. He's going to have to put up some reasonable numbers for owners to avoid high anxiety. Vick certainly doesn't play the Ravens every week, and there are more optimistic matchups to come, but there still could be a lot of unsettled stomachs after two weeks of terror. New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers Lance Moore Last year there was a lot of mumblings of a possible Jimmy Graham breakout. This year, all of the sleeper buzz was surrounding wide receiver Lance Moore. Looking solely at Week 1, those mumbling, bumbling, fumbling fantasy wizards could be 2-for-2 for breakout fantasy sleepers. Lance Moore was 100 percent dialed in with Drew Brees against the Washington Redskins. His stat line is a thing of beauty at 120 yards, including an impressive 33-yard score. Moore has the chance in Week 2 to establish himself as a prominent threat. If not, many may view him strictly as a boom-or-bust type of receiver, a la DeSean Jackson. The matchup is certainly playing in Moore's favor as the Panthers defense is nothing to really worry about. An additional outstanding performance would skyrocket his value and ranking moving forward. Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots Stevan Ridley Ridley had a ton of buzz surrounding him this offseason as well. Those who were worried about Ridley referenced Bill Belichick's preference to go with a running back by committee. That approach was completely vacated in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Ridley was given the ball on a consistent basis and excelled with every carry. Not even BenJarvus Green-Ellis looked so capable when given that high carry total. Not since Corey Dillon has New England had as much of a complete back as Ridley appeared to be for at least for the first week. The two main points to take away are the lofty references to Dillon and the fact that it's been just one week. Let's see if Ridley can develop into a DeMarco Murray type of breakout running back who was just waiting for his opportunity, or if it's just a one-week flare. Ridley could establish himself as perhaps the best No. 2 running back option moving forward and even launch himself into running back No. 1 conversation by season's end. Minnesota Vikings and Indianapolis Colts Adrian Peterson Plain and simple, Adrian Peterson is not from this planet. It is nothing but amazing that Peterson had two touchdowns in his first game back from a knee injury he sustained just eight months ago. Peterson may not be complete at this point, but even at 90 percent he's still better than most NFL running backs. Owners out there are still a bit anxious as it's only been one game. If Peterson can perform with a workload that we are more used to seeing and stay on the field productively for four full quarters, owners shall rejoice. The downside of Peterson took a huge hit last week but there are indeed still doubters out there. Two full weeks, including one of a full blown workload, would propel him back into the Top 3 options at the position on a weekly basis. Let's see what Peterson can do with his usual load against the lowly Indianapolis Colts. This is a huge opportunity for him to really burn the fantasy world to the ground. This could be an even bigger breakout than the two-score Week 1 was. Washington Redskins and St. Louis Rams Robert Griffin III If Griffin III duplicates his Week 1 production, he would hold the early bid for Rookie of the Year. Griffin looked like an elite...
