Week two is full of interesting matchups around the league. We are going to focus on one RB, one WR, and one TE to definitely start in your league in case you are having second thoughts.
Joseph Addai – RB - Indianapolis Colts
The Colts’ running back didn’t have the best of games last week against the Texans as he gained only 44 yards on 10 carries and didn’t reach the end zone. The Texans did have one of the better rush defenses in 2009 and look pretty solid this year so don’t take out your frustrations entirely on Addai. Look for a nice week two with the Colts taking on the G-Men from New York. Last season, the Giants gave up 21 rushing TDs, which was third most in the NFL. Start Joseph Addai in week two!
Jeremy Maclin – WR – Philadelphia Eagles
When Michael Vick entered last week’s game against the Packers as Kevin Kolb’s replacement due to injury, the Eagles’ offense began to move the ball consistently on a stingy Green Bay defense. When Vick wasn’t rushing, he found a receiver he liked in Maclin. Although he only gained 38 yards, Maclin caught Vick’s only passing TD. This week the Eagles travel to the Motor City where a weak Lions’ passing defense will be eaten up. Last season, the Lions gave up the league’s most passing yards and passing TDs. Look for this trend to continue this week and possibly the entire season.
Visanthe Shiancoe – TE – Minnesota Vikings
In week one against the Saints, Shiancoe became one of Brett Favre’s favorite targets. With four receptions for 76 yards and two TDs, Shiancoe is easily a top pick to start at his position this week. The Vikings welcome the Dolphins, and their 24th rated pass defense from last year, into town. With Percy Harvin still questionable to start and Sidney Rice gone for a few more weeks, Shiancoe is looking better and better.
