Last week was a solid one for my fantasy studs as Cedric Benson and John Carlson had big games while the Seahawks defense pitched a shutout. After week one games, it is important to be patient with your star players. If you drafted a guy like Matt Forte or Steve Slaton who had bad games, they will bounce back as everybody has off games. Here are week two fantasy studs.
QB: Trent Edwards vs Buccaneers: Edwards looked solid against the Patriots in week one and the Buccaneers without Tanard Jackson had major struggles in the secondary allowing three long touchdowns. Look for Edwards to build off his solid start and throw for around 240 yards with two touchdowns.
RB: Darren McFadden vs Chiefs: The Chiefs defense had a hard time stopping the Ravens three headed monster at running back and that should continue against the Raiders with McFadden carrying the load. Last year in Arrowhead, McFadden ran for over 160 yards which was easily his best game of his rookie year. Expect around 130 yards and a touchdown.
WR: Lee Evans vs Buccaneers: Considering the Bucs secondary struggles last week, Evans should be a very good play as he is one of the best deep ball receivers in the league. With the presence of Terrell Owens, he will also be in single coverage. Expect around 120 yards and a touchdown.
TE: Brent Celek vs Saints: One of the quarterback's best friends is the tight end who is a big target that has reliable hands. Kevin Kolb is going to make his first career start and should look to Celek early and often. He has soft hands and with his size can make an impact in the red zone. Expect around 60 yards and a touchdown.
K: Ryan Longwell vs Lions: Considering the way the Lions defense looked last week, Longwell should get plenty of opportunities. Considering there isn't that big of a difference between the best fantasy kicker and the 10th, that's all you can ask for. Expect around 3 extra points and two field goals.
DEF: Broncos vs Browns: More surprising then the finish to their game against the Bengals was the emergence of the Broncos defense. For a unit that was so bad last year, they did a very good job of stopping an explosive Bengals offense. Now they play the Browns who struggled with a young quarterback in Brady Quinn under center. Look for the Broncos to pressure him early and often. Expect around 4 sacks, 1 fumble recovery and two interceptions.
