Injuries Creating Opportunities in Week 2
There are several key injuries that will create some opportunities this week. Here are some that could affect your fantasy team:
Kellen Clemens Starting for Jets.
This has a definite impact on the entire Jets offense. Honestly we think it will be ok for the Jets running game and the WRs should see a small fall off in touches. The big problem in week 2 is they re playing Baltimore in Baltimore! That spells doom for the Jets. If you have the Baltimore defense and were considering not starting (!~) START THEM with no worries.
McCown Doubtful - Here is Culpepper's chance. Everything is pointing towards him starting. I do feel this will effect Ronald Curry numbers, but overall is a good thing for the Raiders offense.
Jacobs Out, Manning Game-time decision - This is complicated. We see big things for Derrick Ward if Manning is in, even against Green Bay. The problem is if Jared Corenzen starts this week, bench Ward. The Packers will put 8 in the box and blitz the rookie all day. Maybe in week 3 or 4 he'll be better, but not week 2.
Orlando Pace and Tye Hill out for Rams. Neither of these guys are fantasy players, but they hold huge impacts on week 2 and beyond. With Pace out for the year, this will impact Bulger, Jackson, and Holt. Look for all their numbers to sink. Pace was one of the best Offensive linemen in the league and created holes for Jackson and held off linemen form Bulger.
Tye Hill's loss on defense is great news for Alex Smith and the San Francisco offense. Look for that offense to exploit this injury and produce this week. It will help Frank Gore as well.
Shaun Alexander - He has a hurt wrist and thumb. He'll play and wear a protective shield over it. I wouldn't expect this injury to impact his play. There is always a chance of fumbling and further injury, but he is a must start, so deal with it.
