Man there's a lot of question marks for me headed into Week 2. Where I ranked the players is based more on hunches than fact, more so than ever before. Blount could be the #2 back in NE this week making him a very risky flex play in PPR leagues. Fred Jackson appears to be playing the "fantasy killer" role for Spiller owners and who the hell knows what L. Miller will do this week? A. Foster ranked 17th for me, he looks slow and rusty, you got to think the Texans will give the rock more to Tate if this continues.

Bradshaw and Tate will get more work this week ( or at least that is the speculative news out of each player's camp). It will play better for their PPR value than Standard. Doug Martin should wind up being WK2's PPR RB stud.

Adrian Peterson remains as extraordinary as ever. But I have LeSean McCoy ranked just above him, due to their matchups, and the massive volume of touches that McCoy will receive. Even though he was a consensus first round pick, and was often chosen within the top five, he still has a chance to exceed those expectations in Chip Kelly's offense. After receiving a whopping 31 carries in Week 1, he is the NFL's leading rusher, and could continue a relentless pace this week.

As a Spiller owner, I want to see if last week's "Fred Jackson Breakout" was just a fluke, or if the Bills do plan on using more of a committee in 2013 now that Jackson is healthy. Eddie Lacy had a fairly quiet game last week, but it was against a good defense. I think he has as good a chance as any to bounce back and have a better Week 2.
