Let's start off by pointing some awards from Week 1 :
MVP: Peyton Manning (DEN)
- I don't think we can argue this one. Manning put up "video-game" type numbers on Thursday night to kick of the NFL season against the Baltimore Ravens. Many were weary when it came to the endless amount of targets that Manning has and was unsure if he could feed all of them. And that is exactly what he did. His stats:
- 27-42, 462 yards, 7 TD's 0 INT's
Bust: David Wilson (NYG)
- For Wilson being my sleeper from last week, he really made me look bad. Giants gave him a shot at starter with Brown injured. Wilson did not take advantage of it, being benched in the first half, accumulating -3 fantasy points (ESPN). His stats:
- 7 rushes, 19 yards, 2 lost fumbles.
Sleeper: Julius Thomas (DEN) and Jared Cook (STL)
- Who? Exactly. It may be the year of the tight end with these unknown TE's erupting for big games. Expect their QB's to continue to target them. Their stats:
- Thomas: 5 catches, 110 yards, 2 TD's
- Cook: 7 catches, 141, 2 TD's

Week 2 predictions:
Star of the Week: Andre Johnson
With Foster still splitting carries until he's back to full health, and Tennessee's above average run defense (only gave up 27 yards total last week), I'm expecting a big game from Mr. Johnson.
Prediction: 8 catches, 125 yards, 2 TD's
Sleeper of the Week: Giovani Bernard (CIN)
Although he has a disappointing rookie debut, and unsure when he will take on the payload of the carries. (Unannounced by the Bengals) I feel he will break out rushing and receiving, and why not this week against the Steelers. There is potential, only having 22 yards, but only on 4 carries.
Prediction: 85 yards rushing, 45 yards receiving, 2 total TD's
Bust of the Week: Tony Romo (DAL)
Probably the most unpredictable QB in the league, and has not yet synced with Dez Bryant, and with a strong performance from the Chiefs last week... I don't think Romo has much going for him. With the QB being a deep position this year, I would start someone else. If Carson Palmer is available, he has a lot of upside in Arizona.
Prediction: 175 yards passing, 1 TD, 3 INT
Bold Prediction:
Terrelle Pryor will rush for 100 yards and throw for 200 yards and 3 TD's in a win over the Jaguars
Bold Prediction:
