A Few Players You Can Use For Week 1 (And a Couple You May Not Want To.....)

You won't see guys with names like LT, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady here but there are a few guys that might be able to help you get the Fantasy Season started.

The Good:

Quarter Backs:

Kurt Warner (CARDS): With his brilliant play in relief of Matt Leinart over 11 games last season, forced the club to open the competition for starting QB and then won the job outright this past week. Should be a great start against a weak 49ers team that gave up a heck of a lot of yards throught the air last season. Pick him up now!

Jon Kitna (LIONS): Should put up some solid numbers against a team that gave up more pass yards than 29 other teams last year. Time of possession should favor the Lions with Atlanta starting a new QB. Look for 2 TD's against only 1 Int for Kitna with 250 - 300 passing yards.

Running Backs:

Ricky Williams ('FINS): With Ronnie Brown injured, Williams should get about 25 carries and at least a TD against the Jets D.

Darren McFadden (RAIDERS): The Broncos gave up the second most rush yards in the league last season - 'nuff said.

Wide Receivers:

Calvin Johnson (LIONS): See Jon Kitna (above). CJ has all the skills necessary to break out his sophomore year. This could be the start of something big...

Chris Chambers (CHARGERS): Should pick up where he left off the last 4 games of the year last year against a weak Panthers pass defense. Look for 1 TD and 100 plus yards receiving.

Tight End:

Todd Heap (RAVENS): He should have a solid performance against Cincinatti.

Kicker:

David Akers (EAGLES): The Eagles should be able to put a big score against the Rams. The Rams may have some trouble moving the ball against the Philly D.

Defense:

COLTS: While this team is better known for the offense, they are a solid D. Look for Bob Sanders and Dwight Freeny to have solid outings in IDP leagues. The Bears and Kyle Orton will struggle on Sunday.

The Bad:

Quarter Backs:

Kyle Orton (BEARS): See above. With the departure of Berrian and Mohammad, the Bears offense should struggle the first half of the season.

Running Backs:

Ryan Grant (PACKERS): The Minn run D doesn't give up many yards......or TD's.

Reggie Bush (SAINTS): Has yet to score a TD against the Bucs in 2 seasons.........not too many yards either.

Wide Receivers:

Tory Holt (RAMS): Marc Bulger and Tory Holt need to knock off the rust the first few games. Look for improvement as the season progresses.

Laveranues Coles (JETS): No TD's in the past 2 seasons when playing in Miami. Look for him at home when Miami visits NY/NJ.

Kicker:

Robbie Gould (BEARS): With the return of Sanders and Freeney, Indy's D should be able to limit Kyle Orton and the Bears offensive production.

Defense:

FALCONS: I wouldn't count on these guys anytime in the near future.......'nuff said.
