9.	Matthew Stafford DET at SF

14.	Josh Freeman TB at NYG Note: Freeman and Vincent Jackson didn't connect well in Week 1, with Jackson catching just four of his 10 targets from Freeman.
15.	Michael Vick PHI vs. Bal Note: Not a bad fantasy day despite all the turnovers.
16.	Andrew Luck IND vs. Min
17.	Alex Smith SF vs. Det
18.	Matt Cassel KC at Buf
19.	Christian Ponder MIN at Ind
20.	Matt Schaub HOU at Jac
21.	Joe Flacco BAL at Phi Note: The new up-tempo approach worked, though in fairness the injuries to the Bengals' secondary made this a better matchup than usual. It gets much tougher this week at Philly.
22.	Ben Roethlisberger PIT vs. NYJ
23.	Carson Palmer OAK at Mia Note: Very little bang for the buck on his 46 attempts, though not having Moore or Ford makes a big difference.
24.	Mark Sanchez NYJ at Pit
25.	Andy Dalton CIN vs. Cle
26.	Kevin Kolb ARZ at NE Note: Drove the Cardinals on their game-winning drive after Skelton's ankle injury. Will start this week against New England. Kolb taking all the first-team reps in practice this week, confirming what we already knew - he'll start this week.*
27.	Jake Locker TEN at SD Note: Left shoulder injury forced him to leave Week 1's loss to the Pats. He's expected to play this week, but the practice reports will tell us more. Threw the ball well in practice Wednesday. Full practice Friday. *
28.	Blaine Gabbert JAC vs. Hou Note: All things being equal, he looked much improved in Week 1.
29.	Russell Wilson SEA vs. Dal Note: Not very impressive in the loss to Arizona, but on the other hand he put the Seahawks in a position to win on the final drive. Might be without his starting left tackle, Russell Okung.*
30.	Ryan Tannehill MIA vs. Oak Note: Multiple passes tipped at the line of scrimmage.
31.	*Sam Bradford STL vs. Was Note: The Rams lost two starting OL to injuries in the loss to Detroit, including their center for the season.
32.	Brandon Weeden CLE at Cin
33.	*Matt Hasselbeck TEN at SD Note: Finished out the loss to the Pats after Locker's injury.
34.	*John Skelton ARZ at NE Note: Skelton left last week's win over Seattle with a low ankle sprain, not a high ankle sprain as initially reported, though he's still out for Week 2.

Running Backs

1.	Arian Foster HOU at Jac Note: (Knee) Ran well despite the practice injury scare. Left practice Wednesday with an illness.*
2.	LeSean McCoy PHI vs. Bal
3.	Ray Rice BAL at Phi
4.	Darren McFadden OAK at Mia Note: Targeted a whopping 18 times, caught 13 passes Monday night.
5.	Adrian Peterson MIN at Ind Note: Ok, maybe Peterson really is a super-healer, after all. Coach Leslie Frazier said that he'd try to limit Peterson to 20-25 carries this week. Some soreness and tightness in his patella after Sunday, but full participant in practice this week.*
6.	Matt Forte CHI at GB
7.	Jamaal Charles KC at Buf
8.	Doug Martin TB at NYG
9.	*C.J. Spiller BUF vs. KC Note: Big jump in value with Fred Jackson out - two huge plays against the Jets in Week 1.
10.	Stevan Ridley NE vs. Ari Note: Huge Week 1 game against the Titans. Didn't hurt that Vereen was out.
11.	DeMarco Murray DAL at Sea Note: (Wrist) Listed as probable. *
12.	Marshawn Lynch SEA vs. Dal Note: (Back) Pretty much had a full workload despite the ominous practice notes. Limited in practice Wednesday, but as last week demonstrated, that doesn't mean much. Listed as probable. *
13.	Ahmad Bradshaw NYG vs. TB
14.	*Maurice Jones-Drew JAC vs. Hou Note: Picked up a pretty full workload after Jennings' knee injury in Week 1.
15.	Frank Gore SF vs. Det Note: Looked really good against the Packers.
16.	Trent Richardson CLE at Cin Note: Listed as probable, practiced all week. *
17.	Steven Jackson STL vs. Was
18.	Chris Johnson TEN at SD Note: Miserable day against the Pats. Perhaps the only real bust from Week 1 when you consider the acquisition cost (though DeAngelo Williams certainly counts among those that got started because of the circumstances.).
19.	BenJarvus Green-Ellis CIN vs. Cle Note: Was the workhorse back in Week 1 with Bernard Scott and the lone bright spot in the loss.
20.	Reggie Bush MIA vs. Oak
21.	Kevin Smith DET at SF Note: Hate the matchup this week.
22.	*Alfred Morris WAS at StL Note: Morris had 28 carries to just two apiece for Royster and Helu.
23.	Donald Brown IND vs. Min
24.	Darren Sproles NO at Car Note: Didn't get a carry, and the team only had 10 carries overall.
25.	Michael Turner ATL vs. Den
26.	Shonn Greene NYJ at Pit
27.	Willis McGahee DEN at Atl Note: Lost a fumble in an otherwise decent game Sunday night.
28.	Cedric Benson GB vs. Chi
29.	Jonathan Dwyer PIT vs. NYJ Note: Dwyer was the Steelers' best back Sunday night. Will they use him more in Week 2? (Foot) Full practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. Listed as probable, with Mendenhall doubtful. *
30.	DeAngelo Williams CAR vs. NO Note: The lesson imparted by the Panthers with Williams is that if at first you don't succeed, shut it down and never try again.
31.	Beanie Wells ARZ at NE Note: (Hamstring) Split carries with Williams - neither did anything of note, albeit against a tough run defense. (Knee) Full practice this week. Listed as probable. *
32.	Ben Tate HOU at Jac
33.	Ryan Williams ARZ at NE Note: Miserable day for both Williams and Wells. (Knee) Listed as probable. *
34.	Michael Bush CHI at GB
35.	Peyton Hillis KC at Buf
36.	*Isaac Redman PIT vs. NYJ Note: Dwyer was the better back - Redman went just 11-for-21 with two short receptions.
37.	Pierre Thomas NO at Car
38.	Kendall Hunter SF vs. Det Note: The clear #2 behind Gore - nearly vultured a touchdown away from Gore.
39.	*Toby Gerhart MIN at Ind Note: Much smaller workload than expected last week - have to bury him now unless Peterson has a setback.
40.	Knowshon Moreno DEN at Atl Note: Looked decent as McGahee's backup Sunday night. Not a bad long-term spec play.
41.	*Roy Helu WAS at StL Note: Used almost exclusively as a third down back, and that's it.
42.	David Wilson NYG vs. TB Note: Appears to be emerging from the doghouse after fumbling in the first quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Cowboys.*
43.	Jacquizz Rodgers ATL vs. Den
44.	*Curtis Brinkley SD vs. Ten Note: Had 10 carries to five for Ronnie Brown, but didn't do anything with them.
45.	Brandon Jackson CLE at Cin
46.	Bilal Powell NYJ at Pit
47.	*Ronnie Brown SD vs. Ten Note: Completely stuffed on his five carries, Curtis Brinkley had 10 carries. Only good aspect of his game was in the passing game.
48.	LeGarrette Blount TB at NYG Note: Went down with an unspecified ailment in the second quarter, had just three carries. No restrictions for practice or the game on Sunday. (Neck) Listed as probable. *
49.	Jonathan Stewart CAR vs. NO Note: (Ankle) Inactive in Week 1. Practicing this week, making strides between Wednesday and Thursday. Listed as questionable, though he was able to run and cut in practice. *
50.	*Evan Royster WAS at StL Note: Just two carries, behind Helu on third downs.
51.	Danny Woodhead NE vs. Ari
52.	Robert Turbin SEA vs. Dal Note: Much smaller workload than expected.
53.	*Mike Goodson OAK at Mia Note: Had two carries for 13 yards as the backup behind McFadden.
54.	Mark Ingram NO at Car Note: Disappointing output against the Redskins - six carries for 15 yards. On the field for only nine snaps in Week 1.
55.	Felix Jones DAL at Sea Note: (Ribs) Full practice Wednesday. Listed as probable. *
56.	Ryan Mathews SD vs. Ten Note: Sat out last week with the broken clavicle. The running game was miserable without him. Practiced in full pads for the first time Thursday since the injury. Game-time decision, listed as questionable, was limited in practice even though he practiced in full pads. *
57.	Bernard Pierce BAL at Phi
58.	Mike Tolbert CAR vs. NO
59.	Jason Snelling ATL vs. Den
60.	Montario Hardesty CLE at Cin
61.	Joe McKnight NYJ at Pit
62.	Lamar Miller MIA vs. Oak

66.	Isaiah Pead STL vs. Was Note: No carries in the Week 1 loss.
67.	Keiland Williams DET at SF
68.	*Tashard Choice BUF vs. KC Note: Now the backup behind C.J. Spiller.
69.	LaRod Stephens-Howling ARZ at NE
70.	Bernard Scott CIN vs. Cle Note: (Hand) Could be part of the action in Week 2. Limited in practice Thursday. Limited all week, listed as questionable. *
71.	*Alex Green GB vs. Chi Note: No carries in Week 1.
72.	Shaun Draughn KC at Buf Note: Saw the garbage time action, but isn't a threat to displace Charles or Hillis.
73.	Taiwan Jones OAK at Mia Note: Didn't receive an official carry Monday night, though was part of a botched reverse. (Ribs) Returned to practice Thursday. Listed as questionable. *
74.	Rashard Mendenhall PIT vs. NYJ Note: (Knee) Inactive last week, but made really good strides in practice. Full practice Thursday - is this the week he plays? Still listed as doubtful. *
75.	Brandon Jacobs SF vs. Det Note: (Knee) Listed as questionable. *
76.	*Ronnie Hillman DEN at Atl Note: Inactive in Week 1, and described by coach John Fox as behind physically and mentally after missing training camp time with a hamstring injury.
77.	James Starks GB vs. Chi Note: (Toe) Sat out last week, still wasn't practicing Tuesday. Doubtful for Thursday night.*
78.	*Delone Carter IND vs. Min
79.	Dion Lewis PHI vs. Bal Note: (Hamstring) Not on the injury list Wednesday.*
80.	LaMichael James SF vs. Det Note: Could be inactive again this week. *
81.	Shane Vereen NE vs. Ari Note: (Foot) Limited in practice Thursday. Listed as questionable. *
82.	Rashad Jennings JAC vs. Hou Note: Suffered a knee injury after eight carries in Week 1. Opportunity to be the starting back is probably gone now. Did not practice Thursday, and the rain in the forecast can't be good for a player with a weak knee. Officially out this week. *
83.	Daniel Thomas MIA vs. Oak Note: Suffered a concussion on the play where he fumbled against the Texans. Officially ruled out for this week.*
84.	Javon Ringer TEN at SD Note: Dealing with an infection in his right elbow. Out this week. Has undergone two surgeries this week. *
85.	Mikel Leshoure DET at SF
86.	*Fred Jackson BUF vs. KC Note: Sprained LCL, out until at least Week 4.

7.	Larry Fitzgerald ARZ at NE
8.	A.J. Green CIN vs. Cle Note: The Browns will be without Joe Haden this week.

32.	Sidney Rice SEA vs. Dal Note: (Knee) Did not practice Wednesday. Listed as probable. *
33.	Santonio Holmes NYJ at Pit
34.	*James Jones GB vs. Chi Note: Busy day with the Niners concerned about shutting down the Packers' top options, and with Greg Jennings getting hurt.
35.	Jeremy Maclin PHI vs. Bal Note: Dealing with a hip flexor. Didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday.*
36.	Greg Little CLE at Cin
37.	Anquan Boldin BAL at Phi
38.	Laurent Robinson JAC vs. Hou Note: Had nine targets in Week 1.
39.	Danny Amendola STL vs. Was

43.	Brian Hartline MIA vs. Oak
44.	Brandon LaFell CAR vs. NO
45.	Emmanuel Sanders PIT vs. NYJ Note: Eight targets in Week 1. Could see a similar workload this week if the Jets focus on Brown and Wallace.

47.	Nate Washington TEN at SD Note: Injury suffered in Week 1 is just a leg bruise. Didn't practice Thursday, but expected back on the field Friday. Didn't practice all week, listed as questionable. *
48.	*Donald Jones BUF vs. KC Note: The Bills' #2 receiver with David Nelson out for the year.
49.	Andrew Hawkins CIN vs. Cle Note: Eight catches on nine targets in Week 1 - seems clear that he's the Bengals' #2 option.
50.	Braylon Edwards SEA vs. Dal Note: The good news - targeted nine times in Week 1. The bad news - another bad drop at the end of the game that would have given the Seahawks a go-ahead touchdown. * Losing starting job to Golden Tate.*
51.	Kevin Ogletree DAL at Sea
52.	Jason Avant PHI vs. Bal Note: Clear #3 receiver for the Eagles, but dealing with a wrist contusion. Full practice this week.*

56.	Davone Bess MIA vs. Oak
57.	*Rod Streater OAK at Mia Note: Started with both Moore and Ford out, caught a touchdown, but also lost a fumble.
58.	Earl Bennett CHI at GB

60.	Pierre Garcon WAS at StL Note: Huge first quarter, but then left with a foot injury. Expects to play in Week 2. *Very limited in Thursday's practice and the team is uncertain if Garcon can play. * Game-time decision, but not likely to play. ***
61.	Justin Blackmon JAC vs. Hou
62.	Brandon Gibson STL vs. Was
63.	Doug Baldwin SEA vs. Dal Note: Suffered a tooth injury on an attempted catch. New grill won't keep him out of the game in Week 2.*
64.	*Donnie Avery IND vs. Min Note: Started with Austin Collie a late scratch last week.
65.	*Robert Meachem SD vs. Ten Note: Just two targets Monday night. I'm sticking with my rich-man's Darnay Scott comparison.
66.	Denarius Moore OAK at Mia Note: Sat out Monday night with his hamstring injury. Ready to play this week. Listed as probable. *
67.	Santana Moss WAS at StL Note: Fairly minor role in the Redskins' offense, even after the Garcon injury - though in fairness, the Redskins had already built a lead at that point.
68.	Nate Burleson DET at SF Note: Ended up being the #2 receiver, with Titus Young getting marginalized.
69.	Kendall Wright TEN at SD
70.	Eddie Royal SD vs. Ten
71.	Cecil Shorts JAC vs. Hou
72.	Golden Tate SEA vs. Dal Note: Starting ahead of Edwards. That may not translate into more targets, though. *

79.	Rueben Randle NYG vs. TB
80.	Josh Gordon CLE at Cin
81.	*Jon Baldwin KC at Buf Note: Went without a target in Week 1, and the implication was that he needs to learn the playbook more.
82.	Jacoby Jones BAL at Phi
83.	Michael Floyd ARZ at NE
84.	T.Y. Hilton IND vs. Min Note: Out with a shoulder injury in Week 1. Full participant in Thursday's practice.*
85.	Kevin Walter HOU at Jac
86.	Josh Morgan WAS at StL
87.	Steven Smith STL vs. Was
88.	Austin Collie IND vs. Min Note: (Concussion) Late scratch in Week 1. Did not practice Thursday, but the Colts said that he will start at an outside receiver spot, and see some occasional play in the slot. Listed as doubtful after not practicing Friday. *
89.	Devery Henderson NO at Car Note: Left Week 1 with a head injury. Unlikely to play Sunday, though he hasn't yet been officially ruled out. Now officially out. *
90.	Greg Jennings GB vs. Chi Note: Injured his groin in Sunday's loss, didn't practice Tuesday, though his rehab supposedly is going well. Inactive Thursday.*

12.	Jermichael Finley GB vs. Chi Note: Seven catches and a touchdown, but also a really bad drop.
13.	Jason Witten DAL at Sea Note: (Spleen) Shockingly played last week, but had just two catches for 10 yards. Full participant in Wednesday's practice. Listed as probable. *

37.	Ben Watson CLE at Cin Note: (Thigh) Listed as questionable after being limited all week. *
