Week 2 Rankings Update

Nothing stays the same in fantasy football; players are either getting better or they are getting worse.

Matt Ryan and the Atlanta passing game is getting better, especially for fantasy purposes.

Ryan threw 36 passes against the Dolphins, six more than he did in any victory last year. (Ryan averaged 23 passes in victories in 2009.) The Falcons aggressively passed throughout the opener despite being in total control of the game throughout the second half. The running game was clearly not working, so offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey let Ryan go to work.

This wasn't Ryan's best game either. His accuracy was off at times, especially deep to Roddy White. But Atlanta's flexible offensive approach allowed him to put up 229 yards and two scores on a mediocre afternoon.

This is the next step for outstanding, every-week fantasy starters: They put up numbers even during blah games. This would not have happened last year.

The shift away from Michael Turner to Matt Ryan was one of the seeds planted in Week One that we'll watch grow for the rest of the season. Owners shouldn't over react to the opener, but they also shouldn't ignore it. Some other big picture takeaways from games I watched in Week one:

1. Either Denver and Cincy's defense are both a lot better than expected (and they did play hard), or the Bengals/Broncos offense has some growing to do. Denver's pass attack especially looked in the embryonic stages under Josh McDaniels, which could slow things down for Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal for a while. The Bengals moved the ball fairly well, but just came up short on big downs. The Ocho Cinco revival looks for real.

2. Tampa's offense could be a lot friskier than people think. They moved the ball largely at will against Dallas, keyed by a very strong offensive line performance. (Although they just lost center Jeff Faine for 4-6 weeks.) Byron Leftwich will have to throw plenty to keep up with Tampa's poor defense, and both Cadillac Williams and Derrick Ward ran well.

3. Indianapolis' offensive line needs to play a lot better or both Joseph Addai and Donald Brown will disappoint.

QB Notes: Life without Terrell Owens started smoothly for Tony Romo, to no surprise. The amazing thing about his 327, 13 YPA opener is how many throws Romo missed. The Cowboys are going to see more eight-man fronts than ever before because they are using the run to set up the pass. Defenses will have a hard time matching up; on Roy Williams' 66-yard touchdown, for instance, Williams was lined up in the slot with Jason Witten and Martellus Bennett as the wide receivers. The Dallas line gets a stern test this week against the Giants, but Romo is an every-week must start until proven otherwise.

Tom Brady's performance was uneven against Buffalo and he seemed to feeling the pass rush around him. But the Patriots also moved the ball throughout and owners have to love seeing 53 pass attempts. New England's offensive line, which looked shaky, faces a tougher test this week. … Peyton Manning has his work cut out for him this year with no Anthony Gonzalez (for a while), and a running game that isn't scaring defenses. I wrote this on Twitter already, but it's worth repeating for those who have smartly stayed free of Twitter's grasp: Jacksonville used seven defensive backs at times against the Colts. Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie will have to grow up fast for Manning to put up top-five numbers.

Kurt Warner looked terrible in the opener, but he still put up decent stats. Jacksonville's secondary is very thin. … Matt Schaub and Jay Cutler both may get knocked around this week, but there are big plays to be had against the Tennessee and Pittsburgh secondaries. … Tampa's safety play – Sabby Piscatelli and Jermaine Phillips – was terrible against Dallas. That makes Trent Edwards a sneaky option this week if you need help. Joe Flacco is another fine backup pick if you don't like your starter's matchup.

Byron Leftwich is not a bad pickup you need help at quarterback. He received outstanding protection against Dallas and defenses will load up to stop the Bucs running. Leftwich was somewhat erratic and struggled with touch passes, but he also made some gorgeous throws and the Bucs did not struggle to move the ball. The Tampa receiver group is lame, but they could be passing a lot because their defense is poor. … David Garrard's wide receiver group and lack of protection is going to make life difficult on him.

RB Notes: Tampa's running game could be very good this year. Cadillac Williams runs with such insane abandon, we wonder if he can hold up all year. But he'll be fun to watch in the meantime. Derrick Ward remains the stronger weekly play because of his receiving skills and power combination. Ward had a couple early cracks inside the ten-yard line early in Tampa's loss, then Caddy finished it off from the one. Ward scored later in the game and broke a lot of tackles in a game that helps show he's not just the product of New York's running game. If Tampa could push around Dallas up front, they can run on Buffalo.

The Cowboys weren't kidding about a three-man running back rotation. Tashard Choice was in on the third play from scrimmage Sunday, and took more traditional third-down back snaps than Felix Jones. Choice also played in the Wildcat. This hurts Jones' potential more than Marion Barber, who is still "The Closer." Barber owners should be a little concerned MBIII didn't have any catches in Week 1, but he clearly has his explosion back after toe injuries last year. … After a preseason of talking up Glenn Coffee's role in the offense, the 49ers ignored him in Week 1. Their offensive line really struggled to carve out room for Frank Gore, but Gore was the entire offense. Their first six plays of the second half were all to Gore; two three and outs.

San Francisco risks overworking Gore, but the usage is a good sign; we wouldn't worry about the lack of yardage last week. … Maurice Jones-Drew is another back that basically was the entire Jaguars offense. (Montell Owens was the only other Jacksonville back to get a carry.) Mo-Jo took a lot of punishment against Indy, but looked good doing it. Look for another big day against Arizona, but the Jaguars would be wise not to wear their horse down too much early. … Miami's inability to make plays vertically will make life harder for Ronnie Brown, who had very little running room against Atlanta. Look for the Dolphins to try to impose their will physically on a smaller Colts line this week. Ricky Williams looked rather good in relief, which won't help Brown if it keeps up every week.

Tony Gonzalez already has shown he's a huge addition to the Atlanta passing game. He's not going to help Michael Turner, though. Gonzo whiffed a few blocks that got Turner killed in the Miami game. Turner is not a special running back talent; he gets what's blocked. Until the final meaningless drive last Sunday, he had 41 yards on 18 carries. Turner finished with 65 total yards, Jerious Norwood had 56, mostly on third-down catches. Carolina's rush defense is not impressive, so it's fair for Turner owners to be concerned if he struggles again this week. … Jonathan Stewart is already a bigger part of the Carolina offense than expected. Now the Panthers just need to play with the lead.

Pierre Thomas, Mike Bell, and Reggie Bush are ranked as if Thomas will play. He's still wearing a large brace on his knee, so they Saints are likely to work him into the mix slowly. But the job will be his eventually; he's simply more talented than Bell. … Tim Hightower's receiving numbers last week smacked of a fluky performance. He struggled on the ground, just like last year. … Knowshon Moreno looked tentative in his debut. He's not a lead back yet. … Michael Bush would be ranked higher, but the Raiders are threatening to possibly play Justin Fargas over him. This makes me angry; did Cable watch Bush run over the Chargers?

WR Notes: Brandon Marshall seemed to be lacking some explosion in Week 1 and dropped a few passes, but at least he was out there. It could take some time for him to get in the flow of the offense, but he's too talented to sit in leagues you start three wideouts.

Miles Austin didn't get a lot of targets, but he was a bad Tony Romo pass away from having two touchdowns over 40 yards. It's hard to play him, but he should be owned in all leagues and will benefit from a lot of matchups against sub-par defenders. … Michael Clayton no longer gets anyone excited, but he'll probably see enough targets all year to be worth owning in deeper PPR leagues, especially if Antonio Bryant can't get healthy.

The Jaguars are very thin in the secondary after Rashean Mathis. Since Mathis is staying on one side of the field primarily, all the Cardinals receivers should get a crack at Derek Cox and the other complementary corners in Jacksonville. (And safety Reggie Nelson gives up way too many big plays.)

Roy Williams made some difficult grabs for first downs in addition to his long score, a good sign. There are so many options on that offense, though, he's going to have quiet weeks. Patrick Crayton won't get many long scores, but he should be a very consistent WR3. We'd put Steve Smith of the Giants in the same class, as a fine every-week WR3/flex option in PPR leagues. Dude makes tough grabs and Eli Manning knows it. … Antonio Bryant doesn't look fully healthy yet, and is a risky play.

Davone Bess is clearly Chad Pennington's most trusted playmaker to move the chains. He may not make many big plays, but he's a serious threat to top 80 catches. … Miami's offensive line was awful against the Falcons, and faces another tough test against the Colts pass rush. There's not much reason to think they will give Chad Pennington enough time to find Ted Ginn deep. ... Laveranues Coles is the fourth-best wide receiver on the Bengals. His opening week drops were uncharacteristic, but it was telling that Andre Caldwell was the guy moving the chains with the game on the line.

TE Notes: Matt Ryan threw a few passes to Tony Gonzalez that he probably shouldn't have – Gonzo wasn't open. And yet Gonzalez responded by making awesome grabs with defenders draped all over him. Throw in his juke on Yeremiah Bell for a score, and Gonzalez was pretty unstoppable in Week 1. He won't get as many receptions in Atlanta's offense, but he could get more scores.
