The fallout from the lockout and lost offseason? Quarterbacks are shredding incohesive secondaries, and special teams coaches are having a hard time translating kickoff coverage practice to game-day situations. Among the records broken and landmark performances in Week 1:
- NFL teams passed for 7,842 net yards, the most in any week in NFL history.
- Fourteen QBs passed for more than 300 yards, the most of any week in NFL history.
- Five games in which both QBs passed for more than 300 yards, the most in any week in NFL history.
- Four 400-yard passers were the most in a single week in NFL history.
- The combined 752 points scored are tied for ninth-most in a single week in NFL history.
- The 89 touchdowns are tied for sixth-most in a single week in NFL history.
- The eight combined kickoffs and punts returned for touchdowns are the most in any week in NFL history.
- Games averaged 47.0 total points compared to 36.6 in last year's Kickoff Weekend.
- The 906 net passing yards between the Patriots (516) and Dolphins (390) is the most in a single game in NFL history.
- The Patriots-Dolphins game was also the first in NFL history to feature a both a 500-yard passer and a 400-yard passer.
Perhaps most telling are the performances of two quarterbacks from Monday night's games. Henne went from hearing "We want Orton" cheers in training camp to carving up the Patriots defense for 475 combined passing and rushing yards. Orton had to withstand "We want Tebow" cheers from the Denver crowd while clearing 300 yards against the Raiders. It's no coincidence that the waiver wire features an abundance of quarterback talent entering Week 2.

*Note: Aaron Hernandez and Greg Olsen are owned in 74 percent of CBS Sports leagues. Rotoworld had Hernandez ranked as a top-10 tight end entering the season. If he's available, Hernandez would be the No. 1 overall waiver pick this week. If Olsen is available, he's a better bet for the long haul than any tight end on the list above.

Quarterbacks
Cam Newton - Let's be honest: Nobody expects a 42 percent preseason passer to duplicate his masterful performance from his first career regular-season start. Newton could faceplant in a much tougher matchup against the Packers this week. For fantasy purposes, though, he showed an upside that makes him worthy of the top waiver claim this week. No quarterback in college football ran for more yards in any season from 2000 to 2009 than Newton did at Auburn last season, and his weapons are better than advertised. Steve Smith and Greg Olsen are both Pro Bowl caliber talents. If Vince Young could finish as the 13th ranked quarterback as a rookie thanks to 552 rushing yards and seven running touchdowns, Newton can surpass that mark.
Recommendation: Should be owned in all leagues.
Chad Henne - No longer gun-shy, Henne played his best game as a pro in a losing effort Monday night. Along with Matt Cassel and Hall of Famers Steve Young and Bobby Layne, Henne became just the fourth player in NFL history with 400+ passing yards and 50+ rushing yards in the same game. If the light has finally clicked, Henne is in line for a breakout season in an offense that can't run the ball.
Recommendation: Should be owned in all leagues.
Rex Grossman - The inventor of the fumble-six and the master of the pick-six has found new life under the Shanahans. Coordinator Kyle Shanahan has Grossman slinging the ball all over the field, and the results have been surprisingly promising. Grossman has four 300-yard performances in his nine-year career, three of which have come with the Redskins in his last four starts. It gets better. Grossman's Week 2 matchup is against the Cardinals defense that just surrendered a record 422 yards to Cam Newton in the opener. Grossman is arguably a top-10 fantasy option this week.
Recommendation: Should be owned in all leagues.
Ryan Fitzpatrick - Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Cam Newton stole the spotlight, but it was Fitzpatrick who finished first in ESPN's Total QBR for Week 1 on the strength of an efficient four-touchdown performance against an overmatched Chiefs defense. Fitzpatrick will be up and down all season behind a patchwork offensive line, but coach Chan Gailey's offensive system gives him borderline QB1 value against the weaker secondaries.
Recommendation: Should be owned in all leagues.
Alex Smith - I need a fifth quarterback this week, and I'm admittedly reaching on Smith only for matchup purposes. Mark Sanchez skewered Dallas' secondary for 335 yards and two touchdowns in the opener. The Cowboys will be without Orlando Scandrick while Mike Jenkins (shoulder) and Terence Newman (groin) are on shaky footing themselves. If Smith can't torch this defense, he can't torch any.
Recommendation: Worth a look only in desperation.
Cut Bait: Peyton Manning, Kerry Collins, Matt Hasselbeck, Matt Cassel, Luke McCown
Manning will need at least three months to recover from surgery. The Colts may still be looking for their first win by then. Dump him. ... Collins is one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL. He's not going to perform CPR on Indy's offense. ... Hasselbeck's Week 1 numbers were skewed by a fluky 80-yard touchdown to Kenny Britt. ... The Chiefs offense is in the tank since Charlie Weis left. ... McCown is only a caretaker in a run-heavy offense.
Watch List: Vince Young, Shaun Hill, Matt Flynn, Chase Daniel, Tim Tebow

McCown is only a caretaker in a run-heavy offense.
Watch List: Vince Young, Shaun Hill, Matt Flynn, Chase Daniel, Tim Tebow
Running Backs
Cadillac Williams - Coach Steve Spagnuolo announced Monday that Steven Jackson (quadriceps) is "probably" not going to play in Week 2, leaving Caddy to take the reins against the Giants. Jackson's injury is to the same quad that has given him trouble in the past; it could be a week-to-week situation. Williams tallied 140 yards on 25 touches as the Rams' workhorse after Jackson went down early in the opener. Though oft-injured himself, Caddy is coming off a strong preseason at age 29. In standard-scoring leagues, he should carry low-end RB2/flex value into Monday night's game. In PPR formats, he's a must start.
Recommendation: Should be owned in all leagues.
Jerome Harrison - The Detroit papers suggested Maurice Morris would be the Lions No. 2 back to enter the season, but that wasn't the case in the opener. A Morris fumble may have been at play. Regardless, Harrison is the better, more productive runner. Jahvid Best was given a workhorse-like 25 touches against the Bucs, which doesn't bode well for his chances of staying healthy for 16 games. Harrison would be a valuable property in Detroit's high-scoring offense if Best goes down.
Recommendation: Should be owned in 12-team leagues.
Ricky Williams - The ageless wonder showed that he still has plenty of burst left, gashing the Steelers defense for 63 yards on 12 carries in clock-killing mode in Week 1. Still an effective receiver as well, Williams would be an every-week fantasy starter if Ray Rice goes down with an injury.
Recommendation: Should be owned in 12-team leagues.
Deji Karim - Karim's 2.4 YPC average against the Titans is nothing to get excited about, but any player with 17 offensive touches should garner fantasy attention. Coach Jack Del Rio confirmed that Maurice Jones-Drew will remain on a "play count" going foward, leaving Karim with a bigger than expected offensive role. The second-year back is more explosive than he showed in the opener.
Recommendation: Worth a look in 12-team leagues.
Marion Barber - The running back pickings are slim this week. Barber has been dropped in quite a few leagues while dealing with a calf injury, but he's expected to return to practice Wednesday. Barber remains Matt Forte's backup and the Bears' primary goal-line back when healthy. He's worth watching in touchdown-heavy leagues.
Recommendation: Worth a look in TD-heavy leagues.
Tashard Choice - There's still little clarity behind Felix Jones in the Cowboys backfield. Choice saw four touches compared to DeMarco Murray's three against the Jets. The two would likely split touches if Jones goes down with an injury.
Recommendation: Worth a look in deeper leagues.
Dexter McCluster - McCluster had nine offensive touches for 67 yards in addition to 92 yards on four kickoff returns against the Bills. While the Chiefs won't be in pass-heavy comeback mode as much as they were in the opener, McCluster's role is increasing at Thomas Jones' expense. He's worth a look in PPR return-yardage leagues with a flex spot.
Recommendation: Worth a look in return-yardage PPR leagues.
Cut Bait: Thomas Jones, Donald Brown, Maurice Morris, Leon Washington, Justin Forsett, Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen
Jones is an ineffective runner with a declining role in a subpar offense. ... Brown didn't see the field against the Texans. ... Morris played behind Jerome Harrison in the opener. ... Washington and Forsett are role players in a non-dynamic offense. ... Ridley and Vereen are bench-warmers early in the season.
Hold Off: Earnest Graham, Marcel Reece
Graham's role was increased with the Bucs playing the second half in comeback mode. That won't happen on a regular basis. Reece may be the most athletic fullback in NFL history, but he simply doesn't see enough touches.
Watch List: Montario Hardesty, Steve Slaton, Joe McKnight
Hardesty would take over as the starter if Peyton Hillis went down. ... Slaton remains a trade candidate. ... McKnight's role could grow if Shonn Greene continues to struggle.
Wide Receivers
Jordy Nelson - Nelson is still unowned in roughly half of CBS Sports leagues, primarily because the pecking order at receiver was a guessing game behind Greg Jennings entering the season. The season opener showed that Nelson picked up where he left off in the playoffs -- well ahead of James Jones and a better player than Donald Driver. Nelson has a legit shot at a breakout season and weekly WR3 value. As a major lynchpin in Aaron Rodgers' unstoppable aerial attack, he should be owned in all leagues.
Recommendation: Should be owned in all leagues
Jacoby Jones - The Reader's Digest fantasy scouting report: Jones has been highly inconsistent as the No. 3 receiver, but has produced when his snaps are increased to near starter level. With Andre Johnson battling an ankle injury in December last year, Jones averaged 5.5 receptions and 72 yards over the final four games. Starter Kevin Walter is likely out at least 1-2 weeks, leaving Jones as a risk/reward WR3 against the Dolphins and Saints.
Recommendation: Should be owned in 12-team leagues.
Devery Henderson - Henderson led the team with 100 yards on nine targets as Drew Brees' most reliable receiver against the Packers in the NFL opener. With Marques Colston (collarbone) out at least a month, Henderson should continue to have an increased role in the offense. Whether he's worth starting as a WR3 against the Bears hinges on Lance Moore's (groin) availability this week, however. Either way, Henderson is a worthwhile pickup as a WR4/5 in 12-team leagues.
Recommendation: Should be owned as an injury fill-in.
Brandon Gibson - The Rams' nominal No. 1 receiver was targeted five times in the opener, catching three for 50 yards. Those numbers are almost certain to go up Monday night against the G-Men with Danny Amendola (elbow) out of the lineup. After predictably struggling against the Eagles' Dream Team corners, Sam Bradford is a good bounce-back candidate against the Giants' injury-depleted secondary.
Recommendation: Should be owned in 12-team leagues.
Domenik Hixon - Initial tests on Hakeem Nicks' swollen knee showed no serious damage, but he's "at best, uncertain" for Monday night's game. Hixon saw more targets than Victor Cruz in Week 1 and played in three-wide sets once the Giants went into comeback mode. Should Nicks end up sitting out against the Rams, Hixon would seem to be the favorite to start over Cruz. He's not a bad one-week "handcuff" for Nicks owners lacking depth at receiver.
Recommendation: Worth a look as an injury replacement.
Mohamed Massaquoi - Coach Pat Shurmur employed a mix-and-match approach to his receivers in St. Louis, and that looks to be the case again in Cleveland. Although the tight ends and running backs were heavily involved in the passing game, Massaquoi's seven targets were four more than any other wideout. Greg Little may have more long-term upside, but Massaquoi is the best bet for production early in the season. He'll need improvement from Colt McCoy before gaining WR3 status.
Recommendation: Worth a look in deeper leagues.
Jabar Gaffney - The Redskins' No. 2 receiver was recommended for PPR leagues last week, and he responded with a 3/54/1 line on seven targets against the Giants. If not for a brutal Rex Grossman overthrow, Gaffney would have added a 78-yard touchdown. There's not a ton of upside here, but Gaffney should see 6-8 targets on a weekly basis.
Recommendation: Worth a look in PPR leagues.
Randall Cobb - By the end of the preseason, Cobb was my target at the No. 4 spot in Dynasty rookie drafts. He carried Kentucky's offense as a Percy Harvin-like talent last season and shined on a daily basis in training camp. As Green Bay's fifth receiver Cobb isn't going to have value in standard leagues, but he's worth a look in formats that reward for kickoff- and punt-return yards. He's a dynamic talent.
Recommendation: Should be owned in Dynasty leagues. Worth a look in return-yardage leagues.
Cut Bait: James Jones, Danny Amendola, Kevin Walter, Derrick Mason, Steve Breaston, Earl Bennett, Donald Jones, Harry Douglas, Dezmon Briscoe, Brian Robiskie, Jordan Shipley, Bernard Berrian
Amendola and Walter aren't dynamic enough to take up roster space if they're gong to miss multiple weeks. ... James has no role in Green Bay's offense. ... As we saw late last season, Mason just can't get open at age 37. ... The rest of the group are role players who put on disappearing acts in Week 1.
Hold Off: Early Doucet, Brandon LaFell, Michael Jenkins, Doug Baldwin, Preston Parker, Anthony Armstrong
Doucet's 100-yard game came courtesy of a flukish 70-yard score. He had just three targets. ... Cam Newton is going to pass for 400 yards every week, leaving LaFell without value. ... Jenkins isn't any better than the version that consistently underwhelmed in Atlanta. ... Baldwin's production came with Sidney Rice out and Ben Obomanu sidelined mid-game. ... Parker and Armstrong are No. 3 receivers unlikely to top 50 yards in a given week.
Watch List: Eric Decker, Kevin Ogletree, Adrian Arrington, Greg Salas, David Nelson, Jason Hill, Brian Hartline, Darrius Heyward-Bey
Injuries to starters could put Hixon, Decker, Arrington, Ogletree, Salas on the fantasy radar later this week. Hixon would likely start opposite Mario Manningham if Hakeem Nicks (knee) suffers a setback. The situations with Brandon Lloyd (groin), Lance Moore (groin), and Dez Bryant (quad) are also worth watching this week, though Devery Henderson and Robert Meachem would be the primary beneficiaries if Moore can't go. ... Salas was underwhelming in the opener, and there's talk of Mike Sims-Walker handling slot duties in Danny Amendola's absence. ... Nelson, Hill, Hartline, and DHB are second receivers who need to prove they can produce reliable fantasy numbers on a weekly basis.
Tight Ends
Fred Davis - Down a dozen pounds from last season, a streamlined Davis gave the Giants defense fits with his ability to get open and run after the catch in the opener. We pointed out last week that Davis has produced TE1 numbers whenever he's been given starter's snaps. The one concern is that there seems to be no set plan for his role, but coach Mike Shanahan confirmed that the Redskins will continue to run two-tight end sets heavily going forward. I'm not convinced Chris Cooley is over the hump with his knee problems. After showing a strong rapport with Rex Grossman, Davis is the tight end to own in Washington.
Recommendation: Should be owned in 12-team leagues
Ed Dickson - We placed Dickson on the Watch List last week, and he emerged as Joe Flacco's No. 2 target in an offense that will lean on the tight ends more heavily than expected. Dickson's five catches for 59 yards should have been six for 93, but a picture-perfect 34-yard reception was nullified by a holding penalty. Dickson has a legit chance to better Todd Heap's 40/599/5 line from last season.
Recommendation: Should be owned in 12-team leagues
Jermaine Gresham - Last year's first-rounder is owned in just 25 percent of CBS Sports leagues. The Bengals conservative offense limits his touchdown potential, but the short passing game should boost his targets and receptions over last season's mediocre totals. I prefer Dickson because he could be the No. 2 option in a much higher scoring offense.
Recommendation: Should be owned in 12-team leagues.
Evan Moore - Moore was a recommendation last week, and he responded with a 3/35/1 line on six targets against the Bengals. The caveat is that Ben Watson recorded a 3/45/1 line of his own on seven targets. Moore has the potential to lead this offense in receptions and touchdowns, but he's not fantasy starter material just yet.
Recommendation: Worth a look in 12-team leagues.
Scott Chandler - Who is Scott Chandler? Week 1's top fantasy tight end is Iowa's second all-time receiving tight end behind Dallas Clark. Chandler is a mammoth 6'7", 265 pounds with good hands but limited mobility. Ryan Fitzpatrick obviously likes to look his way in the red zone, but much of Chandler's production was matchup-based against the Chiefs' under-sized linebackers and safeties. Chandler is worth watching in 12-team leagues, but I wouldn't go chasing last week's points just yet.
Recommendation: Worth a look in deeper leagues.
Cut Bait: Brent Celek, Heath Miller, Visanthe Shiancoe
All three veterans are better NFL than fantasy tight ends as they concentrate on blocking to help shaky offensive lines.
Hold Off: Jeff King, Jake Ballard
King and Ballard each surpassed 50 yards, but it may stand as a season-high for the blocking specialists.
Watch List: Anthony Fasano, Julius Thomas, Tony Scheffler, Dennis Pitta
Fasano's 80 yards came on 49 pass attempts from Chad Henne. That won't happen again, but he's worth eyeballing to see if he can maintain consistent TE2 production. ... Thomas, Scheffler, and Pitta are worth watching only to see if their snaps increase.
Defense/Special Teams
Texans - Wade Phillips' crew racked up three sacks, two fumble recoveries, and just seven points allowed against Kerry Collins and the Colts in the opener. Throw in a punt return touchdown from Jacoby Jones, and this was an elite fantasy defense in Week 1. There's more where that came from. The Texans square off against a one-dimensional Miami offense that surrendered four sacks to the Patriots.
Recommendation: Should be owned in 12-team leagues.
Rams - The opener went just as we suspected. The Rams front four dominated the trenches, forcing Michael Vick to flee the pocket throughout the game. Eli Manning doesn't have Vick's wheels, and the Giants' offensive line has issues of its own, turning the Redskins into a top-ten fantasy defense in Week 1.
Recommendation: Should be owned in 12-team leagues.
Browns - This is a vote of absolutely no confidence in Kerry Collins, who finished Week 1 with the lowest Total QBR of any quarterback in the league. Collins took three sacks and fumbled three times, including twice inside in his own 20-yard line. The Colts are legitimately one of the NFL's worst teams this season.
Recommendation: Worth a look as a matchup play.
