No one has ever doubted Ty Lawson's talent, speed or ability to take over a game for North Carolina. Maybe now Lawson won't hear questions about whether he's tough enough, too. ...more

Week 2 was far less destructive for fantasy owners than the week before, but it wasn't without its own important storylines. Michael Turner was cooled off by a solid Bucs run defense, and Eddie Royal proved he can put up solid numbers even if Brandon Marshall catches like, I don't know, 18 passes. Matt Cassel proved that while he might keep the ship afloat for the Patriots, he is far from being a solid fantasy contributor. Jonathan Stewart showed owners that he is ready to take the starting job from DeAngelo Williams for good. ...more

There's a reason the Bucs treated Sunday's matchup against Atlanta as a must-win game - the difference between a 1-1 start and losing your first two games is enormous. In the past two seasons, only two (2006 Chiefs, 2007 Giants) of the 21 clubs that opened 0-2 made the playoffs. ... The Panthers have averaged 24 points per game in QB Jake Delhomme's five starts since the beginning of the 2007 season. Without Delhomme in that span, Carolina averaged 15 points. Jacksonville's struggling ground game is putting too much pressure on David Garrard, who has already matched last year's total of three interceptions. ... A week after rising up against Tampa Bay, the Saints' defense returned to normalcy in the nation's capital as the Redskins rolled up 25 first downs and 455 yards. ... Eddie Royal, an undersized WR drafted in the second round out of Virginia Tech, has enjoyed a spectacular start for the surprisingly potent Broncos. ... They won the turnover battle, committed only two penalties and outgained Indy 180-25 on the ground. So just how did the Vikings manage to blow a 15-0 lead at the Metrodome? ...more
