QUARTERBACK 

III, Redskins
How many signal callers have more skill than RGIII? The answer is very few. It's amazing to me that a guy who was going to revolutionize Redskins football is on the cusp be being passed on by everyone in fantasy football. People forget that he's played all of 29 games in the NFL. That's less than two full seasons. Through his first two seasons Tom Brady averaged 23 touchdowns and 3,304 yards passing. In  his first two seasons RGII averaged 3,202 yards and 18 touchdowns... and he missed four games. Give him time folks. 
Verdict: BUY. The cost will be nothing, and RGIII makes an ideal QB2 that could end up being a QB1. What, you would rather have Ryan Fitzpatrick?

Jake Locker, Titans 
The Chiefs were without three starters on defense in Week 1, and it showed as Jake Locker carved them up for 266 yards and two scores. Can Locker sustain that level of production? Through his first three seasons, if that is the baseline, the answer is absoluately not. Does one game remove the stain of three injury filled, disappointing seasons? Not for this guy, no. But here's the key. Jake faces what figures to be a potentially historically bad Cowboys defense in Week 2. It would be wise to add him if he's available, watch him light up the 'Boys, and then move him to someone who thinks he's going all Tom Brady this season. He's not. 
Verdict: BUY. This is only in two QB leagues or on one QB leagues where you plan to sell him moving forward. Just too erratic to trust at this stage of his development.

RUNNING BACK

, Colts
As I pointed out in my Week 2 Preview piece on the Colts, Bradshaw had 50 percent as many snaps in Week 1 as did Trent Richardson. Simply put – Bradshaw is a better football player than Richardson. He's more decisive. He's more explosive. He's a better pass catcher. He's a better blocker. There's also this nasty little fact. He's an aging, injury prone vet who has averaged just under 10 games played the past three seasons. If he was asked to touch the ball 15 times a week he likely wouldn't make it to mid-season.
Verdict: SELL. Cannot trust his weary body to hold up if he's given a larger role.

Justin Forsett, Ravens
I already said my piece in the Gridiron Insights article earlier this week.
Verdict: SELL. Too little, too lacking, too middling to be a weekly option ROTW.

Chris Ivory, Jets
A ferocious runner, the Oracle has been a fan for years. (1) Here are the games played marks for Ivory in his first four seasons: 12, 6, 6 and 15. (2) He's only had one season of 140 carries. (3) Despite his beastly nature he's scored seven times in his last 28 NFL games. (4) Chris Johnson will be heavily involved with the Jets. In Week 1 Johnson was on the field for 33 snaps to Ivory's 30. 
Verdict: BUY. If he can stay healthy it's possible he could be a weekly option in the flex spot but he's no lock to get there with CJ2K around.

This is about the craziest thing I have ever seen. Literally. This dog LOVES football.

WIDE RECEIVER 

Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals
He did nothing in Week 1 receiving only four targets catching one pass for 22 yards. He also missed a touchdown by inches. Look, he's no longer elite. Move on from that. Doesn't mean he's not going to go out there and be a PPR beast cause he almost certainly will. He's never caught fewer than 71 passes or gone for less than 798 yards in a season. He will best both those numbers this season and let's not forget that per 16 games for his career Fitzgerald has averaged 8.9 scores.
Verdict: BUY. People seem to think he's the new Brian Hartline. He isn't. 

Greg Jennings, Vikings
He caught six passes for 58 yards an a score in Week 1. Cordarrelle Patterson is a dynamic talent no doubt, but he's still not shown an ability to lock down 10 targets a week since he's so raw. The team needs the chain moving Jennings for the stability he brings. Think of it this way. In 16 games as a Viking Jennings has 74 receptions, 862 yards and five scores. He could do that in 2014, and that would make him a potential WR3 in most leagues.
Verdict: BUY. It is he, not Cordarrelle Patterson, who will likely post the most receptions among wideouts on the Vikings. Not a lot of “upside” in this offense but a WR3 season is doable. 

Steve Smith, Ravens
Smith had eight scores his last two years in Carolina, and last season he caught 64 balls for 745 yards. So how the hell did he go off for 7-118-1 in Week 1 this year? Luck? Remove the 80 yard score and Smith caught six balls for 38 yards. I'm willing to lay you better than even odds that he's way more the 6-38 guy at this point of his career than the 7-118-1 guy. He won't see 15 targets in a game the rest of the season. He's nothing but a chain mover out wide.
Verdict: SELL. This could go down as the best game of the season for Smith. He's a smallish player who's lost some of his burst, and he ain't getting 15 targets again.

TIGHT END

Dwayne Allen, Colts
Allen only played one game last year cause of injury but in Week 1 this season he caught four of five targets for 64 yards and a score. He will have a role in this offense, no doubt there will be plenty of passes flying around, but that's part of the issue. There are a plethora of pass catching options so there is little chance Allen breaks out. He's a better all-round football player than Coby Fleener, and it wouldn't be at all surprising if he outperformed him this season as well. 
Verdict: BUY. Keep your expectations in check though. It will be extremely tough for him to crack the top-10 at the position even in a very good season. He's a TE2. 

Levine Toilolo, Falcons
He caught three balls for 19 yards an a score in Week. All of his targets in Week 1 came within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage as the 6'8” end isn't exactly the most fluid athlete you've ever seen. An in-line tight end, he's not going Gonzo on anyone, though with Tony Gonzalez working on his TV career there is a chance for Levine to see significant snaps in what figures to be a high powered offense. He's a prime red zone option. 
Verdict: BUY. Only on a budget though. He's a TE2 that could be an injury/buy week fill in, but it's hard to see him having stand alone value meaning you really don't want him as your starting TE.
