Broncos: Gotta say: Jay Cutler sure looked like a fantasy starter to me Monday night. That 299-yard, two-touchdown effort came against a pretty good pass defense and was accomplished without his top receiver (suspended Brandon Marshall). Let me put it this way: If you were lucky enough to draft Cutler as your backup to Tom Brady, there's no need panicking and picking up someone new off the waiver wire ...
Let's give the Selvin Young/Andre Hall competition for playing time another week to sort itself out. I still believe Young will be the more fantasy-worthy of the two. Count on this: Michael Pittman's relatively high number of touches in the opener was the night's aberration ...
Here's a way the Broncos can help you right now: By picking up kicker Matt Prater. He was a perfect 7-for-7 in kicks in Oakland (five PATs, two field goals) and still has eight games remaining at altitute. Grab him off waivers.
Raiders: Not much to say here. Anything in the Raider passing game other than Zach Miller should not be considered. And Miller only as a backup tight end ...
The Raiders have no choice but to continue to run the ball. Justin Fargas did gain 97 yards in the opener, and could duplicate that number at times (like this week at Kansas City) this season. And Darren McFadden still has potential, but let's give him some serious pine time until he shows us more than in the opener.
