Vikings: Yep, same ol' Vikings. They might have fooled some people by acquiring Bernard Berrian in the off-season, but the ex-Bear's value plummeted the minute it was clear Brett Favre was not joining the team. I can't recommend any receivers with Tarvaris Jackson at quarterback ...
No QB means a whole lot of Adrian Peterson. Duh. But it says here we'll often be seeing a lot more of Cedric Taylor. When the Vikings have the upper hand in a game - which will occur at least one-third of the time - you're going to see Taylor get at least 15 touches. That makes him fantasy-worthy, presuming you can predict the right spots, which really shouldn't be hard. Look at your bench: Can you say that about every one of your backup RBs?
Packers: Before making Aaron Rodgers a fantasy starter, let's review what he was up against in Week 1: One of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. I'm not sold. I do, however, like the eight rushes. More of that and maybe I'll change my mind ...
You heard it here first: You'll never have a better opportunity to trade Ryan Grant. He posted nice numbers in the opener, but only because Rodgers was able to pass the ball effectively to set up the run. If Rodgers stumbles - and I believe he will - then Grant goes down with him. If I had Grant, I wouldn't want to take that chance - especially now that he has established a very high asking price. Sell.
