Kurt Warner is the new old

It’s ok. It’s not over. Even if you started Kurt Warner. Or Chris Johnson. Or have any of the Pittsburgh running backs. Don’t panic. It’s a long season. And I’m not just saying that because I own Steve Slaton.

Most will get better. Rob Bironas won’t play at Heinz Field again. And Carolina will remember they’re a running team.

But a few adjustments for week two is probably necessary…unless you own Drew Brees and Adrian Peterson.

A few players widely available in Yahoo leagues:

Todd Heap – Owned in only 20 percent of Yahoo leagues, the tight end caught 5 passes for 74 yards, including a touchdown against the Chiefs. This week, Joe Flacco will continue to rely on Heap as they face the Chargers defense, which is very weak against tight ends.

Matt Hasselbeck – I know this is the third time in a row Hasselbeck has appeared in my blog, but he’s so likeable: 279 yards and three touchdowns. I’d really like to have tight end John Carlson on my team too.

Carnell Williams – Barely winning the starting nod, Cadillac regained his old form boasting 97 yards and a touchdown. Owned in only 37 percent of Yahoo leagues, the Tampa Bay back is a legitimate No. 2 starter.

Devery Henderson –Drew Brees is his QB, which should be enough. Henderson boasted a 5-catch, 103-yard effort, including one for 58 yards. I’m more impressed by the 5 catches, hopefully forecasting the QB/WR chemistry. I’m less impressed that it was the Lions.
