Trends after week 2 (1 Viewer)

Good for RBs: Seems like Cincy, Cleveland, KC, and Atlanta make for good RB starts, and we might add Denver to this list given Lynch and Jordan's games against them.

Bad for RBs: Obviously Chicago, and I guess you can add SD to this list even though the Pats RBs had pretty good success against them. Pitt seems pretty lethal against the run this year. Baltimore is expected to be here, but Houston? Belleive it. Thus far they rank third against the run, shutting down LJ in week 1 and both Carolina RBs in week 2.

Good for WRs: NYG, DAL, NO, NYJ, CLE, ETA CINCY and suprisingly CHI has not been shutting down team's passing games this year. They rank 13th againsst the pass

Bad for WRs: Denver seems like WR hell right now, and I wouldn't want to start any WRs against Pitt thus far either. Surprised to find the Packers and Lions at the top of the list. Lions are a mirage because they've played teams with awful passing games (OAK and MINNY) but the Pack have now done it against Philly and NYG, albeit with Eli hurting last week. The Lions play Philly this week, so we'll see how effective they can be against a better passing team. NE has been bad for passing, and shut down pretty much everyone against the pass.

anyone care to add to this list? It could be useful for WDIS questions. Sorry if this is a honda, didn't see it anywhere else.

After seeing Derrick Anderson torch the Bengals secondary I have to believe any decent WR start against them has to be considered. Bengals games are going to be shoot-outs and they made a 2nd stringer on a bad team look like a Probowler. Jamal Lewis was wriiten off and he manhandled them as well. The Bengals defense looks like a team we may want to match-up against in the next few weeks.

 
I wouldn't throw Houston in the good run defense column just yet. LJ was supposed to have a reduced load and he missed all preseason so I wouldn't look into that too much. Carolina is decent but still not a top rushing team by any measure.
