What We’re Talking About:

• The story of the day, fantasy-wise, was easily Randy Moss. Put me in the group that preached it loud and proud that Moss was done. Finished. Nothing left. What Moss showed on Sunday was an emphatic signal that those who drafted him may get a huge steal this season. Some fantasy enthusiasts will falsely claim this morning that they knew it all along….but the truth is most drafted Moss with only moderate hopes that he’d be a factor this season. Is Moss suddenly an elite fantasy WR again? That question will no doubt be the hottest topic of discussion on this opening Monday morning of the season.

• Think Moss owners are excited? How about Tom Brady owners? That’s an excited subgroup this Monday morning….

• Ditto for Kitna owners. It may be frustrating to have a Lions WR some weeks the way Martz has them spreading the ball around, but Kitna owners are likely not going to be shutting up all week about how their guy is going to lead them to a title.

• Rookie running backs. Those who drafted Adrian Peterson or Marshawn Lynch in a redraft in the last few weeks are going to be talking non-stop about what took place on Sunday. It was expected that Peterson would be brought along slowly….and yes, Chester Taylor did get hurt….but does anyone honestly believe the Vikings are going to be able or willing to keep Peterson off the field in the weeks to come? The buzz is that Peterson’s time may be now. And, he could become this year’s Frank Gore in terms of maximum return on a fourth round draft pick. As for Lynch, he’s going to need Losman to throw for more than 97 yards in the near future to keep defenses honest, but he appears to be the real deal in every respect as well.

• Drew Brees owners need to be talked down from the ledge right now. The buzz is that Brees’ first game is eerily similar to how he played in December of ’06. Have defensive coordinators figured the Saints out?

• If you run into someone this morning that looks like he got punched in the gut, it might be a Steven Jackson owner. Most guys were elated to grab him with the #2 overall pick in their drafts. He’s going to rebound from this, right? Yeah, I think so….I’m a little more concerned about Larry Johnson, though.

• What a rough night for the Giants. Starting RB Brandon Jacobs may be lost for a few weeks with a sprained knee and QB Eli Manning spends time on the sidelines with a “bruised” shoulder. Derrick Ward? Good think I backed up Jacobs with Reuben Droughns.

What We’re Wondering:

• Didn’t the Jaguars stop the run last year pretty effectively? What the heck was that? Chris Brown averages 9.2 yards per carry as he and LenWhale White total 241 yds on the ground!

• So, how often is Heath Evans going to be the recipient of goal line carries in New England? (Ask any Maroney owner this question this morning and you better be prepared to take a step back quickly)

• Why did I pass on Ronald Curry at the draft for the likes of Isaac Bruce, Donte’ Stallworth, and D.J. Hackett?

• Should I actually try to pick up Antwaan Randle-El this week?

• Who’s carrying the rock if Cadillac Williams sits on the sidelines with bruised ribs? Michael Pittman? Ernest Graham?

So, there it is- the “buzz” for this week. Don’t let the Monday blues get the best of you today…find somebody…..and talk some Football!
