Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings: Building on a strong week
If we learned one thing about the NFL in week one: the lockout certainly did not slow down the offensive numbers. A ridiculous 14 quarterbacks had more than 300 yards, four of which went over 400. 13 receivers topped 100 yards, including seven double-digit touchdown performances.

Colts Lose Another Game-Changer in Austin Collie
The Indianapolis Colts can't seem to catch a break on the injury front in 2010.
