- Pierre Garcon finds himself a little lower in our top 20 than last week. The drop has more to do with the presence of DeSean Jackson, Andre Roberts, and tight end Jordan Reed, than it does with Garcon's talent. The Redskins' new weapons in the passing game mean fewer targets for Garcon. In addition to that, Garcon's quarterback doesn't appear to be comfortable in the team's new system. Not a good recipe for success.
- Cordarrelle Patterson looks really good running into the end zone with the ball in his hands, but he is still unproven. It could be really fun having him on your team, but if it doesn't work out, you'll resent him all season for being a wasted fourth-round pick.
- Wes Welker falls out of the top 20, after he suffered a concussion on Saturday night. The severity of the injury wasn't known at the time of this writing, but it's a scary situation for a player with a history of concussion issues. Emmanuel Sanders starred in Welker's absence and would be the biggest beneficiary if he were to miss time.
- It only took Kenny Britt three weeks before he finally showed something in a game. Britt had two receptions for 68 yards on Saturday and looks like the top option in the Rams' passing attack. Sam Bradford may miss time with injury, but at his current ADP Britt has value whether Bradford is under center or not.
- Jeremy Maclin survived an injury scare, but it should serve as a reminder of how Jordan Matthews is one injury away from a monster season. If Maclin can stay healthy, he could be the lead receiver in the Eagles' attack, but both he and Riley Cooper have been known to miss time in their careers.
