Will they stick around?

Michael Ferraro has compiled a list of top performers in the first two weeks of the season and discusses why  they have a chance to stick around.

1) Andre Brown, running back, New York Giants: Ahmad Bradshaw should be worried after the performance Brown had this week. When Bradshaw is healthy don’t expect Brown to put up the kind of numbers he posted today but he is good back running back that should get a lot of touches instead of David Wilson.

2) Alfred Morris, running back, Washington Redskins: Morris took Roy Helu’s starting job but he looks like he might be the real. I would continue to check his performances because Mike Shanahan is notorious for changing running backs.

3) Martellus Bennett, tight end, New York Giants: Leaving Dallas was the best thing that could have ever happened to Bennett, being the starting tight end he has already eclipsed his 2011 season total with 3 receiving touchdowns in as many games.

4) Kevin Olgetree, wide receiver, Dallas Cowboys: After having a monster week 1, Olgetree cooled off in Seattle but it wasn't just him, it was the entire Dallas offense.

5) C.J. Spiller, running back, Buffalo Bills: Fred Jackson might lose his job by the time he returns from his ankle injury. Spiller has been an absolute fantasy beast and I only see good things from him to come.

6) Stevan Ridley, running backs, New England Patriots:  Ridley is a nice surprise with the law firm leaving for the Bengals and he should continue to have solid numbers.  He is a smart pick up and his workload will likely increase.

7) Danny Amendola, wide receiver, St. Louis Rams: Had a career day last week against the Redskins and one would suspect he will only get better as the year progresses.

8) Dennis Pitta, tight end, Baltimore Ravens: Pitta has become Joe Flacco’s new favorite target and will figure to get a lot of targets and receptions, he is a definite waiver wire pick up.

9) Donnie Avery, wide receiver, Indianapolis Colts: Without Austin Collie, Donnie Avery is quickly becoming Andrew Luck’s second favorite target behind Reggie Wayne. Expect a breakout season from him.

10) Reggie Bush, running back, Miami Dolphins: Bush exploded last week against the Raiders and should be taken in most leagues but I figure that his success should continue.

11) Brian Hartline, wide receiver, Miami Dolphins: Without Brandon Marshall, Hartline is the clear No.1 receiver in Miami.

12) Alex Smith, quarterback, San Francisco 49ers: Finally having the same offensive system seems to have really helped Smith this season. He is a underrated quarterback and should put solid numbers with a much improved offense.

13) Matt Cassel, quarterback, Kansas City Chiefs: While the Chiefs are 0-2, Cassel when healthy is a solid back up fantasy quarterback. If the Chiefs continue to get down early his numbers should be a nice boost.

14) Brandon Gibson, wide receiver, St. Louis Rams: He is the clear No.2 receiver for the St. Louis Rams behind Danny Amendola. Expect his targets and numbers to rise and could be a good solid fantasy player.

15) Dante Rosario, tight end, San Diego Chargers: Rosario might be a tempting pick up for some people but I would avoid him at all costs. He is a illusion, if Gates is healthy we might not see him get a target in week 3, he is a fluke of the week player that might cause more damage than good.
