As always every Sunday is any given Sunday (meaning anything can happen), but Week 1 is extra special; it's that one week where you can really take away from your opponent if you're the underdog, and have some fun with the critics for the long haul. Here are some other shining examples of some guys who did good.
Denver Broncos, Peyton Manning
If you thought Michael Vick was going to be a better fantasy choice than Manning and grabbed him early just to ensure you didn't get stuck with the former Colt, I bet you're feeling the lumps of that decision right now. Manning, who's four neck surgeries in the past year put his ability to perform at a high level in question, hushed the naysayers with 253 yards and two scores. In his 15th season but first in Denver the vet shows early against an often feared defense, that he's still got it.

You hate to see any athlete go down to injury, so when Bills running back Fred Jackson limped off the field early in the blowout loss to the Jets, I wasn't expecting to see the surge of C.J Spiller take place. Jackson is expected out for at least 3 weeks. Down by as much as 41-7, Spiller grabbed the reigns of the struggling Bills squad and carried off for 169 yards and a touchdown, averaging 12 yards per carry. His hard work puts him atop the rusher leader board this week. While the Bills lost by a score of 48-28, much can be credited to the following player who also caught me off guard.
New York Jets, Mark Sanchez

Tomorrow we glance at the Thursday Night Game between the Packers and Bears - a classic if you're a football fan!
