The fantasy football season is quickly approaching and this weekend was most likely our last chance to get a look at the league's top players before the season kicks off. Here are some of the weekends most interesting developments.
1. Mike Anderson seems to have secured the starting RB job in Denver, rushing for 159 yards and scoring 2 touchdowns against the Colts on Saturday.
2. Terrell Owens and Donovan McNabb hooked up for the first time this season and put up stellar numbers.
3. Kansas City Chiefs backup RB Larry Johnson put up massive numbers again this week and overshadowed Priest Holmes. Johnson is expected to have a greater role in the offense this year. Don't be suprised if he ends up being the starter by the end of the year.
4. Miami Dolphins RB Ricky Williams looked good against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday, rushing for 59 yards and a touchdown in 10 carries. Rookie Ronnie Brown did not look impressive, picking up only 20 yards in 6 carries. Williams is suspended for the first four games, giving Brown a chance to win the job. If Brown fails to perform, look for Ricky to take over.
5. Cowboys RB Julius Jones continues to look strong, rushing 10 times for 50 yards and a touchdowns against the Houston Texans.
6. The Colts offense finally got it going against the Denver Broncos, putting to rest fears that the offense was out of sync. Manning threw for 206 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2-1/2 quarters.
7. Bears rookie Kyle Orton has won the starting QB position. He outperformed Chad Hutchinson in the preseason and has played with a great deal of poise.
8. Seattle Seahawks WR Darrell Jackson caught seven passes for 99 yards and one touchdown.
9. Tampa Bay rookie running back Cadillac Williams looked great, gaining 28 yards in five carries for Tampa Bay against Miami on Saturday.
10. Maurice Clarett has been cut by the Denver Broncos.
