I know its just week 2, and a lot of these teams/players will turn around, but here is the top 10 things that have surprised me after the first 2 weeks... 1. Culpepper (1 Td, 10 TOs, ouch!) 2. Manning (376yds pass, 2 Tds, 1 To... figured he'd get that in a quarter) 3. Palmer (617yds pass with 5tds, wow!) 4. LT (Just 124yds rush) 5. J. Lewis (Just 57yds rush) 6. Cadillac (Leads the league in rushing; 276yds) 7. Parker (2nd in rushing; 272yds) 8. Patriots (bottom of there division!) 9. Ravens, Chargers (0-2, surprise, surprise) 10. Packers, Vikings (0-2, dang...) Lemme know if you agree/disagree and what your top 10 surprises are after week 2. (By the way, mine are not in any particular order)

(By the way, mine are not in any particular order)</div> hmm Manning and Culpepper are very surprising fantasy wise. Palmer was always my big sleeper. I took him late in just about all my leagues and it's been great. LT still has 3 TD's in 2 games which isn't that bad. Lewis is a big surprsie. Cadillac was my pick to have a great year for rookies but this year. No one saw Parker coming unless they were in Pittsburgh. He was a nice little secret. Pats not shocked at 1-1 thats where I picked them after 2 games. Ravens and Chargers. Ravens are a shocker to me. I had them at 2-0. Chargers I had at 1-1. WOW Packers and Vikes sigh............
Packers are not a surprise. Parker shouldn't be that big of a surprise when you consider how much the Steelers ran the ball last season. Which is why I drafted him late on my fantasy team for insurance. I started him over Portis this week & I'm glad I did. I didn't want to have to do this...but with Clinton out & Benson unlikely to be ready for a full load, I'm forced to start Willie against my Pats next week. Chargers are a surprise, but I think they'll get things turned around next week with the G-Men coming into town. Bucs & Vikes are definitely a surprise for opposite reasons. Cadillac is making a name for himself. If he continues to flourish next season he'll likely be a top 5 fantasy back. As for the Vikes...well as much as people wanna say they shouldn't have let Randy go, it's the O&DL that's been the cause of their early downfall.
"Parker isnt that big of a surprise"?!?!? Any RB that is a 3rd stringer that no one has heard of and comes in to get almost 300yds in 2 games and is only 2yds behind the league leading rusher is a huge surprise!!! And your not surprised that the Pack is 0-2? They lost to the freaking Browns and Lions!
RBs are generally only as good as the OL in front of them. And I'm sorry, but the Pack are now in the class of those 2 teams.

They lost to the freaking Browns and Lions!</div> I also have parker on my fantasy team and if you saw him run wild on buffalo last season when buffalo was trying to get into the playoffs you would have known he's for real. Nevermind the steelers run game is alot like the broncos in the way that they seem to be able to plug anyone in and be effective.
who would think the Stephen Davis could come back from microfracture surgery to get 3 TDs against Patriots, they only back since 2000 to do that
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Packers are not a surprise.</div> Yeah, I think they are. I don't think many people expected a Favre led team to start 0-2 with that cupcake schedule. It may not be a surprise for you personally (if you're clairvoyant), but I think it is to the majority of people. I'm surprised the Redskins and Giants are both 2-0, even if both of the 'Skins wins were supremely ugly.
I agree, I did not expect the Pack to be 0-2 after those 2 easy games, and Im pretty sure the majority of everyone else didnt either.

of course u dont say ur team is gonna be oh and too i will give u that i dont know why they lost to lions for browns big thing but now u got TB and the panthers to win agaisnt and that is gonna be tough
yea the pack lost two easily winnable games, showin that they are pretty bad, the only reason they still have hope for the playoffs is that everyone else in their divison is pretty bad
The Lions game I wasn't sure about(win or lose) The Browns should have been a slaughter fest! Who Blitzes 7 guys on 3rd down jeez.
