ESPN Insider Trading, Team Tips for Week 2 NFL Fantasy Football
ESPN.com has offered its NFL Fantasy Football insider trading based on information gleaned from every team’s locker room. Their pre-Week 2 edition should help owners with their roster decisions. We profile a few of the players below
Todd Archer notes of the Dallas Cowboys and DeMarco Murray:
“With Tony Romo coming off a three-interception game in Week 1, the Cowboys could become more reliant on DeMarco Murray, especially as they head on the road for the first time this season. Tennessee shut down Jamaal Charles (seven carries, 19 yards), but the Cowboys have to show faith in Murray away from home and make life easier for Romo. Against San Francisco, Murray ran 22 times for 118 yards, but his impact in the passing game against the Titans could be big, too; and that would be welcome news for those of us in PPR leagues. In the 10 games following a three-interception effort by Romo in his career, Cowboys running backs have averaged 5.5 catches for 41 yards. “
Another top Fantasy Football prospect, Jacksonville’s Allen Hurns, has Mike DiRocco believing he is the real deal.

“He has a better grasp of the offense than fellow rookies Marquise Lee and Allen Robinson since he played under OC Jedd Fisch at the University of Miami. Coach Gus Bradley said Hurns would be the Jaguars' No. 2 receiver when/if Cecil Shorts III returns because of his comfort level with the offense.”
And what about Minnesota now that they have lost Adrian Peterson, at least for this week?
Reporter Ben Goessling observed:
“If the Patriots use Darrelle Revis in the same manner that they did last week -- and the Vikings move their receivers around as they've done in recent games -- Vikings wideouts should still have opportunities on Sunday. Revis played most of last week's game on one side of the field, and the Vikings put both Greg Jennings and Cordarrelle Patterson in a number of different positions last week. Quarterback Matt Cassel won't be afraid to challenge Revis, and the Vikings should have enough variety in their receiver sets for both Jennings and Patterson to get their chances this week.”
