He scored on both of San Diego's goal-line carries, including the first quarter when Ryan Mathews was still playing. After Mathews left in the first quarter with an ankle injury, Tolbert became the featured back and responded superbly.

He ran for 82 yards and one score from 16 carries to average a strong 5.1 yards. He also added one catch for 13 yards to total 95 for the game. Even as just a goal-line back, Tolbert will have value in fantasy leagues and have plenty of scoring chances. The Chargers face the favorable foes of Seattle, Arizona, Oakland and St. Louis for the next four contests. — Roger Rotter

He disappointed greatly in the opener, but came back strong with a superb fantasy effort by throwing for 220 yards and three touchdowns. He threw for multiple scores only twice last season.

He’ll be aiming to match that in Week 3 when he faces Miami, which was one of the two teams that he passed for two scores. Sanchez can also serve as a bye-week quarterback at Buffalo in Week 4 when Tony Romo and Brett Favre have byes. — Roger Rotter

After missing the opener, Thomas sparkled in his first game as a pro. He led Denver with eight catches for 97 yards and a score, including a 21-yard touchdown. The first-round rookie will be needed for his play-making ability next game against high-scoring Indianapolis. — Roger Rotter

After Michael Turner left early in the second quarter, Snelling became Atlanta's featured running back and had a spectacular fantasy day. He totaled 186 yards and three touchdowns by rushing for his second 100-yard game of his four-year career and catching five passes for 57 yards.

Turner's owners should claim Snelling in case Turner can't play against New Orleans in Week 3. — Roger Rotter

As Mark Sanchez progresses, so will Keller's stats improve. The third-year tight end achieved a career-high 115 yards and one score from seven receptions to record his first 100-yard receiving game with Sanchez as his quarterback.

He'll be aiming for his third career 100-yard receiving game against Miami. He had his previous best fantasy game with Sanchez against Miami last year when he caught eight passes for 76 yards and a score. — Roger Rotter

After Bruce Gradkowski replaced Jason Campbell after halftime, Murphy was targeted seven times and caught five passes for 64 yards and a score. He had one catch for 27 yards when Jason Campbell threw to him three times in the first half.

Murphy finished with a personal second-best 91 yards of his two-year career. With Chaz Schilens missing the first two contests, Murphy can emerge as Oakland's top receiver. — Roger Rotter

Even with backup Shuan Hill at quarterback, Pettigrew achieved a career-high 107 receiving yards by catching seven of eight passes thrown his way. He's shown he can contribute despite having knee surgery last year.

Tony Scheffler managed only one catch for five yards and was targeted just four times. Nate Burleson also missed nearly the entire game with an ankle injury, helping Pettigrew's cause. — Roger Rotter

Jason Witten could miss Week 3 with a concussion after he was knocked out early in the fourth quarter. Dallas also has a Week 4 bye.

Bennett caught five passes for 34 yards after Witten’s injury and finished with seven receptions for 45 yards. He'll be a fantasy factor against Houston if Witten misses Week 3. — Roger Rotter

He impressed greatly by gaining 106 yards and catching all six passes thrown his way in only his second NFL contest. New England meets winless Buffalo and surprising Miami for the next two contests before having a Week 5 bye. — Roger Rotter
