Hot pickups - Week 2

It's still early, so don't overreact if you started out 0-1 (like I did) and start overhauling your roster.

If you can't resist, however, or if you just realized you drafted three kickers, here are a couple guys you might look into picking up:

• RB Chris Brown, Tennessee Titans: Brown smoked the Chiefs (19 carries, 175 yards) and left platoon-mate LenDale White (18 carries, 66 yards) in his dust.

The bad news: The platoon might still be in place for the foreseeable future, the Titans won't play the Chiefs every game, and it's Chris Brown. A useful pickup, but don't get too excited.

• RB Derrick Ward, New York Giants: The spry, little-used Ward did his best Tiki Barber impression after Brandon Jacobs went down with a knee injury Sunday night (116 total yards, TD).

The bad news: The bulk of those yards came in one 44-yard chunk, the Cowboys defense didn't seem much interested in stopping the Giants, and Reuben Droughns is still lurking in the backfield. Jacobs could also be back in a few weeks, but for the short term, I'd rather have Ward, as Droughns is playing fullback.

• WR Ronald Curry, Oakland Raiders: There was some potential for either Curry or Jerry Porter to be a contributor this year. Curry (133 yards, TD) took a big step forward, while Porter (two catches, 26 yards) didn't. In fact, Curry led all NFL receivers with 10 catches in Week 1.

The bad news: Just when Curry was showing a little rapport with QB Josh McCown, we learn McCown hurt his finger and foot in Week 1, and Daunte Culpepper may take over the starting reins. Who knows what we can expect from him. Oh, and they're also facing a challenging Broncos defense this week. Consider yourself warned.
