Fantasy Football Week 2 Add/Drop: Go Get Vick

Feeling confident after a Week 1 fantasy football win? Congratulations, my friend; way to “walk the walk,” as the kids say. Desperate for redemption following a Week 1 fantasy flop? Just know that you’re not alone, even though you may feel a degree of solitude.
Win or lose, it’s never a bad idea to try to tweak your fantasy roster - and, as always, injuries and surprisingly strong play has shifted the fantasy landscape after NFL Week 1. Here are four players that make for excellent waiver-wire acquisitions this week, and four more guys that probably shouldn’t reside on your fantasy roster much longer. It’s fantasy football Week 2 Add/Drop time!
Add, Or Consider Adding
Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. Playing in place of the concussed Kevin Kolb, Vick looked like the Vick of yesteryear in Week 1, throwing for 175 yards, adding 103 on the ground, and tossing a touchdown strike in a Week 1 loss to Green Bay. Eagles coach Andy Reid has made it clear that Kolb remains the starting quarterback despite Vick's strong play, but it seems unlikely at this point that Kolb will be able to play against Detroit (a fantasy quarterback's dream matchup) in Week 2. Vick might not be a long-term solution, but he's a heck of a band-aid if you need a spot starter this week - and there's still a chance Vick unseats Kolb at some point later this season.
Packers running back Brandon Jackson. This one is easy, and if you haven't put a waiver claim in on him already, stop what you're doing and get that done right now. FOX's Jay Glazer is reporting that starter Ryan Grant has been lost for the season with an ankle injury, which places Jackson in line for a feature back workload in one of the NFL's most potent offenses. Fullback John Kuhn may hawk goal line carries, and Jackson is unproven, but this is still a waiver wire addition you don't want to pass up. There's major potential here.
Rams wide receiver Mark Clayton. Acquired less than a week before his first game in St. Louis, Clayton quickly established chemistry with rookie quarterback Sam Bradford, hauling in 10 passes for 119 yards in his Rams debut. Don't expect that type of production every week - Bradford will be too inconsistent, and defenses will adjust accordingly - but Clayton makes for an excellent depth addition at this point.
Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis. The Jags seem to re-invent their offense to some degree each year, and it appears that 2010 might finally be Lewis' year to shine. He only caught two passes in Week 1, but both went for scores in a win over Denver. Lewis is the go-to guy in the red zone for Jacksonville, but we'd advise against installing him as your starter, as he has historically been a fantasy disappointment. Still, he might be worth a stash to see if he continues to play a bigger role.
Drop, Or Consider Dropping
Panthers quarterback Matt Moore. Set aside the fact that he suffered a concussion in a Week 1 loss to the Giants. Before that happened, Moore was roughed up, completing just 42.4% of his passes and tossing three picks. The Panthers' coaching staff has him on a short leash, so if Moore's struggles continue, he could get the hook fairly quickly. Surely, you can do better at backup quarterback (unless, of course, you're in a two-QB league).
Browns running back Jerome Harrison. Cleveland always seems to find a way to keep the speedy Harrison from reaching feature back status. This time, they relied on Peyton Hillis, who got most of the red zone work in Week 1 and scored a touchdown. Harrison, meanwhile, carried the ball just nine times. If you have the choice between the two, go with Hillis.
Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman. If you snagged Edelman with the idea that he'd be a nice fill-in if Wes Welker wasn't returned to top form, it's time to let go of that idea. Welker scored two touchdowns in a Week 1 win, while Edelman was inactive. Furthermore, second-year pro Brandon Tate, who caught four passes and returned a kick for a touchdown, looks like he's in line for a bigger role in the offense. Edelman can re-gain his value at a moment's notice, but steer clear for now.
Redskins tight end Fred Davis. Davis had a breakout season in 2009, catching 48 passes and scoring six touchdowns in place of injured starter Chris Cooley. Many believed that the arrival of Donovan McNabb would help Davis continue to excel, even as Cooley returned to the lineup. Davis wasn't thrown to once in Week 1, however, while Cooley hauled in eight receptions. Keep him on your watch list, but don't keep him on your roster.
