Don't Panic

As week one of the 2007 fantasy football season comes to a close, chances are you fall into one of two groups.

If you're one of the lucky ones, you are celebrating your good fortune; handing out digital high-fives to Tony Romo, Adrian Peterson and Randy Moss.

But if you're like me, you've already got your finger on the trigger (or, in this case, the mouse) ready to send players like Philip Rivers, Reggie Bush and Tony Gonzalez packing for a new fantasy pad.

Wait! Don't do it! There is reason for hope.

For one, there are still 16 weeks of NFL football left, leaving around 12 or 13 fantasy weeks until the playoffs.

But more than that, it's not unusual for good players to struggle in week one, as the handy game log at ESPN.com shows.

In his first game last year, Rivers went 8-for-11 for 103 yards, but finished the year as one of the top fantasy QB's in the league.

Similarly, Shaun Alexander rushed for just 73 yards and no touchdowns in his 2005 opener, then went on to set (for a year's time) the NFL's single-season touchdown record.

In other words: take a deep breath, take your finger off the mouse, and go play some sudoku or something.

But if you are still sure you need to drop someone or have a player with a serious injury, read on.

Here's the top Week 2 pickups from FFToolbox.com. My favorite? Giants running back Derrick Ward, who will carry the load offensively after the loss of Eli Manning and Brandon Jacobs to injury.

Remember, fantasy football isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. Or at least a 5K.
