Two weeks down, and now the picture of football season is starting to take shape. Owners are getting a feel about their teams. Now comes the all-important part of filling the gaps in your lineup before everyone good is gone. With that, here is what to be looking for in week three.

Quarterbacks

This column has spent a lot of time on young, inexperienced quarterbacks. Enter Jacoby Brissett. New England’s third choice will likely get a chance against the Texans. With Jimmy Garoppolo going down in the second quarter last week, that means it is Brissett’s turn. He threw for 92 yards in the second half, but the Patriots were already up at that point. He did take two sacks, and the Texans have that J.J Watt guy.

For a guy with two great offensive weapons, Ryan Fitzpatrick does not get a lot of love. Sure he is not a top 10 quarterback, but keep an eye on him once bye weeks start. A good pair of receivers in Erik Decker and Brandon Marshall, Fitzpatrick has the weapons. He had a big game last week, but a trip to Kansas City is tricky.

Julian Edelman. Yes, that Julian Edelman. Going back to the injury to Garoppolo, that means there is only one quarterback on the Patriots’ roster. Edelman is now technically the backup to Brissett. It is worth noting that he spent three seasons at quarterback in college for Kent State. In that time, he amassed nearly 5,000 yards, 30 touchdowns and 31 interceptions. I guess there is a such a thing as QB/WR combo points.

Running Backs

Now unloading on platform 28, the AP train. At this time last week, this column said to keep an eye on the aging running back, but not to sound the alarms. When Adrian Peterson hobbled down the tunnel against the Packers, those alarms started to sound. Code Red? Not quite. Is it time to drop Peterson? Maybe not, but a torn meniscus is not ideal. On top of that, he was averaging 1.5 yards a carry before the injury. That is simply not good enough, even if he is available next week.

So you have Jonathan Stewart, and you are looking for a replacement.  He will be out Sunday against the Vikings and maybe the next week at Atlanta. Fozzy Whittaker looks like he will be next in line for the Panthers. In Stewart’s absence, Whittaker got 100 yards last week, and is averaging 4.3 yards a carry in his career.

Danny Woodhead ranked very highly among running backs that were number two on their teams. In week one, he put up just as many points as Melvin Gordon. He may be the best “touchdown vulture” in the league. It is a darn shame that he suffered a torn ACL Sunday and will be out for the season. Gordon’s owners must be rejoicing, with more chances coming his way.

Wide Receivers

With three touchdowns in two games, Mike Wallace is a good target. The Baltimore receiver has seven catches this year, but nearly half end in the end-zone. It is worth noting he has faced a couple of cookie cutter defenses in Buffalo and Cleveland. However, it won’t be as hard as the trip to Jacksonville this week. The Jags have been terrible on defense, and that is not an understatement.

With a pair of hundred yard games, Will Fuller looks to be the top target in Houston.  The rookie out of Notre Dame has quickly adjusted to the NFL. Houston gets a trip to New England this week, who’s secondary has not been that good this year. Given the fact the defense could cause turnovers leading to the offense being on the field more, he would be a quality pick.
