It happens every year: Week 1 whiplash. Fantasy owners have rash reactions to opening-week studs and duds. Good players get cut too early. Owners scramble to pick up one-week wonders.

The successful owner will no which players to target, which ones to keep, and which ones to keep an eye on. That’s what the Tracker is for, to let you know what Week 1 performances should carry over into future weeks, and which ones won’t.

PICK ‘EM UP

These players likely are avilalbe on the waiver wire, and have the potential to be regular contributors or at least solid bye-week fill-ins.

Michael Bush, RB, Raiders

Looks to get large share of carries in split with Darren McFadden.

Mark Clayton, WR, Ravens

Younger and faster than veteran Derrick Mason.

Mark Sanchez, QB, Jets

Maybe he is worth a backup spot after all.

Earl Bennett, WR, Bears

Vandy connection with QB Jay Cutler will help, at least early in season.

DON’T PANIC

These guys didn’t look good in Week 1, but they’ll bounce back.

Matt Forte, RB, Bears

Bears weren’t prepared for Packers new defensive scheme.

LaDainian Tomlinson, RB, Chargers

Raiders played inspired, and LT had ankle problem. But red flag is up.

TIME TO WORRY

Week 1 struggles could be a sign of things to come.

Steve Smith, WR, Panthers

QB problems could cut into his production.

Terrell Owens, WR, Bills

Was invisible in game Bills should have won.
