Things we learned
The optimist in me would point out that the Saints offense looked nearly as bad throwing the ball in Week 1 last season against Cleveland (30 attempts, 170 yards). The Saints fan in me knows this season will get better, but Sean Payton's magic may not work quite as consistently this season.
All right, things we learned
1. Eric Johnson (8-for-56) is going to be a nice PPR option, especially against zone defenses.
2. Anthony Gonzalez (one target) may not be a big part of the Colts offense for a while. Ben Utecht may have been on the field more.
3. When Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister combine for 78 yards rushing against the Colts, you know it's a brand new season.
4. Rotoworld GM Rick Cordella is off to a good start with his prediction that Reggie Wayne (7-122-2) will be the number one fantasy wideout. Marvin Harrison (4-83-1) owners weren't disappointed.
5. Fred Thomas is on the bench, but the Saints are still prone to giving up big plays.
6. David Patten is New Orleans' third receiver, for what it's worth.
7. Drew Brees (28/41-192-0-2) owners don't need to panic. He was way off all day, but only panic if something remotely similar happens next week at Tampa.
8. Joseph Addai (142 total yards, one touchdown) must prove his durability over the long haul, but his owners will enjoy his life as a primary back in the meantime.

hey michael...
in what world are you living in where 3.8 ypc is successful?
just because you own mcallister in your league doesn't mean he's the most effective option.
i was watching the game where the colts were stuffing the run against new orleans. obviously you weren't.
