Let’s quickly get some answers on the questions we asked heading into Week 2:

1. Will Beanie Wells begin his ascension to the feature back role? Nope. Wells got seven carries in Week 2 and fumbled twice. Tim Hightower is still entrenched as the starter.

2. Can the Texans’ offense prove Week 1 was a fluke? Absolutely. Matt Schaub was incredibly accurate and shredded the Titans even without Kevin Walter. The running game didn’t do anything, which has the coaching staff concerned (see below). But overall, Week 2 was a great sign for the Texans.

3. How will Kevin Kolb affect DeSean Jackson, Brent Celek and Brian Westbrook? Kolb more than held his own. He got picked off three times, but two of those came long after the game was decided. Westbrook didn’t get any extra work while Celek was targeted 11 times. Jackson struck on a long crossing route and should be downgraded just slightly with Kolb under center. Jason Avant had seven catches and meshes well with Kolb.

4. Can Darren Sproles carry the load for a whole game? Depends how we define “carry the load.” Sproles predictably couldn’t run the ball against the Ravens, but the Chargers used screens to Sproles as running plays. He’s a must-start as long as LaDainian Tomlinson is out, especially in PPR leagues.

5. How will the Colts react to Anthony Gonzalez’s absence and their inept running game? A whole lot of Dallas Clark. The tight end ripped apart the Dolphins on Monday and will get a big boost in targets as long as A-Gonz is out. Peyton Manning showed confidence in Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie, but there weren’t enough offensive possessions to get a real read.

On to Week 3:

1. How will the Saints divide up carries with Mike Bell out? The guess is that Lynell Hamilton and Pierre Thomas will split carries while Reggie Bush will maintain his normal role. But if Thomas can show that he’s 100 percent, isn’t he the feature back? His owners sure hope so.

2. Was Mario Manningham‘s breakout for real? Now that everyone in the league is well aware of what Manningham can do, he’s sure to command more attention. How will he deal with a much tougher matchup against Buc corners Ronde Barber and Aqib Talib?

3. Can Mike Sims-Walker be counted on as a WR3? The path has been cleared for Sims-Walker with Troy Williamson out for the year and Nate Hughes on the practice squad.

4. Can Steve Slaton get on track? Texans coach Gary Kubiak took some shots at Slaton this week, saying he wished he had signed Cedric Benson and he wants to get Ryan Moats more carries. How does Slaton respond? He has a good matchup against the Jaguars.

5. Will Rashard Mendenhall start to eat into Willie Parker’s workload? The Steelers keep saying Mendenhall is doing everything right and they want him to get the ball more, but it doesn’t show up on the field. Mendenhall has seven carries in the first two weeks.
