As expected, a great opening week. Should continue to flourish. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Jones showed great speed once he came in for Marion Barber, who left the game with a rib injury. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

The touchdown marked the 130th of TO's career, tying him for second on the all-time list with Chris Carter. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Keep an eye on this situation this week. Even with banged up ribs, they still hurt really bad. Felix Jones may be thrust into a more prominent role. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Jones presented strong fantasy value for a corner in Tennessee and could do the same as a starter for the Cowboys. He doesn't pile up the tackles but makes up for the shortfall with good ball skills and tremendous return ability. I wouldn't put him in the lineup this week, but stashing him on the bench wouldn't be a bad idea. Maybe he could perform well enough to hasten Anthony Henry's move to safety after Newman returns. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Newman has tended to be too effective a cover guy to be a good fantasy option anyway. Opposing quarterbacks prefer to test the other side of the field. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Jackson had missed the last three weeks of the preseason after spraining his MCL. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Bollinger was the backup to Tarvaris Jackson last season, but apparently the organization liked what they saw in John David Booty. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Great news for all you AP owners out there. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Jones has been issue-free so far in Dallas, but let's see if he can keep it up. He'll be a backup and sub-package player for now, however, unless Terence Newman's groin takes him back out of the lineup - or Anthony Henry gets hurt. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Robison is listed as Jared Allen's primary backup and could see time on the left side as well, if he rotates in with Ray Edwards. He performed pretty well as a rookie situational rusher last season. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

His return does seem to indicate, however, that Newman will be on the field for the opener against Cleveland. His presence would keep Adam Jones from starting. Newman could see a bump in numbers early if opposing offenses choose to test the groin injury that kept him out for nearly all of camp. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Jackson told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that he still has very limited range of motion in his knee. He'll sit out the final preseason game but declared he's be ready to play in the season opener. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

More playing time should make the grumpy Ellis happier, but it could serve to wear down the aging player. It'll be surprising if Ellis matches his lofty 2007 sack total no matter how much time Spencer misses. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

The surgery should mean more time at least initially for Ellis, which will probably make him happy but could wear him out sooner. Neither Ellis nor Spencer offers consistent enough numbers to be worthy IDP picks unless your league eschews tackles. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

That the team would take the risk of sending him out for a practice game seems to indicate that the toe shouldn't be worried about. Of course, if it ends up merely being a bad decision, we should know after the weekend. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Newman's injury makes the situation more interesting, as it's still unclear whether he'll be ready to start the regular season. Jones had a rough go in the first exhibition game but was all right in the second. His return ability adds to his fantasy value, which is decent for a corner. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Even Devin Hester tops out at about two kick-return TDs in a season, so this isn't a big deal. It could actually be good for fantasy owners. The fact that a dominant college returner will be kept out of the return role shows that the team has relatively big plans for him in the offense. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

And if you've already selected Adrian Peterson in your draft, you just took a pretty big gulp. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

None too soon, either, as he'll now get the chance to fill in for Madieu Williams while the free-agent addition recovers from a neck injury. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Johnson was a late riser up draft boards and could prove to be a surprise on the field. He might be hard-pressed to keep the job once Williams returns after the Vikings signed the veteran for big money over the winter, but a strong performance could hasten Johnson's eventual displacement of Darren Sharper. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

That timeframe would only keep him out through the first two or three games, but nerve issues can often take longer to recover from than initially expected. Rookie Tyrell Johnson will fill in. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Jenkins' ceiling for at least the next couple of years might be the No. 3 corner role, as Newman and Jones figure to stay ahead of him. Anthony Henry is currently starting, but his move to safety doesn't seem too far off. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Bennett is more known for his pass-catching ability, but was thought to figure prominently in the offense this year opposite Jason Witten. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

The second-year end will likely serve as the primary backup at both end spots and a situational rusher when healthy. He posted a good sack rate in limited duty last year. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Jones has impressed his new team so far and could be in line to fill Newman's spot if the starter can't get back quickly enough. If Jones does get some real time in Newman's absence, he could show enough to lead the team to expedite Anthony Henry's expected future shift to safety, which would open up another corner spot. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

If Newman's recovery period lingers beyond that, it could open a starting job to Adam Jones. At the very least, it should allow Jones and first-round pick Mike Jenkins more work with the first team. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Glenn has injury problems and we're really not sure how healthy his knee is after getting released by the Cowboys. But, if he lands in Miami, he'll re-join Bill Parcells. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

This appears to be the first thing he's said over the past two years other than, "The coaches don't know how to use me." Williams is still expected to come out on third downs, which should cut into his interceptions. He could make up for that with more tackles, though. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

The former Chief led the league in sacks last season despite missing the first two games. He should revamp the Vikings' rush -- and, as a result, the whole pass defense -- this year. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Opinions on Williams will improve even further this season if his sack numbers jump they way they should with Jared Allen around. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

The quoted scout said it best: "Ware is a beast." He only seems to be getting better with experience. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Robison showed too good a pass-rush burst in limited time last year to stay on the sidelines, and it isn't as if Allen will come out on third downs. If Edwards can't get past this injury, Robison could become a decent spot starter in IDP leagues that require linemen. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

In two seasons, Mitchell has four sacks over 23 games. He could see more time than expected this year, as Edwards' back issue has been recurring. Mitchell could also lose time to second-year end Brian Robison. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Edwards should be a real fantasy sleeper at left end this season if he can get healthy. Jayme Mitchell, his backup, doesn't bring the same pass-rush potential. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Glenn still hasn't signed an injury waiver that the team wanted him to sign. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Bennett went to Dallas with the No. 61 overall pick and has tremendous athletic ability. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Booty will open camp as the No. 3 QB, but with Tarvaris Jackson as the starter, you never know. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Ah, yes, the old "vote of confidence". What this really means is "Sorry, kid, but if we have a chance to get Favre, you'll be toting a clipboard next season." (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Hamlin picked off a career-high five passes in his first season with Dallas last year and nearly doubled his previous best with 15 other pass breakups. IDP owners, however, could deal with much more than his 45 solo tackles, which would make him a more consistent contributor. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

The good news: his times have improved since being clocked at 4.69 in the 2006 Combine. the bad news: Jackson is supposed to make his living throwing the ball and reading defenses, not running away from them. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

The Vikings want to have him on the field as much as possible, and with a season under his belt, he'll probably feel more comfortable on third downs. He may even improve on his 18 catches from 2007. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Spears has disappointed since Dallas drafted him in the first round in 2005. He has just 4.5 total sacks in three seasons and could be in danger of losing his starting spot. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

His emergence, plus the plan to play Jay Ratliff at end more often, will likely reduce the role of starting end Marcus Spears. Spears has just 4.5 sacks in three seasons since being drafted in Round 1 in 2005. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Ratliff has a ways to go to make an IDP ripple, but he did muster seven sacks over the past two seasons, and Wade Phillips' defenses are known for pressuring the quarterback. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)
