Tom Brady's spectacular return to action last night certainly comforted his fantasy owners, and the 12 passes each that he completed to Randy Moss and Wes Welker must have their PPR league owners giddy. But someone already owns all those guys, so let's focus on TE Ben Watson, who caught six passes for 77 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including the game-winner.

As someone who owned Watson on multiple teams in 2007 and 2008, I wasn't ready to give Watson any more chances. He missed much of the preseason with a hamstring injury, and seemed to be in danger of losing much of his job to Chris Baker, or even being cut. Then last night came, and ... wow.

Tight ends are generally pretty similar after the top three or four, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if Watson is his usual, inconsistent self again this season. But he's owned in just two percent of FOXSports.com leagues right now, and the Patriots once again seem ready to throw, throw and throw some more this season (53 passes, 23 rushes last night). If you need a free-agent tight end, Watson is there for the taking.

On to the rest of the news: 

• In the Chargers' comeback win over the Raiders, the running back splits were interesting, as Darren Sproles had nine carries to LaDainian Tomlinson's 13, and Michael Bush seems ready to be a thorn in the side of Darren McFadden's owners. I don't think I'm ready to grab Raiders WR Louis Murphy (0.28 percent owned), even if he did catch one TD and have another taken away by the refs. (Update: Oops - Tomlinson's workload was affected by an ankle injury. We'll keep an eye on this one.)
• No change for Colts WR Anthony Gonzalez - the original 2-6 week timeframe still seems to be the prognosis. Before you ask, the Colts are apparently not ready to bring back Marvin Harrison.
• The same goes for Steelers S Troy Polamalu, who's still on the 3-6 week timetable. How many of you play in IDP leagues, anyway?
• If you're wondering why Cowboys RB Felix Jones was so quiet against the Bucs, he suffered a thigh bruise in the first half. Keep an eye on his practice status this week before starting him again.
• The Eagles signed QB Jeff Garcia yesterday, and they wouldn't have done so if Donovan McNabb had any realistic chance of playing this week. Despite Garcia's presence, Kevin Kolb is still in line for the Week 2 start.
• Bucs RB Earnest Graham apparently told head coach Raheem Morris not to put him in Sunday's game in the first half because Cadillac Williams was playing so well. This kind of unselfishness is unacceptable to fantasy owners, Mr. Graham.
• The Bucs also lost C Jeff Faine for at least a month with a triceps injury. I guess we'll see this week how much Faine's absence affects the team's running game.
• The Panthers are reportedly ready to sign A.J. Feeley to back up Jake Delhomme, since Josh McCown is out for the year. Try writing a sentence with three less appealing fantasy quarterbacks than that.
• The Chiefs have reportedly agreed to terms with WR Bobby Wade, who caught 107 passes over the last two seasons with the Vikings before getting cut last week. Keep an eye on Wade, who could be the Chiefs' No. 2 receiver pretty soon.
• Redskins WR Antwaan Randle-El had nine targets, seven receptions and 98 yards in Week 1, despite being No. 3 on the depth chart.
• It sounds like Titans TE Bo Scaife (knee) isn't a good bet to play this week. I'll check in Thursday or Friday with an update.
• Saints RB Pierre Thomas will probably be ready to play this week after missing Week 1 with a sprained knee. After Mike Bell's 143-yard outburst, I wouldn't start a Saints' RB until we have a better idea of how they'll be used. The Saints can't bench Bell now, right?
• Caucasian Pro Bowl WR Kevin Walter is expected to be back in action for the Texans after missing Week 1 with a pulled hamstring.
