First week surprises - real or aberration?

Vick, Travis Henry and others have exploded in the first week while Owens, Garcia and others have impoded.
Pick a single surprise and and tell either why it will continue throughout the season or was a one-game aberration. I'll give it the first shot.
Rod Gardner, WR Washington Redskins
7 rec. 131 yds 1 TD
The Redskins passing offense faces one of the easiest schedules this year, making this game against the weak Cardinals the rule rather than the exception. There are 3 or 4 good WR on the team, and one stud in the making, Rod Gardner. He will continue to punish defenses all season.

He had like 9 catches for 150+ yards and 2 TDs!!! I think he just matched his last years totals in week 1!!! The biggest question, will he keep doing it? |

Quincy Morgan was the biggest surpise of the week on offense. Yes, I think he will keep it going in the long run, in the sense that I think he is being groomed to be the real #1 in that offense. How things will go for him for the rest of this year with Couch's condition... remains to be seen. He's definitely a keeper, but I wouldn't count on him as a week-in-week-out starter [ijust yet, and this is coming from a guy who picked him in free-agency this week  (by the way, we don't have a bullshit race to the clicker pick-up process... lineups must be submitted by the kickoff of the first game(s) of the week... first to worst for two rounds... to see what I mean click here... I would recommend conducting free-agency this way to all).
BIG SURPRISE, but, honestly, it wasn't to Steggie here, was the Broncos Run-D and "D" overall. Now here is a Week 1 occurrence that will become a regular re-occurrence, particularly when they play in the Mile High city. When they are at home, I don't think there will be any better play in the league. When they are away..., we'll have to see. They will get a good test in San Francisco next week against a unit that struggled in Week 1 against a "D" that should be somewhat on the "D"-cline. It will be interesting to see how Denver fairs against them in an away game. But, at HOME, bank on it! They are  ! Ray Rhodes is starting to work his magic!  All that said, Mr. Genius here, who even made a low-scoring prediction for the Broncos-Rams game, went against his gut and played "matchup" D, which is a dangerous practice, and went with the Bengals.  Fuck!  Those suckers cost me one of my two games this week in the GBRFL!
By the way, great thread idea, bgsgfan!  Let's try to make a thread of this type a regular occurrence around here. I am trying to establish some trademarks for "the Gridiron"! This one is all yours to deal with, my friend! Thanks!

Sounds good, and thanks for the thanx
Robert Edwards - easy to dismiss this as an aberration, right! Well, maybe not. Edwards will be a solid producer as a third down back and is a great backup. Ricky Williams has had nagging injury problems in the past. Definitely a good guy to have on your bench as he will produce in this offense if RW goes down and will give you some points every week in deep leagues.

Thanks for dropping the ball, Steggie. I could use all the wins I can in the GBRFL. HOwever, you could have played any D this week and still lost to me, no matter how many TDs Priest had.
My surprise week one was AMANI TOOMER. I played him on a hunch and he stepped up big. The Giants offense may be more open this year and Toomer and Tiki will benefit at least with yards.

That qualify as a surprise now?
