Week One is...well...Week One.  And as for Week Two, I don't know your scoring system.  That said, this should be what I expect in most systems.
 
Deuce McAllister vs SFO - Carter not expected to play, more fullback sets, TEs to block more.  Look what Dunn did to the SF D in Week One.  I'm definitely playin' him.  
 
Jamal Lewis vs PIT- I expect the usual out of Jamal.  He's angry now, but it's the PIT run D.  Boom or bust, in my opinion.  Not one of his stellar games.  
 
Chris Brown vs IND - Should start.  IND run D should be vulnerable and TEN could run Brown well.  Should do well if his ankle is OK, but that is the question.
 
Play Deuce, and make a decision on Jamal or Chris.  If you think Brown will be healthy, he might be in a good match-up.
 
You already know about the MIN RBs.

I'd actually take a chance with Onterrio Smith this week.  The Eagles struggle to stop the run and the Vikes will want to do some ball-control...
 
Deuce should be solid this week.  They are adjusting the offensive play-calling some to benefit him.

ESPN (John Clayton) says Brown will play this week.
 
The Steeler run D is solid against Lewis.
 
I agree with Philly, Smith looks good this week, especially in the first half.  I also agree that you should start Deuce.

As Callie suggests, I would go with Deuce and Brown this week.  Don't be surprised if Jamal "surprises", though.  Brown should keep up his end of the bargain, though, anyway.  He's a safe(r) play this week.  Good luck!

Well... Deuce was a flop.  Three carries for one yard... ouch!
 
Brown had a nice game and Smith is still primed for a good one...

Sorry for the bum advice... Deuce and Onterrio both had the good matchups and seemed to be good plays.
