(Can Brandon Marshall and the Broncos stay undefeated?) I’ve been saying it since week one, and the theme of this article (and this season) hasn’t changed: The NFL started with a bang in the off-season with it’s story-lines, and it hasn’t stopped.

Fantasy Risers: Julian Edelman
Eat your heart out, Wes Welker. With the Patriots usual slot-man unexpectedly inactive for Sunday’s match-up with the New York Jets, Tom Brady found himself confiding in a rookie receiver.
