Will opening week stars maintain fantasy success?

These three players broke out in opening week, and all three have a shot to double-down in Week 2...

QB Jake Locker (TEN) -- Not only is Locker coming off a terrific preseason and a great Week 1, but the matchup ahead is as good as it gets. The Titans face the Cowboys, a defense that's bad at all levels, in all phases. Tennessee's receiving corps is clearly legit, led by Justin Hunter and Kendall Wright. It should surprise no one if Locker again finishes as a top-8 fantasy QB.

WR Kelvin Benjamin (CAR) -- If you like No. 1 receivers with ridiculous size and uncommon wingspans, then you're gonna love Benjamin. He's clearly at the top of the receiving hierarchy for Carolina, a tremendous red zone weapon who could easily finish with double-digit TDs. Drops have been an issue for him in the past, but, at 6-foot-5, he'll be a threat to find the end zone each week. Park him in a WR or Flex spot and enjoy the returns.

RB Knowshon Moreno (MIA) -- Knowshon's 134-yard performance in Week 1 wasn't necessarily expected, but it's not crazy to think he can repeat against Buffalo. The Bills' run defense allowed 128.9 yards per game and 4.4 per carry last season. Start Moreno with confidence in Week 2.
