I currently own the Raiders, but they were killed by the Lions in Week 1. Should I stick to them in Week 2 or go with one of Indianapolis Colts or the Buffalo Bills? Other options include Tampa, Tennesse or Atlanta.
Thanks.

I think your best bet is the Colts. They are going against the Titans and they can not match up against the Colts offense overall.
The Bills are going against the Steelers. Ben Roethlesberger is red hot, and they running the ball good too. Pittsburgh put 4 passing touchdown last week, and Willie Parker rushed for 103 yards.
The Raiders are a bad choice, no comment needed.

I'm a Colts fan. I wouldn't take Tennessee this weekend. They are playing the Colts. That's not a good way to start off defensive stats, against probably the #1 offense.
As far as defense, I'd pick Indy. Yes they were bad during the regular season last year, but there was a reason why. Over half of their team was out injured for most of the regular season last year starting with game 1 last year. Many times Indy was using 2nd and 3rd string people and sometimes even a 4th string from another position to fill in. This year they return with almost everybody healthy.
If you don't think there will be a difference on Indy's defense this year, look at what they did to New Orleans. They held one of the top offenses to not even a single offensive touchdown. And as far as rushing defense, which was their weak spot last year, they held Reggie Bush and the other New Orleans running back to only 38 yards total.
Not bad I'd say. I don't know much about the other defenses, but Indy's is looking good this year. And if you think about Indy in the year before last, they had the top defense as far as forcing fumbles and interceptions and sacks. In my mind, the main reason for their bad performance last year was injuries.

You can stick with the Raiders even though they didn't fare well against the Lions. I think that since the Bills did a great job defensively with Denver they may have mapped out the defense for the Raiders. The Colts can take over this week since they stopped Reggie Bush and Brees.

I believe the Colts play the Titans this week. If that is true go with the Colts. Defenses usually never amount to many fantasy points anyway and both of these teams usually play each other tough. I don't expect much out of Tennessee's offense this week. No way Brown goes for another 175 yards.

Don't stick with the Raiders, they play the Broncos in week 2, and I predict a blowout by the Broncos. With the Broncos continuously good rushing game and their talented receiving corps, the Raiders are going to get pummeled. Colts did surprisingly well in week 1, maybe you should go with them.
Of course the Bills did keep the Broncos out of the end zone last week in Buffalo, even though they got a lot of yardage gained on them, it's up to you.
