With so many quarterbacks posting big numbers this season, Jason Smith wonders who are the top 12 to target?

It has been a steep fall for Vikings fans since the team’s heart-breaking loss to the Saints in NFC Championship Game two seasons ago.

Two weeks into the season, the Redskins certainly look like a team that has bought into Mike Shanahan‘s world vision.

The Redskins are hoping to move in the right direction after a dismal 2010, and Rex Grossman believes the team is primed for a run at the NFC East title.

Washington’s 28-14 win over the Giants on Sunday was notable for a few reasons, not least of which is the impressive company in which it puts Redskins coach Mike Shanahan. When it comes to winning games on the season’s opening weekend, Shanahan was already ranked among some all-time great coaches. His 14th such win moved him past one Hall of Famer (George Halas) and tied him with another (Chuck Noll).

Here are a few things that caught my attention after our first full Sunday of the season.

When the Redskins took the field for their first offensive drive of Sunday’s game against the Giants, TE Chris Cooley was back in his usual spot in the starting lineup.

Arian Foster missed a third straight practice Friday and will be a game-time decision against the Colts.

The New Orleans Saints locked up coach Sean Payton to a multiyear contract extension Monday in a move that will keep the Super Bowl winner in the Big Easy through the 2015 season. Now Payton can focus on the business of having his team ready for Thursday night’s NFL kickoff game in Green Bay… but first he will make an appearance Tuesday night on “NFL Total Access.”

Rex Grossman will be the Redskins’ starting quarterback in Week 1, according to team sources.

Veteran guard Derrick Dockery has signed a one year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, according to a league source.

Ryan Torain was reportedly in danger of losing his spot on the Redskins depth chart, which may have done damage to his fantasy value.

Kerry Collins is preparing as if he will start Week 1 for Indianapolis, which should concern Colts fans and fantasy owners alike.

Free-agent RB Clinton Portis will visit the Seahawks this week, according to league sources.

Maurice Jones-Drew will see his first preseason action this week after an eight-month rehab and it could have a big impact on the Jaguars ball distribution.
