Very solid start from all, with Pitts and Lamb the only players in single figures. A few 50-50 decisions I ended on the wrong side of in Pitts over Ertz and Sutton over Thomas but nothing too large yet. Without double checking, this could be the first season I have started without Mahomes and he reminded me how foolish the decision was.
As for trades, C Lamb sits at the top of the list for trade out candidates but have yet to have an in depth look at replacements.

Out: C Lamb
In: M Thomas
Allows the opportunity for Robinson to be downgraded to a rookie ( if he puts in another poor showing) and the ability to upgrade either Pitts to Andrews or Sutton to Chase, etc, as well as boosting elsewhere to chase breakevens, etc.

First game of wk.02 and we get a perfect example of why many reactions to wk.01 can be premature.
E.G. M Williams
in wk.01 he had only 4 targets for 2 receipts, 10yds and 0 x TDs. RDT score: 4
in wk.02 he has 9 targets for 8 receipts, 113yds and 1 x TD - and that's inside three qtrs. RDT score: 42
E.G. C Edwards-Helaire
in wk.01 he had 7 carries for 42yds; 3 targets, 3 receipts, 32yds and 2 xTDs; RDT score: 41
in wk.02 he has 6 carries 19yds; 3 targets. 3 receipts, 31yds and 0 x TDs - so far. RDT score: 12
The point being: I would expect both to revert to their historical averages.
M Williams was barely involved in wk.01 but as he averaged 8 targets per game last year you'd expect wk.01 to be an outlier
C Edwards-Helaire averaged 11.9 carries and 2.3 targets per game in 2021. More involvement, overall, than in wk.01. The difference was his 2 x TDs. Last year he had 6 x TDs in total: 4 rushing and 2 receiving. He may have had a change of role leading to more red zone work but one week isn't sufficient evidence.
