There's no shame in being a bandwagon jumper. Not in the Gridiron Challenge, at least.

Hopping on for the ride is advised, in fact. Just ask Tom Brady owners from a year ago. They locked in the record-setting quarterback at a bargain price -- comparatively speaking, of course -- and sat back as he rolled in the points.

So then, with Brady on the shelf, which player might have the best bandwagon to jump on this season? Through two weeks, I definitely like what I'm seeing from these three teams/players/units:

Denver Broncos passing game: In case you missed the bulletin, the Broncos are a passing team now. Through two games, they're on pace for 600 pass attempts, which would be their most in 14 seasons. Jay Cutler is on pace for 592 of those, and if you don't think that's a lot, well, consider that the great John Elway only once in his career exceeded that number, with 605 passes in 1985, and in no other season got within 41 passes of that mark. Even without Brandon Marshall around in Week 1, Eddie Royal stepped up with one of the most impressive games I've seen from a rookie in some time. Then Marshall returned and put up monstrous numbers against a supposed-to-be-elite pass defense in Week 2 -- and Royal remained productive. And I haven't even mentioned Tony Scheffler, whose pass-catching skills are about as underappreciated as any tight end's in football. To say this team can keep up its torrid passing pace the entire year might be asking a lot … but I sure think it'll stick close. … MORE
