Well as everyone knows Week 1 just ended and for some fantasy football owners it was a great week and for others…..well I’m sure they’d like to forget about Week 1. As for me, my fantasy football teams went 5-2; not bad for a first week.
WEEK 1 RECAP
So what all happened in Week 1? Well here are the highs and lows for Week 1 in Fantasy Football:
WEEK 1 HIGHS
- Drew Brees threw six touchdown passes against Detroit.
- Adrian Peterson rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns. (Note: AP gets Detroit next week.)
- The Eagles defense helped fantasy football owners take home a victory.
- Tony Romo is still a fantasy star even without Terrell Owens.
- We saw the second reincarnation of Cadillac Williams against the Cowboys.
- Ravens QB Flacco lit up the Chiefs DEF with 307 passing yards with 3 TDs.
- Steelers QB Roethlisberger lit up the Tennessee DEF with 363 passing yards.
- WRs Jennings, Wayne and Holmes didn’t let their fantasy football owners down with their great games.
WEEK 1 LOWS
- Top RBs Matt Forte, Steven Jackson, Chris Johnson, Clinton Portis, Steve Slaton and Michael Turner failed to produce for their fantasy football owners.
- QBs Jake Delhomme, Jay Cutler & Kyle Orton did not perform that well at all for their owners.
- Eagles QB Donovan McNabb suffered a fractured rib against the Panthers.
- Cardinals QB Kurt Warner looked very old against the Niners.
- Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson was in and out during the second half with a sprained ankle.
- Colts WR Anthony Gonzalez will miss several weeks with an injured knee.
- Chicago LB Brian Urlacher is done for the season with a dislocated wrist. Bears also lost LB Pisa Tinoisamoa as he sprained his right PCL against the Packers.
- Steelers S Troy Polamalu sprained his left MCL against the Titans.
- Sleeper pick Giants WR Hakeem Nicks suffered a sprained left foot against the Redskins. The Giants also lost sleeper RB pick Danny Ware as he left the game with a dislocated elbow injury. Both should only be out a few weeks.
WAIVER WIRE PICKUPS
