Week 1 had a couple surprises for Ol’ Lucky Lester. I thought for sure, Larry Johnson and Randy Moss were set for big weeks, and although Larry didn’t put up a goose egg, (140+ combined yards) Randy couldn’t get much going in Oakland. As for my best starting team I could muster, here’s how they turned out….
Carson Palmer put skid marks in his panties with a 123 yard 1 fumble performance for 3 Fantasy Points… Icky!
Larry had 140+ yards, for 14 fantasy points, and although it wasn’t as much as I had hoped, I’ll take it.
LaDainian came out of the gates on fire, slowed down for a bit, but ended the game with 131 rushing yards, 18 receiving yards, and 1 TD for 20 fantasy points. Just over his average
Anquan Boldin had 4 catches for 62 yards and a TD…. 12 fantasy points in my league.
Randy Moss had 40 yards, which out numbered any player on his team with 4 fantasy points.
Antonio Gates had 20+ yards and a touchdown for 8 fantasy points.
Jeff Wilkins was a baller, kicking 6 field goals on way to becoming this years’ top fantasy kicker in the league. Can you say 21 fantasy points in my league? Championship!
The Bears scored 26 points in my fantasy league, second only to the Chargers and the Ravens.
Total Score: 108 – Next week better be better be better be….!
As for my sleepers…
Frank Gore straight blew up the show, 87 rushing yards, 83 receiving yards, and 2 rushing scores. He’s the freaking man. He had 26 fantasy points.
Matt Jones had a nice game for the Jaguars.
The Eagles had a nice game, 5 sacks and gave up only 10 points to Houston.
Ben Watson had 50 yards, but dropped a couple passes that could have made him a very nice option. Still 50 yards for a TE wasn’t bad.
Rivers, Droughns, and Burleson were poor options. What can ya do?
My wussies came through in fine fashion…
Actually Julius Jones had a nice fantasy game and Hines Ward had 50 yards and a touchdown for 11 points, so he didn’t do too bad either.
As for Brett…. YIKES! And Joey Galloway didn’t record a catch in the entire game against Baltimore, so thank me for telling you not to start him!
Check out next weeks fantasy studs and sleepers later in the WEEK!
