NFL Sunday Week 1:

Sunday Heroes

QB,Tua Tagovailoa (Dolphins) - The Dolphins quarterback seemed to put to rest any doubts about his ability to lead this offense and be The Guy. On opening Sunday, Tua threw for an incredible 466 yards and tossed three touchdowns to lead the Phins to a come-from-behind week one road win. Tua completed 28 of 45 passes (62.2% completion) and posted a 110.5 passer rating, finishing as the number fantasy Quarterback in week 1.

RB, Aaron Jones (Packers) - The Packers running back finished opening Sunday as the number one fantasy running back, totaling 127 yards (41 rush, 86 rec) of offense. He added (2) receptions on (4) targets and two touchdowns (1 run, 1 catch) on the day with an incredible average of 11.5 yards gained per touch.

WR, Tyreek Hill (Dolphins) - Cheetah showed everyone on Sunday, why he’s one of the best receivers in today’s game. The Phins receiver posted Madden-like numbers versus the Chargers, catching 11 passes, for 215 yards receiving, and two receiving touchdowns. Hill was Mr.Fantasy on Sunday, posting 44.5 fantasy points (ppr format) to lead all of fantasy.

TE, Hunter Henry (Patriots) - In case some forgot, the Patriots tightend Hunter Henry is still a very good pass-catching tight end. Henry was targeted six times, hauling in 5 balls for 56 yards receiving, and a score to lead all tight ends (ppr format).

IDP, TJ Watt (Steelers) - The Steelers linebacker, TJ Watt wrecked havoc on Sunday causing commotion and destruction to the Niners backfield. Despite the losing effort by the Steelers, Watt left it all out on the field yesterday, turning in three sacks, 5 solo tackles, 2 forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one pass-defense. He led all IDPs in scoring.

That's my take!
