Sunday's Fantasy Headlines: Week 1
These are my Fantasy headlines (takeaways) from Sunday, Week 1 of the NFL.
Sunday’s Headlines Week 1;
Gibbs Gets Going, Leads Lions…the number one fantasy draft selection does not disappoint with 156 yards rushing and two touchdowns. He also added 5 receptions for another 30 yards.
King Henry Reigns Supreme with Trifecta…the old man Henry is not close to being finished. In his 11th season, Henry was spectacular on the opening Sunday with 144 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Fathertime better pack a lunch, because Henry is awesome.
Montgomery Turns in Hat-Trick in Loss…with a new team, the former Lions was a shining star in the Texans backfield lead role, rambling his way to 79 scrimmage yards and three scores.
Caleb and Company Crush Panthers…the Bears running game was electric, lead by quarterback Caleb Williams who contributed 65 yards of his own with two scores, while tossing two more. Can you say QB1 stud.
Lawrence and Jags too Much for Browns…Trevor “Sunshine” Lawrence was precise and deadly, completing 78.3% of his passes while tossing 4 touchdown passes. Lawrence remembered the Titans on Sunday, playing like one.
Too Many Mistakes Cost Mayfield and Bucs..quarterback Baker Mayfield battled on Sunday, but his three fumbles proved costly in the game and for fantasy owners. Mayfield finished the day as fantasy QB26.
Rodgers and Steelers Hang On Against Falcons…Rodgers and Steelers offense was less than spectacular, but enough to outpace the hapless Falcons. 279 yards of offense for the Steel city, it’s going to be hard to find consistent fantasy resources from this unit.
Geno and the Jets Soar in Week 1…the Jets quarterback played a clean game, but it was Breece Hall and the running game that did the damage rushing for over 100 yards with a touchdown. And it was the Titans.
McDaniel Magic Fizzles at SoFi…not what we expected from a McDaniel offense with Justin Herbert at the helm. Just 290 yards of offense and two scores, a far cry from what we’d expect. It’s not time to panic, but very concerning to see this at home against the Cardinals.
Hurts does enough to finish off Commanders…the Eagles passer only needed 25 passing attempts to pass for 203 yards and throw three scores. He continues to be a QB1 fantasy play.
Vikings D Revives the Purple People Eaters…in a game where it looked like it was slipping away, the Vikings defense turned up the heat in the 4th quarter, forcing two turnovers late and turning in 4 sacks to lead a 22-point explosion. A Brian Flores led defense is a weekly startable DST.
Jeanty Ankle Fine, Finishes Fins in Vegas…Ashton Jeanty proved that there was never anything to worry about because he is part Cyborg, totaling 147 scrimmage yards with 6 catches and two receiving touchdowns.
Action Jaxson finds Likely often…this is one note to catalog for future reference. Jaxson Dart found his tight end Isaiah Likely at the best times throughout the night and we should expect to see more of this going forward. Likely was terrific catching 8 of 8 passes for 78 yards receiving and two scores.
Week One, Fantasy Football Player of the Week!
Bills Quarterback, Josh Allen
334 yards passing, two touchdown passes, Two rushing touchdowns.
That's My Take
