Thursday Night Overview/Week 1 Awards

I'm going to combine both as last night fantasy wise was a pretty boring game. Only 3 teams had players going. Kenny get a mediocre performance from Kenbrell Thompkins. He only had 5 points but it shouldn't be that big of a deal considering he's Kenny's flex play. I'm sure Eugene will take 13.5 points from Julian Edelman but it's gotta be a tad disappointing that Edelman caught 13 balls for just 78 yards. It's Ryan though that suffered the worst fate of the night. If I can take a mulligan on my pick I would, because I think Leland's in the driver's seat of this matchup now. Ryan only got 15 points combined from Tom Brady and Stevan Ridley. Just not good at all from your starting QB and RB #2. Brady is really suffering with a lack of weapons and it's showing as that's two straight average games. Maybe if Gronk comes back things will change.

Sooooo..Week 1 Award. For the two new players in our league, I give out up to 4 awards per week to the players/teams who deserve them. The awards are as follows

Wane McGarity Stud of the Week-Best fantasy football performance of the week.
Michael Wiley Dud of the Week-Worst Fantasy football performance of the week by an elite player.
Drew Bennett Sneaky Surprise Award-Awarded to the player who was a sleeper/surprise start that paid off.
Tony Romo Bad Decision Award-Awarded to the team who makes a questionable roster movie.

There might not be a Drew Bennett or Tony Romo award given every week. In fact, this week there is none for either. So here are the week 1 award winners

Wane McGarity Stud of the Week

Peyton Manning (Channel 4 News Team)

 

Yeah, this was a no brainer. No one was touching that 7 TD performance last Thursday night.
