What a BORING game last night's Texans/Bengals was. 1 TD the whole game and it came from DeShaun Watson who's not even on a fantasy roster in our league. Only Dad and Leland had guys go last night, but they each had two apiece and to tell you the truth..it wasn't great. For the 2nd straight game, Andy Dalton was terrible, which meant...A.J. Green did nothing of note. He was yet again held to under 10 fantasy points, and with David Johnson out, A.J. Green becomes Leland's #1 guy and that's just not going to cut it. Also Lamar Miller somehow got 10.2 points, but he looked like crap doing it. Again, Miller now has to step up as Leland's #1 RB and I just have zero confidence in the guy all of sudden becoming an elite RB. These 10-15 points are probably going to be his norm, especially if the Texans decide to give De'onta Foreman more run as the season goes. For Dad it wasn't much better. He was already an underdog against Albert, but getting 10.80 from DeAndre Hopkins and 5.7 from Tyler Eifert isn't a great start at all. Eifert had a TD called back because he stepped out of bounds then proceeded to surprise surprise get hurt. With his injury and Andy Dalton sucking, it's hard to see the upside in using him. DeAndre Hopkins continues to get the targets (another 13 this week) but still since Watson doesn't exactly air it out, he finished with a modest 7 catches for 73 yards. It's going to hard for Hopkins to have blow up games without TD's. Next week's Thursday Night Game doesn't look any better (Rams/49ers). Onto the Week 1 Awards
Wane McGarity Stud Of The Week
Antonio Brown (Easy Beasley)
Honorable mention goes to Stefon Diggs, but Albert would've easily beaten Mike without his 24 points. Kenny had to start the season without Jay Ajayi and Jarvis Landry and was an underdog going in against Eugene. Antonio Brown was a big reason why Kenny won. A whopping 11 catches for 182 yards, in other words, just another day at the office for Antonio Brown. This dude is unreal. He's the reason Kenny came back to the league and now he reaps the benefits.
Michael Wiley Dud Of The Week
Le'Veon Bell (SCLSU MudDogs)
Chalk it up to rust, but this was Le'Veon Bell's worst game of his career. 47 total yards against the CLEVELAND BROWNS. Horrible. There's no way he repeats this kind of performance, but there's no doubt he deserves this Week 1 Award as Alex's team as a whole couldn't even muster up 50 points.
Jay Cutler Bad Decision Award
Mike plays Rob Kelley over Kareem Hunt
Luckily it didn't effect the outcome of the game, but this was a huge blunder on Mike's part. Yes there was some understandable concerns using him, but when you use a 2nd round pick on someone, you gotta play him Week 1..otherwise..why draft him? Hunt put up the best rookie running back game in NFL History and the guy who Mike replaced him with, Rob Kelley? 3 points..a 40.10 point difference between the two. Needless to say that will be the last time Hunt is on Mike's bench.
No Drew Bennett Sneaky Surprise Award this week
