The opening day of the new NFL season is one of the best of the year.
One of the most enjoyable moments of the day's experience is the weekly monitoring of your football team. Remember it was a "Sunday that counted" for 252 days. He looks to Alvin Kamara, the fourth best player of the season in 2017, scoring the first touchdown of the day en route to a monstrous 43.1 points in PPR. He kisses James Conner, the new star of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who beat the Cleveland Browns defense for 34.2 points. We celebrate the fact that you were one of the lucky few to have started Ryan Fitzpatrick, who scored 42.3 career points against a tough defensive of the New Orleans Saints.
He follows all these things as they progress.
All this happened during week 1, and as we will do here every week, we will show you the best, worst, most historic, and weirdest performances. They are divided into two groups: the "winners", the best of the week in a fantastic perspective, and the "losers", usually related to the ADP (average position), the starting rate in the ESPN leagues or to fantasy. Injury performance is generally excluded and any applicable game or historical data is included.
Come back after the conclusion of 13 hours. ET, 4 pm ET and, if applicable, the Sunday Night Football games for our best choices of the week.
winners
Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints: If you spent your first round pick on Kamara, you were certainly satisfied with the entirety of his Sunday match, even though fans of his NFL team did not. In addition to scoring the first touchdown of the day, Kamara added a second touchdown in the fourth quarter, as well as a two-point lead conversion (at a time when his team lost 24 points) and a touchdown. attacking (16). the game with a score of 43.1 points in PPR, a career high, which led to all the halves in the first games. As was his first rookie in 2017, Kamara did most of his work as a receiver, capturing nine out of 12 targets – the two best of his position at 1pm. ET Games – for 112 yards. Kamara may not reach such a total of points in the same way in the next games – the Saints will probably not play catch-up on such a big deficit every week – but there's no denying its potential to win the week.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jameis Winston fills three weeks – or could it be longer than that? – found themselves on lists in only 1.15% of ESPN leagues and in only 0.47% of the starting lineups, so if you are part of this group, applaud yourself for the bold call! He led every quarter at 1pm. ET Games with 42.3 points PPR fantasy, the second best performance in a match of his career, giving him a performance of more than 30 points for three different teams (39.3 at Week 13 of Houston Texans; in the 15th week of 2013 for the Tennessee Titans). However, Fitzpatrick will probably not win much should he, considering that he will face the Philadelphia Eagles defense.
Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons: How do the Falcons explain that Jones are out of the lineup in their fourth game of the goal line in the first run? Better yet, how to explain the inexplicable problem of Matt Ryan so that football enters the hands of Jones in the red zone, better encapsulated by this nugget of ESPN Stats & Information: In counting the playoffs, Ryan aims 1 to 20 zone in the last two seasons. In the field game, Jones may not have been called a "winner" – his time-saving ability was judged out of bounds – but in fancy, Jones earned a Thursday night win of 28. PPR points. The volume had a lot to do with that, since it was the 14th time in 96 career regular season games that he caught up to 10 assists and his 19 targets dropped to 1. of his personal best (20, week 3 of 2015). Jones' total fantasy score also fell just 5.1 points below the wide receiver record in NFL Kickoff's 17 games.
Michael Thomas, WR, New Orleans Saints: Recipient No. 6 of the PPR score in 2017 had an excellent start to the season in 2018, scoring 38 points, which led all receivers early in the game. Although it is widely regarded as a WR1 – and should be – Thomas's strength up until now has been his weekly consistency. It was the 11th consecutive regular season game in which he scored more than 10 points, the longest run of all receivers, and was the second most consistent player in the position in 2017.
losers
Nick Foles, QB, Eagles: As expected, Thursday night, he could not repeat the magic that he showed at the Super Bowl LI, when he scored 24.92 fantastic points in PPR. He was much more like the regular smuggler we saw at Week 16 last season (8.52) or the NFC Division playoff game (9.64). Foles was not a very committed player, only competing in 7.5% of the ESPN championships Thursday night, but that means some were lucky enough to use it, probably more in the two or three leagues quarters. His 5.1 point performance continued what has been a more recent trend of mostly forgettable games as an NFL starter; In his last 16 games (including playoffs), he has accumulated only 10.7 points on average. The folks will still start until the Eagles consider that Carson Wentz (knee) is ready, which could happen in a matter of days or weeks. If Wentz is wiped out during weeks 2 and / or 3, the Foles will have at least two outstanding matches with which they can bounce (@TB, IND), making it a stronger streaming choice than Thursday.
Saints defense / special teams: The great day of Fitzpatrick came at the expense of the Saints, as their defense was conducted for a total of 48 points and 529 total yards in a frustrated defeat that probably cost the lives of many people. Eliminator Challenge (28%) Week 1. In fantastic terms, the Saints scored 9 minus, their worst score in franchise history, and dropped the many players who launched it (68 , 3% of ESPN leagues). STs). In the Saints' defense (sorry the pun), they also posted mediocre totals in the first weeks of 2017, getting less -5 in the first week (@MIN) and minus-2 in the second week (BORN). These games were much more difficult than this one, so it would be understandable that fantasy officials are reluctant to launch them in the second week against the Browns.
