Week 1 Summary / Week 2 Preview

Fantasy Football Week 1 is officially in the books and this week brought much excitement (as well as disappointment) for the starters of each team.  

As of the end of Week 1, these are the current Standings:

Faith had the highest total number of points with a whopping 167.3 points!

While many players outperformed their projections, many players fell way short of their total projected points (looking at you Kareem Hunt, Travis Kelce, Jimmy Graham, and Evan Engram).  

For Uncle D, his first round pick Le'veon Bell did not even play this week, and as of writing has still not even signed his contract!

There was a good amount of lighthearted smack talk during the weekend, and many outcomes were decided by the Monday night match-ups. 

As a league note, I am going to start a new group text to include everyone in the league (because Faith and I were not in last week's group text).

The Week 2 Lineups are:

As made evident last week, the projections do not really mean much but keep an eye out if you have any possibly injured players.

I'm sure many of you will be adjusting your lineups this week as I noticed many of your bench players outperformed your starters (refer to top image 😉)
