To the recaps!
Utah Falco rolls over Team Provost, 136.5-103.5
If you'd have told me the highest scoring player for UF would be Christian McCaffrey, I'd have believed it. If you told me Team Provost's highest scorers would be Marlon Mack and Mark Andrews, I'd have said you were nuts. But here we are.
Hamilton Rod And Gun blasts Hooked on a Thielen, 173.5-111.5
After earning a mediocre draft grade, HRG handed the Commish a nice plate to crow to eat. His team put up the highest Week 1 score in league history, thanks to touchdowns from everyone in his lineup, save for JuJu and Stephen Gostkowski. Hooked on a Thielen had a pretty good week, but just happened to run up against a buzz saw. Of course, it's harder when your team's namesake catches 3 of the Vikings' 10 passes in an entire game. Hooked is hoping that doesn't continue.
Iron Ryan goes hard, breaks Pedro Pickles, 130.5-125.5
Sammy freakin' Watkins. While he's not going to do THAT most weeks, he's going to be more than useful for Pickles. Unfortunately, Pickles firepower wasn't enough to beat Iron Ryan. Lev Bell, Dak and the Titans D carried him to victory this week. We'll see if the 34 that Dak put up can be replicated against a team that actually plays defense (unlike the Giants).

Hardcore Sacks drops Released Dix On Boobies, 136-104
I'm gonna be honest: I didn't think Josh Jacobs was going to do THAT against the Broncos. Though it's not hard to believe, since the Raiders don't have much in the way of talent. Austin Ekeler also had a big week for Hardcore. Boobies (heh) was kind of up and down, getting a good week out of Dalvin Cook (partly because his team didn't throw the ball, like, at all, and partly because he's a good player) and medium days the rest of the way around.
Death Valley Driver slips by The Jeff Fisher Effect, 101-97
When the person writing the notes is the person affected by the ending of that Texans-Saints game, it's easy to pay close attention. Deshaun Watson and Drew Brees put on a show at the end of the first Monday night game this week, with Watson doing just a little more than Brees at just the right time. The four points that separated DVD and JFE this week were basically earned in the last 37 seconds of that Monday night game. It was riveting to watch.
Shake Your Money Maker
Hamilton Rod and Gun is our Tidwell winner this week, posting the league's highest ever Week 1 score (previous high was 166.5).
There's some new stuff I'll be tracking this year in our league history documents. First, as we discussed at the draft, I'll be tracking each team's "best ball" score using only the drafted players. As an added best ball bonus, I also plan to track best ball scores weekly, based on who is on your roster. And ideally, I'll run a percentage from that to see who played the highest percentage of their best players every week.
I'll post links to the League History, the 2019 stats sheet and the best ball tracking sheet in a subsequent post once they are completely updated.
On to week 2, where your commish is going to do his best to avoid an 0-2 start from his terrible assembly of talent.
