FANTASY FOOTBALL SURPRISES AND DISAPPOINTMENTS – WEEK 1
By: John Falabella
SURPRISES
Elijah Mitchell – Trey Sermon was a healthy scratch and Eli Mitchell put on a show by gaining over 100 yards. Raheem Mostert is out for the season so he may be in line for more carries. Hasty and Sermon could have other ideas about that.
Teddy Bridgewater – In his first game with the Broncos Bridgewater put up excellent numbers while losing one of his top receivers in Jerry Jeudy. He is a solid quarterback but, don’t be fooled, he is just a game manager… a winning caliber game manager.
Mark Ingram – 26 carries, only 85 yards, but 26 carries. That is a surprise for sure as he only had 72 carries all of last season.
DISAPPOINTMENTS
Aaron Rodgers – Yes, Aaron Rodgers was a disappointment in week one but let’s chalk that up to a lack of preseason. He should be better moving forward.
Ezekiel Elliott – Elliott was on the field a lot but Tony Pollard out produced him in week one.
Aaron Jones – 9 Yards? That’s it?
Derrick Henry – Ran for 58 yards on 17 carries in week one. Last season he only had three games that he ran for less than 75 while on his way to a 2000 yard season. The Titans looked like they lacked an identity in week one.
