Week #1 Recap

65 Fantasy points
During the draft there was a collective “wow” after Fore! drafted Brandon Jennings with the 20th overall 
pick. After Week #1, Fore! appears to have been the owner “in the know” on draft day. Brandon Jennings went off for 65 fantasy points. Fore!’s starters would have beat four other teams totals in Week #1. Not surprisingly, Fore! had the high total of the week with 242.0 points. DaLoot, on the other hand, started Deron Williams, who had as many fantasy points as a dead man. DaLoot definitely did not go into Week #1 hoping Deron Williams would score 30 points less than Brook Lopez on their way to losing by 21.5 points. I doubt DW would have score 15-5-2. I hate fantasy sports.
The game of the week belonged to two of the three lowest scores of the week. Rokers fought out a win vs. Captain Mo 156.5 to 149.0. The Rokers had Shaq and Captain Mo had Troy Murphy equal Ben Wallace’s dead brother’s fantasy total of ZERO.
36DD struggled to find healthy bodies only recording totals for only six players. His five starters totaled only 110 points. It is especially surprising when you consider his starters are Derrick Rose, Zach Randolph, Rudy Gay, LaMarcus Aldridge and Emeka Okafur. Those are not bad players. With any luck, they all had their bad weeks during the same weekend.
Guard Luol Deng had 33 fantasy points in Week #1.
