The Attack is legit!
Attack of Mahomes started the season with a bang, with five players
scoring in double figures, led by the man himself, Patrick Mahomes, with an
astounding 5 TD/360 yard performance to lead all scorers in Week 1 with 37 points! In the end, Timmy finished with 116 points to
take the Week 1 Weekly High Score prize!
Well done Tim-Tim!
So here’s a question – Does winning the Week 1 Weekly
High Score prize lead to season success?
From 2007-2021 the Week 1 WHS has finished the season 1st on
2 occasions, and has finished in last place only once, and that was way back in
2007. In fact, the average finish for
the Week 1 high scorer is 3.7, so a top four finish.
Of the 15 years, the worst finishes for the Week 1 WHS are 10th,
9th and 6th.
Weirdly, all three of those belong to James. If you take those out and average the rest,
it is an average finish of 2.5, so getting into the top 3. Timmy was the 2019 Week 1 High Score and went
on to finish 3rd that season.
It so good to be back to football! Let’s do this!
BIG TIME BALLIN’
- Patrick Mahomes, QB – Attack of Mahomes – 37 pts – Mahomes was his usual unstoppable self as he sliced up the Cardinals defense.
- Justin Jefferson, WR – Big Sack No TD’s – 33 pts – Good way to start the season with 184 yards and 2 TDs.
- Saquon Barkley, RB – Young Guns – 30 pts – Barkley had an impressive average of 9.1 yards per carry, picking up 164 rushing yards on only 18 carries. Plus he added a TD and 30 yards receiving.
- Josh Allen, QB – Scottish Rebels – 30 pts – Allen tossed 2 TD’s and had a rushing TD to go along with 297 yards passing and 56 yards rushing. But he did have two interceptions.
COME ON MAN
- Cam Akers, RB – Wyld Ass Monkeys – 0 pts – He did play, but barely. He finished with 3 carries for 0 yards, and zero hope.
- George Kittle, TE – American BadAss – 0 pts – Pregame scratch, yet still in the starting lineup…
- Mike Williams, WR – Train Wreck – 1 pt – Herbert threw to 9 different receivers, so Williams only had 2 catches for 10 yards. Oof.
- Matt Prater, K – Train Wreck – 1 pt – All Prater got was one extra point.
- Green Bay, DEF – Coors Light Drunk Guys – 1 pt – The Packers defense only point came from a single QB sack recorded.
- Tony Pollard, RB – Big Sack No TDs – 1 pt – The dude touched the ball 8 times (6 rushes, 2 catches), and netted a total of 22 yards. (8 rushing, 14 receiving).
- Nick Folk, K – Joe’s Pats – 1 pt – Oh to go back to the good ol’ days when a Patriots kicker was good for at least 2-3 field goals and 2-3 extra points per game. Now you’ve got this guy, putting up 1 lousy extra point. For the whole game.
- Dawson Knox, TE – Young Guns – 0 pts – With the Bills wide receivers not being covered, the tight ends didn’t really get a lot of chances. Knox finished with 1 catch (from 2 targets) for only 5 yards.

BEST BENCH
The team who takes home the first Best Bench of the
season has not fared nearly as well as the first Weekly High Score winner. Over the last 7 seasons, the first Best Bench
team has finished no better than 3rd, and has an average finish of
6.8. Trying to buck the trend this
season, and with a very solid 36-point-improvement-possibility, the Week 1 2022
Best Bench goes to… Wyld Ass Monkeys!!
Poot needed only 3 roster moves to get there: J. Robinson for C. Akers +18, M. Thomas for
C. Sutton +10 and D. Duvernay for T. Hill +8.
Get those waivers in and get ready for Week 2!!
