OH HENRY!
   Derrick Henry rumbled to 156 yards and a TD on 23 carries to help
SHNEEFALONGORIA take the FANTASY PLAYOFF POOL opening week.  The
Pool's week one 'Sharps' had a good showing in the top 5.  The last two
opening week winners Gonzales and Schafler finished 5th and 4th
respectively.  Runner-up Jim Billelo has twice taken the opening week (2008
& 2005).  
   Breaking down the roster for Vince Tancora's
SHEEFALONGORIA:
SHEEFALONGORIA had six players with at least 17 fantasy points. He had
Henry, the top scoring player and top rusher on opening weekend.   He had
Robert Woods, 9 catches for 142 yards.  Woods had the most week 1
receiving yards. Top scoring WR Julio Jones matched Woods for most
catches with 9 and had 94 yards receiving and a TD.  Top tight end Greg
Olsen had 8 catches for 107 yards and a TD.  The other two players to reach
17 fantasy points were QB Alex Smith, 264 passing yards and 2 TD passes and
kicker Matt Bryant, who nailed 4 FGs, including two from 50+.  
SHEEFALONGORIA's most expensive player, rookie RB Alvin Kamara, had
only 10 fantasy points.  He did score one of SHEEFALONGORIA's 4
touchdowns.

POOL NOTES:
The three most selected running backs were rookies: Kamara, Fournette and Hunt.

Christian McCaffrey's father Ed was a WR in the first FANTASY PLAYOFF POOL.

Sam Ficken, L.A.'s kicker was taken on 271 rosters.

Marcus Mariota completed a touchdown pass to himself earning 10 points.  He was the
highest scoring QB for the week, but was only on 12 rosters.
Buffalo v Jacksonville-
This game was ugly as Bortles was awful.  He couldn't connect on his passes and
wound up running for more yards (88) than he passed for (87).

Neither team's top salaried WR scored a fantasy point.

The game's only TD was scored by a guy named Koyack, who wasn't in the pool
Down 21-3, the Titans had the best
playoff comeback for a team on the road
in the Super Bowl era.

Travis Kelce, the Pool's most selected
TE (120 rosters), was knocked out with a
concussion.  This caused K.C.'s offense
to stall.

Alex Smith (109 teams) was the 2nd most
selected QB in the pool.
The Saints rolled and at 14.7% they had the most Playoff Pool
selections.  Drew Brees was easily the most selected QB (167 teams).  
Who could be happier about the fast start by the Saints than
arowe? He
selected Brees on all 28 of his entries.

Ted Ginn, the Pool's 2nd most popular WR (117 rosters), scored 14
fantasy points on one play as he caught an 80-yard TD against his
former team.

Last year's Pool MVP, Matt Ryan, escaped the Wild Card
round and the Falcons travel to Philadelphia as road
favorites.

Julio Jones (9-94-1) was the week's top WR and was on the
week one winner's roster.

Matt Bryant hit 4 field goals, including 2 from 50+.  Bryant
was also on the week one winner's roster.
