This is the first time for me doing the weekly football picks challenge. Never really understood the whole fantasy football stuff. Its just picking players that you think will have a good game each week.
There is no real system that I used to pick in week one of the bleacher report quick pick challenge.
Week 1 - Quarterback - Philip Rivers
I thought that Philip Rivers would hit the ground running. He did a good job with his stats. He threw for over 300 yards week one 2 touchdowns with 2 turnovers.
Week 1 - Running back - Frank Gore
I expected the niners to use Gore more but he didn't end up getting a lot of rushing yards. This pick was a disappointment. Only 59 yards week one. Too bad that you can only use a player one time during the challenge. Gore will have a big game during the season. I should have waited on choosing him but I was hoping that he could break lose on week 1 because of the shortened off season programs.
Week 1 - Wide Receiver - Miles Austin
Dallas likes to throw the ball and I expected Miles Austin to make some big plays in week one. He got one touchdown and 83 yards total. They just were not hitting on all cylinders. Austin has big games it just was not week one.
Week 1 - Tight End - Jason Whitten
Lets face it Whitten is the go to guy for Dallas. You can expect him to get big numbers everyweek. Everybody knows that Romo likes to go to Whitten and they still can't stop it. He picked up 110 yards but no touchdowns in week 1.
Week 1 - Team - Houston Texans
Just took a look at the team they were playing Indy and thought that without Peyton they would be toast. I was right.
Overall Week 1 was okay. Expected better play from my picks but its week one.
