Almost as fast as Aaron Rodgers’ NY Jets debut lasted, Week 1 is in the books, and last year’s league runner up Eric, gets off to a strong start with a 319 to earn the first weekly win of the 30th season of this league..
Eric‘s team was led by Hurts, Carr, McCaffery, T. Hill, Hockenson, Folk and the Commanders D.
Taking second to open the season is sophomore owner Kristie, who posted a 310, thanks to a lineup featuring Hurts, Garopollo, McCaffery, Jefferson, K. Allen, Elliott and the 49ers D.
This is Eric‘s first weekly win since opening day of the 2021 season, and Kristie‘s first pay day ever. Congratulations to Eric and Kristie on a solid opening week.
Honorable mention to Tom (302), the only other player in Week 1 to exceed 300 points.
