Longtime owner Kim posted a 382 to win the debut week of the 2022 fantasy football season. Kim’s lineup was led by Mahomes, Carr, Taylor, J. Williams, Kupp, Kelce and York.
Runner-up was the inimitable Mr. Eames, who scored a 376, thanks to a team featuring Jackson, Winston, Taylor, J. Williams, Jefferson, Cooks and York.
This is Kim’s first weekly win since Week 15 of 2021, and Mr. Eames‘ first payday since Week 17 of the 2019 campaign. Congrats to Kim and Mr. Eames on their strong debuts in the 2022 campaign.
