And we’re back.
Week 1 is in the books, and once the early Monday Night Football game ended, most of our lineups started looking very healthy for their 2019 debut.
Rising above it all, SteveB leaned on two Eagles to post a 425. His lineup was led by Wentz, McCaffery, Carson, Ekeler, M. Thomas, Landry, and D. Jackson.
Michael was able to post a 412, thanks to a team led by Mahomes, Stafford, Kamara, Ingram, Hyde, Smith-Schuster, Hilton, Sutton, Kelce and Gostkowski.
It’s Steve‘s first weekly win of the season, but second in a row, having won Week 17 of the 2018 campaign. Michael earns his first payday since Week 12 of last year. Congrats to Steve and Michael on their strong season opener.
Honorable mention to Heather, who also topped 400 points in Week 1.
New Kids on the Block:
We have four rookie owners this season: CraigW, Chaz, Dalton and Nigel. All four of them had spectacular debuts, each scoring north of 300 points in their debut. Way to go gentlemen.
Also a warm welcome back to Dirk, a former league champion who returns in 2019 for the first time in many moons. Glad to have you back.

Housekeeping:
Out of 31 owners, I have received payment from 26 owners. That’s awesome.
Thank you.

Speaking of owners, we will have 32 starting next week. There’s still time to add owners, so if you know someone who might want to play, encourage them to send me an email.
Looking Ahead:
That’s it for Week 1. Please double check my work and let me know if you see any scoring errors.
