The BAWM - Week 1 Recap
9/10/02

Football season is underway and now is the time that fantasy owner's can start boasting or crying. It is great news that there were no devastating injuries this week that would affect most. Granted there were sprains and some pulls, but nothing season ending at this point.

As I have mentioned before, there is no exact science to predicting winners or stats, however let's take a quick look at last weeks BAWM and see how I did.

As you can see I was right on the money with some and completely off on others, however, I am not afraid to go over the results. All in all, it was a crazy, high-scoring, fun week. Stay tuned for the Week 2 BAWM due out on Thursday.

Best

QB Donovan McNabb vs. Tennessee
(18/36, 212 yards, 3TD, 2INT, 15 yards rushing)
Was dominating in the first half and then came back to earth.

QB Brett Farve vs. Atlanta
(25/36, 284 yards, 2 TDs)
Doesn't need all-pro receivers to do well.

RB Emmitt Smith vs. Houston
(17 rushes, 67 yards)
The whole team should be embarrassed.

RB Anthony Thomas vs. Minnesota

Still finding the end zone.

WR Chris Chambers vs. Detroit

Wasn't looked upon often, but scored anyway.

(5 catches 76 yards)
New year, old results, No TD.

TE Kyle Brady vs. Indianapolis
(1 catch, 1 yard)
Non-factor.

TE Todd Heap vs. Carolina
(5 catches, 20 yards)
The catch total is a good sign.

Average

QB Jay Fiedler vs. Detroit
(18/27, 207 yards, 3 TDs)
Just remember his opponent in this one.

QB Shane Matthews vs. Arizona
(28/40, 327 yards, 3 TDs)

His job may be in question.

Watch his injury carefully.
