*Week 1 - Standout players - Kristy95 - 08-01-2017
I figured it would be good to give a quick summary of week 1 and some of the standout performances that we saw. First off, I want to mention that four records were broken in week 1. Nuck had the most rush attempts in a game with 30. Turkleton had the longest field goal with a 57-yarder. Tweed had the most rushing yards with 125 and Orosz had the best passer rating with 124.4 - congratulations to all of them! As new as this league still is, it is always great to be in the record books, even briefly! I will also say that this is only my opinion and should not be treated as gospel, but I do intend to do this after each week, we will see, depends if it is liked or not.
Quarterback of the week:
C. Orosz - Orosz had a fantastic week. He went 19/30 for 261 yards with 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. He broke the record for best passer rating of all time and had an incredible week!
Runner-ups: E. Hunt - 17/25 for 156 with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Not as many yards as Orosz but he was very effective. Without the interception he could have had a fantastic week.
J. Bercovici - 20/36 for 267 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. The interceptions were the big issue for Bercovici, without that he would have been a stronger candidate.
Runningback of the week:
B. Tweed - Tweed was another record-breaking performer. He had 27 attempts for 125 yards and a touchdown.
Runner-ups: A. Savea: Savea had a very good game, with 23 attempts for 82 yards rushing, as well as three catches for 41 yards in the passing game. He did not score a touchdown however.
D. Farlane: Farlane was the only other player to get over 100 yards rushing at 105. He did not score a touchdown.
J. Durden: Durden had a very good game, getting 69 yards on 22 attempts rushing and adding 2 catches for 12 yards. He scored one touchdown rushing and another one receiving to be one of the only players with two touchdowns.
Wide-Receiver of the week:
J. Garden - Garden had a true stand-out week, catching 5 balls for 102 yards and two touchdowns. He had a fantastic week!
Runner-ups: A. LeClair: LeClair was the other wide receiver with two touchdowns this week, but he only had four catches for 43 yards.
F. North: One of the highlights for the expansion team liberty, North ended up with the most receiving yards in the week, with 6 catches and 117 yards receiving.
N. Stormblessed: Stormblessed was close to the league lead in receiving yards as well, ending up at 6 catches and 113 yards.
Tight End of the week:
C. Gibson - Gibson was easily the tight end of the week. He contributed fantastically and had 6 catches for 53 yards and a touchdown.
Runner-ups: G. Wright - Wright had 5 catches for 27 yards and with that was 2nd in both categories among tight ends. Wright also showed he is a good blocker with 4 pancakes.
