Keenan Allen has torn his ACL and he’s done for the season. As Al Zeidenfeld points out, that could lead to some changes for Danny Woodhead and Antonio Gates. The last two season, in the games that Allen missed, Woodhead averaged 14.5 PPR points, nearly two full points above his average when Allen played, and he gained a full reception per contest (5.12 per game) while seeing two more targets an outing. Surprisingly, Gates actually saw his totals remain relatively similar. In fact, he lost a bit in his PPR point total from 14.3 down to 13.0.

Drew Brees became just the 7th quarterback to pass for 400 yards and four scores in the opening game in the Super Bowl era. Brees went over 300-yards for the 97th time, the most in NFL history.

Dez Bryant paid the price for working with an inexperienced, young quarterback in Dak Prescott. Bryant caught one of five targets for eight yards. The only other time in which he had a worse effort was when he was held catchless back in 2010 against the Saints.

Victor Cruz only played six less snaps than Odell Beckham in Week 1 (49 to 55). Rookie Sterling Shepard, in his first game, was at 53 snaps. That’s pretty surprising.

Matt Forte was a monster in Week 1 approaching 30 touches, and he became just the second Jets running back with 50 yards running and receiving in the same game in five years (Chris Ivory). He’s going to be a lot better than most told ya (except if you listened to us because we told ya).

Melvin Gordon didn’t score last season. He scored twice in Week 1. That’s the story for everyone. Should it be? Make sure to note that Danny Woodhead carried the ball more, 16 times in total to 14 for Gordon, and that Woodhead more than doubled Gordon’s snap total 50 to 23.

A.J. Green caught 180-yards worth of passes as he repeatedly torched Darrelle Revis. #HotTake

Eight wideouts went for 100-yards over the weekend. Alshon Jeffrey was the only one with less than five catches as he hauled in four passes for 105 yards.

David Johnson showed speed, power and elusiveness in Week 1 as he produced 4.1 yards after contact (no other back with 10 carries was over 3.3). He’s a beast. He also caught six passes leading to 132 yards from scrimmage and a score. Stardom awaits. #SuperHotTake

Marvin Jones hauled in just 4-of-10 passes, though it was for 85 yards. He should improve, especially with Matthew Stafford being locked in since Jim Bob Cooter took over the offense last season.

Check out my video thoughts on Jordy Nelson, Chris Hogan and Kelvin Benjamin in this edition of the Daily Dive video.  By the way, Benjamin missed a catch he should have hauled in and he also rounded off a route that led to an interception.

Doug Martin forced eight missed tackles in Week 1 and caught all five of his targets as a pass catcher. The eight missed tackles were the most since Week 12 of last season when Chris Ivory matched the trick. Martin averaged 0.61 yards per carry before contact as his line just didn’t open up any holes.

LeSean McCoy got into the end zone making his Week 1 effort palatable. The o-line didn’t help, and Tyrod Taylor couldn’t do anything through the air, but McCoy averaged just one yard after contact per carry. The offense produced 130 yards, the fewest they have had since the 5th week of the 2006 season.

DeMarco Murray was on the field more than twice as often as Derrick Henry (50 to 21 snaps).

Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns caught 12 balls for 169 yards in Week 1. However, it took 23 targets to get to those numbers as they were extremely inefficient thanks to passes from Blake Bortles being just slightly off much of the afternoon.

Aaron Rodgers didn’t look great in Week 1, even if his fantasy outing was solid. He didn’t throw for 200-yards, but he tossed two passing scores and added another with his legs. Did you know that was the 11th time he has done that since 2008, the second most games of two passing scores and one rushing behind only Cam Newton?

Kyle Rudolph should have caught a fifth pass in Week 1, but he was still targeted eight times which is encouraging, though things could change when Sam Bradford is under center.

Tajae Sharpe was on the field for 29 more snaps than Rishard Matthews (64 to 35).

Alex Smith led the Chiefs to their 11th straight win, a club record and the longest active streak in football. They came back from 21 points down, the largest comeback in team history.

Willie Snead caught nine passes for 172 yards and a score against the Raiders. He caught passes against six different defensive players.

Another video, this one the Big 3, that talks about the exploits in Week 1 of 100-yard runners, 125-yard wideouts, and tight ends that scored.

Laquon Treadwell didn’t play a snap in Week 1. The game just ain’t that easy folks. #OnFireHotTake

Everyone was all over starting T.J. Yeldon in Week 1, though I suggested a lot of caution even after we heard that Chris Ivory was out of action (I had him ranked 25th). He caught four passes and scored to have a solid fantasy day. What I focused on were the 25 touches led to 69 yards and that included a pathetic 1.9 YPC mark as a runner. #HotTakeOnSlowPlay

Spencer Ware caught seven passes to lead running backs. His teammate, Charcandrick West, was second with six grabs. Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick, teammates on the Lions, both caught five passes. That just doesn’t happen folks – two backs with five catches in a game from the same team.

James White caught five of his seven targets and created 38 of his 40 yards after the catch.

Russell Wilson attempted a career-high 43 passes in Week1. The 12-10 victory over the Dolphins was the first time in three career attempts of 40 passes that Wilson has won.

The only tight end to see 10-targets was Jason Witten who caught nine of 14 pass attempts. He only produced 66 yards though. Still, if you’re complaining with that effort there is something wrong with ya.

What does the Fantasy Doctor think about Russell Wilson’s ankle issue? See the video.
