Really? GTFOS! Week 1 edition

Some of you may remember this from last season, well... it's back..... ... ... .. . . .
Yea, whatever, there were some eye-openers this week in terms of fantasy points. I know some of you may already know these stats, but I want to point out guys who were just straight up insane! And they aren't guys that you would've started either!

Quarterbacks
Cam Newton - Carolina Panthers
Who would've predicted Cam Newton would be the guy everyone's look up at after Week 1? Dude went nuts on the Cards throwing for a pair of TDs and running one in himself, not only that, he threw for 422 yards! Are you kidding me?

Ryan Fitzpatrick - Buffalo Bills
After being written off following his abysmal performance the second half of last season, he threw for 4 TDs! And it was against a Chiefs defense that was actually good last season! You've gotta be kidding me! The numbers he put up today were insane!

Matthew Stafford - Detroit Lions
A lot of people had him as a sleeper, but he went nuts today, throwing for over 300 yards and 3 TDs. He got the Lions the win today and his numbers are just going to keep getting better this season. Megatron is going to have a great year.

Running Backs
Mike Tolbert - San Diego Chargers
Another guy that a lot of people had handcuffed to Ryan Matthews, he went nuts today for 3 TDs and 93 total yards with 9 receptions. This is the guy to own in San Diego. He's a beast!

Darren Sproles - New Orleans Saints
The replacement to Reggie Bush, except this guy is faster and can contribute in the return game, if you have return yards as a stat, this guy lights it up. Not to mention, 7 receptions and 75 receiving yards ain't too shabby either.

Beanie Wells - Arizona Cardinals
Beanie showed his critics he's capable of carrying the rock now that Hightower is out of Phoenix. He had 90 yards, 1 TD, 4 receptions, and 12 receiving yards. Give him his props, he's going to exceed 1000 yards this season

Cadillac Williams - St. Louis Rams
When Jackson went down, Cadillac picked up the slack posting 6 receptions and 140 combined yards. He's definitely someone you want to pick up if Jackson is going to be hurt going into the next game.

Wide Receivers
Steve Smith - Carolina Panthers
Guess who's back, back again, Steve Smith's back, tell a friend... with Cam Newton, Steve Smith EXPLODED for 8 receptions, 178 receiving yards and 2 TDs, he's back my friends and if you didn't pick him up, you're going to have to live with it.

Devery Henderson - New Orleans Saints
The leading receiver in Thursday Night's shootout at Lambeau. He had 6 receptions, 100 yards and a touchdown. With Colston injured and Moore not looking well for next week's games, Henderson becomes the next best thing in the Saints passing game!

Tight Ends
Scott Chandler - Buffalo Bills
Ryan Fitzpatrick's new favorite red zone target had 5 receptions for 63 yards and 2 TDs! And no one's ever heard of this guy outside of Buffalo! Maybe even in Buffalo, no one was expecting this, regardless, he's a guy to pick up.
