Week One of the 2015 NFL season is in the books and a lot of crazy stuff happened.
For those of you who are involved in NFL Fantasy Football, especially those of you who took a loss in week one, it's time to think about the waivers and who you should look to acquire.
Allen Hurns - WR - Jacksonville Jaguars
If I had told you that a Jacksonville Jaguars wide-reciver would be the highest scoring WR in week one you would have laughed at me. If I then asked you to guess which one, you may have suggested Cecil Shorts III, Marquise Lee, Allan Robinson, or even the suspended Justin Blackmon ahead of undrafted rookie Hurns, but the man from The U seized his opportunity with both hands, and made history in the progress. A stunning statline of 110 yards and 2 TDs may be a flash in the pan, but the manner of the scores showed that this young player has big play potential.
Justin Forsett - RB - Baltimore Ravens
Now that Ray Rice has been suspended from the league indefinitely, Forsett will be given a chance as a main figure on the Ravens offence. 70 yards and a TD was good showing in week one, so Forsett should be a priority for anyone who was let down by the RBs in the opening week of the season.
Ahmad Bradshaw - RB - Indianapolis Colts
Perhaps one that will slip under the radar, veteran RB Ahmad Bradshaw only had 3 carries for 15 yards in the Colts opener, but his 70 receiving yards demand attention. With Bradshaw evidently being Andrew Luck's go-to checkdown, he could be a solid points earner in deeper leagues.
Terrance West - RB - Cleveland Browns
Rookie running-back Terrance West was given his chance after new free agent acquisition Ben Tate went down with an injury that everyone really should have seen coming. West had a breakout game rushing for 100 yards on 16 carries and will be a big part of the Browns offence in the absence to Tate.
Jake Locker - QB - Tennessee Titans
If you weren't lucky enough to get a reliable QB in your draft, you probably took a gamble on someone like Tony Romo. If that was the case, they you may well need a new QB. Jake Locker ran the Titans offence with great efficiency against a Chiefs defence that many thought would be tough, but 226 yards and two TDs for Locker will see him claimed by teams in need of some help early on. He goes head to head with Romo next week, maybe worth a punt.
