As predicted, Travis Kelce had a tough time against the New England Patriots’ defense on Thursday Night Football. His teammate, Kareem Hunt, did not however. A guy that we were big fans of heading into the draft, we figured NE would have at least given him a little more trouble…
Let’s take a look at our top “Booms and Busts” for the week:
Booms
Stefon Diggs (WR-MIN) – Playing against the Saints and has break away speed. Check and check.
Dalvin Cook (RB-MIN) – See above. Also can’t let Kareem Hunt show him up as a fellow rookie RB.
Pierre Garcon (WR-SF) – A PPR monster, Garcon is going to be a favorite target for Brian Hoyer. Especially appealing in a game where they will likely be playing from behind.
Busts
Zeke Elliott (RB-DAL) – Dallas got some good news when they found out their star running back would likely play for the entire season. However, the New York Football Giants will not be an easy Week 1 for the Cowboys.
Leonard Fournette (RB-JAX) – First NFL game against a fired up Houston Texans team? We’ll pass. Look for J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney to give the Jaguars nightmares for weeks to come.
T.Y. Hilton (WR-IND) & Jack Doyle (TE-IND) – No Andrew Luck, and playing the Rams in L.A.? No thanks.
Good luck in the first week back!
