Week 1: Running Back Issues as Big Bucks Stumble

Week 1: Running Back Issues as Big Bucks Stumble

With week 1 done and dusted, the Big Bucks are going to have to take a long hard look at themselves and their running game. Despite the stellar back line of McCaffrey, Elliot and Akers, they ran into issues (pun intended) with Akers in particular failing to contribute any points. 

The bench also played havoc for the Big Bucks, with Lamar Jackson, Miles Sanders and Amon-Ra St. Brown all scoring over 15 points sitting on the bench.

General Manager S.Coffey indicated there may be some movement at Quarterback, shocking reporters by stating openly "I can't believe I benched Lamar".

Wilson recently left the Seahawks due to lack of appreciation, expect some toys to be thrown out of the pram if he hears about his GMs comments.

Shanahanigans Take Advantage

Despite the big 49er contingent it was Vikings Justin Jefferson and Bills Stefon Diggs that came in big for K.Gannon's team, contributing over 60 points between them. 

With big question marks over the 49er defence, as well as Trey Lance at QB, Gannon will be hoping his star receiving core can keep the high level of performance.
