Six points with David Dorey

The 2023 season is underway, and Week 1 is the most exciting week of the year for three reasons:

1. The true nature of injuries finally have to be disclosed.
2. There will be many player surprises that sends everyone scrambling to their league waiver wire. Who was to know that Player X would blow up like that? This is “go figure” week.
3. Expectations are reset based on Week 1, which is often wrong because Week 1 is different than the rest and not a great barometer of anything.

So we’ll see some exciting things, score many fantasy points, and then need a reminder not to buy into anything too much. Consider Week 1 of 2022 – here are the players that scored two touchdowns to reward fantasy owners – Kareem Hunt, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Dontrell Hilliard, O.J. Howard, Michael Thomas, Devin Duvernay, and Robbie Chosen Anderson. The third-best quarterback was Carson Wentz, with four touchdowns and 313 yards.
