Top 30 fantasy scorers: Week 1

Week 1 of the 2016 fantasy season is in the books! We had some surprises along the way (hello Alex Smith) and a few disappointments too (where is Adrian Peterson!?). As usual, the top 30 scorers are loaded with quarterbacks but there's a good mix of running backs and wideouts here too. This was a down week for tight ends though, as not a single player at the position cracked the top 30. Anyway, catch up with the great photos below, and feel free to check out our fantasy scoring leaders page here.
