A wild opening weekend of NFL action has produced some fairly stable fantasy football results.
In week 1, both the New Orleans Saints and the Tennessee Titans managed to win a fantasy game they lost in real life.
High score of the week goes to the New England Patriots, who scored an impressive 118 points against the Miami Dolphins on Monday night.
Low score falls to the Kansas City Chiefs at 14 points, who were unable to score enough fantasy points to beat the real 41 points the Buffalo Bills scored against them.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, obliterated on the road by Baltimore, also failed to score more fantasy points (31) than the real number put on them by the Ravens (35) in their divisional tilt.
