Week 1 of the 2016 College Fantasy Football season was one the crazier, wackier opening weekends in recent memory. Several major upsets, massive blowouts (I'm looking at you, Baylor), and downright crazy finishes set the wheels in motion for an absolutely fantastic college season. We saw fantasy stars shine, and others fall flat on their faces. Let's take a look who had the biggest impact, and those who left owners scratching their heads.

Best of the Rest
