Week 1 of the NFL season is just around the corner, and fantasy football managers are starting to get excited. After all, the regular season is where the real fun begins. But before you can start setting your lineups and making waiver wire moves, you need to be prepared. Here are a few tips on how to prepare for Week 1 fantasy football:
WHAT TO FOCUS ON
- Review your draft results. Take a close look at the players you drafted and make sure you're happy with your team composition. If you're not, you may need to make some adjustments to your lineup or waiver wire strategy.
- Check for injuries. Injuries can have a major impact on fantasy football teams, so it's important to stay up-to-date on the latest news. If any of your players are injured, you'll need to make a decision about whether to start them or find a replacement.
- Research your opponents. Take some time to research your opponents' defenses. This will help you identify players who have favorable matchups and avoid players who have tough matchups.
- Look for sleepers. Sleepers are players who are under the radar but have the potential to have big fantasy seasons. Do some research to find sleepers who could help you win your league.
- Be patient. Don't make any rash decisions in the week leading up to Week 1. Give yourself time to review your team, research your opponents, and find sleepers.
SECONDARY TIPS
- Check your league's scoring settings. Make sure you understand how your league scores points for each position. This will help you make informed decisions about who to start and sit.
- Review your team's depth chart. Make sure you know who is going to be starting for each position on your team. This is especially important if you have any rookies or players who are new to your team.
- Look at your opponents' schedules. See who your opponents are playing in Week 1 and make sure you're starting players who have favorable matchups.
- Review your waiver wire. See if there are any players on the waiver wire who could help your team. You may want to add a sleeper or a player who has a favorable matchup in Week 1.
By following these tips, you can be well-prepared for Week 1 fantasy football. Just remember to be patient and don't make any rash decisions.
