What is this I see?



Are you ready?

Can you feel it?

It's finally here! The regular season starts on Thursday with two high-powered offenses guaranteed to boost your Fantasy Teams scoring before the weekend even starts....either that, or it will boost your opponents scoring. A few things to remember as we kick of the 2007 NFL and FF seasons:

  1. Watch the injuries. Be quick to notice if one of your guys goes down, the early bird usually gets the backup.
  2. Watch out for one week wonders. Undoubtedly someone that is undrafted in almost every league will pop out of nowhere and have 100+ yards and a touchdown. This will lead to everyone in the league putting a waiver claim in on this person. If you drafted well, and the depth on your team is good, don't waive a solid player for someone who got lucky in week 1
  3. Be active and pursue trades to make your team better. If you have a guy that is performing above average, don't be afraid to pull the trigger with someone to benefit the depth of your team.
  4. Be active 7 days a week! News about players come out every single day, and if you don't pay attention you could end up starting someone that is injured or has a tough day ahead of them.
  5. Be aware of matchups. Sure, you'd never bench your studs, but if you are stuck deciding between two guys of equal value and one is playing the Texans and the other is playing Baltimore....who are you starting?
  6. Have fun! Fantasy Football adds a whole new enjoyment level to watching football.

Be careful out there in Fantasy Football world and always remember that I'm rooting for your team, as long as they aren't playing mine.
