Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

With week 1 in the books, we get a little bit more of an idea how things will play out this fantasy season. We're not done with the bumps and bruises, however, not nearly! Week 2 brings with it quite a few challenges for teams unlucky enough to be hit with injuries to such players as Dez Bryant and Desean Jackson. The important thing at this stage of the season is not to panic, but rather to work the waiver wire and explore possible trades in order to have as much value on your team as possible over the next few weeks while those players are out. We discussed a few of those waiver wire pickups for week 2 and talked about guys that were overachievers or underachievers in Week 1 and whether or not those successes or disappointments would continue going forward.

Remember that the best thing that you can do for yourself as a fantasy team manager is to pay attention to all of the news and stats that come out after each week. The difference between a winning and losing season can easily be one waiver wire pickup that you overlooked because you didn't have time.
