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.

This week we finished off the Scotch.. oh yeah, and also had a great podcast where we went in-depth about a lot of the players with injury or on-the-field concerns and what you should do with them. Also covered waiver wire pickups for week 2 and some new columns on drinkfive.com - the beer of choice for the evening was World's End IPA by Emmet's in Palatine, IL, a local place for us here at the studio. Grab yourself a beer and listen in!

With Week 1 laid to rest, we can start to dig into the questions that will be high on fantasy football manager's minds early in the season. Things like, could A.J. Brown be a WR2/3 for the rest of the year? Are the Browns going to flop, even with all of that rostered talent?

Jason & Dave, the hosts of the Fantasy Finish Line Podcast, look forward to Week 2's matchups and touch on 5 Fantasy Fool's Gold players who may be shiny but won't provide your team with enough upside going forward to warrant a roster spot.
