Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

Week 2 was a lot of fun. More fun if you had guys like Allen/Diggs or Tagovailoa/Waddle, though. There were quite a few peak performances out there that may have tipped the fantasy scales. Hopefully in your favor! But, if not, the whole point of rankings and being thoughtful in setting your weekly lineups is to make sure that you are playing the right balance of players that can give your team every bit of possible advantage before leaving it to lady luck.

As we look into week 3's crystal ball, note that some replacement players like Jeff Wilson and Jimmy Garoppolo will start inching up the rankings depending on their trends over the next few games. It's a good time also to start thinking about trades for those players with a high pedigree and initial draft value that are not performing up to snuff yet like Darnell Mooney, Dameon Pierce, etc. Good luck!

Even after so many notable injuries in Week 1 of the 2022 fantasy football season, we're still looking forward to what week 2 will bring. Right?! Of course. That's the name of the game. Quite a few waiver wire picks this week could be difference-makers, including RBs Jaylen Warren and Jeff Wilson Jr. We will start to see trends over the next few weeks that will shape the rankings going forward, but in the meantime it's smart to continue to play guys with limited risk - throwing in a whim or two as you see fit. Best of luck in Week 2, and remember not to do too much tweaking on Sunday mornings - that very rarely ends up with a positive result from my experience. :)

As we ease into Week 1 of the 2022 NFL fantasy football season, reeling from the possible impact of the Bills' win over the Rams on Thursday Night Football, there are quite a few questionable and doubtful tags from notable players like George Kittle that you should be aware of. In addition to using these rankings as a guideline, I would highly recommend paying close attention to the weather forecast for games (those not in a dome, anyway!) from week to week. For example, the extreme inclement weather at the Bears game this morning could shift the entire game to a rushing battle of Montgomery vs. Mitchell, rather than exploring the receiving talents out there on each team. A resource that we would suggest using each Sunday before the games start is: http://www.nflweather.com/.
