First Day of Fantasy Football Season

Things to Remember:

1. Check for injuries- Nothing worse that realizing on game day you have an injury and wont earn any points because that player is out. 

2. Picking players up. Free Agents are easier than Waivers, but not to worry- if you want the pick up the Waiver order shouldn't be too much of a issue. you'll come back around on the list.

3. Bye weeks- Do you have more players on the same bye week than you have benched players to fill their spots? Time to pick up some players out of that bye week- but unfortunately you may have to drop a player in order to get through a rough bye week that you maybe didnt realize. 

4. Defense isnt a huge deal, but still, keep an eye on the available defenses popping up because people tend to drop them for players and just prey that they will be available after the games....and you have the opportunity to pick them up!

5. Have fun and ask questions- Theres nothing worse that people quitting(not managing the players, just letting the team go as is...and saying they dont care anymore) It may not mean anything to you, but you are playing in a league and they WANT to play- so let them. Do minor 5 minute tweaks every week and everyone will be happy.
