Fantasy Football: 4 Lessons We Learned From Week 1, Including Why You Need To Trim The Fat

Did you play fantasy football this week? Are you freaking the hell out? Join the club. Although I won my opening round matchup in the SportsGrid Fontasie League, my starting running backs are Fred Jackson and Rashad Jennings. My dire backfield situation hangs over my team like a dark cloud of severed ligaments and rookie playing time, and I, like many Americans, need fantasy guidance. I need a recap. I need… a tiny chalkboard.

Here with all of those things, and to help us sift through the wreckage that was Week 1, are a pair of fantasy football-obsessed brothers, Jake and Hank O’Donnell. The O’Donnell boys have four lessons they’ve gleaned from the opening weekend of fake football action, including why you should only focus on one or two of your teams (and neglect the others like they’re your chubby, tentative sons).

Here are your four takeaways from Week 1. RIP Mike Alstott.
