Football Hotpage > Week One - Everyone is a Winner Before the Season Starts

Most, if not all, fantasy drafts are in the books and week one is charged with enthusiasm. No matter who you drafted, it is easy to rationalize why your team will dominate the league. After week one, 50% of us will be left scratching our heads trying to figure it out where it all went wrong. But do not panic if your team loses in week one, the season is a long road.

I remember a couple of seasons ago when Anquan Boldin burst on the scene out of nowhere and became the fantasy free agent darling of the season. Trust me, there will be a player that completely flew under the radar in all fantasy drafts that will be a free agent steal. Remember, any free agents that you acquire after week one you will be able to use on your roster for virtually the whole season. Do not be afraid to open up your free agent bidding wallet to acquire an impact free agent based on week one results.

Good luck to all this fantasy football season!
