COACH’S DECISION: Identifies fantasy football players who you normally would play but whose match-up this week is not very good; identifies fantasy football players who you normally would not play but whose match-up this week is good; or identifies fantasy football players who are injured that you, the fantasy coach, will need to make the call on whether or not to play.
NOTE: This list is inclusive of all Week 1 games. To read our narrative with analysis on each game’s match-up, see our review of Wednesday’s season kick-off game between the Giants & Cowboys here: Week 1 – Fantasy Football Weekly Choices: I’ve Drafted My Team, Now What, Fantasy Greek?, and our review of the Sunday & Monday games, to be posted throughout the week. As information heading into each game may change circumstances, remember to check back for updates to this and other Quick Hit lists. Also, since kickers’ weekly performances are difficult to predict, kickers will not be categorized but defenses (DST) will. As to kickers, just get a good one on a team that will give the kicker an opportunity to score points.
