With the expanded NFL season, the fantasy season also gained an extra week, meaning 16 full weeks of fun. Four weeks in, we are through the first quarter. Let's take a look at my hits and misses so far.
Week one is always tough because we just drafted a roster we believe in, and aren't looking to bench anyone right off the bat even when they have less-than-stellar opening week matchups. My starts for week one were focused on fringe level players I was advocating to have flex value right out of the gate. My sits were merely prospects who looked to have tough week one opponents.
