Do check rankings on Fantasy Rooster and start your highest ranked players.

● Don’t get caught up in someone’s preseason stats and put them in over an established starter.

● Do check your lineup before games start in case there is a change in your players’ status.

● Don’t overreact and cut someone based on Week 1 performance.

● Do check with managers in your league to see if they are nervous about a fantasy star that has a rough first week. See if you can get them at a discount.

● Don’t trade your stars if they have a rough week. Be patient.

● Do check to see if there is a higher rated kicker on the waiver and scoop them up. 

● Don’t show loyalty to a kicker. They suck.

● Do talk trash to the manager of the team you are playing Week 1. It’s just more fun.

● Don’t lose graciously if you lose Week 1. Tell them they got lucky this week, but you will beat them like eggs next time.

● Do grab a guy off the wire you have been looking at if he goes off Week 1.

● Don’t drop a starter for the waiver guy. Drop someone off your bench. Or the kicker.

● Do set aside some time to watch your players on Sunday (or any other day they are playing).

● Don’t let someone make you feel guilty for sitting and watching football. This is important.

● Do make sure you have a clever team name before Week 1. 

● Don’t change your team name every week. Don’t be that guy.

● Do make sure you have a full starting lineup. No IR players as your starting RB.

● Don’t make sure you have a full starting lineup? You won’t be invited to the league next year.

● Do expect to win your league Week 1.

● Don’t have t-shirts made just yet. Wait until Week 4.
