One bad game doesn't make a bust. One big game doesn't make a star.
Week 1 is done, and dynasty managers everywhere are already reaching for the panic button. Jeff and Brian Hartman (Too Much Fantasy Football) sort through the real injury concerns, the disappointments that don't matter, and the hot performances that are actually buy-low or sell-high windows.
Key Takeaways
Don't overreact to Week 1. One game is a terrible sample size for any big roster decision.
Injuries to Brock Bowers, A.J. Brown, and Zay Flowers create real buy-low windows, but the details of each injury matter more than the name.
Disappointing stats from tight ends like Colston Loveland and Kyle Pitts are mostly noise at a famously volatile position.
Hot performances from players like Jalen Coker and Isaiah Likely are sell-high opportunities more often than they're a new baseline.
