Fantasy Football Week 1: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em - Week in, week out the Niner Times has your fantasy football needs covered

The NFL Preseason is finally over, which means that fantasy football is right around the corner. The first week of September is a popular time for owners to draft their teams for multiple reasons. The first being the preseason gives fantasy football owners a chance to see how a potentially drafted player performs before the regular season. Next, owners can wait and see to make sure a player doesn’t get injured before the season begins, see Tony Romo. Lastly, owners may have procrastinated the entire summer until three days before the season started to get a fantasy team.

Regardless, the NFL is back on Thursday with a Super Bowl rematch (Cam Newton would say differently) between the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos.
