There is an element to Fantasy Football that has a lot to do with guess work in the early part of the season.
That is never more true than Week 1 or 2, when head coaches are putting their most highly skilled offensive talent on the field for the first time. Some of these players may have seen some action during the preseason, but many more have been saved because head coaches want to guard against injuries.
Whether that's good or bad is debatable, but it is reality. Top players are rarely in top form at the start of the season.
