One of the biggest misconceptions about NFL Week 1 is that fantasy football managers think what they are seeing is real.
Isiah Pacheco rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown? He’s definitely pushing Clyde Edwards-Helaire for carries this season. Mike Williams caught just two passes and now Keenan Allen is hurt? He won’t be productive because defenses will key in on him.
We saw Thursday night of Week 2 that neither was true. What, then, makes you think your other Week 1 assumptions will be? This week will be more telling as to what teams are going to be doing than Week 1 ever will be, and the Packers are the perfect example.
