I am quite certain that you have heard "do not overreact!" or "preseason doesn't matter" from several of your favorite football analysts before. When you are grinding out every edge that there is, however, preseason really does matter. Especially preseason week one! With three weeks left for best ball drafts and the high stakes drafts in Las Vegas not even starting yet, we should be mining out every piece of data that week one preseason NFL football has to offer us.
We are not so much looking at the #stats of how players played but we are more interested in player usage, how first-team offenses looked and if there are any surprising playing time distributions for veterans or expected starters.
