1. Throw Out Preseason
Many owners will make the mistake of looking at the preseason stats to find the diamond-in-the-rough player, but this is the regular season guys. Most good teams with established QBs run one-page of offensive plays during the preseason in order to not show their hand. Preseason games don't count, and niether do the stats from them.
2. Injury Report Doesn't Mean Much
If you think Alshon Jeffery or Julian Edelman are not going to play Week 1 then you should go ahead and tank the rest of the season. Dez Bryant did not play the entire preseason due to a "hamstring", so does that mean to be careful about playing him? Get real guys. The stars are going to play.
3. Play Your Big Players
During Week 1 there are no bye weeks, so play all of your star quality players while you can. As bye weeks come up, then get cute with your roster and try out the rookie or the speedster WR. For now, stick with the names you know.
4. Matchups Are Real
This is good advice for any week. Pay close attention to matchups to get the most points possible. Don't discount home field advantages either. Weather is not a factor at this point, so expect the passers to pass and runners to run wild with a favorable matchup.
5. Watch Every Player...Get Ready To Pounce on FAs
One of the best things about Week 1 is watching the free agents that are left in your league for potential roster additions. Make a short list of free agents and track their performance in Week 1. Somebody is going to get hurt, so be ready to make the needed roster changes to win the leagues this year.
