Early-Season Dynasty Trade Targets

After one week of NFL action, the fantasy overreaction is already at a critical mass. Seasoned dynasty league managers have learned to take a patient, long-term approach to roster construction.

Snap Count and Usage Analysis from Week 1

NFL snaps are not the be-all-end-all for fantasy production but they paint a clear picture with necessary context.

Baltimore Ravens running back Devonta Freeman was promoted to the 53-man roster from the practice squad on Thursday.
