Every Monday, I will be posting a stat/takeaway dump, unpacking different players and fantasy-related situations around the league. Week 8 included National Tight End Day! I, for one, was excited!

We’ve already seen a lot of Week 1 narratives die a grisly death as Week 2 draws to a close. Justin Fields is a matchup-proof QB1, the Lions’ offense is in trouble, Daniel Jones and the Colts aren’t for real, just to name a few. I will remind you again, however, the best predictor of

Wait, waiver wire before Week 1? Absolutely! Here at Optimus Fantasy, we help you stay ready so you don’t have to get ready. We’re not saying you need to roster every player on this list. After all, you could end up with a team of all waiver wire finds, and then sacrifice your best players.
