Week 1 of the fantasy football season is always a fun one.
Outside of football being back, the transactional trends are always interesting to see. In years past, the biggest pickup that comes to mind is Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Kevin Ogletree after Week 1 of the 2012 NFL season. Ogletree caught eight passes for over 100 yards and two touchdowns in a breakout performance, and the hype around him was insane in regards to his role with the team. Of course, he ended up being just another Week 1 wonder.

In this slideshow, we’ll examine all of these trends and provide analysis as to what to make of them. Because believe it or not, it’s not always the best idea to follow the crowd.
