So, instead of worrying about who’s going where, we will be focusing on which formation will best set you up for the season to come. Looking back at last year the the top 50 Fantasy performers consisted of 17 forwards, 19 midfielders, 8 defenders and 6 goalkeepers. This, unsurprisingly, is reflects the traditional spending model in Fantasy Football with around 70 per cent (52.5) going to forwards and midfielders....

GK: Kasper Schmeichel – Leicester City – 1 Game, 1 Penalty Save, 2 Saves, 1 Clean Sheet = 13 Points DF: Wes Morgan – Leicester City – 1 Game, 1 Goal, 1 Clean Sheet = 14 Points This Leicester performance was shocking to most fans, and especially to Premier League fans who have seen them put up one of the weakest title defences in years....

And that’s why we’re here. Every week we’ll be highlighting potential busts that you need to watch out for. Whether it’s injuries, playing time concerns, or favorable/unfavorable matchups, there are always reasons to be leery of certain players. And there’s no shortage of those guys in Week 1, including some that plenty of owners drafted to be their starters.

Because many owners are hesitant to make moves this early in the season, the list below isn’t necessarily meant to prompt an immediate response; rather, it’s a guide for the stats and trends worth following with the players mentioned below. If Darren Waller has another high-target, middling-production game, that’s actually a positive if you’re thinking about acquiring him in the future. If Chris Carson once again sees limited carries, then that’s all the more reason to be concerned about him even if he scores again....

Although the drafters won’t all be named to protect their innocence or guilt, Matt Lutovsky, Brad Pinkerton, Tadd Haislop, Bill Bender, Sean Gentille and yours truly were the SN writers taking part in the festivities. Note: This was a 12-team, non-PPR league with 10 starters (QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, FLEX, K, D/ST) and six bench spots.

If a healthy Gurley plays to his potential, then it becomes tough to criticize Fisher or fantasy owners who take Gurley with their own early pick. Meanwhile, several other rookies from this year’s class have a chance to emerge as startable fantasy running backs.

Gronk isn’t the only injury-prone, potentially elite TE. Jordan Reed also fits that bill, and the Redskins’ new-look passing game (DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon out; Terrelle Pryor in) in an interesting variable when trying to assess him. The same is true for old reliable (read: boring) Delanie Walker, who now has to compete with Eric Decker and first-round pick Corey Davis for targets. Travis Kelce and Greg Olsen feel like “safe” picks, and we all want to think Jimmy Graham is after his bounce-back season, but the jury is still out at least a little bit with him....

Don’t forget, in addition to the usual prime-time games this week, there are two games on Saturday (Bills-Broncos, Panthers-Packers), so make sure you have your lineups ready to go ahead of your semifinal matchup.

WEEK 8 RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker Marshawn Lynch suspension update Lynch’s appeal of his one-game ban for shoving a referee in Week 7 was denied by the NFL on Tuesday, meaning he’ll miss Week 8’s game against the Bills. The veteran back hadn’t been doing much this season, so his loss likely isn’t too crushing to his owners, even in a six-team bye week....

Yes, it’s begun, the annual march to Week 1 which sees myriad changes to rankings, cheat sheets, sleeper lists, and draft strategies based on the slightest bit of new information. That leads us to the top of today’s fantasy football rundown, “just” 34 days until the NFL’s opening night. 2016 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker Is Jay Ajayi or Arian Foster going to start for the Dolphins?...

Of course, our full free agent list does have some injury replacements on it, including DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard (Doug Martin), LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick (Kerryon Johnson) and John Ross (A.J. Green). As always, among the breakouts and injury replacements, we also have plenty streamers at QB, TE, and D/ST for next week. The pickings are fairly slim (which is fine during a two-team bye), but there are a few decent options, particularly at defense....
