Week 1 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint

Guys, we made this. Football is back after a long and hard summer!

Building the right lineup before kickoff is important as Week 1 presents

[{"selector":"#anim-f470dac4-f12a-496a-92ee-7414a7c61393 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-20.530931109697104%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

a great opportunity for a strong start to the fantasy season.

[{"selector":"#anim-d86e2d0d-652a-491c-92db-0f944e06ba30 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.251833089209086%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

But even if your star players are disappointed or have a bad game

[{"selector":"#anim-476f076d-737a-4e0b-bbda-aad7ee5bf5ec [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.499999772451451%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

in the first game of the season, it's not the end of the world.

[{"selector":"#anim-57160299-7e3b-435d-a833-0c9af6330c3c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-5.326912662963639%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

We always see players accelerate after a slow start,

[{"selector":"#anim-c4647503-96a8-4f0c-9628-ca82fc6dac1d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-15.509520177295997%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

so fantasy managers shouldn't overreact after a game.

[{"selector":"#anim-ac6f499c-e40c-4d09-8120-f4e4b3ae1b9d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.841846877324755%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

For example, Jonathan Taylor, who finished as RB1 overall in 2021,

[{"selector":"#anim-7e4fbb73-9c7a-40ce-99fe-3c77928c0550 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.703267220548719%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

made three consecutive subpar appearances to open the season.

[{"selector":"#anim-5e0cbdf1-309c-46b1-b75a-89d251a6408c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-10.624999761074031%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]
