The Saints-Colts Game Will Likely Effect The Outcome Of Most First Week Fantasy Football Match-ups

The first game of the NFL season is the Saints-Colts game on Thursday. With all of the players from those 2 teams that were likely selected in your fantasy football draft, this game will almost certainly have an effect on your first week match-ups. Think about all the big name players in this game who are on fantasy teams in your league - Peyton Manning, Joseph Addai, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Adam Vinitieri, Dallas Clark, Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Deuce McCallister, Marquis Colston, and Devery Henderson. There's even a possibility that the Colts 3rd receiver Anthony Gonzalez and the Saints Tight End Eric Johnson were selected in your fantasy draft. Of course they can't all put up big numbers in the first game, but you should still start all the major players as neither the Saints nor the Colts are known for their defenses. Of course this also means that if you have either defense you really should avoid starting it.
