What's still developing
- Week 2 is always fun because you get to see who overreacts to what happened in Week 1.
- Fantasy managers love to panic, but you shouldn't rush to judgment after one game.
- For example, you should remain confident in Ja'Marr Chase, Colston Loveland and Jaylen Waddle, among others.
- As long as they are healthy, they should perform at a high level for the majority of the season.
- Brown (ankle) for at least the next four games, and Herbert could be without Ladd McConkey (ribs) in Week 2.
- There are plenty of other examples, pro and con, of how to react to what happened in Week 1.
- Great players aren't always great for every performance.
- It just stings a little more when one of your stars struggles in Week 1.
