It's tilt week! Historically, between week 2 and 3 fantasy managers tilt to epic proportions, to "save their teams". If you don't want to be that guy or gal that sells low and buys high, check out what the Average Pros have to say about the aftermath of week 2. Also, find out why Jonathan is taking such a sudden interest in farms and land.

Sifting through NFL week 1 results is a lot like patting your head and rubbing your stomach, while standing on one foot and chewing bubble gum. Possible, but proceed with caution. Per usual, the Average Pros throw caution to the wind and highlight which storylines are FACTS and which ones should be ignored as FLUFF. Also, it's never too early to take a few victory laps. See where our preseason takes hit and where we might be "eating Crow" for lack of a better term. Sorry Braden.
