And BOOM, Week 1 is here. I'm going to be honest here: my excitement level for the season has officially ratcheted up. I was feeling kind of ho-hum about football this year, but perhaps the proximity to the first games of the season has triggered some long-overdue excitement on my part. Or maybe it's the football enthusiasm coming from my son (seriously, the boy chose to watch college football instead of Dinosaur Train this weekend - can I even tell you what a coup that was for the sport of football??). But it doesn't matter why, I'll take it. Football is back, NFL, college, it's all here and I am psyched. So let's get to the Week 1 links:

- Streamers take note: FantasyPros has you covered for Week 1 with their Quarterback and Tight End Streamers: Week 1. Are there many streamers out there? Should I keep this kind of info coming?
- Earlier I posted a DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports) article from guest writer Mike - daily fantasy play is skyrocketing and I know many of you are curious about the basics, the tips and tricks it takes to play, etc. Many of the sites you know and love are rolling out DFS articles and FFToday is no exception. Here's a link to a series they have up right now called Getting Started With Daily - a bunch of helpful articles here so dive in.
- So more on the daily fantasy front - you all know I love FFNerd, right? Well he has a new product, Daily Fantasy Football League Line-Up Assistant, which helps you determine the biggest bang for you buck and it's free to all for Week 1. Try it out, see what you think.
- I think Matt Waldman is one of the smartest minds when it comes to NFL analysis so I'm trying to remember to get more of his articles out to you all so that we can collectively share in his football brain. If you're curious about his Thoughts on Christine Michael in Dallas & RSP Sample, go take a look (note: for his Weekly Gut Check column, you'll need to be a FootballGuys subscriber, but hey, I will always endorse that subscription!).
