The five biggest fantasy football takeaways from Week 1 of the 2017 NFL season.

The first full slate of Sunday games is always a great experience. For many NFL fans and fantasy football owners, the feeling is better than Christmas. However, for some fantasy football owners those feelings of joy slowly disappeared as they watched their precious team get destroyed. But hey, don’t panic! It’s only Week 1.

Even though Week 1 isn’t technically over with two games left to be played on Monday Night Football, there were some big takeaways from the 13 games already played. What were they you ask?

Here are the five biggest fantasy football takeaways from Week 1.

5. Your Patriot Players Will be Fine

The Patriots and Chiefs might not have played yesterday but they were the first game to kick off Week 1 of the 2017 season. After the game was over, some people had the nerve to think and say the Patriots are in trouble. Just stop it.

Yes, the offense did not look good but it was also Week 1. Not to mention, they were playing against a team who won the hardest division in the NFL last year. The Patriots will bounce back and find their groove as early as next week when they take on the Saints who will be coming off a short week.

So all you Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Brandin Cooks owners out there just need to calm down and relax. Speaking of Cooks and the Saints, can you say #revengegame?
