The NFL season is upon us and Week 1 is an important week in Fantasy Football. So many months of speculation, rankings, mock drafts and charts. As far as the tight end position goes, I think we all can agree that Rob Gronkowski of the Patriots and Jimmy Graham of the Saints are the top two in the NFL, hands down. If you don't have either of these guys, it is important to realize the drop off of talent and clear expectations of scoring is big. This week is no exception. The most important thing you can do as a commissioner is break down the match-up as best as you can.The defenses are yet to be established but if teams have little player changes or the same coaching staff as 2011, it can be easier to project how the defense will line up against your players. The best starts at the tight end position for Week 1 will be tough, but I feel that these guys can get 'er done for your squad.

The Panthers are reportedly preparing for life without Stewart, which would move DeAngelo Williams into a solid RB2, or even low RB1, roll this week in all formats.
