Scott Engel is in his 10th season as the official Fantasy writer and analyst for Seahawks.com. Scott is an inaugural member of the Fantasy Sports Writers Association's Hall of Fame.

Scott won two Fantasy Football dynasty league titles in 2020, including one in the prestigious Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) and he previously pulled off a three-peat in a highly competitive New York City league.
For the Seahawks, it was a good week of Fantasy performances from the passing game in the season opener at Indianapolis. Russell Wilson posted 27.06 Fantasy points on NFL.com, as he threw for 254 yards and four TDs. Tyler Lockett scored 26 points, catching four passes for 100 yards and two TDs. DK Metcalf finished with 16 points, catching four passes for 60 yards and a TD.
If you had any of those three Seahawks players on your roster, they may have boosted you to an opening week victory in a Week 1 Fantasy matchup. It's great to start out with a win, but in most leagues, there will be 13 more weeks of the regular season still to go. There is a lot more work to be done. Conversely, if you ended up in the loss column, it is best to be patient and have confidence in the best players that were drafted.
Players such as Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Ezekiel Elliott and Allen Robinson have strong potential to deliver even better outings in the next week or two. If you do not roster any of those players, now is the time to see if you can acquire them in a trade. For those that do have those players on their teams, you should only consider trade offers that have the draft day values of those performers built into the deal. Their true value to your team is not determined by one week of performances.
When you are making trades in the early season, or at any time during the year, there are some recommended approaches to take. First, you must identify the right trade partner. If you need to acquire a running back and are deep at wide receiver, find a team in your league that has a good stock of RBs and needs help at WR. Also, most trades should have at least one of two goals in mind, to either fill a need or make a significant upgrade overall. If the trade is a "wash" and includes similarly valued players at the same positions, then you are not accomplishing much.
One week of player results does not truly set the tone for the entire regular season in many cases. Take advantage of such mindsets in your early-season trade dealings, but do not make a hasty move when it comes to your own rosters. We saw Wilson, Lockett and Metcalf deliver as hoped and expected in Week 1. Signature performances from other top Fantasy players on other NFL teams will likely follow even if they did not provide the expected output just yet.
