ESPN fantasy football analyst Tristan H. Cockcroft has published guidance for fantasy managers looking to bolster their benches following Week 1 of the NFL season, according to the outlet.
The article, titled "Fantasy football buzz: The players to stash for your bench after Week 1," is aimed at fantasy participants who experienced setbacks during the season's opening slate of games, ESPN reported.
According to ESPN's summary, Cockcroft identifies specific players managers might want to add or retain on their rosters as the season progresses, particularly for those who encountered unfavorable outcomes in Week 1.
