Take a long look at your fantasy squad today, friends — right now. Go. Open a new tab. Fire up the team page. Read the names out loud. Savor them.
Magnificent roster construction by you. Truly a masterclass in modern fantasy team-building. Well done.

Just in case you’d like to get a head start on that forthcoming roster overhaul, we are pleased to offer a collection of priority waiver pickups for opening week. Every player listed below is currently available in a majority of actively managed leagues.
