Depending on what players you drafted in your Fantasy Football League this year, Week One of the 2015 NFL season starts tonight with the New England Patriots taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers in some Thursday night football action.

Before we go any further, we should explain that though these "tips" come from credible Fantasy Football source, they're not guarantees in anyway. Understand your league's scoring system and trust your own judgment, but the following should at least help you out in some way.
According to Fantasy Pros' report of who to start and who to sit, Brady's suspension lift will be positive for owners of Julian Edelman, the QB's top WR target. Edelman is sure to prove useful in PPR leagues, but he could surprise in regular leagues, too. Meanwhile, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson doesn't have a promising outlook in Week One, so sit him if you have a solid backup.
In regards to the first week's sleepers, USA Today has us covered with this video report:
Owners should also take into consideration the competition. For instance, Matt Ryan might have been a backup or late round QB pick, but this week he's playing against the Eagles' defense, which bodes well for Fantasy Football points. According to RotoWorld's Week One report, Eli Manning is also a good QB to start, with his Giants taking on the Cowboys.
