Welcome back to the first regular season edition of the Roto Report in 2018! It’s a new season so we have a new format. The Roto Report will focus on the best (and worst) statistical performances from the prior day with emphasis on what fantasy owners care about. This will mean the Roto Report might not come out every night at 1 EST, but we will be able to show love to those west coast teams who play the late slate of games every night!

Opening Day was yesterday so let’s recap what stood out!
