Early deadline to set lineups: Lions-Falcons in London

Good morning, sports fans! As you're probably aware, the first game this Sunday is between the Lions and the Falcons across the pond at Wembley Stadium in London which is pretty awesome. But for fantasy owners in the Western Hemisphere, the game starts a lot earlier than we're used to.

For folks on the east coast, kickoff is at 9:30am, which means 6:30am for those on the west (best) coast. So consider this a stern reminder to set your lineups early!

So set an alarm or maybe two of them, and don't hit the snooze button! It's cool, it's not like you have to go to work. Just set your lineup and doze off again. Or better yet, get your butt out of bed and actually watch the game while you scarf down some donuts. Because it's going to be a good one, and by the time it's over, the rest of the Week 8 games will be starting anyway.

Alright, enough of this rambling on. It's time to dive into the player-by-player breakdown of this marquee matchup.
