We are officially to the last Sunday of the 2017 calendar that will not feature NFL action! The regular season starts this coming Thursday, and next Sunday will feature a full slate of action. In the meantime, we spend today tracking practice squad signings and waiver wire maneuvering! The most notable move today saw the Buffalo Bills release running back Jonathan Williams. It was quite a surprise!

2017 fantasy football drafts are wrapping up over the coming days, and today is one of the biggest for fantasy drafts. With that in mind, the SB Nation Fantasy War Room is open well into the evening, answering all your fantasy football questions until 9 p.m. ET. If you can’t see the comments at the bottom of the article, click here.

Today is when teams can place players on injured reserve while retaining the option of returning them during the season. We could see some important names end up on IR today, which will shake up fantasy drafts to a certain degree. Keep an eye on those names as they could slip a decent amount in your draft.

The War Room is wrapping up our August/September draft schedule this week. We will be operating from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET Monday through Friday and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. These hours will take us to the Thursday kickoff opener later this week.

Today’s war room will feature fantasy analyst Zachary Senvisky answering questions. Drop in the comments with any questions you have to get ready for your fantasy drafts and the 2017 fantasy football season!

Fantasy football drafts require hitting on your high picks, but factoring in potential sleepers and busts is critical to winning your league. There will be players in the first couple of rounds who flame out, and you’ll find a player in round 10 or 11 who is the key to victory. Each week, we have taken a look at how potential sleepers and busts have performed to give you an idea of whom to consider and avoid in your drafts.

There is a host of new rookies in the NFL each season, and they can be critical to your success. If you are in a dynasty or keeper league, they hold a little more value, but even in single-year leagues, there will be rookies worth considering in your drafts. Here is Week 1 and Week 2 preseason rookie analysis.
