Congratulations, you did it. You survived the last Sunday without NFL football until February.

That’s right, folks, the 2015 NFL season kicks off Thursday night when the Steelers and Patriots square off for the title of most disliked team in the league. I would advise resting up Friday and Saturday because the avalanche of wings, beer and good times can overwhelm even the most seasoned veteran.

I would also advise sneaking into any last minute fantasy drafts and setting those lineups by Thursday.

For those of you still waiting anxiously to draft your team, listed below are some players to target and others to avoid like the plague. And for you overachievers with your roster ready to go, read on for some lineup tweaking tips for Week One.

Oh, and to all you significant others out there expecting some nice Sunday brunches on the horizon: February is a great time for some brunch!

Doctor’s orders

I suggest a steady diet of players like these in the middle rounds for a low-stress fantasy season.

Lamar Miller: He quietly put together a plus-thousand yard, eight-touchdown 2014 season and all signs point to him breaking out even more this time around. With a revamped offense in Miami, Miller will have plenty of goal line carries, especially with no other back challenging him whatsoever. He’s gold for PPR leagues since Ryan Tannehill loves checking down to his backs. Miller is a top-10 RB but still flies under the radar.

Julian Edelman: The fact this guy isn’t a projected top-15 receiver every season amazes me. The former special teamer has become Tom Brady’s favorite target not named Gronk and is positioned for even more grabs this season. The Patriots have poor depth at receiver, so if Edelman stays healthy, he’s a good bet for 100 catches. He’s near WR1 territory in PPR leagues.

Teddy Bridgewater: This may be a stretch, but Teddy is only supposed to get better. His third pro year might be his real breakout campaign, but with Adrian Peterson back, Bridgewater could see plenty of bare secondaries this season. Take him as a top-tier backup QB with the potential to end up starting.

Hazardous for your health

If you enjoy pulling your hair out and being ridiculed by all your closest friends, then you should definitely draft these guys.

Joseph Randle: He is currently ranked 17th among RBs by Yahoo! That puts him above guys like Alfred Morris, Carlos Hyde and Jonathan Stewart. No, no, no. Randle will be part of a three-back committee in Dallas this season and no one knows who is the best of the bunch. Stay away, no matter how good their offensive line is.

Zach Ertz: The young, athletic tight end has plenty of promise in Chip Kelly’s high-octane system, but he’s coming off groin surgery and has yet to earn Kelly’s trust. If Ertz doesn’t play the first few games, that gives Kelly an excuse to play Brent Celek, who may establish a stronghold on the starting job.

Aging receivers: The main two to avoid are Larry Fitzgerald and Roddy White, who were each dominant in their primes but are close to retirement. Others who can still contribute but will be outplayed by younger options on their respective teams include Andre Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Vincent Jackson and surprisingly, Calvin Johnson, who has aged quicker because of injuries.

Week one notes

There are so many short-term injuries and suspensions this season, which means plenty of players will be relevant for the first week or two before disappearing back into insignificance. Here are some of those poor souls that you might be able to scoop up off waivers.

Tre Mason: If he plays on Sunday, he’ll be the Rams’ lead back against Seattle and will probably hold that role until Todd Gurley is unleashed. If not, then this spot belongs to Benny Cunningham. Again, this is against Seattle, so tread with caution.

DeAngelo Williams: All-world running back Le’Veon Bell is suspended for two weeks, so Williams is a nice add until then. He’s expected to have the same exact role as Bell would, just with less effectiveness.

Whoever gets carries in New England. LeGarrette Blount is suspended a week, so someone on the Pats has to carry the ball, right? Someone’s going to emerge as a flex play out of Dion Lewis, Brandon Bolden and James White. My guess would be White. Curse you, Belichick, destroyer of fantasy dreams.

Defense of the week: The Jets. They’re playing the Browns. ‘Nuff said.
