Fantasy Football

The Facts:
Within hours of the NFL telling teams they could begin to open their facilities to players, the Lions scheduled their first organized team activities of 2011. The NFL agency X-A-M Sports, which represents at least one Lions player, spread the word on Twitter that Lions players have been told to report for a team meeting on Monday, and that OTAs will start on Wednesday. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Of course, as PFT's Michael David Smith points out, it’s still possible that those OTAs will have to be canceled if the NFL wins its motion for a stay of the order ending the lockout. These are uncertain times in the NFL, and we’re all waiting to see what happens in the next few days. But for now, the Lions are moving quickly to get back to work. Look for other teams to follow suit.
