The NLL Fantasy Game begins in less than a week as the 2013 National Lacrosse League regular season kicks off on Saturday, Jan. 5 when the Rochester Knighthawks begin their title defense on the road against the Washington Stealth. Build a weekly roster under the salary cap, compete against other managers, and prove you have what it takes to own the turf.

Fantasy owners should comprise their rosters with only Knighthawks and Stealth players for the first week before NLL action gets into full gear the following weekend.
