Week 1 Fantasy Football Starts of the Week

Let's get into it!

WEEK 1 FANTASY FOOTBALL STARTS OF THE WEEK!


QBs


Jared Goff - This game has the highest o/u of the week. This will be a fun game to watch. Goff is simply different at home.


Kyler Murray - This game has the 5th highest o/u of the week. Murray has dual threat ability. The Cardinals defense is not great, so Murray will have a ton of opportunity.


Jordan Love - This game has the 4th highest o/u of the week. Love had an extremely strong finish last season. He has a ton of pass catchers.


Matthew Stafford - This game has the highest o/u of the week. Stafford will have lots of opportunity to feed his pass catchers while trying to match Goff's performance this week. He said he is "ready" to hear the angry Lions fans.



Bs


Kenneth Walker III - The Broncos gave up the 2nd most points to the rb position last year. With the passing game Seattle has, Walker should run wild.


James Cook - The Cardinals gave up the most points to the rb position last year. Cook will have a full workload.


Javonte Williams - The Seahawks gave up the 3rd most points to the rb position last year. Williams does not have much competition for touches in the backfield.


Chuba Hubbard - While the Saints defense will be stout, Hubbard will be very involved in the offensive game plan. He has big pass catching upside.



WRs


Malik Nabers - Nabers is truly alone in the Giants offense. He will be peppered with targets. The Vikings gave up the 6th most points to the WR position.


Keon Coleman - Josh Allen is a top 2/3 fantasy QB, I cannot understand why Coleman is ranked so low. Coleman has big play potential.


Courtland Sutton - Seattle gave up the 12th most points to WRs last season. Bo Nix will have to throw the ball to someone. Sutton is the top pass catcher in this offense.


Drake London - London is in a great spot for fantasy owners, with Kyle Pitts dinged up going into this one. Kirk Cousins will spread the ball around, but London has top target potential.



TEs


Brock Bowers - Outside of Davonte Adams in this offense, the Raiders do not have a lot of targets. Bowers has the potential to be a real PPR threat.


Pat Friermuth - Friermuth is the number 2 in this offense. It will be interesting to see how Russell Wilson utilizes Friermuth.


Zach Ertz - #sickostartoftheweek - Ertz has the potential to be a true outlet for rookie Jayden Daniels to lean on. Rookie QBs always throw to their TEs.


Taysom Hill - Hill may very well see playing time at QB, RB, WR, and TE. He is a true redzone threat. He can possibly become a cheat code.



K


Jake Bates - TRIFECTA - Highest o/u, at home, and in a dome


Joshua Karty - Perfect combo - Highest o/u and in a dome


Cairo Santos - Santos may have a lot of opportunity here.


Matt Gay - 2nd highest o/u - This may turn into a shootout in a hurry.



DST


Bengals - This Patriots offense may struggle.


Saints - This Saints defense has the potential to feast this weekend.


Seahawks - Rookie Bo Nix may make a few mistakes in this one. A big chance for turnovers.


Vikings - Daniel Jones has been known to turn the ball over.


A quick share helps us a lot!

Team Stats (Trail Blazers at Pelicans) Final Score: 120-143 Rebounds: 419-57 Assists: 27-36 Blocks: 7-8 Steals: 5-10 Turnovers: 15-8 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Shaedon Sharpe, 21; Trey Murphy III, 24 Rebound Leaders: Kris Murray, 9; Yves Missi, Saddiq Bey, 8 Assist Leaders: Deni Avdija, 6; Derik Queen, 7 My Player of the Game: Derik Queen Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The Pelicans have won their fourth game of the season. Yay ! * Jordan Poole was back tonight and he made a world of difference. His three-point shooting, confidence, and leadership were a ton of help. * Derik Queen is a problem for all other 29 teams in this league. This kid has a vision that hasn't been seen in any recent rookies, especially for a center. * Bryce McGowens was the second-leading scorer in this game with 23 points. He's stepped up in a big way. * In surprising news, Zion Williamson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in what seems like years that Zion's health is actually improving much sooner than projected. Whether this is a sign of Zion pushing himself or James Borrego pushing him, it's nice to see. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
