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!

NOLA Gold's win over Seattle secures 3rd place in the Major League Rugby Eastern Conference standings

By Tina Howell • April 28, 2025
After a weather-delayed kickoff, loyal NOLA Gold fans were treated to a rollercoaster of a match that ended with a well-earned 44-36 victory over the Seattle Seawolves at the Shrine. This win moved NOLA Gold into 3rd place in the Major League Rugby Eastern Conference standings. Coach Danny Lee said of the team's response to the delay, “We just had to control the controllables. Once we told the boys the definitive time for kickoff, we had a plan ready to go. In terms of game plan, we had to be a little bit more direct, and we had to kick and adapt quickly.” NOLA Gold set the tone early, taking an initial 3-0 lead thanks to a steady penalty kick from Dorian Jones. Though Seattle answered quickly with a try to make it 7-3, the Gold launched into a dominant scoring stretch. Isaac Te Tamaki powered across the try line to ignite the offense, followed by back-to-back tries from the relentless Jonah Mau’u. Jones continued to add points from the tee, stretching the Gold’s lead to 27-7. Just before halftime, the Seawolves found a breakthrough and scored at the buzzer, narrowing the margin to 27-14. However, NOLA emerged from the locker room with purpose. Xavier Mignot wasted no time reestablishing momentum with a try that pushed the lead to 34-14. Seattle fought back with intensity, capitalizing on back-to-back tries to bring the score to 34-24. But NOLA responded with composure, as Jones added another penalty to keep the visitors at bay, 37-24. The closing stages of the match saw both teams exchanging blows. Seattle’s try was met by a decisive moment from Joe Taufete’e, who muscled through defenders for a critical score. Luke Campbell’s conversion extended the lead to 44-29. Though Seattle scored one final try at the buzzer, it wasn’t enough. With a final score of 44-36, NOLA Gold walked away with a crucial five-point win in front of a roaring home crowd and strengthens their postseason hopes with a firm grip on 3rd place in the East. Their next match will be on the road against the San Diego Legion on May 4th at 4:00 PM CT. For tickets and more details, please visit www.nolagoldrugby.com
