Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings: Quarterbacks
With a Week 1 matchup against the Bears, Trey Lance cracks the top 10.
Finally! We made it! It’s Week 1, and it’s Tuesday. Because of the Labor Day holiday we are already on Tuesday. We’re now less than two days from the regular season kickoff at Thursday Night Football when the Rams host the Bills. I hope you are ready to dive into this week’s NFL slate. Chiefs at Cardinals–Patrick Mahomes and Kyler Murray is one game I am looking forward to. That matchup has highest over/under point total (53.5) over at SI Sportsbook. Another potential shootout is the Bengals vs. Cowboys game (O/U 51). These two games feature some the most talented fantasy players in the country so it’s not surprising that markets are expecting fireworks.
My rankings: QB | RB | WR | TE | FLEX | K | DST
