Week 1 of NFL fantasy is upon us, finally. Let’s get into some players you should start and potentially sit in the first set of matchups.

QBs

The Rams defense isn’t what it used to be and Jared Goff isn’t the player he once was with the Rams. I expect Goff to have a great game vs his old team. Goff has been a consistent fantasy producer over the past few years, although not putting up crazy numbers, he’s been consistently decent every week.

I’d start him and see him potentially putting up a top 5 QB performance for Week 1 against the Rams. With weapons like St. Brown, LaPorta, Gibbs, and others… expect a dominant performance from Goff to start the season off.

RBs

With the addition of DJ Reader and the nature of the game, I don’t expect Kyren Williams to have a very good game vs the Lions. This is most likely going to end up being a shootout through the air and we’re going to see a heavy dose of Puka/Kupp more then Kyren Williams.

WRs

I initially had Tee Higgins as a start in this section, but with his hamstring injury.. it’s best to look somewhere else. Iosivas has flashed throughout camp for the Bengals and looks to be the #2 target in the Patriots game across Ja’Marr Chase.

TEs

Gesicki will get a lot of targets out of the slot with injuries from Tee Higgins and potentially Ja’Marr Chase being limited. Gesicki has proven to be a vested veteran and security blanket for quarterbacks throughout his career, expect him to be the same for Burrow in the first week against his former team.
