About this episode

The episode discusses Week 1 fantasy football quarterback and tight end rankings, start/sit decisions, and potential sleepers.

Chris Welsh, Andrew Erickson, and Pat Fitzmaurice break down the fantasy football quarterback and tight end rankings you need to set your starting lineup. The crew tackles the biggest start/sit decisions, including whether Jayden Daniels can overcome a difficult matchup, how much faith fantasy managers should have in Drake Maye, and whether Jackson Dart belongs among the top 12 quarterbacks. The guys also identify quarterbacks who could beat their Week 1 rankings, including Matthew Stafford and Malik Willis, before diving into a tight end position loaded with difficult lineup calls. Can Juwan Johnson outscore Tucker Kraft? Is Harold Fannin Jr. already a top-tier fantasy option? And how high should Dallas Goedert climb with A.J. Brown out of the lineup? Plus, find out why Mark Andrews remains one of Week 1's biggest boom-or-bust tight ends and which players offer the combination of matchup, volume, rushing upside, and touchdown potential fantasy managers should target. Get the latest Week 1 fantasy football rankings, lineup advice, sleepers, starts, sits, and expert analysis before locking in your roster.
