We don’t know which players will be the breakout stars of the season and which ones will flop. But don’t worry, I’ve done all the hard work for you. Here are my Week 1 Rankings to help you make those tough decisions.to help you make those tough decisions.
Let’s get our fantasy seasons off to a strong start. Use these rankings to your advantage, and grab the win in your week 1 matchups.
