Tough Week 1 Lineup Decisions

Published: Sept. 7, 2022, 4:17 p.m.

In Week 1, we're *supposed* to stick to our season-long ranks and start the guys we thought were best to draft. But in some cases, that might not be the best plan! Today we'll review our Week 1 fantasy football ranks and isolate some running backs and wide receivers we might be squeamish about using right away even if we're okay with having them for the full season, and also discuss some players who could benefit from a teammate's absence or limitations to unexpectedly seize a role. Let's get those Week 1 fantasy lineups ready! Guest: Jake Ciely of The Athletic.
