START - GET THEM IN YOUR LINEUP

Quarterbacks:
Lamar Jackson (BAL)
While this won’t be a constant as we move forward this season, we must preach starting the Ravens Lamar Jackson for week one. Facing off against the Dolphins, in what could be wet conditions, this contest has the makings of being run heavy which will favor Jackson and the Baltimore running game. This should be a slam dunk for fantasy production against a weak Miami defense. 

Drew Brees (NO)
The Monday night double header begins with the Saints and the Texans. While Drew Brees is virtually a must start every week, we really love the potential for massive production against this Texans secondary. The Saints will be ready to roll in what could be a shootout of sorts and Brees will be a large earner. Start with extreme confidence. 

Jared Goff (LAR)
If you have followed our offseason evaluations, this won’t be much of a surprise. We are all in on Jared Goff this season and truly believe he will flourish in most contests. Taking travel to Carolina amidst hurricane Dorian slamming the coast, everything looks clear in terms of weather and the Rams should put on a show. We aren’t overly convinced that the Panthers defense will be vastly improved, so start Goff and don’t look back.

Running Backs:
Mark Ingram (BAL)
Much like our evaluation for Lamar Jackson, we are over the moon for the potential output form Mark Ingram in a Ravens uniform. Baltimore ran the ball over 500 times last season and should again be the staple of this offense. We could easily envision 20-25 carries for Ingram, going for over 100 yards and at least one touchdown.

Leonard Fournette (JAX)
Many have jumped off the Leonard Fournette bandwagon, but we are still here preaching his potential. As the Jaguars signed Nick Foles to help create anything resembling a pass attack in Jacksonville, Fournette will have a giant role in controlling the clock to keep the ball out of Patrick Mahomes hands. 100-plus yards and an endzone trip isn’t out of the question here.

Phillip Lindsay (DEN)
With all the turmoil surrounding the Raiders and Antonio Brown, the Broncos are licking their chops at the opportunity to take advantage of all that dysfunction. Phillip Lindsay will enjoy all the work that he can handle and should find gapping holes in this Raiders secondary. If you could start Lindsay twice in your lineup, we would definitely recommend it. 

Wide Receivers:
Jarvis Landry (CLE)
The entire offseason has seen most sing the praise of Odell Beckham Jr being the Browns leading receiver with potential to break NFL records. Let’s not forget about Jarvis Landry and his elite ability which will be showcased on Sunday. Landry will act as the safety blanket for Baker Mayfield seeing lesser coverage come his way. While Beckham Jr will have monster games, Landry will be a season long steady earner for this team. Start Landry this week and laugh at all those who over looked the man.

Amari Cooper (DAL)
The Dallas Cowboys averted disaster when Zeke Elliott found his way back to the team with a new lucrative contract extension. With that coming to pass, Amari Cooper’s value again lifted extremely high as the play action pass will be a thing of beauty in Dallas. We have always been fans of Cooper, but this season should be a fun one to watch.

Larry Fitzgerald (ARZ)
With Larry Fitzgerald defying father time, this week we should witness what will come to pass with this Cardinals offense. Behind rookie Kyler Murray, we have no fear that Fitzgerald will have a very strong contest with the potential at finding pay-dirt. There is a level of risk here, but we are comfortable to suggest it. 

Tight-Ends:
Mark Andrews (BAL)
Basically, we are recommending most Ravens to go off this week, but with how this offense is built, heavy run and the short pass will dominate the plan. Mark Andrews will feast on a line backing core that literally has no noteworthy names to stop him. Double digit fantasy points will transpire.

Darren Waller (OAK)
With Antonio Brown no longer on the club, the Raiders and coach Jon Gruden will be scrambling to adjust their game plan leaving Darren Waller a massive benefiter. Waller has made waves this offseason and will be thrust into this one with a potential heavy workload. There is risk attached here, but we would take the shot. 


SIT - LEAVE THEM ON THE BENCH
   
Quarterbacks:
Sam Darnold (NYJ)
While its clear that many like what the Jets have done this offseason for this offense, we must place Sam Darnold on our bench for week one going up against the Bills stout defense. LeVeon Bell should be the vocal point for the game plan leaving Darnold to have a relatively slack day. His time will come, but not this week.

Running Backs:
Kenyan Drake (MIA)
The Baltimore Ravens again have recreated the defense to look fast and punishing which has been a common thread over the years. As the Dolphins look to be in full tank mode, the only thing saving players like Kenyan Drake is garbage time points. This game should get out of hand early, leaving a late fourth quarter touchdown possible. However, we aren’t willing to bet on it. Keep him on the bench.

Damien Williams (KC)
We weren’t on the Damien Williams train, and still will not endorse for week one. With the arrival of LeSean McCoy to the club, the value week-to-week in our eyes is slim until we see proof of usage. It surely doesn’t help that the Chiefs take travel to Jacksonville and will be hard pressed against this elite defensive unit. Keep him on the bench at least for week one.

Wide Receivers:
DJ Moore (CAR)
Even though we still have a great appreciation for Cam Newton, we must recommend leaving DJ Moore on the bench as the Panthers face off verse one of the better secondaries in the NFL. Now being the team’s true number one target, this won’t be the day he shines.

TY Hilton (IND)
Before the season began, we had TY Hilton as one of our favorite players at the receiver position. Now with Andrew Luck no longer an NFL quarterback, we are back to debating Hilton on a weekly basis. Even though the Chargers have issues on the defensive side (injuries), its out of straight fear that Jacoby Brissett won’t find Hilton with consistency.

Tight-Ends:
Delanie Walker (TEN)
Almost being completely off the Titans support train, we must caution the play of Delanie Walker. Coming off his season ending injury, it appears he has passed the test and will suit up. This will be a monster risk play and we can’t endorse it whatsoever.


POTENTIAL BIG DAY – ALL ABOUT THE RISK/REWARD

Quarterbacks:
Jimmy Garoppolo (SF)
We continue to see the masses question the 49ers starting pivot and rightfully so. Jimmy Garoppolo hasn’t done near enough to prove his doubter wrong, but we could see it happen this week verse the Buccaneers. If you are playing swapping quarterbacks this season, Garoppolo could have a very big day as the 49ers start to role.  

Running Backs:
Duke Johnson (HOU)
Always being supporters of Duke Johnson, we finally will see his arrival to the high-end conversation. Now playing on a team that is loaded with talent and will expel his skill, Johnson will have every opportunity to prove his worth. We can easily see 20 touches for Johnson against the Saints.

Chris Carson (SEA)
We absolutely love what the Seahawks have done with their roster and truly fell they are a dark horse to make massive waves in the NFC. With Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf ready to blow the top off of defenses, there is no situation where any defense can stack the box on Seattle. Playing at home against a vulnerable Bengals squad, Carson eats his dinner and licks the plate. 

Derrius Guice (WAS)
The wait will finally be over for Derrius Guice to showcase his ability after missing his entire rookie season to injury. Washington invested a great deal into the young man and will provide every shot for him to make plays. While this week’s matchup isn’t glorious, Guice should have a sound day and could rack up garbage time points to help his case.

Wide Receivers:
Chris Godwin (TB)
As the 49ers continue their rebuilding ways, Chris Godwin should feast off of lesser coverage to his direction with Mike Evans pulling all of Richard Sherman. Tampa Bay is a very interesting group and will be something to watch. Godwin should flash this week in a supportive role to Evans.

DeSean Jackson (PHI)    
There`s nothing like a home coming and a revenge game of sorts for DeSean Jackson. Jackson never wanted to leave Philadelphia and will show the league he is still the deep burner we all knew. Now back with the Eagles against one of his former clubs, Jackson will find the endzone at least once.

Tight-Ends:
Hunter Henry (LAC)
The return of Hunter Henry from his lost season and no Antonio Gates to stand in his way, we will finally see what this man can accomplish. Henry is a very gifted player but has been forgotten over the course of his recovery. Get ready for Henry to ball-out on Sunday. 

TJ Hockenson (DET)
As the Detroit Lions look to make noise in the NFC south, TJ Hockenson will enjoy a massive role under Matt Patricia, much like Rob Gronkowski had in New England. Patricia is trying his best to recreate the Patriot way in Detroit, and believe us when we say, Hockenson should be a big part of that. We would like to see it on the field for confirmation, but we will already preach it for week one.
