We did it! We fought through another football offseason and suffered through an injury-packed preseason. But now, we’re finally here: NFL week one! This week can set the tone for the rest of the season for professional and fantasy teams alike. From a fantasy point of view, much of the fantasy football rankings and opinions are a result of seasons past. There’s only so much to gain from watching preseason football, so do not be surprised to see unknown players scoring in the top-10 or preseason favorites flopping.
In an attempt to avoid some of the surprise, you ventured here to see my PPR week one rankings. Bookmark this page or do whatever you must do to find your way back, because I will be updating these rankings regularly throughout the week!
