QB Rankings, Week 1

This week has some prime time matchups of top QBs. Mahomes vs. Watson. Brees vs. Brady. Wilson vs. Ryan. And there are some tasty plays like Ben Roethlisberger at the Giants and Josh Allen taking on the Jets. And don’t dump dirt on Aaron Rodgers when he is taking on a very green Viking secondary. Here are the rankings for Week 1:

Adentro y Afuera, Week 1

For the first season with Familia FFB offering fantasy football advice, we’re introducing a different take on the normal Start Em/Sit Em columns. Paying homage to our raza, we’re anointing this column Adentro y Afuera. In or Out.

If you’re Adentro, you have a good matchup where the arrows are pointing toward starting the player. Afuera, well, you want that player out of your lineup.

RB Rankings, Week 1

If you were so lucky to draft #1 and got Christian McCaffrey, you’re smiling at the matchup with a Raider D that did not strike fear into any teams’ hearts last year. Derrick Henry should continue his 2019 roll against a Denver D that has been hit hard with injuries. Beware Saquon Barkley against the intense Steeler D. Here are the rankings for Week 1:

WR Rankings, Week 1

We talked all offseason about how deep the WR position is. Well, on this list Odell Beckham Jr. and Amari Cooper are both in the WR3 tier (granted they have tough matchups). The guys at the top of the list have varying types of degree of difficulty, but some guys like Michael Thomas and Davante Adams you just keep up with the best of the best. Here are the rankings for Week 1:

TE Rankings, Week 1

Who do you like more? George Kittle against the Arizona D that was the worst in the league defending the TE? Travis Kelce opening up against the Texans? Zach Ertz barely nudges past Mark Andrews in a week both have great matchups. Here are the rankings for Week 1:

Los Waivers: Week 1

It’s here. Finally here. Thinking back 6 months ago when things went sideways both locally and nationwide, an NFL season seemed all at once far off, pie the sky and incredibly necessary. Now, after the strangest offseason leading up to the most unique training camp we probably will ever see, real NFL football is going to happen on Sept. 10.

Zeke > Saquon

So you have the #2 pick in the draft. Yes, there’s the disappointment of missing out on Christian McCaffrey at 1.01, but you know you’re going to get a star player.

The Cheat Code to Drafting Lamar Jackson Early

We hear the refrain all the time in fantasy football: Wait on QB. The depth at the position screams for waiting until the 9th round and beyond at QB. According to 4for4.com, Matthew Stafford is going at the end of the 9th round. Ben Roethlisberger is going late in the 11th round. Jared Goff is going early in the 12th round. All are expected to be in charge of high-flying pass attacks, and have breezed by 4,500 yards in recent seasons. If you want to wait to take any of them, no one will blame you.

LA Chargers Preview: Changing of the Guard

The Philip Rivers era is over. Charger fans used to the side-arming, gunslinging Rivers are in for something very different in Tyrod Taylor, who’s more of a dual-threat QB who doesn’t turn the ball over nearly as much. But Taylor hasn’t been a full-time starter since 2017 with the Bills. HC Anthony Lynn was on the Bills’ staff during Taylor’s tenure, and Lynn was the RB coach. So he might like the controlled-passing game with the QB taking some chances outside the pocket.

NY Giants Preview: Believe the Hype?

There is so much hype around making Daniel Jones this year’s Lamar Jackson, it’s starting to look hard for him to live up to it. It’s eerily similar to Baker Mayfield last year. The concern here is that it’s too much too soon. His final numbers – 3,027 passing yards, 24 TD passes, 279 rushing yards and 2 TD — looked promising, but of his 13 games (12 starts), Jones had 3 blowup games with 4 or 5 TD passes. Week 16 he completed 28 of 42 passes for 352 yards and 5 TD to help teams win titles… if they started him. He had no other games with more than 2 TD.
