NFL Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings

The NFL is here and it’s time to focus on fantasy football!  We’ve got our week 1 fantasy football rankings ready to help you win your fantasy football league.  We rank quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, kickers and defenses.  We also offer fantasy football tips on who to stay away from as well.

We project the Patriots will be the highest scoring team this week.  After winning his appeal last week, Brady should be out to set the world ablaze.  Look for him to try to break the passing TD record Peyton Manning set on opening night two years ago.
