Frank Ammirante | September 4th, 2019 

The 2019 NFL season is finally here! Tomorrow night the Green Bay Packers will travel to Chigaco to face the Bears to kick off the NFL’s 100th season. Fantasy owners have waited all summer long for this and it’s finally here. Below I have given you my week one rankings based on PPR scoring. 

Quarterbacks

1Deshaun Watsonat Saints
2Baker Mayfieldvs Titans
3Lamar Jacksonat Dolphins
4Russell Wilsonvs Bengals
5Jameis Winstonvs 49ers

19Mitchell Trubiskyvs Packers
20Matt Ryanvs Vikings
21Philip Riversvs Colts
22Kirk Cousinsvs Falcons
23Ben Roethlisbergerat Patriots
24Sam Darnoldvs Bills

Watson has the best chance to finish as QB1 this week against the Saints in a shootout that has a total of 53 points. The Texans will have to play catch-up to keep up with the high-octane Saints’ offense. The dark horse for QB1 this week is Winston, who has a great matchup at home verse a weak 49ers’ secondary. It’s a shootout game with a 50 point total.

31Latavius Murrayvs Texans
32Tevin Colemanat Buccaneers
33Derrius Guiceat Eagles
34Royce Freemanat Raiders
35Kenyan Drakevs Ravens
36Devin Singletaryat Jets

Kamara has the best chance to finish as RB1 in a shootout game with the Texans. There’s going to be a ton of points in this game and I don’t think it will be a blowout, so Kamara has tons of upside this week. The dark horse for RB1 is Fournette, as the Jaguars will need to put up points to keep up with the Chiefs’ offense. Fournette is going to be used more in the passing game and the Chiefs’ run defense is weak.

Wide Receivers

43Emmanuel Sandersat Raiders
44Larry Fitzgeraldvs Lions
45Devin Funchessat Chargers
46Courtland Suttonat Raiders
47Trey Quinnat Eagles
48DeVante Parkervs Ravens

Evans has the best chance to finish as WR1 in a great matchup and home against a weak 49ers’ secondary. This game has shootout potential and Evans should be able to torch the San Fran secondary. The dark horse for WR1 is Golladay, who faces a weak Arizona secondary that will be without its top two corners, including standout Patrick Peterson. The Cardinals will play fast so this game has shootout potential.

20Kyle Rudolphvs Falcons
21Will Disslyvs Bengals
22Jack Doyleat Chargers
23Jason Wittenvs Giants
24Darren Wallervs Broncos

Kittle has the best chance to finish as TE1 against a weak Buccaneers’ defense in a shootout game. Kittle will have several opportunities to score a touchdown here. Andrews is the dark horse to finish as TE1, as he goes up against one of the weakest defenses in football in Miami. Andrews has been the standout of Ravens’ camp and has a great chance for a big game here.

D/STs

RankTeamOpponent
   
1Philadelphia Eaglesvs Redskins
2Baltimore Ravensat Dolphins
3Cleveland Brownsvs Titans
4Dallas Cowboysvs Giants
5Seattle Seahawksvs Bengals
6Los Angeles chargersvs Colts
7Denver Broncosat Raiders
8Chicago Bearsvs Packers
9New York Jetsvs Bills
10Buffalo Billsat Jets
11New Orleans Saintsvs Texans
12New England Patriotsvs Steelers

The Eagles have the best chance to finish as D/ST1 against a Redskins offense with Case Keenum at quarterback and without standout left tackle Trent Williams. Expect them to rack up sacks and turnovers. The dark horse for D/ST1 would be the Bills, whose stout pass defense could pose problems for Darnold and lead to a few turnovers.
