The wait is finally over … well, almost. Waiting for Week 1 of the NFL season has required nearly as much patience as biding our time until the final Spider-Verse movie drops (June 2027), but we made it, and now it’s time to stress over your Week 1 fantasy football lineups. If you’re new to these, welcome, and get ready for rankings mixed with notes, insights, upside start suggestions, and, of course, because I’m a ’90s kid who never grew up, video game and pop culture references, and more.Fantasy football concierge 👀Before we get into the “norm,” you will want to check this out!You know there’s nothing I enjoy more than chatting it up with you in the comments — whether talking movies, DuckTales, or answering your start/sit questions.Occasionally, I need to take a break from analyzing fantasy questions to, say, eat, sleep, play with the pups and let my wife know I exist in the NFL season.

This year, each skill position will still have notes for potential changes based on news, injuries, weather, etc. Rankings are updated all week and always before kickoff on game day (except Monday, because they’re locked).
