Harris Fantasy Football Podcast

Most of our fantasy football drafts are over, and now it's time to think about what the heck our teams will look like in Week 1. On today's show we'll isolate a few situations worth tracking, because a lingering injury might mean a player you drafted to be a starter *won't* play in Week 1, and we'll have some waiver suggestions in such cases. Largely, though, we'll advise you to play your guys and not worry too much about matchups opening weekend! Guest: Brandon Funston of The Athletic.

Tough Week 1 Lineup Decisions

In Week 1, we're *supposed* to stick to our season-long ranks and start the guys we thought were best to draft. But in some cases, that might not be the best plan! Today we'll review our Week 1 fantasy football ranks and isolate some running backs and wide receivers we might be squeamish about using right away even if we're okay with having them for the full season, and also discuss some players who could benefit from a teammate's absence or limitations to unexpectedly seize a role. Let's get those Week 1 fantasy lineups ready! Guest: Jake Ciely of The Athletic.
