Fantasy Football Favorites Week 1: Preview, rankings, strategy and start/sit show with Chris Dell
Post-Gazette sports editor and fantasy football analyst Chris Dell breaks down his favorite players to start — and sit — at every position ahead of Week 1 using his top 200 rankings cheat sheet. Host Dalton Brown runs through the guys that Chris is higher and lower on vs. the FantasyPros Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR), as well as looking at optimal strategy for defenses/kickers heading into the weekend. Who are the most popular fantasy QBs that belong on benches this weekend, and what does that say about the season-long stock for guys like Dak Prescott and Brock Purdy facing tough Week 1 matchups? When is the right time to buy or fade RBs with tougher defensive opponents than others this weekend, and where does put commonly-drafted players like D'Andre Swift, Ezekiel Elliott and Kyren Williams? Why is Chris so high on Texans wide receivers Nico Collins and Tank Dell, and how does he feel about top opening week matchups to exploit for young wideouts with upside in Malik Nabers and D.J. Moore? Also, the guys look at some sleepers at tight end, D/ST and kicker to consider to wrap up the show. Chris is the founder of BettingPredators.com and the former fantasy football and sports betting lead analyst for ESPN 97.5. He recently won first place out of 235 analysts in the FantasyPros’ 2023 Fantasy Football NFL Draft Accuracy rankings competition.
