D-Man's Week 1 Sunday Games Starts & Sits By: Daniel Schreiber
I am Dan "D-Man" Schreiber from the Empty The Bench Podcast Network. Based on my three fantasy football PPR teams, I will explain what players you should start and sit for the Week 1 Sunday games. Besides my three teams, I will discuss other players to start and sit for the week 1 Sunday games for PPR leagues. Based on my three fantasy football teams, I recommend the players to start and sit.
Start
QB: Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence
RB: Derrick Henry, Dameon Pierce, Austin Ekeler, Rhamondre Stevenson, Bijan Robinson, and Travis Etienne
WR: Chris Olave, DJ Moore, and Chris Godwin
TE: Dallas Goedert and Darren Waller
W/R/T: Terry McLaurin and Courtland Sutton
DEF: Bills & Saints
K: Tyler Bass, Jason Sanders, and Graham Gano
Sit
RB: Samaje Perine, James Cook, Alvin Kamara, Brian Robinson, De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, and Elijah Mitchell
WR: Nico Collins, Jonathan Mingo, Christian Kirk, JuJu Smith-Shuster, and Marquise Brown
In one of my teams, I have Terry McLaurin and Christian Kirk. I'm currently starting McLaurin in my W/R/T. McLaurin is starting so far on Sunday. He's still recovering from a turf toe injury. If you have McLaurin and Kirk on your teams and McLaurin does not play Sunday, start Kirk over McLaurin.
Here are the players I recommend to start and sit beside my teams.
Start
QB: Josh Allen, Justin Fields, Tua Tagovailoa, and Aaron Rodgers
RB: Christian McCaffrey, Nick Chubb, Aaron Jones, and Alexander Mattison
WR: Justin Jefferson, Garrett Wilson, Keenan Allen and DK Metcalf
TE: Mark Andrew, Kyle Pitts, Dalton Kincaid, and Cole Kmet
DEF: 49ers, Ravens, Commanders, and Jaguars
K: Justin Tucker, Younghoe Koo, Greg Joseph, and Chris Boswell
Sit
QB: Joe Burrow, Deshaun Watson, Dak Prescott, and Kenny Pickett
RB: Saquon Barkley, Joe Mixon, Breece Hall, and Miles Sanders
WR: CeeDee Lamb, Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp, and Amari Cooper
TE: George Kittle, David Njoku, Dalton, Schultz, and Hayden Hurst
DEF: Cowboys, Patriots, Browns, and Buccaneers
K: Daniel Carlson, Jake Elliot, Will Lutz, and Jake Moody
I know CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper are great WRs. I recommended to sit them because of their QB's Dak Prescott and Deshaun Watson. Prescott and Watson are not going to perform as well in Week 1. You could roll the dice and start Lamb and Cooper. Hopefully, Prescott and Watson will perform well so they don't end up hurting Lamb and Cooper's performance.
Hopefully, my advice helps you with your Week 1 PPR fantasy football league matchups. Good Luck!
