Fantasy Football Week 1: Key Player Situations To Monitor

As the 2024 fantasy football season kicks off with Week 1 action, managers across leagues are eager to see how their rosters perform. With a focus on player usage and offensive deployment, there are several key situations to monitor as the season gets underway.

One player drawing attention is Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Despite showing promise and strong performances towards the end of last season, Lawrence had a surprisingly low average draft position (ADP) of QB18. With an offense that has been revamped to support him, Lawrence has the potential to finish as a top-10 quarterback this season.

Another player to watch is wide receiver Dell, who has been overshadowed by his teammates in fantasy drafts. However, Dell has shown the ability to produce solid numbers even with limited targets, making him a flex starter in all formats.

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Williams is set to make his first pro start in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. With a challenging matchup ahead, Williams will need to rely on his playmaking abilities and the offensive scheme to put up fantasy-relevant numbers.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver London is entering a season with high expectations, reflected in his ADP ahead of established names. With a new offensive system in place, London will need to showcase his skills in Week 1 against a tough Pittsburgh Steelers defense to live up to the hype.

In Cincinnati, running backs Moss and Brown offer different skill sets for fantasy managers to consider. While Moss is expected to handle rushing volume, Brown's versatility in the passing game could provide value in deeper leagues.

Lastly, the Green Bay Packers boast a talented group of wide receivers, including Watson, Reed, Doubs, and Wicks. With the potential for explosive plays and solid performances, these receivers could be valuable assets for fantasy teams throughout the season.
