Now’s the time to start thinking about setting your lineups, and we’re here to help with our initial fantasy player rankings! I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which you can use in coordination with the Week 1 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we have you completely covered!
At the quarterback position, you’ll see the big names all ranked prominently with a couple of exceptions. Those are Geno Smith and Kirk Cousins, who are both top-12 plays based on their respective matchups against the Rams and Buccaneers.
Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
