2024-25 Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Week 1

Our weekly fantasy soccer begin ’em, sit ’em sequence options your finest bets on the ability positions and gamers it’s best to keep away from. We additionally embrace our begin of the week for the participant who’s assured to provide that week.

Under is our week 1 version and as per typical I picked these gamers based mostly on the Half-PPR scoring system. Remember to take a look at our fantasy soccer part for fantasy soccer recommendation and rather more!

Quarterbacks

Begin ‘Em

Jayden Daniels (@ TB) – Normally I are inclined to avoid beginning rookie quarterbacks of their opening sport however Daniels is totally different. He’s probably the most pro-ready move thrower from this yr’s draft and has proven all offseason that he’s prepared to guide this workforce.

When it comes to matchup, Tampa Bay will seemingly throw blitzes at Daniels all sport lengthy. He might want to get the ball out shortly however that’s one in every of Daniels strongest belongings. The Bucs will seemingly stifle the Commanders run sport leaving loads of alternatives for Daniels to place up factors.

Sit ‘Em

Brock Purdy (vs. NYJ) – It’s been an incredible previous couple of weeks for Purdy and the 49ers offense. First, they have been capable of attain a take care of Brandon Aiyuk after which this week they locked up star LT Trent Williams.

Regardless of the excellent news, I’d mood my expectations for week 1. The Jets will as soon as once more have a prime 5 protection and the San Francisco offense will seemingly be rusty to begin the season. Maintain on Purdy however just for this sport.

Operating Backs

Begin ‘Em

Aaron Jones (@ NYG) – Jones will make his debut for the Vikings on Sunday and he has a juicy matchup. The Giants have been one of many worst defenses within the NFL final season giving up an avg. of 132 yards per sport. With Sam Darnold now in at quarterback, I anticipate the Vikings to lean closely on Jones.

Backup operating again Ty Chandler will play a task this season however I anticipate that to occur down the road. If there’s one concern with Jones it’s his harm historical past.

Sit ‘Em

Zamir White (@ LAC) – White has been getting loads of hype this offseason because the doable RB1 in Las Vegas. I might want to see this primary earlier than I begin him. Count on Alexander Mattison to eat up touches because the Raiders determine their operating sport.

Broad Receivers

Begin ‘Em

Tank Dell (@ IND) – I’ve been excessive on Dell all offseason and I don’t see that altering as we begin the season. Dell is probably the most explosive receiver on this gifted Houston offense and I might see him ending with extra fantasy factors than Stefon Diggs in 2024.

On this matchup, the Colts might be centered on Nico Collins who shredded them for 146 receiving yards final season. This may depart loads of open alternatives for Dell to make the most of.

Sit ‘Em

Keon Coleman (vs. ARI) – Who would be the new #1 receiver in Buffalo? There are loads of questions that must be answered for the Payments going ahead. Newly acquired Curtis Samuel figures to play a giant function together with Khalil Shakir. Shakir has probably the most chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen and probably the most upside.

The matchup for Coleman is an efficient one because the Cardinals struggled towards the move final season. Regardless of that, it’s finest to sit down Coleman till we see how he seems on this offense.

Tight Ends

Begin ‘Em

Taysum Hill (vs. CAR) – Hill might be probably the most intriguing fantasy soccer participant this yr. He’s a real Swiss military knife who could be slotted in at a number of positions. There may be at all times a danger beginning Hill however the upside vs. the Panthers is just too huge to disregard. I see Hill enjoying an excellent greater function for the Saints this yr.

Sit ‘Em

Kyle Pitts (vs. PIT) – Will this be the yr Pitts lastly breaks out? He lastly has a top-tier quarterback in Kirk Cousins and a brand new offensive scheme. Sadly, Pitts is already exhibiting up on the harm report with a hamstring difficulty. Whereas I don’t wish to surrender on Pitts but, I’d sit him this week vs. the Steelers protection.

Begin of the Week

Jared Goff (vs. LAR) – Prepare for a shootout in Detroit. This matchup will function loads of offense and has the best o/u this week in accordance with Vegas at 51.0. The final time these two groups met was within the Wild Card spherical of final yr’s playoffs as Goff led the Lions to a 1 level victory.

Goff didn’t mild up the board by way of fantasy however I anticipate a giant day for him on Sunday. The Rams are going by a rebuild of kinds on the defensive facet of the ball and Goff has been wonderful a house. Count on 3 passing touchdowns for Goff this week and a top-10 end.
