  • Javonte Williams (RB – DEN): The crew discusses why Javonte Williams is a great Week 1 starter despite being drafted as a potential RB3 in many leagues. His volume and safe floor make him a solid flex or RB2 play, with a 10-15 point projection that could easily jump if he scores a touchdown. His involvement in both the running and passing game under new head coach Sean Payton adds further upside.
  • Tee Higgins (WR – CIN): Tee Higgins is highlighted as a “must-start” wide receiver this week, especially with uncertainty surrounding teammate Ja’Marr Chase‘s availability. In past games without Chase, Higgins averaged nearly 19 fantasy points per game. The matchup against a New England Patriots defense that may struggle this year makes Higgins a high-upside option for Week 1.
  • J.K. Dobbins (RB – LAC) vs. Ezekiel Elliott (RB – DAL): The debate between J.K. Dobbins and Ezekiel Elliott centers around workload and explosiveness. The experts lean toward Dobbins, citing his potential to shine in a more pass-friendly offense, while Elliott may be more reliant on game script in a tough matchup. Both backs are risky but offer intriguing upside in Week 1.
