We have arrived at your destination. We hope you’ve enjoyed the ride. Please exit in an orderly fashion.
The wait is over, and NFL Football is back at the tail end of the traditional work week.
All told, between best ball and managed leagues, I drafted over 30 teams this spring and summer. I had been in active drafts from the middle of June until August 29. Home leagues await.
Now we see what our work has amounted to. These rankings are for NFL Week 1 ONLY. I will change them if something pops up in injury reports, the first of which should be issued on September 1.
If someone you’re interested in does not appear here and you would like to know why, the comments section is at the bottom of this article.
These rankings are for base PPR leagues: 1 point per reception, 1 point for 10 yards rushing/receiving, 6 points per touchdown, and -2 points per fumble lost. No premiums or bonuses.
I’ll give player, player’s team, opponent this week, home or road game (H/R), day of game, time of game (early (E), late (L), or night (N)), opponent’s 2024 rank vs. tight ends, and current projected team total per ESPNBET.
