Top Week 1 Fantasy football picks
One surprise in Week 1: The model is fading Bills quarterback Josh Allen, despite him leading all players in Fantasy points a year ago and finishing first or second in positional points each of the last six seasons. In Week 1, Allen has the unfortunate task of facing Houston's No. 1 defense that sacked Allen a career-high eight times in last year's meeting. The QB didn't find the endzone with either his arm or legs in that contest, but he did throw two interceptions. Allen has never had a rushing touchdown in four regular season starts versus the Texans. Also, Houston will host, and Allen has 10 turnovers over his last three Week 1 road starts, as the model has the 2024 MVP outside the top 15 in the Week 1 Fantasy football QB rankings.Another curveball: The model is high on Chargers wideout Ladd McConkey, despite him regressing in his sophomore year, going from the WR12 in 2024 to WR30 last season. McConkey will have less competition for targets this year with Keenan Allen's departure, and he'll benefit from upgrades within Los Angeles' offense, namely better O-line health and the addition of OC Mike McDaniel. He also has a great opening week matchup versus Arizona, which was 27th in total defense and 29th in scoring defense last year. McConkey slots in as a top 10 Fantasy wideout this week, even ahead of the likes of CeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson. For more start/sit Fantasy football advice, be sure to .
So who should you start and sit this week, and which surprising quarterback could lead you to victory?
