My rankings were created based on several factors including: expected workload, strength of opponent, previous matchup history, expected red zone opportunities, and projected game play.

My Week 1 rankings for quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends will also be available.

All position rankings will be updated throughout the week. Players from the Kansas City Chiefs-Baltimore Ravens game will be removed after their season opener on Thursday in Kansas City, Missouri. Players will also be removed from the rankings or adjusted within the rankings due to injuries.
