INSIGHT

Flat Week-One WR Tiers

  • Wide receiver rankings are highly compressed in Week 1, making many WRs forecasted within a narrow point range.
  • Small matchup differences can flip WR2/WR4 fantasy value, so treat these tiers carefully.
ADVICE

Use Sunday Live For Lineup Calls

  • Join the Sunday morning show around 11 AM Eastern for live start/sit help before kickoff.
  • Use that window to settle tight flex decisions between RBs and WRs.
INSIGHT

Chase Still Boom-Or-Bust Elite

  • Expect one-year-week volatility but high upside against the Browns.
