Description
Week 1 fantasy football start/sit decisions are already being reshaped by injuries, uncertain workloads, and potential breakout players. Ryan Wormeli and Derek Brown answer live lineup questions, including what to do with A.J. Brown and Brock Bowers, whether George Kittle belongs in your lineup, and why Christian Watson, Quentin Johnston, and Michael Mayer are getting plenty of attention.
The guys break down Chris Godwin vs. Michael Pittman, Parker Washington vs. Christian Watson, Jayden Daniels vs. Tyler Shough, Jordan Mason vs. Brian Thomas Jr., Mike Evans vs. Josh Downs, and several major trade questions involving Jahmyr Gibbs, James Cook, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Chris Olave, Kenneth Walker, Christian McCaffrey, and more.
