Buyer Beware: Fabiano’s Riskiest Fantasy Football Players

Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings: Wide Receivers

Matchup bodes well for both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in Seattle.

Now’s the time to start thinking about setting your lineups, and we’re here to help with our initial fantasy player rankings! I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which you can use in coordination with the Week 1 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we have you completely covered!

Cooper Kupp isn’t in the rankings this week, as he continues to deal with an injured hamstring. DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are both in the top 20 wideouts based on a great matchup against the Rams and the absence of rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Skyy Moore is in the flex conversation against the Lions on Thursday night.

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
