Welcome to the Couch Rider Report’s weekly Fantasy Football Rankings! Every week I will look into my crystal ball and project which players will shine and which players will struggle. My rankings are based on standard scoring leagues. The Week 1 Rankings are always the most difficult to compile. If your gut tells you that a certain player should be higher on the list, go with it. Sometimes gut feelings and hunches are a Fantasy Football coach’s best tool. Remember to consider the match ups when deciding on who to start. Any lineup questions throughout the season, tweet me @FFadvice7 for immediate line up/trade/waiver wire help.
*DON’T FORGET TO SET YOUR LINEUP FOR THURSDAY NIGHT’S PACKERS/SEAHAWKS GAME!
