For the most part, we'd advise against that. You drafted yourstarting quarterback for a reason. There's no sitting guys like Mahomes (@ Jacksonville) or Baker Mayfield (vs. Tenne see). There are a few tough choices coming for you, though, especially if you drafted Aaron Rodgers (@ Chicago) ahead of his road meeting to open the NFL season at Soldier Field. Or maybe Denver Broncos Hats you snagged Kyler Murray (vs. Detroit) early in draft season and are looking to take advantage of a tantalizing opener for the most recent No. 1 overall pick.
1 Patrick Mahomes II, KC @ JAX. The Jaguars were fantasy' Jerry Jeudy Jerseys s No. 1 defense in 2017 on the back of sacks and takeaways, but they came crashing down to earth in 2018. Even on the road to open the season, there shouldn't be any worries about Mahomes' production.2 Deshaun Watson, HOU @ NO. As the Texans look to find a replacement for Lamar Miller they're confident in, Watson should air it out a ton. A Monday night road game in the Superdome should lead to lots of points and each team fighting to keep up with the other. Watson should have a huge opener.3 Ru sell Wilson, SEA vs. CIN. Cincinnati allowed the most pa sing yards in 2018. Doug Baldwin's retirement leaves some doubting Wilson, but not us. He still has Tyler Lockett, who he had a perfect pa ser rating when throwing to last season. And Wilson has always made good things happen despite underwhelming pa s catchers Ronald Darby Jerseys . This is the perfect matchup to prove Baldwin's absence doesn't mean much.4 Kirk Cousins, MIN vs. ATL. Atlanta allowed the sixth-most pa sing yards in football in 2018, and frankly, 6 Jared Goff, LAR @ CAR. The Rams have probably the best trio of wide receivers in football, so each week, Goff should have a mismatch in at least one spot on the field. Considering the Panthers' aging defense isn't likely Malik Reed Jerseys to an intimidating pa s rush or secondary, so Kliff Kingsbury's offense should get off to a good start. There might be rougher waters ahead for the 2019 No. 1 overall pick, but for at least a week, Murray will look like a future star.9 Drew Brees, NO vs. HOU. Brees was mightily inconsistent last year, but Monday Night Football in the Bryce Callahan Jerseys Superdome to
11 Philip Rivers, LAC vs. IND. The Chargers will inevitably get slept on in the early going and then prove to be an AFC contender by the second half. Expect Rivers and co. to get off to a fast start against an Indy team still reeling from Andrew Luck's retirement.12 Tom Brady, NE vs. PIT. As long as Josh Gordon is around, Brady will have better week-to-week upside than without the former Baylor wideout. But the Steelers bring a solid defense to town, and New England should rely on its running game, so Brady's more of a "safe, high-floor" than a big upside play, like Jameis Winston.13 Aaron Rodgers, GB @ CHI. Chicago was our No. Tim Patrick Jerseys 1 preseason defense, with Khalil Mack and co. presenting a fearsome test for any quarterback. Rodgers isn't just any QB, though, and he'll have a pretty full stable of weapons around him to combat the Bears. There can be a tendency to overthink playing stud QBs against top defenses, but in Week 1, don't overthink it with Rodgers.14 Jameis Winston, TB vs. SF. Winston is interception pr
