Fantasy Football Week 1: Lawrence & Young Top 10, Ekeler Shines, and Meyers's Return

Quarterbacks:

Trevor Lawrence faces the Carolina Panthers, a favorable matchup for fantasy production. He has an upgraded supporting cast and a new coaching staff, setting the stage for a strong performance. Bryce Young also has sleeper potential, particularly if he continues to use his legs to gain fantasy points. Their game is expected to be high-scoring, increasing the chances of both QBs surpassing 20 fantasy points.

Running Backs:

Austin Ekeler is set to be the lead back for the Commanders. Although he was underutilized last season, he has the potential to be a three-down back. Meanwhile, rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt may see limited action, making Ekeler a valuable fantasy asset this week.

Wide Receivers:

Jakobi Meyers requested a trade, creating speculation about his role, but he is still expected to play and perform well. His matchup against his former team, the New England Patriots, adds an intriguing element to his potential for a 20-point fantasy performance. Amari Cooper's retirement further solidifies Meyers's role.
