Fantasy football Week 1: Top 10 matchups to attack
As you get ready for the first full Sunday of the NFL season, check out these top 10 matchups to attack in fantasy football week 1.
Fantasy football week 1 is already off to an exciting start after the Super Bowl rematch on Thursday got the year off to a strong start. Heading into the weekend there are several important story lines to keep tabs on as you make your final lineup decisions and get ready for the first full Sunday of football this year. One thing to definitely take into consideration from week-to-week in fantasy football is the matchups each player is facing.
Thursday Night Football was a good reminder not to over-react to matchups since some owners over-analyzed and sat productive options like C.J. Anderson and Cam Newton in favor of less proven options. Especially in fantasy football week 1, it’s important not to over-weight matchup in your who to start and who to sit decision.

There are some key injuries to factor into your fantasy football week 1 decisions including some big names missing like Rob Gronkowski and Jamaal Charles. Other players like Thomas Rawls and Matt Jones are expected to play but may be less than 100% after being sidelined with injuries this preseason.
Whether you have an injured player or are just trying to make that final roster decision, fantasy football matchups are important to consider. While over-weighting matchups can result in leaving good starts on your bench (sorry C.J. owners in that spot), analyzing some of the best matchups to attack can help you get players in a place where they could have a big fantasy football week 1.
