Obviously, we only know so much about how offenses and defenses are actually going to perform this year, but previous seasons stats and tendencies can tell us quite a bit.RotoBaller factored all that into its Week 1 rankings, and its reflected in their Who to Start? tool. Check out an example from each offensive position.Trey Lance vs. Aaron Rodgers vs. Derek CarrRotoBaller likes Lance by a nose here, ranking him 12th among QBs -- one spot ahead of Rodgers and two spots ahead of Carr. Matchup likely has a lot to do with it, as Lance gets the work-in-progre s Bears while Carr gets an improved Chargers defense. Rodgers has a favorable matchup, too, but with so many questions surrounding his receiver corps, he's dropped a bit in the rankings. While the more experienced Rodgers and Carr might be a little safer, Lances rushing ability gives him a higher ceiling.MORE: and receive exclusive acce s to their lineup tools, rankings, and analysis..Dameon Pierce vs. Michael CarterHere, we have a hot rookie trying to claim a backfield and a second-year player trying to hold off a rookie. RotoBaller is all-in on the Pierce train after his big preseason, ranking him ahead of Carter in both PPR and standard. While there are obvious risks in starting a rookie RB in Week 1, theres also risk in trusting Carter to get more touches than Breece Hall.SN's WEEK 1 FANTASY PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Chris Olave vs. Drake London vs. Romeo Doubs vs. George PickensSo, you want to start a rookie WR in Week 1? Your funeral. But if you just cant resist (and somehow have all four of these guys), RotoBaller suggests you go with the first one selected in the 2022 NFL Draft. London mi sed almost all of the preseason due to a knee injury, but hes expected to be back against the Saints. He should see plenty of targets, so even though his matchup isnt as good as Olaves or Doubs', he still has the highest floor, especially in PPR leagues.WEEK 1 FANTASY PICKS: | | Irv Smith Jr. vs. Cole Kmet vs. Mike GesickiIn this battle of fringe fantasy starters with breakout potential, RotoBaller gives the Week 1 edge to Kmet in PPR and standard leagues. He just barely edges out Gesicki, whos ranked just two spots ahead of Smith. Obviously, any of these TEs can pay off if they get into the end zone, but given Kmets role as Chicagos nominal No. 2 receiver, he should be a safer bet for targets.MORE: and receive exclusive acce s to their premium lineup tools, DFS cheat sheets, and Team Sync platform! .Try out any combination of players including players at different positions for your flex spot with the RotoBaller Who to Draft? tool above.
