Week 1 is here and you need to know who you should be starting in your lineup.

Well, the most important position in fantasy football is the running back position.

So today we're going to be ranking the top 40 guys to help you with all of your lineup decisions.

And we're going to be doing it by tier.

My top tier is right here.

These four players, I think we can tackle this tier all at once and then goAfrey, then Bruce Hall, then Jonathan Taylor. And I know some people might say, oh, it should be Christian McCaffrey number one.

That's fine if you want to put it that way.

For me personally, though, I just like the fact that Bijan has not been injured like Christian

McCaffrey, who's dealing with a calf and is still not participated in practice as recent as

Francisco 49ers probably have coming into the season the top two defensive lines in football.

You can argue that the Eagles should be up there as well, but still, some of the top units. Now, overall, all these guys are obviously great. Put them in any order that you want.

I think we start to actually have a talk in a competition, maybe here a little bit when we talk about Jonathan Taylor,

who I would consider a tier one player for this week, and here's why.

This week, he'll face the Texans.

He's a slight underdog, with that could is actually one of the higher ones on the week. And let's not forget that he's going to come into this game with a healthy Anthony Richardson

behind a top five offensive line. Jonathan Taylor sets up nicely.

And by the way, last year in this, Shane Stike and offense, Taylor, over his final five games,

averaged over 100 yards per game.

All right, now this takes us to Tier 2, where we have Sequin Barclay, who's going to play on Friday night this week, so I'll go a little bit quicker because by the time you're watching this, he might have already played.

He'll have a matchup against the Green Bay Packers, who have a fine defensive line, but not the
