Week 1 is here and you need to figure out who to start in your fantasy football.

0:03.1

And my goodness, there are so many wide receivers that you can choose from.

0:06.3

So in this video, we're going to rank the top 40 for you so you know exactly who to be starting for week one.

0:10.5

And we'll start with some of my Tier 1 players here.

0:12.3

We're breaking these down by tiers.

0:13.4

I'm not going to do this for every tier, show you them all right away.

0:15.4

But for Tier 1, it's kind of some obvious names here. My rankings are Tyreek, Amunrah, Justin Jefferson, C.D. Lamb, and Jammar Chase,

0:21.8

those five receivers in that order. Now let's break it down. Look, the reason I like Tyreek Hill is a

0:25.7

couple of things. First off, he's going to face the Jaguars at home. This game has a 49 point

0:29.1

team total according to Draft Kings, and this Jaguar's secondary is the NFL. If we go over to PFF here, you can see they brought in

0:37.9

some names. They bring in a darnel Savage, a former Green Bay Packer, a Ronald Darby. They take some

0:42.6

players in the draft to Jerry and Jones, but it's still a unit that was, again, bottom five

0:46.7

last year in the entire NFL, and now they're getting a lot of new pieces in. We'll see how it works. It's probably not all going to come together week one. And not to mention Tyree kills a target hog in himself. And Jalen Waddle's been battling an injury,

0:56.9

although he's returned to practice. So he might not be 100%. O'Dell is not going to be with the team

1:00.6

for the first at least four weeks of the season. So it might just be the Tyreek show like we saw go back to these rankings. I have Amunrah St. Brown, the number two wide receiver for this week. And honestly, he was really close to being my number one receiver because his matchup is that good.

1:13.6

Because Amonrodrod is going to go up against the Los Angeles. Rams, first off, this game is a 51 point total,

1:17.5

the highest on the week. So this is the best fantasy environment. And the Rams defense in general,

1:20.6

has question marks along the defensive line because Aaron Donald's no longer there. And in their secondary right now, they're starting Tredavius White, who hasn't been the same since his injury, and Darius Williams, they're bringing back, who's a decent cornerback, but those

1:30.2

are their best guys. That's a little bit of a concern. It's probably a bottom 10 to even bottom

1:33.3

five secondary. And last year against bottom 10 secondaries, Amonra, average 119 yards per game.

1:37.8

All right, now my wide receiver three was Justin Jefferson. And just to break it down a little bit. Look, he's going up against potentially the second worst secondary in the NFL this year in the New York Giants. The biggest question here is will Sam Donald,

1:47.3

the Vikings new starting quarterback, have time to throw against a really good Giants pass rush.
