After seven brutal months of waiting, football season is finally here! Time to break out your lucky jersey, lay out a feast of hearty snacks and ice-cold refreshments, claim the most comfortable spot directly in front of the TV, and, oh yeah, don't forget to set your fantasy lineups.
We know that Week 1 can be the toughest week before the fantasy playoffs to feel comfortable with your roster decisions because you never really know what the teams are going to look like until they start playing real games. Those of us here at Fake Teams are here to remedy that by offering you our positional rankings throughout the weeks. You can now base your roster decisions on these rankings and place all the blame on us if you lose. Don't worry, we can take it.
We will start with my quarterback rankings for Week 1. Simply adjust your roster to play the highest ranked player on this list and then sit back, relax, pop open that ice-cold beverage, and dominate your weekly fantasy matchup.
