Welcome to Week 1 RotoBallers. Below are our updated consensus Week 1 PPR rankings for fantasy football, including some running notes on relevant injuries, player news and rankings updates:

These rankings are a consensus from four of our lead fantasy football columnists - Nick MarianoPierre Camus, Brandon Murchison, Scott Engel, and Dominick Petrillo - who have all analyzed the NFL matchups and game slates for Week 1.

And in case you weren't aware, our very own Nick Mariano was ranked #11 overall in 2018 out of ~120 industry experts, and was ranked #9 overall the year before. So be sure to follow his rankings every week!

Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings (PPR)

You can also see our Week 1 ranks for Half-PPR and Standard scoring.

Note that quarterbacks, defenses and kickers are all grouped separately towards the bottom. Each of those positions is ranked on their own. This is to allow owners to compare running backs, wide receivers and tight ends for their FLEX spot (without seeing QB, DEF, K mixed in).
