Week 1 is two games deep, but we are far from over! The point-filled Buccaneers-Bengals matchup and the low-scoring Jets-Titans game are on the docket, and everything in between. I have a host of starts, sits, and sleepers for each position, so let me know what you think!

QUARTERBACKS
START
Baker Mayfield (TB) v. CIN
Mayfield is a very rich man as he enters the Week 1 matchup against the Bengals. So more commas and a Swiss-cheese Cincinnati defense point to a high-scoring game and plenty of fantasy point opportunities for Mayfield and company. After dealing with injury, Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin look healthy and ready to contribute. Wheels up for Baker to finish in the top-10 this week.
Tyler Shough (NO) v. DET
Shough earned the starting gig halfway through the 2025 season. And I’ll admit I wasn't the highest on him coming out of college. Entering the 2026 season, Shough is set up for a shootout against a hobbled Lions defense. Rookie Jordan Tyson is out for an extended period, but Shough did plenty of damage last season with Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson.
