Fantasy Football Week 1 Matchups to Exploit: Brock Bowers poised to go off in first game

This is as good of a matchup as you’ll find in Week 1. Cook faces the Cardinals, who may have the worst defensive line in football. Cook is coming off a season where he earned nearly 1,600 total yards and now gets to follow that up with a matchup against a defensive line whose personnel would likely be backups on most other teams.

The Bills are six-point favorites and projected to score a strong 27 points this week. Cook has an increased chance to score a touchdown in this game. Start him with confidence.

I’m concerned about the Rams defensive line without Aaron Donald. It’s a unit that has a lot of question marks and now they’ll have a brutal Week 1 matchup against a Lions’ offensive line that may be the best unit in the NFL.

Even if Gibbs is limited by just 10-20%, it would directly benefit Montgomery in a major way. Start Monty this week.

Nabers will begin his NFL career with a favorable matchup against the Vikings. Minnesota has the 27th-ranked secondary entering the season, according to PFF.

This Vikings secondary has had an unfortunate offseason. Cornerback Mekhi Blackmon tore his ACL on the first day of training camp and cornerback Shaq Griffin pulled his hamstring on the second day of camp. Not to mention, the team cut their 2022 first-round safety in Lewis Cine and lost rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson to a tragic car accident in July.

The Vikings still need time and resources to fix their secondary, but Week 1 is already here. Expect Nabers to earn plenty of targets in a beneficial matchup, just like he did in the preseason. If Daniel…
