Follow the Cowboys vs Buccaneers live, Week 1
Who to start in week 1?
- Quarterback: The first game as a professional Trevor Lawrence it will be against the Texans, one of the worst teams, on paper, in the championship. In 2020 Houston had the ninth worst pass defense and there is no sign of improvement after the departure of Bradley Robby in a trade with the Saints. For its part, Jacksonville’s air attack looks nurtured with the signing of Marvin Jones in free agency.
- Running back: The Lions were the fifth worst defense against the race in 2020 and for their first game of the year they will have to face the 49ers and Raheem Mostert. The 29-year-old running back was limited to just eight games last season with an ankle injury, but after a dreamy postseason with San Francisco in 2019 and a contract extension, the Purdue alumnus remains the starter of the ‘Niners’.
- Wide receiver: Robby Anderson and Sam Darnold are reunited with the Panthers after sharing the Jets’ locker room between 2018 and 2019. In that span, wide receiver and quarterback combined for 1,531 yards and 11 touchdowns. Extra motivation? They make their debut before his former team.
- Tight end: Robert Tonyan He is coming off a season with 11 touchdown receptions and although there is no indication that this production will be repeated, there are two factors that play in favor of the tight end. In the first instance, his quarterback is the current NFL MVP, Aaron Rodgers; In addition, the Packers open the season against the Saints, an organization that lost five defensive elements in free agency.
- Defensive: Even though Daniel Jones will have Saquon Barkley back, there’s no guarantee the Duke alumnus will fix his turnover problems (22 interceptions and 29 fumbles). This may be an incentive for the defense of the Broncos, which was the fourth worst in turnovers during 2020 at 16, but they have Von Miller back.
- Kicker: In 2020 the Colts were the fourth most field goal offense in the NFL (32) thanks to Rodrigo Blankenship. The now second-year kicker was the sixth best player at his position during fantasy leagues in 2020 and in Carson Wentz’s first season in Indianapolis, the Georgia product could have a considerable workload.
