It's hard to believe that another summer has come and gone, and this is my fourth year writing this column for ESPN. I had the pleasure of taking part in the Rankings Summit back in May for the second time and with the shift in the content that I produce centering around NFL and NBA daily fantasy entirely, it's freed up my summertime from focusing on each slate of daily fantasy baseball to just preparing myself for the coming season of NFL. If you're a returning reader from last year or the past few seasons, thanks for coming back. If you're new to the column there's a few things you should know.
Success in daily fantasy comes down to your ability to find value, identify players in great matchups and maximize the relationships between the players in your roster (otherwise known as correlation).
Each week, I'll go through each position and give you a few players I'm considering for my head-to-head lineups -- usually players who are getting as much volume as possible while also coming in at value prices. I'll also include some players who I am considering for my tournament pool in the write up section or in the "also considering" section for each position and while things may change from the time I write this article until kickoff on Sunday I do what I can to keep people updated on my various social media channels all the way up until kickoff on Sunday.
With that in mind, here are my favorite plays for Week 1.
