Fantasy Football Week 1 Rankings – Quarterbacks

Josh Allen
To differentiate between all the “Start ‘Ems” on my Fantasy Football Start Em, Sit Em page, you can check out the Weekly Fantasy Football Rankings, so you can figure out whom to start between Player X and Player Y.

Below are my fantasy QB rankings and a set of links for my positional Weekly NFL Fantasy Football Rankings. Keep in mind that this list is for this week only; not the entire rest of the season.

The rankings are based on a Traditional scoring system. Each player has Walterfootball.com’s projected stats and standard scoring points.

  1. Drake Maye, QB, Patriots (at Broncos)- 22 Points
    220 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 40 Rushing Yards, 1 TD.
    Denver’s defense is a paper tiger, so Drake Maye is the best option on the slate.

  2. Matthew Stafford, QB, Rams (at Seahawks)- 21 Points
    320 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 1 INT.
    Matthew Stafford threw all over the Seahawks the last time he played against them.

  3. Sam Darnold, QB, Seahawks (vs. Rams)- 14 Points
    260 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards.
    Sam Darnold folds like a cheap suit when under pressure.

  4. Jarrett Stidham, QB, Broncos (vs. Patriots)- 13 Points
    260 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 10 Rushing Yards.
    Worth considering only because of his price.
