NFL Week 1 fantasy football is one of the trickier weeks to project early, so there could be quite a bit of movement from now until kickoff. As always, be sure to check my updated rankings and projections before making any final lineup decisions.

To help you start making your start/sit decisions, I've outlined the early version of my Week 1 fantasy rankings into tiers so you can better visualize the drop-off in expected production at each position.

I'll publish an updated version of these rankings before Sunday afternoon games kick off, but for now, let's dive into the initial version of my Week 1 tiers below!
