#StartSitESPN Rashad Jennings or Marvin Jones as flex? I would rather go with the larger workload level, so give Hill the start. Abdullah is not guaranteed to be the bell cow in Detroit's pass-first offense. Hill has a much tougher matchup, but he is going to be the lead back in a rush-first offense.

#StartSitESPN Abdullah vs Hill in 12 team standard thank you Have Stafford with a higher upside grade (90 to 89) and a much more favorable schedule, as the Colts have three injury-replacement players in their secondary. Have them rated dead even in overall grade (79). He rates tied for second on the tight end board and has higher overall grades, upside and downside. Having noted this, Kelce is Alex Smith's go-to pass-catcher on dink-and-dunk throws and has a solid matchup of his own.

KCĪs noted earlier, Witten has a fantastic matchup grade and, thus, is worth TE1 consideration. KCĬoby Fleener or Martellus Bennett? #StartSitESPNīennett's grade shot upward after the report that Rob Gronkowski wouldn't play against Arizona, but Fleener's better downfield receiving skills give him a solid edge in overall and upside grades and a slight edge in downside grade. Since Michael is apt to get the larger workload share for Seattle this week, he gets the start. Hyde plays on what might be the most talent-challenged offense in the NFL (and, yes, that includes the Browns). #StartSitESPN Christine Michael over Hyde? Blake Bortles or Tyrod Taylor? #StartSitESPNīetween having a great wide receiver corps, a healthy Julius Thomas, a strong running game and a matchup against Green Bay that could be the highest-scoring matchup in Week 1, Bortles rates as my top quarterback this week. Kind of a surprise to say this, but Walford's incredibly favorable matchup (he has a perfect matchup ratings score in my matchup ratings system) and the odds that Oakland-New Orleans turns into a pass-heavy contest rates him over Shepard this week.
