The NFL season is back! After a long seven-plus months of no football games that actually matter, life is finally starting to have meaning. Err ... more meaning, at least.

With PPR wide receivers, you know the usual names at the top: Antonio Brown going against current teammate Joe Haden’s former team, A.J. Green going up against the Ravens, and Julio Jones facing Chicago just to name a few. Don’t overthink any of the top guys, which isn’t just limited to the aforementioned wideouts.
This early in the year, it’s easy to take some risks because you want to get off to a great start in your league. But it’s not about making the risky choice, it’s about making the right choice, and we’re here to help you do that.
If you have a lineup question or anything regarding this week’s rankings, drop us a line in the war room or on Twitter @SBNationFantasy.
Oh and also, here’s your weekly reminder (a few days in advance) to not start any Patriots or Chiefs players in your Flex spot.
