Week 1 Fantasy Fireworks Preview: Bengals-Bucs, Lions-Saints Lead the Charge

Evan Silva’s Week 1 column spotlights a fantasy-heavy opening slate, led by the Bengals-Bucs game (the week's highest total at 50.5) and a Lions-Saints shootout-friendly environment with Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown thriving in a favorable matchup; Kamara’s absence for New Orleans could boost the Saints’ backfield usage. The piece also notes Baker Mayfield’s healthy yet unsettled situation with the Bucs’ retooled offensive line, and predicts substantial activity around Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit, Breece Hall for the Jets, and a wave of other WR/TE considerations. It closes with scorelines like Bengals 34–24 and Lions 37–27, guiding fantasy decision-making for Week 1 starter and DFS lineups.
