The Yahoo Fantasy crew has full confidence in these players delivering a memorable performance in your fantasy football lineups for Week 1.
Yes, Taysom Hill will make his presence felt in opening week
Taysom Hill ran the ball nine times for 75 yards in his one game against Carolina last season, while also catching a pass and completing another. He’s a great bet to find the end zone at least once in the opener against the Panthers. Hill is eligible at TE, but he’s arguably more of a running back. He’s a near-lock to get goal-line opportunities for this eternally weird team. Fire him up in a favorable matchup. — Andy Behrens
Jared Goff set to roar against his former team
Jared Goff has averaged 277.2 passing yards (7.9 YPA) with 44 touchdowns over 17 games in Detroit over the last two seasons. He lacks the fantasy upside of dual-threat QBs who run, but Goff is live when playing at home. The Rams allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks last season, and they are now without Aaron Donald. The Lions have the NFL’s highest implied team point total in a Week 1 matchup that should be high scoring. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs is a bit banged up, while Detroit’s receivers enter Week 1 fully healthy, with Jameson Williams a real threat to break out this season. Goff throws for 300 yards and three scores in a huge performance Sunday night. — Dalton Del Don
Bengals D/ST might just win the week
I give you this pick not only for Cincinnati on Sunday but as a guideline going forward. When you’re trying to fill that DST slot you want the biggest favorite possible, you want to pick on suspect opposing offenses, you want to gang up against a sketchy offensive line. This matchup checks every box. I don’t know how crisp the Cincinnati offense will be but the defense can control this game. — Scott Pianowski
A beauty of a matchup for a young running back
Cook has as good of a matchup as you’ll find in Week 1 against the Cardinals. Arizona may have the worst defensive…
