## Resource

Week 1 is here, and Chris Welsh, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Andrew Erickson break down the fantasy football running back rankings to help you make the right start/sit decisions. Where should Derrick Henry, Javonte Williams, Ashton Jeanty, Kyren Williams, and the rest of your RBs land in your Week 1 lineup? The guys debate some of their biggest ranking disagreements, including Henry vs. the Colts, Williams against the Giants, and how fantasy managers should handle Jeanty's injury situation. Plus, get their outlooks for Kyren Williams, Bhayshul Tuten, Jeremiah Love, Jadarian Price, Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson, Tony Pollard, Jonathan Brooks, and Marshawn Lloyd. Which running backs are safe Week 1 starts, which committee backfields should fantasy managers avoid, and where can you find an early-season edge over your opponents? Get the latest FantasyPros Week 1 RB rankings, matchup analysis, injury considerations, and start/sit advice before setting your fantasy football lineup.
