## Resource

Steelers, Jaguars, and Chargers defenses are top picks this week—especially with Falcons possibly starting Cooper Rush and Browns struggling offensively. Avoid Browns, Vikings, and Cowboys defenses despite their talent; matchups and QB uncertainty make them risky. For kickers, Dicker, Little, and Fairbairn shine with strong projections, while Fitzgerald and Shrader should sit. Matchups and QB health are your edge—stay flexible as Week 1 surprises loom.
