The Geek’s Week 1 Rankings!

It’s here. The season is finally here! It’s been a long wait for a lot of us and it’s about time to see if all those drafts that we love, are really as good as we think they are. Week 1 is always a hard one to predict, but it gives me all the more reason to dig deep into the numbers and see who I like in their matchup and who I think will fall right on their face. Below is how I see things shaking out and hopefully my rankings help you get a win and begin the season on a good note.
