Anyway, in Start/Sit, Samantha suggests you keep riding the Washington RB wave, while Jeremy advises you to veer away from an Eagles receiver. In DFS 5 for 5, Jeremy offers a lineup you can build entirely out of $5K wide receivers that would allow both Alvin Kamara and Dalvin Cook in your lineup.

Then they dive into their Starts and Sits of the week, making the case for a pair of Denver Broncos receivers and against all San Francisco 49ers running backs (because Kyle Shanahan hates your fantasy team). In DFS 5 for 5, Christian McCaffrey's injury makes a cheap Panthers RB a "free space" in DraftKings.

    Jeremy and Samantha recap the first NFL game of the season between the Chiefs and Texans, where Clyde Edwards-Helaire ran wild and the Texans offense looked...not great, Bob. For Start/Sit in Week 1, they recommend a Dallas wide receiver and a Falcons tight end, while warning to stay away from crowded backfields in Los Angeles and Tampa Bay. In the inaugural "Show Us Your Picks," Jeremy takes the Titans in Denver and the under in a Bears/Lions slopfest, while Samantha likes the under between the Raiders and Panthers. And Jeremy offers a three-team underdog parlay as his "Degenerate Bet of the Week."

    The NFL's RBs are back on their BS and Jeremy and Samantha break down the Leonard Fournette, Joe Mixon and Alvin Kamara situations. In the NFC East, the Eagles (14:00) are once again looking like a hospital ward, but still have some interesting pieces. The Cowboys (21:19) are loaded with offensive weapons, but one receiver may have too high a price in fantasy. The Giants (28:42) have a generational talent RB and a bunch of injury-prone pass catchers. And the Washington Football Team (35:17) continues to give Dwayne Haskins as raw of a deal as any QB in the NFL. The AFC East is extremely boring, but the Patriots (43:25) are still the class of the division until someone proves otherwise. The Bills (50:58) are the best bet outside of New England to win the division, but their QB is still a mystery (and a possible fantasy bust). The Dolphins (58:40) are finally interesting and have a sleeper WR to keep an eye on. And the Jets (1:05:21) are an absolute dumpster fire and you should avoid all of them (with some minor exceptions).

    Jeremy and Samantha pray the NFL can handle the rapidly approaching season amid a still-raging pandemic. They go into Buy or Sell (4:39) where they discuss Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jonathan Taylor and Kyler Murray, among others. In the NFC West preview, Samantha makes a case for an "unsexy" Rams (16:23) receiver. As the 49ers (22:41) mount their NFC title defense, Jeremy offers reasons to be concerned (and possibly take the under on wins). The Cardinals (29:58) have an emerging superstar at QB who, in case you haven't heard, added Deandre Hopkins. And the Seahawks (35:52) still insist on running the ball to death despite having a generational talent at QB. In the AFC West, the Raiders (41:35) have an intriguing group of skill position players as they move to Las Vegas. The Chiefs (48:09) have too many fantasy studs to count. The Chargers (53:45) don't – at least not with Tyrod Taylor under center. And the Broncos (1:00:06) have a talented group of skill position players but a giant question mark at QB.

    Jeremy and Samantha give you sell high candidates (5:27), including a certain Buffalo Bills quarterback, then preview the NFC and AFC South divisions. The Saints (22:24) have one of the best RBs in fantasy as well as one of the best handcuffs. The Bucs (28:14) have Tom Brady now – how will he impact the pass catchers? The Panthers (36:00) have the most obvious fantasy MVP in the league. The Falcons (41:16) signed Todd Gurley – is he all of a sudden a value? In the AFC South, the Colts (47:56) have a significantly improved offense and could be the third-best team in the conference. For the Texans (53:23), Bill nO'Brain traded away their best player, but there are still some interesting fantasy pieces. The Titans (59:59) got a historic efficiency from their offense, but will it continue? And the Jaguars (1:06:13) are running it back with the ultimate Florida Man at QB.

    Jeremy Layton and Samantha Previte offer buy low candidates (2:11), then preview the NFC and AFC North. The Packers (11:32) have a stud in Davante Adams but also a potential sleeper WR. Does the Bears offense (17:57) have anyone fantasy-viable? Samantha thinks the Vikings' (26:06) fantasy MVP is someone other than Dalvin Cook. The Lions (32:52) have a star receiver but a backfield to avoid. In the AFC, the Ravens (38:07) have an obvious stud in Lamar Jackson, but should you draft him? The Steelers (45:50) get Ben Roethlisberger back, but Jeremy and Samantha don't agree on whether he will be effective. The Bengals (51:12) have a stud new QB but a coach that may or may not actually exist. And the Browns (58:15) have an extremely potent backfield that might produce two fantasy starters.
