If you are generally one of the last teams in your league to draft a starting quarterback, Hurts should be on your radar. Still, with neither veteran signal-caller shining in exhibition action, many fantasy managers are spending late picks on Fields and Lance in the hopes they will be on the field by midseason. San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan has refused to name a starter for the 49ers in Week 1, but most feel Jimmy Garoppolo will get the nod. It can be argued that Justin Fields has outplayed Andy Dalton in Chicago, but Bears head coach Matt Nagy has announced Dalton will start the season opener against the Rams. Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars was named the Week 1 starter Wednesday, but both he and the Jaguars offense have struggled in the preseason.

The first rookie locked in as a Week 1 starter, Zach Wilson of the New York Jets, has been a pleasant surprise, throwing for 128 yards and two scores in last week's preseason tilt against the Green Bay Packers. Those youngsters are getting wildly different introductions to the pros. But we have sifted through the rubble, sorted things out and put together another point-per-reception big board for managers who are preparing for draft day.ДЄs it so often is, the story of the summer at the quarterback position has been the incoming rookie class. The quarterback competition in Denver is over, and the announcement that Teddy Bridgewater will start against the Giants in Week 1 impacts all the Denver skill-position players.Д®very one of those developments impacted fantasy player rankings-and that wasn't all that happened.ДЄs is the case this time of year, rankings get the snow globe treatment fairly often. After backfield injuries of their own, the Los Angeles Rams swung a trade that brought Sony Michel to La La Land-and muddied the team's backfield. In that same game, the Jacksonville Jaguars lost rookie running back Travis Etienne Jr. We saw a potential fantasy sleeper emerge in New Orleans in wide receiver Marquez Callaway. That means we have just two big fantasy draft weekends left, and this past week has been a lulu for fantasy managers. Less than two weeks remain until the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers kick off the 2021 NFL season-and with it another year of fantasy football.
