Game By Game Snapshot for Week 1

Our Game-By-Game Snapshot provides a quick glimpse at each game this week. The goal is to provide you with a fantasy capsule at a game level that ranks all fantasy-relevant players. The players are ranked as:

• Must Start - Player is match-up proof or has a great match-up this week.
  
  
• Start 'Em If You Got 'Em - Player should be started in most leagues and formats this week.
  
  
• Start 'Em If You Have To - Not a great match-up this week, but you probably have no choice but to start the player.
  
  
• Desperation Plays - Player should only be started if you have no other option.
