The Fantasy Advantage with Glenn Slezak

About This Episode

Football season is finally here, and Glenn Slezak returns with The Fantasy Advantage for Week One. With drafts completed and little regular-season information available, Glenn’s primary advice is simple: trust the players you drafted and start your established stars. He also identifies several players whose injuries, workloads or early-season situations could make them risky Week One choices. Glenn also shares his optional $5 five-team parlay, with a potential payout of approximately $133 based on the odds available when the episode was recorded.

Glenn then highlights potential starters and waiver-wire opportunities before introducing his new weekly feature: the “$5 Five-Team Parlay.” His opening selections include the New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals. It is a fast-moving Week One preview designed to help fantasy managers make their first lineup decisions—and have a little responsible fun along the way.

Week 1

Week 1 is FINALLY here! Lets look at who to start, who to sit for Week 1!

Marshawn Lloyd filling in for the suspended Josh Jacobs has a favorable match up on paper again a subpar Vikings front 7. The Patriots are going to try and get their new #1 receiver the ball early and often, so give me AJ Brown. JSN is Sam Darnold’s top target in Seattle….and Amon-Ra and the Lions are facing a mediocre New Orleans defense, so those are easy starts.

Truth is it is Week 1, so if you drafted them high, roll your best out there. As the season progresses, we will learn what defenses are better than others…. but if you have someone playing the Dolphins at any point this season, start them! The fancy fish are tanking for the #1 pick…

Having said that, I’m going to sit Jeantry as he is working his way back from a high ankle sprain so beware….Tucker Kraft, although an elite TE is coming off an ACL injury so lets see him healthy before we play him. Same goes for Malik Nabers.

Start

1. MarShawn Lloyd (GB-RB)
2. AJ Brown (NE-WR)
3. Jaxon Smith-Njiba (Sea-WR)
4. Omarion Hampton (LAC-RB)
5. Amon-Ra St. Brown (Det-WR)

Sit

1. Ashton Jeanty (LAV-RB)
2. Tucker Kraft (GB-TE)
3. Malik Nabers (NYG-WR)
4. Breece Hall (NYJ-RB)
5. Travis Kelce (KC-TE)

Finally, lets do a $5/5 team parlay!
