Of course, this is probably the hardest week to find an optimal lineup, so the best advice is to start with the cleats and let the chips (and salsa) fall where they fall.

The Week 1 fantasy football rankings are based on the points per reception (PPR) rating used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

The rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.
