Bills rally from a 15-point fourth-quarter hole to stun Baltimore 41-40 in a Week 1 classic, rewriting late-game fantasy appeal for Allen and company. Baltimore’s high-scoring pace is clear, but the win probability tilted Buffalo’s way late, with a backfield still mapping out roles and a defense that stretched for big plays.

In Minnesota, Jefferson endured drops but Addison flashed as a high-upside rookie, Pitts finally looked the part for Atlanta with big target counts, Flowers erupted for Baltimore, and Seattle’s JSN dominated targets. The opening slate sets up a wave of week-to-week pivots for fantasy managers.

Vikings rally past the Bears as a patchy start gives way to late-game clarity from JJ McCarthy, who steadies Minnesota with measured, clutch throws and a decisive fourth-quarter drive. Jefferson remains a fantasy cornerstone, while Caleb Williams shows ceiling but nerves in his NFL debut. Minnesota’s improved interior line—Donovan Jackson and Brian O’Neill anchoring the up-front—paves the way for a run-heavy finish with Jordan Mason. Chicago’s DJ Moore remains a prime air-weapon, even as the offense scuffles early.
