Week 1 fantasy preview kicks off with Cowboys vs Eagles on Thursday and Chiefs vs Chargers in Sao Paulo, pairing top-tier quarterback play with big-play ceilings across WRs and RBs. Josh Allen sits down for a Bills chat ahead of Bills-Ravens, anchoring a slate that also features Steelers-Jets and Lions-Packers as potential week-opening breakout opportunities. The episode leans into matchup-driven angles, red-zone usage, and early-season trends to shape early lineup and DFS decisions.

Expect emphasis on pass-heavy offenses, early snap splits, and risk-reward play in high-profile tilts, plus sleepers who could emerge with increased roles in Week 1. Narrative momentum around New York’s Rodgers era and the Packers’ retooled offense adds another layer for fantasy managers plotting rosters and stacks this opening weekend.

Bills and Ravens unveil Week 1 injury reports ahead of Sunday Night Football at Highmark Stadium. Bills: Tyler Bass (hip/groin) did not practice; Elijah Moore (personal) listed; Tre'Davious White (groin) limited; Keon Coleman (groin) limited; Christian Benford (groin) full; Khalil Shakir (ankle) limited. Ravens: Isiah Likely (foot) did not practice; Patrick Richard (calf) limited; Jaire Alexander (knee) limited; Daniel Faalele (illness) limited.

Fantasy managers should monitor practice statuses closely. If Shakir, Coleman, or White are limited, Elijah Moore could lead Bills targets; Bills’ secondary depth could shift with White’s status. For Ravens, Likely’s status will influence TE usage in Week 1; with Alexander possibly limited, Bills’ aerial attack could exploit matchup edges. Kicking and field-goal dynamics also hinge on Bass and the health of the kicking unit.

Allen headlines Week 1 with MVP buzz and a BR nod as the top QB, facing a Ravens defense that blends size and discipline. Expect Buffalo to lean on Allen’s rushing upside and big-play passing to set a ceiling, even in a tough matchup. Cook and Davis are projected to share carries behind a formidable front, with Cook’s red-zone punch and Davis as a potential change-of-pace option. Shakir and Kincaid factor as Buffalo’s primary pass-game weapons, while Baltimore’s aerial defense remains a test.

Buffalo’s run game is unlikely to erase the challenge from Baltimore’s front, and the Jaguars’ passing-yard pace last season hints at seams to exploit if Buffalo stays patient with play-action and tempo. Allen’s Week 1 floor remains high thanks to rushing TD upside and authoritative target distribution to Shakir, Kincaid, and the Bills’ receiving corps. Fantasy managers should price Allen as a high-ceiling anchor, with Shakir and Kincaid as upside depending on game flow and Ravens’ coverage.

Buffalo's Week 1 outlook centers on kicking chaos and groin issues. Bass is downgraded with a left hip/groin problem and limited practice, potentially forcing Matt Prater to handle kicks if Bass can't go.

Benford returned to full practice, Shakir and Coleman logged solid sessions, while White's groin doubt lingers. Elijah Moore was out for personal reasons. DeWayne Carter appears headed to IR, and the final injury report lands Friday—crucial for fantasy rosters and daily planning.
