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.

Week 1 in the NFC North delivered a nuanced read: Green Bay looks capable, with Jordan Love guiding an offense that can sustain drives; Minnesota’s JJ McCarthy flashed late, hinting at a high ceiling if the play-action and run game cohere; Detroit showed talent across the board but must solve run-game inconsistencies; Chicago remains a project under a new staff. Fantasy takeaways center on Love’s upside, Jefferson’s volume, and McCarthy’s late-game poise shaping the division’s ceiling.
