Week 1 revealed a dominant new era for edge pressure, led by a pass-rush specialist who flashed elite timing and snap discipline against a top tackle. 92.7 PFF pass-rush grade and 43.8% win rate on 19 snaps underscore the blueprint for how a pure rusher can tilt an entire game plan. Rookies Abdul Carter and Shemar Stewart followed with eye-opening weeks, while a cadre of veterans flashed their ceiling as Week 1 accelerators for fantasy lines and bets.

The data positions the Eagles’ Joshua Uche as a marquee edge weapon, with top-tier grades and conversion rates; Carter and Stewart show the rookies' immediate impact in Week 1. Across the league, four players posted 40%+ win rates while the top graders and sack counts hint at the season-long significance of a relentless pass rush for both team success and fantasy exploitation.

In short, pressure continues to define outcomes: teams with elite rushes logged winning records, and the Week 1 leaders are the players fantasy managers will want to chase and time their bets around in coming weeks.
