Fantasy football bold predictions for Week 1 headlined by Luther Burden, Makai Lemon
Who will excel in Week 1? Who will disappoint? Bold predictions for Week 1 of the fantasy football season.
Week 1 of the fantasy football season offers bold predictions, with the emphasis on Luther Burden, Makai Lemon, and other high-profile players. The NFL Kickoff game and the game in Australia have provided no data for predictions, so all expectations are guesses. Despite this, the data suggests Kenneth Walker of the Chiefs will outscore Patrick Mahomes, as Walker was a top free agent this offseason.
Lemon, despite some concerns, is predicted to have the best rookie debut, facing a weak Washington Commanders defense. Meanwhile, Kirk Cousins is predicted to be a top-15 QB in Week 1, despite missing Brock Bowers. However, Josh Allen is not expected to be a top-20 QB, due to the Buffalo Bills' strong defense. Lastly, Luther Burden, once a fantasy darling, is predicted not to be a top-40 WR, due to his modest production in previous years and competition from other players.
