  "account": "Joe Burrow remains the leading fantasy football quarterback for Week 1, according to the latest rankings. The Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback is followed closely by Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles, Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, and Baker Mayfield of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. These top five quarterbacks are joined by Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers, Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys, Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams, Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears, and Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions. The rankings take into account likely game script, previous performance, and strength of opponent. They are subject to change throughout Week 1. Other rankings, including running backs and wide receivers, can be found on the provided link. Players from the previous week's New England Patriots-Seattle Seahawks game have been removed from the current rankings.",
