This evening the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons christen the 2018 NFL season, giving a multitude of fans 17 weeks of hope for a championship team. Beyond the Lombardi Trophy are championships to be won at the fantasy level. This season, with the assistance of fantasy football expert Matt Phillips, I will be offering up options to start and sit.
This article will focus specifically on tonight’s players, with recommendations for Sunday and Monday games to be posted on Saturday. This is an important context, especially in looking at the quarterback position. For example, Matt Ryan and Nick Foles are projected to have similar numbers, but the evaluation to start and sit is based on which of the two from tonight’s game would be a better staring option.
