Fantasy Football Week 1: Cash or Trash?
One huge game can change a player’s fantasy value overnight, but deciding which Week 1 performances actually matter is another story. Rich Dotson, Matt O’Hara, and Garret Price put the biggest opening-week surprises through the Cash or Trash test.

Is the Breakout Real?
Jalen Coker exploded for 138 yards and two touchdowns, but the bigger takeaway may be that his role is not going away. Carolina could have two fantasy relevant receivers even if Tetairoa McMillan remains the top option.
Deebo Samuel also gets the cash treatment. His combination of targets and rushing opportunities could provide a strong weekly floor in San Francisco.
Don’t Trust Every Box Score
A big fantasy total does not automatically mean the underlying role is safe. Chuba Hubbard scored twice, but Jonathan Brooks could continue taking more of the backfield as the season progresses.
The guys also debate Tyler Shuck, Devaughn Vele, Bucky Irving, DeVonta Smith, and whether Travis Etienne can remain a high-end fantasy running back with increasing competition for touches.
