Fantasy football rankings for Week 1: The party begins

The NFL season is finally here. And fantasy football managers will finally get to see the fruits of their draft-day labor play out on the field.
Of course, this is probably the most difficult week to set an optimal lineup. So the best advice is to start your studs and let the chips (and salsa) fall where they may.
Fantasy football rankings for Week 1 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.
