ESPN has published a fantasy football advice column ahead of Week 1 of the NFL season, offering guidance on which players to start or sit in fantasy lineups, according to the outlet.
The article, titled "Start Bucs, sit Mahomes, more Week 1 decisions," recommends starting players from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers while advising fantasy managers to sit Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, ESPN reported.
According to ESPN, the piece addresses "more than a dozen players" who fantasy football participants may be uncertain about starting or benching in the season's opening week.
The column is part of ESPN's ongoing fantasy football coverage, which typically provides weekly recommendations to help fantasy team owners make lineup decisions based on matchups and player performance expectations.
