NFL Fantasy Football Adjustment #2

Start Pat Freiermuth against San Francisco 49ers

Pat Freiermuth will have a big role on Sunday afternoon. He’ll receive targets early and often to help Kenny Pickett gain confidence. In 2022, the 49ers ranked fourth in coverage (87.1) and second in defensive ratings (84.1). Pickett will need a safety blanket, and Freiermuth is the perfect man.

NFL Fantasy Football Adjustment #1

Sit Buffalo Bills Defense against New York Jets

Defeating the Jets in Week 1 is a big challenge for Sean McDermott’s team. MetLife Stadium fans will help New York make the most of home-field advantage. I expect Aaron Rodger’s debut to be one for the ages. He has weapons and could create problems for Buffalo’s defense.
