Fantasy Football Week 1 projections: Daniel Jones outscores Justin Fields and full positional rankings
The NFL season kicks off on Thursday when the Lions head to Kansas City to face the Chiefs. The game also begins the Fantasy Football season for millions of people around the country and the world following weeks of rankings adjustments, mock drafts and finally putting their squads together with the hopes that a championship is only 17 weeks away (or in rare cases, 18 weeks).
Every Tuesday during the NFL season, Heath Cummings shares his weekly Fantasy Football position previews at CBS Sports. For the first time, SportsLine members will get exclusive access to his weekly projections that serve as a companion to those position previews.
