The 2023 NFL season is underway and the first week will bring plenty of tough Fantasy football start-sit decisions. Tight end depth is already limited, but potential gametime decisions for George Kittle (groin) and Mark Andrews (quad) only further complicate matters. Before setting your Week 1 Fantasy football lineups for the 2023 NFL season, you NEED to see what SportsLine's advanced computer model has to say. 

When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine's model beat human experts for the past several seasons, especially when there were big differences in ranking! That could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.

Now the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its latest Week 1 Fantasy football rankings.

For Week 1, the model's top three running backs are Austin Ekeler, Tony Pollard and Bijan Robinson. Ekeler certainly comes as no surprise after scoring 38 times and producing 3,195 scrimmage yards the last two years. Pollard is in his first season as a the No. 1 back in Dallas and Robinson is a rookie. Both have plenty of big-play ability, and that upside makes them top-three Fantasy football running backs for Week 1.

The model has also revealed its top picks at every position and is also calling for a SHOCKING quarterback you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top five of its Fantasy football rankings! This pick could be the difference between winning BIG and going home with nothing. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in your lineups.
