NFL Week 1 is here, and Chris Welsh and Andrew Erickson break down the biggest storylines before kickoff, starting with the bombshell Brock Bowers injury news. What does Bowers' absence mean for the Las Vegas Raiders, Michael Mayer, Tre Tucker and the rest of the offense, and should fantasy football managers be worried about Bowers' long-term durability?
The guys also examine Kyler Murray's fit with the Minnesota Vikings and whether he can keep Justin Jefferson happy, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills facing an elite Houston Texans defense, Malik Nabers' Week 1 outlook and the early questions surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles offense. Plus, they tackle several fantasy football lineup questions, including Michael Mayer, Juwan Johnson and Trey Tucker.
Finally, can Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos make an early AFC statement against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs? Welsh and Erickson discuss whether Denver could emerge as a legitimate Super Bowl favorite, plus their Week 1 predictions, upset picks and the NFL storylines that could define the opening weekend.
