Week 1 of the 2016-17 NFL regular season has arrived. With that, all fantasy football drafts should be in the books as well unless your commissioner likes to wait till the last second and schedule it the night before the season opening Thursday nighter. If you’re in a 10-12 team league, setting this week’s lineup should be pretty easy. But if you’re in a larger league or in the mood to gamble, I’ve got some sleepers you might want to lock into your lineups for your first matchup....
The Houston Texans kick off the defense of their AFC South title in Week 1 against a Chicago Bears team that enters 2016 off its second straight losing season and first under the watch of John Fox.

The Minnesota Vikings won the NFC North a season ago and looked primed to challenge for it again in 2016 with most of the same key pieces.

The Cincinnati Bengals looked like Super Bowl contenders a season ago before an injury to quarterback Andy Dalton torpedoed those chances. Dalton is back healthy and the Bengals return the core of last year’s impressive squad, and they will hope to begin quickly in Week 1 of the regular season against the New York Jets. Cincinnati is the road favorite based on its stronger roster....
The Baltimore Ravens took a major step back last season mostly due to mass injuries to key personnel. The Buffalo Bills did as well which came as quite the surprise with Rex Ryan brought in to turn the defense into a well-oiled killing machine instead of the middle of the road stop unit it ended up being. Each has much to prove in this Week 1 clash with both squads looking to quickly turn the page on last season....
The Atlanta Falcons got off to a quick start in 2015 before faltering badly down the stretch. They will aim for the same hot beginning but more prolonged success this year. It all begins in Week 1 of the regular season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Falcons are a slight favorite based on the home field advantage, but oddsmakers believe the talent level on these teams is very close....
It’s completely uncommon for a team to trade its starting quarterback just a week before the regular season, but that was the case with the Philadelphia Eagles. They sent Sam Bradford to the Vikings in return for first and fourth round draft picks, and are now planning on using No. 2 overall pick Carson Wentz in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns if Wentz is sufficiently recovered from a preseason rib injury. The switch at quarterback has dropped the Eagles’ odds of winning this game, although they are still the favorites against a lower-tier opponent....

Neither the Los Angeles Rams nor San Francisco 49ers are expected to make much noise in the NFC West this season with the former carrying +1450 odds and the latter checking in at +4000 to win the division. Regardless, the division rivals will cross paths in the second leg of the Week 1 Monday Night Football doubleheader.

Anyone can put together a solid fantasy football team with their first five picks. Ok, maybe not anyone but all seasoned fantasy players should be able to form a solid foundation early in the draft. While that’s all fine and dandy, it’s the sleepers and players with breakout potential snagged later in the draft that allow for improving your team via trades down the road. With the first three weeks of the preseason now in the books, we’ve got a better idea of who some of those diamonds in the rough just might be.Let’s dig in and take a look at some of these late round flyers or waiver wire pick-ups for those that have already drafted....
Even with Tom Brady suspended the first month of the season, the New England Patriots are still the second choice of oddsmakers to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. That speaks volumes for the task an Arizona Cardinals team will be forced to deal with after taking a huge dump in the NFC Championship Game. The home crowd will expect nothing but excellence, but you can bet your bottom dollar Bill Belichick will have something up his sleeve to keep this Week 1 tilt interesting all the way through....
The Carolina Panthers lost a grand total of two games last season. One of those defeats just so happened to come against the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. Riverboat Ron and Cam Newton will get an immediate shot at avenging that bitter 24-10 loss in both teams’ 2016 Week 1 season opener. To get the job done, Carolina will have to find a way to solve the riddle that was a Denver defense that forced four turnovers en route to pulling out the upset victory....
Looking to close out their exhibition season with three straight wins and covers will be a Washington Redskins side that’s gotten no appreciation whatsoever for winning the NFC East last year heading into the regular season.

He is expected to miss a big chunk of the season, and with the previous season-ending injury to backup Kellen Moore, has put Dak Prescott atop the depth chart....
The Green Bay Packers are known for their high-flying offense led by star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but it’s their defense which has been getting the job done during the preseason. The team has gone 3-0 thus far in the exhibition schedule and has allowed only an average of 10 points per game....
Jared Goff might be the quarterback of the future for the Los Angeles Rams, but it’s not looking as if he will be the signal-caller of the present. The No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft is running second string behind Case Keenum and figures to stay there....
The Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints have gone different ways this preseason, but that hasn’t stopped oddsmakers from believing a correction is coming. The Ravens are undefeated through three preseason games while the Saints are winless....
Denver Broncos rookie first-round pick Paxton Lynch won’t be starting once the regular season begins, but hopes to get some much-needed experience in Week 4 of the preseason. Lynch is expected to play the entire game against the Arizona Cardinals....
