FOOTBALL IS BACK BABY! That also means that fantasy football is finally getting underway too and the first game of the NFL season will pit the Atlanta Falcons against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

It’s always kind of tough figuring out who to start and who to sit in week one of fantasy football because we’re not sure what the teams are going to look like. Which players will end up having big seasons? We don’t know in week one.

The good news about that, however, is that no one knows, so you’re not at any disadvantage. The NFL gave us a darn good match-up in week one, as the Super Bowl champion Eagles (never thought I’d say that) are welcoming in the Falcons.

These two teams met in the NFC Divisional Round last year, with the Eagles obviously reigning supreme over the Dirty Birds of Atlanta. The Eagles went on to win the Super Bowl and the Falcons will now have to step into Philly and find a way to win in a tough environment.

So, who should you start and who should you sit this week? Let’s take a look.
