START ‘EM FOR WEEK ONE

Aaron Rodgers, QB, Packers

I know this seems obvious because of his talent, but this is more so me saying not to worry about the Bears great defense. Rodgers averaged just under 20 ppg against the Bears last season. Considering he missed a good portion of the opening game due to injury, he is a safe bet to produce in fantasy. Plus, look at his mustache. Are you going to bet against that ‘stache? I know for sure that I’m not.

Geronimo Allison, WR, Packers

Allison is somewhat of a sleeper, as he only appeared in six games for the Packers in 2018. In five of those six games, his fantasy points were 13, 15.6, 12.4 and a whopping 17.9 against the Bears in week one. Allison may be a number two receiver on an Aaron Rodgers led offense, which is extremely valuable.

Taylor Gabriel, WR, Bears

Gabriel is an intriguing option this week. It appears as if Anthony Miller will be playing, but he is still listed an questionable. Combine that with the fact that Trey Burton is likely out, and you can see a role for Gabriel in the offense. If you need flex help, Gabriel might be a cheap waiver wire pickup to consider in week one.
