Fantasy football WR rankings, Week 1
Up: Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals. If Michael Floyd (hand) is out or limited, Fitz gets a boost in our rankings. And don’t forget about John Brown, who could move up to WR2 territory.
Down: Mike Evans, Buccaneers. Injury alert: Evans missed another practice Thursday with a hamstring injury and is now in jeopardy of missing Week 1. If he’s out, Vincent Jackson gets a huge fantasy boost.

Fantasy football RB rankings, Week 1
Up: T.J. Yeldon, Jaguars. As expected, Yeldon was officially named the Jags’ starter this week, which moved him a couple of spots up our Week 1 running back rankings.
Down: Devonta Freeman, Falcons. In a surprise move, the Falcons listed rookie Tevin Coleman as the starter over Freeman, who’s not fully over a hamstring injury. We’re lot loving either for Week 1 until this situation sorts itself out.

Fantasy football TE rankings, Week 1
Up: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Bucs. This one’s speculative. If Mike Evans (hammy) is out, we expect ASJ to have a bigger presence, especially in the red zone.
Down: Ladarius Green, Chargers. First a sleeper, now Green is being checked out for a concussion, which puts his status for Sunday in question. We’re not moving him from his spot at No. 10 (yet).
