And it’s not as if it’s only those four TEs who might be out this week. We all know Delanie Walker, Greg Olsen, and Evan Engram – three of our preseason top-eight TEs – are on the shelf, and both Trey Burton and Howard’s replacement, Cameron Brate, are on bye. It’s very possible Gronk and Kelce will play this week, especially with Kelce walking off the field under his own power late in Monday night’s game, but things are still rough in the tight end world....

For now, here are the position-by-position picks for Week 1. WEEK 1 RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | Defense | Kicker Fantasy Football Week 1 Start ‘Em: Quarterbacks Every-week starts (when they’re playing) Aaron Rodgers, Packers (vs. SEA), Tom Brady, Patriots (vs. KC), Drew Brees, Saints (at MIN), Matt Ryan, Falcons (at CHI), Russell Wilson, Seahawks (at GB) Strong starts Cam Newton, Panthers (vs....

There are also some must-have handcuffs, including Nyheim Hines, who, like the aforementioned Jackson, could take advantage of an injury....

Aside from Jimmy Garoppolo and Green, there weren’t many big injuries coming out of Week 3 (we think), but there were plenty of key guys “out” leading into Sunday’s games. As we saw with Leonard Fournette, absences expected to last only a week can sometimes turn into two (or more), so don’t be afraid to add some of the “backups” from our full waiver list, at least as free agents....

Some NHLers create a high shot volume every season, such as dependable Bruins center Patrice Bergeron, who registered the third-most shots in the NHL (302) in 2016-17. Conversely, speedy Montreal winger Paul Byron actually tallied one more goal (22) than Bergeron (21) last season despite registering only 96 shots on goal! 2017 RANKINGS:CENTERS | LEFT WINGS | RIGHT WINGS | DEFENSEMEN | GOALIES | TOP 200 Despite the goal-scoring similarities, are these two players equal in terms of fantasy value?...
