    The Matchup Show, Week 1: The Matchups That Decide the Big Games

    Three matchups decide the biggest games of NFL Week 1, and this is the film and the numbers on all three: Texans offense against the Bills defense, the Bengals passing game against the Buccaneers front, and Ravens at Colts. Houston's offense finished 30th in red zone touchdown rate last season and ran the fourth highest rate of three receiver sets down there. Buffalo has a new defensive coordinator and gave up 7.6 yards per carry against two tight end sets. Cincinnati is putting Joe Burrow under center after two years of shotgun at the second highest rate in the NFL, against the defense that blitzes more than anyone. And the Colts offense that ranked number one in the league through 10 weeks meets a Baltimore defense with a new coordinator who plays the lowest rate of man coverage in football. Plus the Seahawks and Patriots opener, the two injuries that came out of it, and one sneaky important matchup from each of us that nobody is talking about. 85% OFF THE WEEKLY BETTING PACKAGE We opened the season 3-1, hit both of our top props on Wednesday night, and a $100 bettor won $378 on the first game of the year.

Get the fantasy football bundle for $99 with code BUNDLE, the draft kit plus the full regular season, normally $190: https://sharp.football Rich Hribar is joined by JJ Zachariason of Late-Round Fantasy Football for the sixth year of their targets and avoids trade off. JJ brings Chase Brown, Malik Willis, Jaylen Waddle, Dalton Kincaid and Stefon Diggs. Rich brings DeVonta Smith, Justin Herbert, Christian Watson, D.J. Moore and Jordan Mason, plus a detour on whether Josh Allen is worth the pick this year. What You'll Learn: • Why a running back with almost nothing changing around him is the most stable early pick on their boards • The wide receiver whose splits without his old teammate have been absurd every time we get them • A quarterback going outside the top 20 who only needs his legs to finish as a QB1 • Why one of the league's best arms is being priced like a backup on some platforms • The receiver who just walked into a fifth-in-pass-attempts offense and a role the last guy could not hold • The receiver whose two biggest target competitors are both off the roster • The tight end who led his position in fantasy points per route and still finished TE10 • The one thing veterans who beat their ADP kept having in common, and the counter-case against it • The veteran whose route share, not his ability, is the only thing holding him back • How to find a late-round running back who can actually take over a backfield Chapters: 0:00 Intro 1:01 1.
