At NBC Sports EDGE, we’re striving to give you the tools to guide you to winning your league’s fantasy football championship. With Week 1 looming closer, it’s time to unveil our 2021 NFL Season Tools. Aimed at giving you the knowledge you need to stay a step ahead of your league-mates all season long — from projections, weekly rankings, league sync, top waiver recommendations and positional reports, to exclusive expert columns — this year’s edition is the finest we’ve ever produced.
After looking at Week 1 RB projections in our second Season Tools preview, we’re highlighting Week 1 WR projections today. Projections are a helpful way for managers to gauge the difficulty of a player’s matchup on any given week, as well as offer context into whether or not to expect a boom or bust performance, and thus help you make educated start/sit decisions. While the WR position has depth all around the league, we’re confident our projections can help you make confident and informed lineup decisions every time you set your lineup.
