Our long wait is finally over — Week 1 is here! Excitement for the new NFL season aside, let’s make sure we start our fantasy seasons right. Drafts are done; now it’s time to execute.

If you want to contend for your fantasy football championship in 2022, you have to be diligent about in-season management. And a big part of that is making start/sit decisions.

To help you start strategizing, I’ve outlined the early version of my fantasy football rankings into tiers so you can better visualize the drop-off in expected production at each position.

As always, there will be a ton of volatility in how I adjust my rankings up until kickoff, so be sure to check my updated ranks before making final decisions. I’ll also publish an updated version of these tiers before Sunday’s kickoff, but for now, let’s dive into the initial version of my Week 1 tiers!
