Each week, PFF's fantasy football analysts post rankings in PPR, non- PPR and 0.5 PPR formats for the league's offensive skill positions. IDP rankings are also folded into the mix, making the PFF rankings pages the go-to resource for all your fantasy football decisions ahead of the 2021 NFL season.
According to FantasyPros, my rankings placed second in accuracy among 149 experts in 2020 and third among 129 experts in 2019. Through one week of the 2021 season, I rank 15th out of 192.

A number of quarterbacks who put up disappointing numbers in Week 1 will have a chance to rebound in Week 2. Josh Allen and Aaron Rodgers were supposed to be top-six fantasy quarterbacks this year but finished outside the top half of fantasy quarterbacks last Sunday. Nevertheless, they should remain in starting lineups this week without hesitation.
It could also be tempting to start Joe Burrow or Baker Mayfield. The two young quarterbacks fell outside the top-20 fantasy quarterbacks in Week 1 but have two of the most favorable matchups of the week. Nevertheless, they are worth starting for any fantasy manager who didn’t draft a top-10 option.
