- Now let's get a look at our fantasy freebies for this week. These are players who are under 25% started in Yahoo league and we think are poised for a big week. Andy, your first.

ANDY BEHRENS: Yeah there's probably not a player that I have more shares of in the fantasy portfolio than DeVonta Smith. Absolutely love him this season. I think he has a clear chance to be the number one receiving option for the Eagles, for whatever that's worth. Got a pretty clear path to 130- 140 targets on the season. He was a much needed addition to that offense.

Who does he get in opening week? It's Atlanta. They gave up 294 passing yards per game last year. Gave up the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, the most passing yardage on the season. This is as good as a match-up gets. I don't think that defense is going to be a whole lot better. I think Smith's season starts off with serious volume. I think he has a big week. This is going to be a fun shootout match-up, and I think Smith goes off here. I think he needs to be started in most lineups.
