Top 10 week 1 fantasy football quarterbacks, including Cam Newton

Until someone proves that they can stop Patrick Mahomes, he will be at the top spot on the list this season. Mahomes averaged a whopping 25.3 fantasy points per game last season, nearly four more than Matt Ryan, who finished second. He doesn’t draw a great matchup on the road against a tough Jaguars defense, but Mahomes more than proved that he was matchup-proof last year.

At home, Drew Brees is a different animal. He averaged 24.4 points per game last season when he played in the Superdome, making him the second-best fantasy quarterback when he plays at home. Away from New Orleans? He’s just ordinary and averaged just 15.5 fantasy points last year. Thankfully, Brees gets to play his first game at home against the Houston Texans in a game that should be a shootout.
