- Deshaun Watson threw nine interceptions in the first 12 days of training camp practice, and Week 1 against the Jaguars is his first game since Week 7 of 2024, when he ruptured his Achilles.
- Jacksonville's defense has allowed just four touchdowns and 10 interceptions across the past eight regular-season games dating back to Week 11 of last year, per the column.
- The Chiefs DST should be benched in Week 1 against Denver, with the column citing new additions for coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and a standout Broncos offensive line as reasons the unit could underperform.
- Bo Nix (ankle) is healthy for Week 1 against Kansas City, per the column.
- The Chiefs DST is projected to become a starting Fantasy option beginning in Week 3 at Miami and Week 4 at Las Vegas, per the column.
- Jaylen Waddle is cited as adding an element to Denver's offense, per the column, alongside a note that Broncos offensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's new-look Chiefs defense may need time to gel.
Why it matters: Fantasy managers setting Week 1 lineups are weighing a Denver matchup where the column says the Chiefs DST's new personnel isn't ready to produce, while Watson's rust after a torn Achilles and a Jaguars defense that has forced 10 interceptions in its last eight regular-season games creates a one-sided outlook against the Browns.
