Fantasy football analysts identify running back start and sit options for week one

Fantasy managers enter the first week of the NFL season navigating roster uncertainties and injury reports. Analysts recommend starting D'Andre Swift against the Carolina Panthers, noting the favorable defensive matchup for the Arizona Cardinals player. Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle of the Pittsburgh Steelers also represent start candidates due to their expected workloads against the Atlanta Falcons. Conversely, managers are advised to sit Carolina running backs Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks, both of whom have missed practice time with injuries. Jeremiyah Love is also labeled a sit candidate for the Arizona Cardinals due to a challenging matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers and his role as a backup to Tyler Allgeier. Decisions remain fluid as injury statuses and depth chart rotations become clearer ahead of kickoff.
