CBS Sports releases Week 1 PPR fantasy football start/sit guide
The cheat sheet uses confidence scores to help managers assess Week 1 line-up decisions and potential sleepers.
CBS Sports has released its Week 1 PPR fantasy football cheat sheet, offering matchup ratings and confidence scores for players across the opening round of games.
The guide is designed to give fantasy managers a quick reference for difficult start-or-sit decisions and to identify potential sleepers. Its ratings run from 1 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater confidence that a player should be started.
CBS Sports says the scores incorporate weekly analysis, data points, matchup outlooks and predicted game flow. The publication stresses that the figures are confidence scores rather than statistical projections or guarantees of performance.
Jahmyr Gibbs receives the guide’s highest rating at 10.0, followed by Ja’Marr Chase at 9.9 and Brock Bowers at 9.8. Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey are both rated 9.5, while Justin Jefferson receives a 9.3.
The ratings cover games listed from 9 to 14 September. CBS Sports directs managers to its weekly rankings for real-time updates and to related analysis for further explanation.
