Each week I’ll comb through the options at each position to bring you my picks for the players with the best combination of safety and upside over a wide price range. These are guys you’ll use in cash games for the most part, but there’s nothing wrong with slotting a couple into your tournament lineups as well for stability.

 

Quarterback

Tony Romo $7,300: Taking the quarterback in one of the week’s highest projected scoring games is generally a smart move, and there are several elite options to choose from in Week 1, including Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers, and Peyton Manning.

Romo is priced significantly below them but has similar upside. He has two trusted and productive receiving options in Dez Bryant and Jason Witten (see below), plus what should amount to a solid rushing attack. Romo typically shreds the Giants, averaging +5 fantasy points more per game against them than other teams over the past four seasons.
