Week 1 Matchup Guide: The Spots to Attack and Avoid

Lineup decisions are won at the margins, and the margins are matchups. Below we break down where the leverage is this week: the smash spots worth forcing into your lineup, a couple of under-the-radar plays the market is sleeping on, and the name-brand option whose matchup makes it a fade.

A note on how we frame these: "target" means actively prioritize, "sneaky" means a quietly strong play that won't be widely started, and "avoid" means the matchup outweighs the talent this week. We keep score on these all season on the podcast.
