Week 1 Survivor Picks

That’s where the game plan gets tricky. Since you can only use a team once, you want to make sure it counts. And have plenty of others in the bank for the rest of the campaign.

The Locker Room is here to give some suggestions for Week 1 of the season from some of its writers.

Best of luck:

• Donald Norton, Minnesota Vikings: A brief pillage fight ensues before Justin Jefferson and Co. lay waste to the hardly fabulous Baker and his Buccaneers.
• Paolo Go, Washington Commanders: Not only are the Arizona Cardinals the oppenent, but this is likely the only time I feel comfortable picking this team.
• Riley Thomas, Washington Commanders: Sam Howell has drawn rave reviews in the offseason, and Arizona will likely start Josh Dobbs at QB (yikes). The Commanders’ offense should look improved, and the defense has enough to shut down the Bucs.
• Perry Petty, Seattle Seahawks: Usually like to stay away from divisional rivalries but no Cooper Kupp for the Rams along with many other maladies make Pete Carroll’s Seahawks look like a solid choice.
