Marshall has a dream matchup in Week 1, as he faces off against an undersized Buffalo secondary. The veteran wideout will shine this week and will be a great find in any type of daily format in Week 1.

In two games against Baltimore last season, Green hauled in 212 yards and two touchdowns. He is the most overlooked top-five wideout and will put up a huge fantasy performance in Week 1. Look for him to be a bargain after Demaryius Thomas and Calvin Johnson come off the board in daily leagues.

Bryant has hauled in 25 touchdowns over the past two seasons, which is second only to TE Jimmy Graham. Bryant will see plenty of balls this weekend and will be a guaranteed top-five wideout in daily formats.

Thomas will immediately see more targets with WR Wes Welker out the first four games. D-Train has emerged as the favorite receiver for QB Peyton Manning and will easily haul in 100 yards with one TD in Week 1.

Johnson may not play on Sunday, as his team is set to play on Monday, but he is still the best wideout in all of fantasy. He will continue to occupy the top spot in daily leagues week after week and will be worth the money in Week 1.
