MIAMI, Sept. 5 (UPI) — Christian McCaffrey and Bijan Robinson lead my top 30 fantasy football quarterbacks for Week 1.

Jonathan Taylor, Saquon Barkley, and James Cook are my other top-five picks. Kenneth Walker, Breece Hall, Jahmyr Gibbs, Travis Etienne, and Josh Jacobs should all be considered top-10 picks for Week 1.

My rankings are based on several factors including: likely workload, strength of opponent, previous match history, expected red zone opportunities and expected game scenario.

My Week 1 rankings for point guards, wingers, and centers will also be available.

All positional rankings will be updated throughout the week. Players from the Kansas City Chiefs-Baltimore Ravens game will be removed after the season opener on Thursday in Kansas City, Mo. Players will also be removed from or adjusted to the rankings based on injuries.
