Below you will find our Week 1 Fantasy Football Player Projections for the 2009 fantasy football season. Our Weekly Player Projections include over 220 impact fantasy football players. Basically, we project weekly stats for every team’s top quarterback, top two running backs, top three wide receivers and top tight end. Week 1 is already posted and we will keep these projections updated all the way up to kickoff. We usually have our projections ready hours after the previous week’s Monday Night Football game.

Chargers Notes:
LaDainian Tomlinson – LT2 should have a nice day against the Raiders. Tomlinson is no longer a top 5 pick in redraft formats, but he he deserves to be ranked in that top 10-12 range.
Vincent Jackson – Jackson could be one of the biggest surprises this season in terms of middle-round receivers. Expect him to shine in Week 1.
Antonio Gates – Gates is very undervalued right now. Take advantage in dynasty formats before he hits the field in that first contest.

Raiders Notes:
JaMarcus Russell – FFX is not high on Russell.
Darren McFadden – McFadden might be the only well-playing Raider on in this match-up.
Chaz Schilens – Schilens is a deep sleeper fo ours this season. Monitor his play heading into Week 1.
Johnnie Lee Higgins – Higgins has talent, but that Oakland quarterback situation is very questionable this season.
Louis Murphy – Javon Walker or Darrius Heyward-Bey could end up being the third-best WR this year, but Murphy is our early favorite.
