As we welcome the 2018-2019 NFL Season, I am going to follow in so many footsteps and write a weekly article predicting the outcome for each game. But I'll put a twist on it. Each week I'll make my predictions like normal, but I'll also predict who the best fantasy player will be for each game (with stats). 

I'll also show all time matchup records and who has the edge all time.

Heck, I'll give you so many useless facts that you'll question why I put so much time into this.
