We break down the NFL schedule release and what it could mean for some players in the first few weeks of the fantasy season. Plus, we take a look ahead at new fantasy standards, key matchups, and how teams will approach a 17-game schedule. When might we see Justin Fields (9:25) take the starting job in Chicago, which RBs appear to have the best fantasy playoff schedules (11:24), and is Kyle Pitts (24:53) drastically overvalued in redraft leagues?
