I pick GP3 to beat The Queen's Kings in Week 1. I like Brenton’s receivers and the team around them, but I’m not a long way from picking Sonny.

The oddsmakers give GP3 a small edge too. Sonny has a starting lineup that can absolutely win this. A good first night would make the rest of the weekend a lot more interesting for both of them.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba and A.J. Brown get their matchup going in the opening NFL game. Sonny has one, Brenton has the other. Same game, different rooting interests. It’s a lot harder to appreciate a good catch when your opponent gets the points.

There’s still a full weekend after that. An early lead is nice, but it can also leave you staring at a score while the other manager keeps pointing out how many players haven’t gone yet. Brenton needs enough from the whole lineup to earn the pick. Sonny has enough to make him work for it.

I’m going GP3. Would I be shocked if Sonny wins? Not remotely.
