It's the first week of the XFL season and it comes with so many unknowns. The teams depth charts are slowly coming in and people are searching hard for any information that can give them a leg up on their DFS competition this weekend. I have been updating this set of Rankings throughout the week as I have searched out news. Everything is loaded in this google spreadsheet that I am happy to share with our Footballguys community.
There is a little bit of injury news to monitor as quarterback Josh Johnson is a game-time decision for the LA Wildcats and from the same team WR Tre McBride is also questionable. The other big news is that Dallas Renegades quarterback Landry Jones is also questionable. Likely with the lack of any history on how the XFL treats injuries these are three key players that you might be better off avoiding all together.
The other big news so far is the announcement of the quarterbacks for all the teams. Phillip Walker will start for the Houston Roughnecks as he beat out Connor Cook. Houston is a passing attack that you will want to load up on as they don't have a single tight end on their roster and and loaded up on wide receivers such as Sammie Coates Jr and Kahlil Lewis who make great stack options this weekend.
All the team Depth Charts have been listed over on XFL.com
Here are the Vegas point spreads:
- Seattle vs DC -6.5
- LA vs Houston -3.5
- Tampa Bay vs New York +2.5
- STL vs Dallas -7.0
