Garcon led the entire NFL with 184 targets in 2013. The team acquired WR DeSean Jackson in the offseason, and even though he will see some balls, Garcon is still the main man in Washington. The Waiter will be a bargain after the top-five wideouts.

Salary: $7,100

4. WR Andre Johnson, Houston Texans

Johnson has never allowed inconsistent quarterback play to keep him from producing, so don't expect it to make a difference in Week 1. Johnson will see plenty of targets and should easily post 80-plus yards against an aging Skins secondary.

Salary: $7,400

3. RB Alfred Morris, Washington Redskins

Morris is one of the only full-time backs left in the game and to find him for under $8,000 is a steal. He will see 18-plus touches on the ground, and if the Skins get anywhere near the goal line, you can expect Alf to punch it in.

Salary: $7,700

2. QB Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins

RG3 will look to put his 2013 season behind him and the addition of D-Jack will help him instantly stretch out the field. Houston has a formidable defense and they will pressure Griffin on every snap, but the former Baylor standout will still be a decent low-end option for Week 1.

Salary: $8,400

1. RB Arian Foster, Houston Texans

Foster will start the season healthy, and as long as he is on the field, he will be a top-tier back. He may be a little expensive at $8,800, but he will see a steady dose of the rock this weekend.

Salary: $8,800
