Thomas Emerick launches his weekly offensive line continuity series and reveals how these crucial trench battles could give you the perfect buy-low opportunities in Week 2.

Each week this column will update offensive line continuity totals and starting lineups for every team while highlighting a few developments that could impact fantasy outcomes. There’s no better time than September to text league mates and move players, and offensive lines could be one factor they underweight in hold/sell decisions.

I’ve assessed offensive line continuity over the past couple decades and index heavily on units that possess continuity in terms of both a season on the field and a full offseason together. Check out the earlier parts of this series on how offensive line continuity impacts offensive production. This new weekly in-season column factors this and evaluates turbulence in the trenches as the 2025 season progresses.

Offensive line continuity by team entering the 2025 season

It’s important not to over-index on Week 1 outcomes, particularly at a position where performance is uncommonly dependent on the menace lining across. But when it comes to bold fantasy football transactions, we’ll want to track and make calls off incomplete information. It’s exhilarating really, and down the road these trades can make the difference between fourth place and the alternate universe where you made that trade and won that league.

The three offensive lines entering Week 1 with a sole returning starter are very much worth a look heading into Week 2. Did you overpay for Nico Collins, Justin Jefferson, or TreVeyon Henderson? There are no definitive answers to be had at this stage of the season, but maybe it’s on your mind. One clue is in the performance of the turned-over offensive line.
