Sunday Update complete

Bye Week: Green Bay, Oakland, Pittsburgh, Seattle

Chargers vs. Titans is an early game in London

Here are my rankings (if you want a second opinion, please see our formula-based projections - these are not tied into my rankings at all) for the coming week at each position to help you decide your starting lineup. Our rankings are based on the following scoring system: four points for a passing touchdown; six points for a rushing/receiving touchdown; one point for every 20 passing yards; and one point for every 10 rushing/receiving yards. Most importantly, the default rankings are now for PPR leagues.

**** PLEASE READ: Times change, and with them, so do I, even if I go kicking and screaming into the good night. The vast majority of the fantasy football universe plays with some form of PPR -whether it's a full point or 1/2 point. ESPN's default is full-point PPR, Yahoo's is .5 PPR. The DFS games for the vast majority are either half or full point PPR. I'm sympathetic to those of you who would prefer standard rankings, so please, feel free to ask your questions in the comments regarding how a player might change in a standard scoring league. ****

***PLEASE READ, PART II - The masses (ok, the not-so-silent minority) have spoken, and you really want more representation for standard leagues too, so the Flex Rankings are now Standard scoring.***

Typically, this article will be posted on Tuesday evenings. ***These are not draft

Bye Week: Green Bay, Oakland, Pittsburgh, Seattle

Chargers vs. Titans is an early game in London

***PLEASE READ, PART II - The masses (ok, the not-so-silent minority) have spoken, and you really want more representation for standard leagues too, so the Flex Rankings are now Standard scoring.***

Typically, this article will be posted on Tuesday evenings. ***These are not draft rankings. They are solely for the given week of the season.***

I will update these during the week, usually twice per week to account for injury or other news during practice. The timing of those updates will vary based on the news at hand and my schedule for the given week. But the first of those updates usually won't happen until Thursday. At any rate, I will post a "last updated" note at the top of the article, or an "update in progress" note if it's while I'm doing it. If there is no such note, that means it's my first pass at the rankings for this current week.

By all means, if you want to discuss a rank, or want me to add a player, chime in on the comments. I try to be receptive to your feedback and try to respond to most comments, though on occasion the volume can be quite thick. This first week in particular, but in other weeks as well, I will change ranks according to injuries and sometimes even a change of heart. Please refer to the rankings first when asking "should I start Player A vs. Player B?". And then refer to the rankings again before asking a generic starting decision question. If you really desire a response to a starting question that doesn't have added complexity, please use our Ask An Expert service - it comes with your subscription. Otherwise, my response will correspond with the rankings. If I rank one player before another, that's how I plan on making my starting decisions.

Quarterback

1.	Patrick Mahomes KC vs. Cin
2.	Matt Ryan ATL vs. NYG Note: In the NFC South we trust. Ryan remains a machine, though this matchup against the Giants might prove more difficult than the Bucs did.
3.	Jared Goff LA at SF Note: The Broncos' pass rush was a difference-maker on Sunday - particularly effective in shutting down the Rams on play-action passes.
4.	Carson Wentz PHI vs. Car Note: (Back) Limited practice Wednesday, full practice Thursday.*
5.	Jameis Winston TB vs. Cle Note: Full practice Wednesday despite being designated with a hip injury.*
6.	Andy Dalton CIN at KC Note: Coming off of a tough day against the Steelers - he had very little time and dealt with a lot of drops, and in one case, cowardly coaching.
7.	Matthew Stafford DET at Mia
8.	Kirk Cousins MIN at NYJ Note: High winds could be an issue in this game.*
9.	Andrew Luck IND vs. Buf
10.	Cam Newton CAR at Phi
11.	Drew Brees NO at Bal Note: Tough call with Saints players this week, facing the Ravens' stifling defense in Baltimore.
12.	Tom Brady NE at Chi Note: Downgraded because of Gronk's absence.*
13.	Eli Manning NYG at Atl
14.	Philip Rivers LAC vs. Ten
15.	Deshaun Watson HOU at Jax Note: Suffered seven sacks and was hit four times by the Bills. He put the ball on the ground three times, losing it once. Full practice Wednesday despite his myriad injuries.
16.	Baker Mayfield CLE at TB Note: Dealing with a sore ankle, but isn't expected to miss any time, which is especially good given the matchup against the Bucs this week. Not listed on the initial injury report.*
17.	Mitchell Trubisky CHI vs. NE
18.	Joe Flacco BAL vs. NO
19.	*Case Keenum DEN at Ari Note: The Broncos have no plans to try out Chad Kelly instead of Keenum yet, but it's noteworthy that the question is being asked. Keenum has at least one interception in every game.
20.	Marcus Mariota TEN at LAC Note: More sacks than passes completed against the Ravens.
21.	Blake Bortles JAC vs. Hou Note: Not the most Bortles-type game ever, because we didn't get the garbage time production this time around. But the struggles again were real.
22.	Dak Prescott DAL at Was Note: Surprisingly effective against the Jaguars - but as colleague Chris Liss suggested on-air on Monday, the Cowboys were a bad matchup for them. He's also
23.	C.J. Beathard SF vs. LAR
24.	Sam Darnold NYJ vs. Min Note: Coming off of two consecutive efficient games, with a third home game in a row, though the opponent is a step up in class. *Moved down two slots because of high winds in Jersey.*
25.	Brock Osweiler MIA vs. Det Note: Good game against the Bears, but Tannehill will take back over when healthy. Tannehill has already been ruled out this week.*
26.	Alex Smith WAS vs. Dal
27.	Derek Anderson BUF at Ind Note: Also a candidate to start with Allen out, though Peterman got the nod last week. Named the starter ahead of Nathan Peterman this week.*
28.	Josh Rosen ARZ vs. Den
29.	*Josh Allen BUF at Ind Note: Week-to-week with an elbow injury, and definitely won't start in Week 7. There are some reports that he suffered some UCL damage, but will not undergo Tommy John surgery.
30.	Ryan Tannehill MIA vs. Det Note: (Shoulder) Day-to-day after his late scratch in Week 6, but coach Adam Gase affirmed that Tannehill will remain the starter when healthy. Tannehill has a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder and has been ruled out again this week, though the Dolphins have said that he won't need surgery.*

Running Backs

1.	Todd Gurley LA at SF
2.	Saquon Barkley NYG at Atl
3.	Kareem Hunt KC vs. Cin
4.	Ezekiel Elliott DAL at Was
5.	Joe Mixon CIN at KC
6.	Christian McCaffrey CAR at Phi
7.	Alvin Kamara NO at Bal Note: Resist the urge to panic after his workload was limited so much in Week 5 - this is the same setup as last season between he and Ingram, and he was plenty valuable then.
8.	David Johnson ARZ vs. Den
9.	*James White NE at Chi Note: White is starting to draw more defensive attention - on the Brady scramble TD, he drew two defenders.
10.	Sony Michel NE at Chi Note: Another strong performance - unfortunately on the bench for some of his owners because of the 'game-time decision' report from Ian Rapoport on Sunday morning, for the Sunday night game. (Knee) Limited practice Wednesday. On track to play despite being listed as questionable.*
11.	Mark Ingram NO at Bal
12.	Nick Chubb CLE at TB Note: Probably won't get many targets in the passing game, but should carry the load on the ground.*
13.	LeSean McCoy BUF at Ind
14.	Tarik Cohen CHI vs. NE
15.	Latavius Murray MIN at NYJ Note: Starting again with Cook ruled out.*
16.	Kerryon Johnson DET at Mia Note: (Ankle) Full practice Wednesday.*
17.	Phillip Lindsay DEN at Ari
18.	T.J. Yeldon JAC vs. Hou Note: (Foot/ankle) Sat out practice Wednesday, had a limited practice Thursday, while Fournette sat out both practices. Hyde is INACTIVE after all.*
19.	Kenyan Drake MIA vs. Det Note: Coughed up a fumble on the 1-yard line in overtime. He did get some work after the fumble, however.
20.	Matt Breida SF vs. LAR Note: Was able to overcome ankle and shoulder injuries Monday night to share carries with Raheem Mostert, not Alfred Morris. Limited at Wednesday's practice. Cleared from the injury list.*
21.	Adrian Peterson WAS vs. Dal Note: Ran well despite playing through multiple injuries last week. (Ankle/Shoulder) Took part in individual drills Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. Listed as questionable but is expected to play.*
22.	Austin Ekeler LAC vs. Ten Note: Big Bump up with Melvin Gordon inactive.*
23.	Jordan Howard CHI vs. NE Note: Buried for two quarters after coughing up a fumble on the one-yard line in the second quarter.
24.	Marlon Mack IND vs. Buf
25.	*Tevin Coleman ATL vs. NYG Note: Current timeshare with Ito Smith will continue now that Devonta Freeman is going on IR.
26.	Isaiah Crowell NYJ vs. Min Note: (Foot) Sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday - this is the same routine as last week. Listed as questionable but expected to play.*
27.	Wendell Smallwood PHI vs. Car
28.	Frank Gore MIA vs. Det
29.	Duke Johnson CLE at TB
30.	Alex Collins BAL vs. NO
31.	Royce Freeman DEN at Ari
32.	Lamar Miller HOU at Jax Note: (Chest) Full participant all three days of practice.*
33.	Peyton Barber TB vs. Cle
34.	Corey Clement PHI vs. Car
35.	Dion Lewis TEN at LAC
36.	Nyheim Hines IND vs. Buf
37.	*Ito Smith ATL vs. NYG Note: Keeps taking away carries, including those at the goal line, away from Tevin Coleman. That will continue with Devonta Freeman going on IR.
38.	LeGarrette Blount DET at Mia Note: Bumped a couple of spots with the news of Roddick's injury.*
39.	Bilal Powell NYJ vs. Min
40.	Derrick Henry TEN at LAC
41.	Raheem Mostert SF vs. LAR Note: Surprisingly split carries with Breida, not Morris, and ran well - 12 times for 87 yards. The decision to use Mostert over Morris 'may not be permanent.'
42.	Javorius Allen BAL vs. NO
43.	Wayne Gallman NYG at Atl
44.	Alfred Blue HOU at Jax
45.	Chris Ivory BUF at Ind
46.	Kapri Bibbs WAS vs. Dal
47.	Malcolm Brown LA at SF
48.	Justin Jackson LAC vs. Ten Note: Added to the list with Gordon inactive.*
49.	Detrez Newsome LAC vs. Ten Note: Added to the list with Gordon inactive.*
50.	Alfred Morris SF vs. LAR Note: Officially zero carries - his one carry was wiped out by a penalty call.
51.	Ronald Jones II TB vs. Cle
52.	Josh Adams PHI vs. Car
53.	C.J. Anderson CAR at Phi
54.	Spencer Ware KC vs. Cin Note: When Kareem Hunt isn't the ballcarrier, it goes No-Ware.
55.	Jamaal Charles JAC vs. Hou
56.	Mark Walton CIN at KC
57.	Chase Edmonds ARZ vs. Den
58.	Devontae Booker DEN at Ari
59.	Kenjon Barner NE at Chi
60.	Jacquizz Rodgers TB vs. Cle
61.	Melvin Gordon LAC vs. Ten Note: INACTIVE!!!! Limited practice Friday with a hamstring, added to the injury report over the weekend, and didn't have a good reaction to the Sunday morning workout.*
62.	Dalvin Cook MIN at NYJ Note: (Hamstring) Was 'close' to being active last week, but his hammy didn't react well to increased activity in the pregame workout. Full practice Wednesday, but no* practice at all Thursday. *Officially ruled out again.*
63.	Theo Riddick DET at Mia Note: (Knee) Sat out practices both Wednesday and Thursday - disturbing considering that he's coming off a bye week. Ruled out this week.*
64.	Carlos Hyde JAC vs. Hou Note: With the trade to the Jaguars, he'll have a limited number of plays this week, but they could be goal line carries. INACTIVE after all.*
65.	Chris Thompson WAS vs. Dal Note: (Ribs, Knee) Day-to-day after sitting out last week. Limited practice Thursday. Listed as questionable but not expected to play.*
66.	Leonard Fournette JAC vs. Hou Note: (Hamstring) Coach Doug Marrone was 'hopeful' that Fournette could return this week. Sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday. Out this week and probably until Week 10, which explains the Carlos Hyde trade.*
67.	Darren Sproles PHI vs. Car Note: Still not practicing. Ruled out again this week.*
68.	Giovani Bernard CIN at KC Note: (Knee) Did not practice Thursday. Ruled out again for Week 7.*

22.	Michael Crabtree BAL vs. NO
23.	Chris Godwin TB vs. Cle
24.	Calvin Ridley ATL vs. NYG Note: Left early with a bone bruise on his ankle. Held out of practice Thursday - which was the Falcons' first practice of the week. Cleared for Monday night.*
