This article is part of our Weekly Rankings series.
Sunday Update Complete (8:45 a.m. PT)
Bye Week - Atlanta, Indianapolis, San Diego, San Francisco.
Here are our rankings 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. Flex Rankings are for PPR leagues.
Typically, this article will be posted on Tuesday evenings, roughly around 10:00 pm PT.
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.
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. Please refer to the rankings first when asking "should I start Player A vs. Player B?".

Quarterback
| 1. | Tom Brady NE at NYG |
| 2. | Drew Brees NO at Was |
| 3. | Aaron Rodgers GB vs. Det |
| 4. | Andy Dalton CIN vs. Hou |
| 5. | Eli Manning NYG vs. NE |
| 6. | Cam Newton CAR at Ten |
| 7. | Joe Flacco BAL vs. Jax Note: Flacco won't have Steve Smith, but at least he had the bye week to adjust, and has a great matchup to boot. |
| 8. | Derek Carr OAK vs. Min Note: Carr has a tricky matchup against the Vikings this week, but he's exceeded expectations at nearly every turn this season. |
| 9. | Blake Bortles JAC at Bal Note: Bortles put up big yards in a tough matchup (381 yards, two touchdowns), but he also had a lot of disaster plays - sacked six times, two interceptions and two fumbles (losing one). On paper this week should be a good matchup against the Ravens, but I'm wary that the Ravens might have fixed some of their problems over the bye. |
| 10. | Sam Bradford PHI vs. Mia |
| 11. | Kirk Cousins WAS vs. NO Note: Cousins wasn't very good against the Pats, but his receivers were worse, dropping seven passes. |
| 12. | *Peyton Manning DEN vs. KC Note: Manning has at least one interception in every game this year, including two against the Colts in the Week 9 loss. Sat out practice Wednesday with a sore foot, but returned Thursday. ***Limited practice all week, but expected to start.*** |
| 13. | *Landry Jones PIT vs. Cle Note: In line to start this week. Big Ben hasn't been fully ruled out, but it's long shot that he'll play. ***Big Ben listed as questionable, but Jones is still expected to start.*** |
| 14. | Jameis Winston TB vs. Dal |
| 15. | Ryan Tannehill MIA at Phi |
| 16. | Russell Wilson SEA vs. Ari |
| 17. | Matthew Stafford DET at GB |
| 18. | Carson Palmer ARZ at Sea |
| 19. | *Ryan Fitzpatrick NYJ vs. Buf Note: Fitzpatrick will eventually need surgery on his left thumb, and that might happen on Friday after the Jets play the Thursday night game. He had a full practice Tuesday. Listed as probable. |
| 20. | Brian Hoyer HOU at Cin |
| 21. | Matt Cassel DAL at TB |
| 22. | *Teddy Bridgewater MIN at Oak Note: Suffered a concussion late in the win over the Rams. He passed the first concussion test, and coach Mike Zimmer is optimistic that Bridgewater will be able to play. Full participant in Thursday's practice. ***Officially cleared the concussion protocol and will start Sunday.*** |
| 23. | Marcus Mariota TEN vs. Car Note: Did a fantastic job in a good matchup in his first game back from a knee injury. He'll have a much more difficult opponent against Carolina this week. |
| 24. | Alex Smith KC at Den |
| 25. | Tyrod Taylor BUF at NYJ |
| 26. | Jay Cutler CHI at StL |
| 27. | Nick Foles STL vs. Chi Note: Could be the least productive fantasy quarterback in the league - seven consecutive games below 200 yards. |
| 28. | *Johnny Manziel CLE at Pit Note: Will go back to the bench once McCown is deemed healthy. ***McCown will be inactive, so Manziel will start.*** |
| 29. | *Shaun Hill MIN at Oak Note: Will start if Bridgewater can't go. |
| 30. | *Ben Roethlisberger PIT vs. Cle Note: Roethlisberger suffered a mid-foot sprain in the win over the Raiders and is expected to miss this week, though the Steelers haven't officially placed him out. Limited practice Thursday. ***Listed as questionable, but some sources suggest that he has 'no chance to play.'*** |
| 31. | *Josh McCown CLE at Pit Note: (Ribs) Will be the starter again once he's healthy. That said, he did not practice Tuesday. Limited practice Thursday, decision likely coming Friday. ***Expected to be inactive Sunday.*** |
| 32. | *Tony Romo DAL at TB Note: Will practice this week with an eye towards returning in Week 11. |
Running Backs
| 1. | Todd Gurley STL vs. Chi |
| 2. | Adrian Peterson MIN at Oak |
| 3. | Lamar Miller MIA at Phi |
| 4. | Mark Ingram NO at Was |
| 5. | *DeAngelo Williams PIT vs. Cle Note: Williams is dealing with a swollen foot and will not practice Wednesday. Full practice Thursday. ***Listed as probable.*** |
| 6. | T.J. Yeldon JAC at Bal |
| 7. | *DeMarco Murray PHI vs. Mia Note: ***(Groin) Listed as probable.*** |
| 8. | Doug Martin TB vs. Dal |
| 9. | Justin Forsett BAL vs. Jax |
| 10. | *Jonathan Stewart CAR at Ten Note: Nagging ankle injury, limited in Thursday's practice. ***Listed as probable after full practice Friday.*** |
| 11. | Darren McFadden DAL at TB |
| 12. | *LeSean McCoy BUF at NYJ Note: (Shoulder) Limited practice Tuesday. Listed as probable. |
| 13. | LeGarrette Blount NE at NYG |
| 14. | Jeremy Langford CHI at StL Note: The Bears teased us by rolling out Ka'Deem Carey, but Langford took over. |
| 15. | *James Starks GB vs. Det Note: Officially named the starter ahead of Eddie Lacy. |
| 16. | Chris Johnson ARZ at Sea |
| 17. | Giovani Bernard CIN vs. Hou |
| 18. | Alfred Blue HOU at Cin |
| 19. | *Latavius Murray OAK vs. Min Note: Going through the concussion protocol after suffering a helmet-to-helmet hit against the Steelers. Returned to practice Thursday, suggested that he's symptom-free. That doesn't yet mean that he's been cleared to play, but obviously a good step. ***Practiced without limitation Friday, cleared to start.*** |
| 20. | Charcandrick West KC at Den |
| 21. | Chris Ivory NYJ vs. Buf |
| 22. | C.J. Anderson DEN vs. KC |
| 23. | Shane Vereen NYG vs. NE |
| 24. | Jeremy Hill CIN vs. Hou |
| 25. | Antonio Andrews TEN vs. Car Note: Looked pretty good against the Saints, but how much will his workload get cut by David Cobb? |
| 26. | *Marshawn Lynch SEA vs. Ari Note: ***Added to the injury report Friday after feeling pain in his abdomen Thursday, will be a game-time decision Sunday night. You'd better have Rawls, Chris Johnson or a back from the Monday night game if you're going to consider starting Lynch this week.*** |
| 27. | *Thomas Rawls SEA vs. Ari Note: ***Even if Lynch plays, you have to figure that Rawls will get more work than usual.*** |
| 28. | Duke Johnson CLE at Pit Note: Maybe more work with the Browns releasing Robert Turbin? Nah ... they need to find out what they have in Glenn Winston! Or maybe they'll bring in Earnest Mack, or Leroy Hoard! |
| 29. | *Ryan Mathews PHI vs. Mia Note: ***(Groin) Listed as probable.*** |
| 30. | Joique Bell DET at GB |
| 31. | Charles Sims TB vs. Dal |
| 32. | *Karlos Williams BUF at NYJ Note: Williams had a big game after LeSean McCoy's shoulder injury. With the short week, he should get at least a good portion of carries this week, though McCoy is expected to play some. |
| 33. | *Matt Jones WAS vs. NO Note: Had the most work among the Redskins running backs but did very little against the Pats. |
| 34. | Rashad Jennings NYG vs. NE |
| 35. | *James White NE at NYG Note: Inactive last week, but now with Dion Lewis out for the season, he'll probably be the top pass-catching option. However, Brandon Bolden did catch a touchdown pass last week. |
| 36. | Isaiah Crowell CLE at Pit |
| 37. | Taiwan Jones OAK vs. Min |
| 38. | *Jay Ajayi MIA at Phi Note: Head coach Dan Campbell said that Ajayi has earned more snaps based on his output last week. |
| 39. | *Dexter McCluster TEN vs. Car Note: (Ankle) Limited practice participant Thursday. ***Listed as probable.*** |
| 40. | Andre Ellington ARZ at Sea |
| 41. | Ameer Abdullah DET at GB |
| 42. | Theo Riddick DET at GB |
| 43. | Javorius Allen BAL vs. Jax |

| 65. | Benny Cunningham STL vs. Chi |
| 66. | Dan Herron BUF at NYJ |
| 67. | Stevan Ridley NYJ vs. Buf |
| 68. | *Chris Polk HOU at Cin Note: Listed third on the depth chart behind Alfred Blue and Jonathan Grimes. |
| 69. | David Johnson ARZ at Sea |
| 70. | *David Cobb TEN vs. Car Note: Expected back this week - the Titans have to decide whether to activate him by Thursday. Officially activated from the IR-to-Return list, but how much will he play? I'm keeping my expectations low for this week. |
| 71. | *Eddie Lacy GB vs. Det Note: Horrible early, but then left with a groin injury. You can't start him right now, unless you're in a state of emergency. Limited practice Wednesday. ***Limited all week in practice, might even be inactive.*** |
| 72. | *Knile Davis KC at Den Note: ***Handcuff gone bad - passed over by Spencer Ware as the backup to Charcandrick West.*** |
| 73. | *Matt Forte CHI at StL Note: (Sprained MCL) Had a PRP injection for his right knee last week and his availability for Week 10 is in doubt. Listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday. ***Didn't make the trip to St. Louis.*** |
| 74. | *Bilal Powell NYJ vs. Buf Note: (Ankle) Limited practice Monday, and hasn't played since Week 5. Listed as doubtful. |
| 75. | *Zac Stacy NYJ vs. Buf Note: ***Suffered a fractured ankle in the loss Thursday.*** |
| 76. | *Dion Lewis NE at NYG Note: Torn ACL, already placed on IR by the Patriots. |

| 2. | *Julian Edelman NE at NYG Note: (Knee) Limited practice Wednesday. |

| 6. | Demaryius Thomas DEN vs. KC Note: Had a season-low seven targets in the loss to the Colts. |
| 7. | Allen Robinson JAC at Bal |

| 9. | A.J. Green CIN vs. Hou |

| 16. | Larry Fitzgerald ARZ at Sea |
| 17. | Martavis Bryant PIT vs. Cle Note: Should have had a much bigger day against the Raiders, but dropped a perfectly thrown deep ball that likely would have gone for a touchdown. |
| 18. | *Calvin Johnson DET at GB Note: (Ankle) Sat out the Lions' brief practice Monday. Limited practice Wednesday. ***Active despite sitting out Friday and being limited Thursday.*** |
| 19. | Jarvis Landry MIA at Phi |

| 35. | Rishard Matthews MIA at Phi |
| 36. | *DeSean Jackson WAS vs. NO Note: Didn't do much in his return from a hamstring injury last week - but he has a prime matchup this week against the Saints. |
| 37. | *Allen Hurns JAC at Bal Note: Sprained his left foot on the final offensive play last week against the Jets. He was in a walking boot on Monday. Both an MRI and x-rays were negative. Missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday. ***Will be active despite being limited Friday.*** |

| 64. | Gary Barnidge CLE at Pit |
| 65. | Jeremy Hill CIN vs. Hou |
| 66. | Antonio Andrews TEN vs. Car Note: Looked pretty good against the Saints, but how much will his workload get cut by David Cobb? |
| 67. | Duke Johnson CLE at Pit Note: Maybe more work with the Browns releasing Robert Turbin? Nah ... they need to find out what they have in Glenn Winston! Or maybe they'll bring in Earnest Mack, or Leroy Hoard! |

| 69. | Taiwan Jones OAK vs. Min |
| 70. | Rishard Matthews MIA at Phi |

| 78. | Charles Sims TB vs. Dal |
| 79. | *Karlos Williams BUF at NYJ Note: Williams had a big game after LeSean McCoy's shoulder injury. With the short week, he should get at least a good portion of carries this week, though McCoy is expected to play some. |
