This article is part of our Weekly Rankings series.
Sunday update complete (9:15 a.m.).
Thursday game - San Diego at Oakland.
**Saturday game - Washington at Philadelphia.
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

Quarterback
1. | Ben Roethlisberger PIT at Bal |
2. | *Cam Newton CAR at Atl Note: Abbreviated practice Thursday to attend to a personal matter, not expected to affect his status for Sunday. |
3. | Blake Bortles JAC at NO Note: Another rushing touchdown saved his fantasy day, if not his real life game. |
4. | Tom Brady NE at NYJ |
5. | Russell Wilson SEA vs. StL |
6. | *Carson Palmer ARZ vs. GB Note: Suffered a minor injury to his right index finger but later returned. Limited participant in Wednesday's practice. ***Listed as probable.*** |
7. | Matthew Stafford DET vs. SF |
8. | Kirk Cousins WAS at Phi |
9. | Ryan Fitzpatrick NYJ vs. NE |
10. | Aaron Rodgers GB at Ari |
11. | *Brock Osweiler DEN vs. Cin Note: Dealing with a sore left (non-throwing) shoulder - the Broncos' plan for the week should be in place by Wednesday. Peyton Manning had what appeared to be a small setback with his foot in practice last week. Officially named the starter for Monday night, and Peyton Manning will be inactive. |
12. | *Tyrod Taylor BUF vs. Dal Note: ***Heavy winds in Buffalo.*** |
13. | Derek Carr OAK vs. SD |
14. | Philip Rivers SD at Oak |
15. | *Drew Brees NO vs. Jax Note: Suffered a torn plantar fascia in his right foot late in the Monday night loss. He will receive a second opinion later in the week, but right now he's officially day-to-day - this rank presumes he'll play. Did not practice Wednesday, could be limited Thursday. ***Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Brees is likely to start.*** |
16. | Jay Cutler CHI at TB |
17. | Alex Smith KC vs. Cle |
18. | Jameis Winston TB vs. Chi |
19. | Ryan Tannehill MIA vs. Ind |
20. | Eli Manning NYG at Min Note: If ODB's suspension holds up, it could be really ugly this week. |
21. | *Teddy Bridgewater MIN vs. NYG Note: ***I'm starting to get cold feet on Bridgewater - playoff spot could be clinched by game-time, with nothing to play for if GB loses.*** |
22. | Matt Ryan ATL vs. Car |
23. | Sam Bradford PHI vs. Was |
24. | *Zach Mettenberger TEN vs. Hou Note: Will start this week with Marcus Mariota out. |
25. | *Matt Hasselbeck IND at Mia Note: Once again Hasselbeck got crushed last week, but he's still likely to start again this week, with Andrew Luck already declared out. Limited practice Thursday, but still on track to start again this week. ***Listed as probable.*** |
26. | *Brandon Weeden HOU at Ten Note: Probably will start this week, with T.J. Yates out for the season and Brian Hoyer still in the league's concussion protocol. Took first-team reps Wednesday, with Hoyer still in the protocol but getting limited reps. |
27. | Johnny Manziel CLE at KC |
28. | *Kellen Moore DAL at Buf Note: Named the starter over Matt Cassell, presumably for each of the last two games. |
29. | Case Keenum STL at Sea |
30. | Blaine Gabbert SF at Det |
31. | *Ryan Mallett BAL vs. Pit Note: It's possible that he'll start this week against the Steelers. The Baltimore Sun reported Sunday morning that Mallett is likely to start. |
32. | AJ McCarron CIN at Den Note: The Bengals ran a very vanilla offense for McCarron against the Niners, and he was without A.J. Green for much of the game. But it's going to get ugly this week on Monday night at Denver. |
33. | *Jimmy Clausen BAL vs. Pit |
34. | *Matt Flynn NO vs. Jax Note: Could be the starter this week if Drew Brees can't go. The other alternative is Garrett Grayson. |
35. | *Brian Hoyer HOU at Ten Note: Still in the league's concussion protocol, though his symptoms are subsiding. Still in the concussion protocol, but took limited reps Wednesday. ***Still not cleared by the NFL's concussion protocol.*** |
36. | *Peyton Manning DEN vs. Cin Note: (Foot) Declared out again for this week - will focus on his rehab and won't practice. |
37. | *Andy Dalton CIN at Den Note: (Thumb) Remains 'week-to-week.' ***Officially ruled out.*** |
38. | *Andrew Luck IND at Mia Note: (Kidney) Already declared out for Week 16. |
39. | *Marcus Mariota TEN vs. Hou Note: (Knee) Ruled out for Week 16. |

4. | Charcandrick West KC vs. Cle |
5. | DeAngelo Williams PIT at Bal |
6. | Todd Gurley STL at Sea |
7. | Darren McFadden DAL at Buf |
8. | Devonta Freeman ATL vs. Car |
9. | Latavius Murray OAK vs. SD |
10. | *Adrian Peterson MIN vs. NYG Note: Injured his ankle in the win over the Bears but later said that the injury wasn't serious. That's all well and good, but I need more before I'm totally going to trust him in Championship week.Didn't practice Wednesday, expected to get some work in Thursday. However, it turns out he did not practice Thursday. ***Listed as probable, but I'm starting to worry a little about a Sunday night shutdown if the Packers lose.*** |
11. | Tim Hightower NO vs. Jax |
12. | Rashad Jennings NYG at Min |
13. | *Denard Robinson JAC at NO Note: Suffered a left foot sprain in the loss to Atlanta. Expects to play this week, and Yeldon is looking less likely to go. ***Full participant Friday, listed as probable.*** |
14. | Chris Ivory NYJ vs. NE |
15. | *Lamar Miller MIA vs. Ind Note: Suffered a minor quad injury, but coach Dan Campbell said his absence in the second half was unrelated somehow. Ok. Limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday. ***Listed as probable.*** |
16. | Christine Michael SEA vs. StL Note: More involved in the offense than Bryce Brown, though both ran well. Marshawn Lynch won't practice this week. |
17. | Bilal Powell NYJ vs. NE |
18. | *Eddie Lacy GB at Ari Note: Limited in Wednesday's practice with a rib injury. ***Limited all week, but listed as probable.*** |
19. | *Javorius Allen BAL vs. Pit Note: Sure hope he learned his lesson about fumbling while watching his team getting blown out, because clearly that's the only problem with Baltimore this year. (That's sarcasm, in case it's not clear) |
20. | *Cameron Artis-Payne CAR at Atl Note: Took over the majority of the carries last week, but also lost a fumble. ***Officially starting this week.*** |
21. | *Alfred Morris WAS at Phi Note: Could be in line for more work, if that's the sort of thing you're interested in. |

34. | Giovani Bernard CIN at Den |
35. | James Starks GB at Ari |
36. | *Jerick McKinnon MIN vs. NYG Note: Peterson's ankle injury isn't expected to be serious, but McKinnon would be next in line if does force him to lose reps. Limited Thursday with a hamstring injury. |

38. | *Kendall Gaskins SF at Det Note: One of two healthy running backs on the Niners' roster. |
39. | Joique Bell DET vs. SF |
40. | *Isaiah Crowell CLE at KC Note: ***Listed as probable, due to a non-injury concern.*** |
