Bye Weeks: Bears, Bills, Colts and Raiders.
Stupid Early London Game: Panthers vs. Bucs, 9:30 a.m. ET.
Welcome to the Weekly Value Meter Rankings. This is a guide to help you decide who to start and sit in a given week. It's is not a season-long ranking nor a draft guide, and it's also not really intended as a free agent guide. While I appreciate that you want my opinion on pickups, every league is different, and your decision on whether to add/drop a particular player might also be dictated by other factors than who is rated higher in a given week.
Here are my operating assumptions for the rankings:
- The RB/WR/TE position rankings are for PPR leagues.
- The Flex rankings are for Standard leagues.
- 1 point per 10 rushing/receiving yards.
- 1 point per 20 passing yards.
- 4 points per passing touchdowns.
These are the rankings I use when I make my start/sit decisions. Please consult the rankings first before asking "Should I start Patrick Mahomes or Eli Manning?"
These are my particular rankings. If you want a second opinion elsewhere on the site, you can see our Weekly Projections.
Starting after Week 1, the rankings for the subsequent week will first post on Tuesday nights, roughly around 10:00 pm ET. I will then do a set of updates before kickoff on Thursday, and again before kickoff on Sunday morning.
I welcome debate on the rankings in the comments. Please keep

Quarterbacks
| 1. | Deshaun Watson HOU at KC |
| 2. | *Patrick Mahomes KC vs. HOU Note: Injured his left ankle in the loss to the Colts and was limping around for much of the second half. He'll receive treatment during the week, but is expected to be 'ok' for the game against the Texans. Full practice Wednesday, and afterward he said that while the ankle is not perfect, it's good enough to run, cut, etc ... |
| 3. | Lamar Jackson BAL vs. CIN |
| 4. | Matt Ryan ATL at ARI |
| 5. | Russell Wilson SEA at CLE |
| 6. | Kyler Murray ARZ vs. ATL |
| 7. | Dak Prescott DAL at NYJ |
| 8. | Tom Brady NE vs. NYG |
| 9. | Jameis Winston TB vs. CAR |
| 10. | Jared Goff LA vs. SF |
| 11. | Kirk Cousins MIN vs. PHI |
| 12. | Carson Wentz PHI at MIN |
| 13. | *Aaron Rodgers GB vs. DET Note: ***(Knee) Limited in practice earlier in the week, but cleared from the injury list and is good-to-go for Monday night, albeit without Davante Adams.*** |
| 14. | *Kyle Allen CAR at TB Note: Will get another start in London against the Bucs. |
| 15. | *Jimmy Garoppolo SF at LAR Note: Modest output in part because of the game flow - Niners were so dominant running the ball. |
| 16. | Teddy Bridgewater NO at JAX |
| 17. | *Gardner Minshew JAC vs. NO Note: Lost three fumbles against the Panthers, including one that was returned for a touchdown. ***Limited Thursday by a sore groin, but then had a full practice Friday and has been cleared to play.*** |
| 18. | *Philip Rivers LAC vs. PIT Note: Miserable day against the Broncos - 4.4 yards per attempt, no touchdowns, two interceptions. |
| 19. | *Baker Mayfield CLE vs. SEA Note: Had a heavy wrap on his shoulder following Monday night's nightmare performance. Not on Wednesday's injury list. |
| 20. | Matthew Stafford DET at GB |
| 21. | *Andy Dalton CIN at BAL Note: Two fourth quarter drives salvaged an otherwise horrible fantasy day. |
| 22. | *Marcus Mariota TEN at DEN Note: Sacked five times, the return of Taylor Lewan did not help. |
| 23. | *Sam Darnold NYJ vs. DAL Note: Medically cleared to play, will start against the Cowboys. |
| 24. | Joe Flacco DEN vs. TEN |
| 25. | *Case Keenum WAS at MIA Note: (Foot) Full practice Wednesday; he's on-pace to return to the starting lineup, albeit with a new head coach who wants to prioritize rushing attempts. However, Haskins could also play even if Keenum starts. ***Named the starter this week, with Haskins as the backup.*** |
| 26. | *Daniel Jones NYG at NE Note: Predictably struggled against Minnesota, and now faces the Pats without his top targets. Shepard, Barkley, Engram and Gallman all declared out. |
| 27. | *Josh Rosen MIA vs. WAS Note: Likely will be the starting QB for the rest of the season. |
| 28. | *Devlin Hodges PIT at LAC Note: Filled in for the injured Mason Rudolph, who looks questionable at best after leaving Sunday with a concussion. ***Starting this week, with Rudolph ruled out. Paxton Lynch will be the backup.*** |
| 29. | *Mason Rudolph PIT at LAC Note: In the concussion protocol and initial impressions are that he won't be able to play. Had a limited practice Wednesday - he remains in the concussion protocol, but this is better than I thought it would be after seeing his reaction to the hit. ***Ruled out this week.*** |
| 30. | Taysom Hill NO at JAX |
| 31. | *Dwayne Haskins WAS at MIA Note: Not being considered as an option to start this week despite the firing of Jay Gruden. |
| 32. | *Colt McCoy WAS at MIA Note: Predictably overmatched against the Pats - could get another start this week against the Dolphins. ***Demoted to third-string.*** |
| 33. | *Cam Newton CAR at TB Note: (Foot) Ruled out again this week and probably won't make the trip. |
| 34. | *Luke Falk at Note: Mercifully back to the bench this week. ***Waived by the Jets, who kept David Fales as the backup to Darnold instead.*** |
Running Backs
| 1. | *Ezekiel Elliott DAL at NYJ Note: Looking at facing a Jets defense that will likely still be without C.J. Moseley. |
| 2. | *Christian McCaffrey CAR at TB Note: Cramped up late Sunday against Jacksonville, then sat out practice Wednesday with a back injury. ***Upgraded to a full practice Thursday.*** |
| 3. | Leonard Fournette JAC vs. NO |
| 4. | Aaron Jones GB vs. DET |
| 5. | *Alvin Kamara NO at JAX Note: ***(Ankle) Limited practice Thursday, no practice Friday, but went through Saturday's walk-through and is expected to play.*** |
| 6. | Chris Carson SEA at CLE |
| 7. | *Dalvin Cook MIN vs. PHI Note: Really bad matchup, but can we ignore the volume? I don't think so. |
| 8. | Nick Chubb CLE vs. SEA |
| 9. | *Mark Ingram BAL vs. CIN Note: Sat out practice Wednesday but it wasn't injury-related, but rather to rest. |
| 10. | Le'Veon Bell NYJ vs. DAL |
| 11. | *David Johnson ARZ vs. ATL Note: Played through a back injury against the Bengals. Did not practice Wednesday, instead worked out on the side. ***Returned to practice Friday - expected to play, though he's still listed as questionable.*** |

| 13. | James Conner PIT at LAC |
| 14. | Kerryon Johnson DET at GB |

| 17. | Devonta Freeman ATL at ARI |
| 18. | Austin Ekeler LAC vs. PIT |
| 19. | Joe Mixon CIN at BAL |
| 20. | *Melvin Gordon LAC vs. PIT Note: ***Coach Anthony Lynn said that Gordon would get more work this week than he did last week.*** |
| 21. | Carlos Hyde HOU at KC |
| 22. | *Malcolm Brown LA vs. SF Note: Moved up with the news that Todd Gurley is dealing with a bruised quad. ***Starting with Gurley out.*** |
| 23. | James White NE vs. NYG |
| 24. | Chris Thompson WAS at MIA |
| 25. | Kenyan Drake MIA vs. WAS |
| 26. | Damien Williams KC vs. HOU |
| 27. | *Jordan Howard PHI at MIN Note: Getting more carries over Miles Sanders. |
| 28. | Sony Michel NE vs. NYG |
| 29. | *Tevin Coleman SF at LAR Note: Back in action, looked good. In a timeshare with Matt Breida, who also had a big game. |
| 30. | Duke Johnson HOU at KC |
| 31. | Gus Edwards BAL vs. CIN |
| 32. | *Chase Edmonds ARZ vs. ATL Note: ***Even with David Johnson likely to play, Edmonds should get more work than usual this week.*** |
| 33. | Royce Freeman DEN vs. TEN |
| 34. | *Miles Sanders PHI at MIN Note: Losing carries to Jordan Howard, but will still be involved because Darren Sproles is 'week-to-week' with a quad strain. |
| 35. | *Jon Hilliman at Note: Could start this week with both Barkley and Gallman questionable at best. Confirmed starter with Barkley and Gallman ruled out. |
| 36. | *Ronald Jones TB vs. CAR Note: ***The Bucs' offensive line will be down two starters due to injury.*** |
| 37. | *Ito Smith ATL at ARI Note: Heavy snap and target share - could be busy again this week against Arizona. |
| 38. | *Rashaad Penny SEA at CLE Note: ***(Hamstring) Full practice Thursday and Friday, yet still added to the injury list as questionable.*** |
| 39. | *LeSean McCoy KC vs. HOU Note: Struggled in pass protection and lost a fumble after a reception; as a result logged only 14 snaps. |
| 40. | Peyton Barber TB vs. CAR |
| 41. | Latavius Murray NO at JAX |
| 42. | Adrian Peterson WAS at MIA |
| 43. | Ty Johnson DET at GB |
| 44. | Benny Snell PIT at LAC |
| 45. | *Darrell Henderson LA vs. SF Note: Added back to the list, just in case Todd Gurley doesn't play this week. ***Should be the backup with Gurley out, but the Rams also activated John Kelly from the practice squad.*** |
| 46. | *Raheem Mostert SF at LAR Note: Down to third on the depth chart with Coleman back in action. |
| 47. | C.J. Prosise SEA at CLE |

| 49. | Kalen Ballage MIA vs. WAS |

| 62. | *Jamaal Williams GB vs. DET |
| 63. | *Rex Burkhead NE vs. NYG Note: (Foot) Sat out last week and was a limited practice participant Monday - the Pats have the short turnaround for a Thursday game. Practiced Wednesday, listed as questionable for Thursday night. |
| 64. | *Justin Jackson LAC vs. PIT Note: (Calf) Did not practice Wednesday. ***Listed as doubtful.*** |
| 65. | *Saquon Barkley NYG at NE Note: (Ankle) Not expected to play this week, but that's not an official ruling from coach Pat Shurmur. Limited practice Tuesday. Ruled out for Week 6. |
| 66. | *Wayne Gallman NYG at NE Note: Suffered a concussion against the Vikings and wasn't present for practice Tuesday. Ruled out for Week 6. |
