This article is part of our Weekly Rankings series.
Sunday Update complete
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. I will then do a set of updates before kickoff on Thursday, and again before kickoff on Sunday morning.
When setting your lineups, make sure to refer to the NFL inactives to ensure all of your players are set to receive snaps.

Quarterbacks
| 1. | Josh Allen BUF at KC |
| 2. | *Patrick Mahomes KC vs. BUF Note: Though Mahomes had a good comeback track record in games where the Chiefs trailed by 10 or fewer points, Monday night marks just the second time they've won after trailing by 14+ points. |
| 3. | Lamar Jackson BAL at NYG |
| 4. | *Jalen Hurts PHI vs. DAL Note: The absence of LT Jordan Mailata was really felt against Arizona, as the Eagles rarely threw downfield. |
| 5. | *Kyler Murray ARZ at SEA Note: It's Murray's turn to get a ticket to the carnival against the Seahawks this week, albeit still without Hopkins and maybe without Conner this week. |
| 6. | Tom Brady TB at PIT |
| 7. | Justin Herbert LAC vs. DEN |
| 8. | *Joe Burrow CIN at NO Note: A rushing touchdown salvaged Burrow's fantasy day, but it's disturbing that he wasn't able to do much of anything downfield in the loss to the Ravens. |
| 9. | *Geno Smith SEA vs. ARI Note: Smith was limited to 25 attempts despite the Seahawks trailing for much of the game - of course, Kenneth Walker having a long touchdown run has something to do with that. Still, the production was once again there. |
| 10. | *Aaron Rodgers GB vs. NYJ Note: Rodgers sat out practice Wednesday with a sore thumb, but returned to a full practice Thursday. |
| 11. | Kirk Cousins MIN at MIA |
| 12. | Trevor Lawrence JAC at IND |
| 13. | *Matthew Stafford LA vs. CAR Note: Stafford was sacked five more times in the loss to the Cowboys. |
| 14. | Daniel Jones NYG vs. BAL |
| 15. | Zach Wilson NYJ at GB |
| 16. | Matt Ryan IND vs. JAX |
| 17. | *Kenny Pickett PIT vs. TB Note: Lots of volume for Pickett in his first start, but they just couldn't convert in Bills territory, with three fourth-down failures and two missed field goals. |
| 18. | *Russell Wilson DEN at LAC Note: Wilson received a PRP injection for a partially torn lat in his throwing shoulder, suffered in Week 4. Wilson was limited Thursday, which was the Broncos' first practice of the week with them playing on Monday. ***Wilson (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice.*** |
| 19. | *Carson Wentz WAS at CHI Note: Wentz (shoulder) has been limited both on Monday and Tuesday, though the team has only done light workouts so far this week with them playing the Thursday game. Wentz has been cleared from the injury list, but he's playing through biceps tendinitis in addition to the sore shoulder (though the two may be related). ***Suffered a fractured finger in the win over the Bears.*** |
| 20. | *Justin Fields CHI vs. WAS Note: ***Fields aggravated a left-shoulder injury in Thursday's loss to the Commanders.*** |
| 21. | *Cooper Rush DAL at PHI Note: There's a chance that Rush will revert to backup duties this week, pending on how Dak Prescott's practices go. Rush looks like he'll still start, though Prescott is starting to make real progress now. |
| 22. | Jimmy Garoppolo SF at ATL |
| 23. | *Andy Dalton NO vs. CIN Note: It still looks like Dalton will get a third start in a row, though Winston is starting to have more practice activity than previous weeks. ***Dalton will start again this week, and has a chance to win a third 'revenge game.' He'll have to do it likely without his top-three receivers.*** |
| 24. | *Jacoby Brissett CLE vs. NE Note: Brissett had a serviceable game for about 55 minutes, but then threw an absolute back-breaking interception in the end zone while trailing 30-28 with less than five minutes left. |
| 25. | *P.J. Walker CAR at LAR Note: Walker will likely start this week after Baker Mayfield suffered a high ankle sprain in his left ankle last week. Mayfield still hasn't been ruled out, but it still looks like Walker will start. Sam Darnold (ankle) might be available in Week 7. ***Confirmed starter for this week.*** |
| 26. | Marcus Mariota ATL vs. SF |
| 27. | Bailey Zappe NE at CLE |
| 28. | *Skylar Thompson MIA vs. MIN Note: Thompson was serviceable after being pressed into emergency duty - about what you'd expect from a seventh-round rookie stepping us as a third-string quarterback. Thompson looks as if he'll start this week, though Bridgewater is starting to progress through the concussion protocol. ***Teddy Bridgewater still looks to be the backup to Thompson, though he's been cleared from the concussion protocol.*** |
| 29. | *Mac Jones NE at CLE Note: (Ankle) Jones has been limited in practices so far, though Zack Cox of NESN.com suggested that Jones has looked more mobile this week than he did last week. ***Officially questionable, but he's unlikely to play - he'll still test out his ankle in pregame warmups.*** |
| 30. | *Dak Prescott DAL at PHI Note: Prescott (thumb) will begin throwing at practice on Wednesday - his status for Sunday night against the Eagles is not yet settled. The Cowboys have said that he'll need a full week of practice before returning. Prescott was limited Thursday after throwing on the side on Wednesday. It looks as if Cooper Rush will get one more start, but Prescott is getting closer. ***Prescott is officially listed as questionable after increasing his practice activity Friday.*** |
| 31. | *Teddy Bridgewater MIA vs. MIN Note: Bridgewater lasted one play in the loss to the Jets and is in the concussion protocol despite not experiencing any concussion symptoms so far. Bridgewater was on the field for limited, non-contact participation at Thursday's practice, opening the door that he could be cleared from the concussion protocol by the end of the week, though it still looks as if Skylar Thompson will start. ***Bridgewater has been cleared from the concussion protocol, though he's still likely to be the backup to Thompson.*** |
| 32. | *Tua Tagovailoa MIA vs. MIN Note: There's still no return timetable for Tagovailoa (concussion). Tagovailoa has been ruled out again this week, though he's starting to practice this week. |
| 33. | *Jameis Winston NO vs. CIN Note: (Back/ankle) Winston has had limited reps Wednesday and Thursday this week - more than the last two weeks, but still his status is uncertain for this week. ***Winston will be questionable this week, but won't start.*** |
| 34. | *Baker Mayfield CAR at LAR Note: Mayfield suffered a high-ankle sprain in the loss to the Niners and is likely to miss multiple weeks, though he's not going to need surgery. Mayfield hasn't practiced yet this week, though the Panthers haven't officially ruled him out for Sunday. ***Didn't practice Friday and is listed as doubtful.*** |
| 35. | Derek Carr LV at |
| 36. | Jared Goff DET at |
| 37. | Davis Mills HOU at |
| 38. | Ryan Tannehill TEN at |
Running Backs
| 1. | *Saquon Barkley NYG vs. BAL Note: Barkley (shoulder) will be limited again Thursday - he briefly left the London game with the injury, though he later returned. ***Cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 2. | Nick Chubb CLE vs. NE |
| 3. | Christian McCaffrey CAR at LAR |
| 4. | Austin Ekeler LAC vs. DEN |
| 5. | Leonard Fournette TB at PIT |
| 6. | Dalvin Cook MIN at MIA |
| 7. | *Alvin Kamara NO vs. CIN Note: Great yardage production but his red zone role has been completely usurped by Taysom Hill. ***Big bump up for Kamara with the Saints being down their top three receivers.*** |
| 8. | *Rhamondre Stevenson NE at CLE Note: Teammate Damien Harris will miss time due to a hamstring injury. Look for Stevenson to take on a primary role, but perhaps share some of the carries with either Pierre Strong or J.J. Taylor. ***Damien Harris (hamstring) has not yet been ruled out - Ian Rapoport states that Harris is a true game-time decision.*** |
| 9. | Aaron Jones GB vs. NYJ |
| 10. | Breece Hall NYJ at GB |
| 11. | Jeff Wilson SF at ATL |
| 12. | *Eno Benjamin ARZ at SEA Note: Benjamin could be in line for a busy week, with James Conner (ribs) and Darrell Williams (knee) getting hurt last week. It's looking more likely that Benjamin will start, and be backed up by the likes of Keaontay Ingram, Corey Clement and Ty'Son Williams. ***Conner and Darrel Williams are officially out.*** |
| 13. | Miles Sanders PHI vs. DAL |
| 14. | *Kenneth Walker SEA vs. ARI Note: Walker has a big opportunity forthcoming with Rashaad Penny out for the season. |
| 15. | Joe Mixon CIN at NO |
| 16. | Devin Singletary BUF at KC |
| 17. | Travis Etienne JAC at IND |
| 18. | David Montgomery CHI vs. WAS |
| 19. | *Najee Harris PIT vs. TB Note: ***Harris had a steel plate removed from his left foot - the remnant of his lisfranc injury in training camp.*** |
| 20. | *James Robinson JAC at IND Note: Surprisingly, Robinson couldn't get untracked against the Texans. |
| 21. | *Clyde Edwards-Helaire KC vs. BUF Note: CEH lost carries to Jerk McKinnon on Monday night and had a touchdown overturned when it was ruled that he was down on the 1. |
| 22. | Ezekiel Elliott DAL at PHI |
| 23. | Kareem Hunt CLE vs. NE |
| 24. | AJ Dillon GB vs. NYJ |
| 25. | *Melvin Gordon DEN at LAC Note: ***Gordon (neck/ribs) was limited all week and is listed as questionable for Monday night.*** |
| 26. | *Darrell Henderson LA vs. CAR Note: Henderson doubled the number of snaps of Akers, but didn't log an official carry (he had one recalled by a holding penalty). ***Starting now that Cam Akers (personal) is out. Malcolm Brown is the backup, and the Rams elevated Ronnie Rivers from the practice squad.*** |
| 27. | *Raheem Mostert MIA vs. MIN Note: Mostert (knee) returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. ***Mostert had another limited practice Friday and is listed as questionable, though he said that he expects to play.*** |
| 28. | J.K. Dobbins BAL at NYG |
| 29. | *Deon Jackson IND vs. JAX Note: ***Likely sharing the workload with Phillip Lindsay this week - Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines have both been ruled out.*** |
| 30. | Tyler Allgeier ATL vs. SF |
| 31. | *Brian Robinson WAS at CHI Note: Robinson netted nine carries to just three for Antonio Gibson, and was in the game for a lot of key snaps late in the loss to the Titans. Taking over as the starter on Thursday night. |
| 32. | *Khalil Herbert CHI vs. WAS Note: Herbert barely saw the field Sunday against the Vikings with David Montgomery back. |
| 33. | *Antonio Gibson WAS at CHI Note: Gibson lost a lot of volume as feared with the return of Brian Robinson. Robinson will officially get the start on Thursday night. |
| 34. | Tony Pollard DAL at PHI |
| 35. | J.D. McKissic WAS at CHI |
| 36. | *Alexander Mattison MIN at MIA Note: Mattison (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday. ***Mattison is officially listed as questionable after having limited practices all week.*** |
| 37. | Jerick McKinnon KC vs. BUF |
| 38. | Michael Carter NYJ at GB |
| 39. | Joshua Kelley LAC vs. DEN |
| 40. | *Mike Boone DEN at LAC Note: ***(Foot) Full practice Friday.*** |
| 41. | Mark Ingram NO vs. CIN |
| 42. | Rachaad White TB at PIT |
| 43. | Jaylen Warren PIT vs. TB |
| 44. | DeeJay Dallas SEA vs. ARI |
| 45. | Phillip Lindsay IND vs. JAX |
| 46. | *Tevin Coleman SF at ATL Note: Coleman was fully added to the Niners' active roster on Wednesday. |
| 47. | *Samaje Perine CIN at NO Note: Perine (abdomen) was limited in practice on Wednesday. ***Full practice Friday.*** |
| 48. | James Cook BUF at KC |
| 49. | Malcolm Brown LA vs. CAR |
| 50. | *Kenneth Gainwell PHI vs. DAL Note: Gainwell (ribs) was limited Wednesday but graduated to a full practice Thursday. |
| 51. | Myles Gaskin MIA vs. MIN |
| 52. | *Boston Scott PHI vs. DAL Note: Scott (ribs) has been cleared from the injury list. |
| 53. | *Isiah Pacheco KC vs. BUF Note: Pacheco netted just one carry and no targets Monday night, the product of a game flow where the Chiefs trailed for much of the game. |
| 54. | Zack Moss BUF at KC |
| 55. | *Chase Edmonds MIA vs. MIN Note: Edmonds not only is behind Raheem Mostert now, but he's also dropped behind Myles Gaskin. |
| 56. | *Latavius Murray DEN at LAC Note: Inactive last week but I suspect he'll be active on Monday night. ***Full practices this week, clear of the injury list after originally having a wrist issue listed.*** |
| 57. | D'Onta Foreman CAR at LAR |
| 58. | Sony Michel LAC vs. DEN |
| 59. | *Damien Harris NE at CLE Note: Harris is expected to miss time with a hamstring injury. Harris has had two limited practices so far, but I still think he'll miss this week. The Pats activated Kevin Harris from the practice squad, which is a good indicator that they think they'll be down a running back. ***Another limited practice on Friday; Harris is questionable and has not been ruled out yet - according to Ian Rapoport he is a true game-time decision.*** |
| 60. | *James Conner ARZ at SEA Note: Conner suffered a rib injury in the loss to the Eagles. The Cardinals have said that the injury is not serious, but didn't offer more details beyond that. Hasn't practiced yet this week and isn't expected to play. ***Officially ruled out.*** |
| 61. | *Jonathan Taylor IND vs. JAX Note: (Ankle) Taylor was listed as a non-participant Wednesday and then had a limited practice Thursday. It's possible that he returns this week, but I'm holding off on moving him up until I see Friday's reports. ***Ruled out this week.*** |
| 62. | *Gus Edwards BAL at NYG Note: ***Edwards (knee) is 'getting close' to a return.*** |
| 63. | *Nyheim Hines IND vs. JAX Note: Hines (concussion) has been limited for the first two practices this week. ***Ruled out this week.*** |
| 64. | Cam Akers LA vs. CAR |
| 65. | *Darrel Williams ARZ at SEA Note: Left Sunday's loss to the Eagles with a knee injury. Didn't practice Thursday and is not expected to play this week. ***Officially ruled out.*** |
| 66. | *Justice Hill BAL at NYG Note: Hill (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, his first practice since suffering the injury. ***Listed as doubtful.*** |
| 67. | *Rashaad Penny SEA vs. ARI Note: Penny fractured his fibula in the loss to the Saints and is out for the season. |

Wide Receivers
| 1. | *Cooper Kupp LA vs. CAR Note: Kupp (foot) returned to practice after sitting out Wednesday, with coach Sean McVay saying the Rams would 'be smart' with him this week. ***Listed as questionable, but Sean McVay said that Kupp is expected to play.*** |

| 3. | Stefon Diggs BUF at KC |
| 4. | A.J. Brown PHI vs. DAL |
| 5. | Deebo Samuel SF at ATL |
| 6. | *Mike Evans TB at PIT Note: ***The Steelers' secondary is banged up - this could be an excellent set-up.*** |
| 7. | *Ja'Marr Chase CIN at NO Note: Chase is getting limited to short-yardage targets, even when the opponent is playing with a single-deep safety. |
| 8. | DK Metcalf SEA vs. ARI |
| 9. | Marquise Brown ARZ at SEA |
| 10. | Gabe Davis BUF at KC |
| 11. | *Tyreek Hill MIA vs. MIN Note: Hill was spotted with a walking boot after Sunday's loss to the Jets. Hill (foot) fully practiced Wednesday. |
| 12. | *Chris Godwin TB at PIT Note: Godwin (hip/knee) was limited Wednesday and got the 'veteran's day off' Thursday - look for this to be a recurring pattern for Godwin this season. ***Full practice Friday - cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 13. | *CeeDee Lamb DAL at PHI Note: ***Lamb (hip) was added to the injury report Friday after sitting out, but he's expected to play.*** |
| 14. | *Mike Williams LAC vs. DEN Note: Williams is battling an illness but is not on the Chargers' injury report. |
| 15. | Courtland Sutton DEN at LAC |
| 16. | Amari Cooper CLE vs. NE |
| 17. | Michael Pittman IND vs. JAX |
| 18. | Christian Kirk JAC at IND |
| 19. | *Drake London ATL vs. SF Note: (Knee) Not on the Falcons' initial injury report. |
| 20. | *Diontae Johnson PIT vs. TB Note: Johnson (hip) was limited Wednesday but back up to full capacity on Thursday. |
| 21. | *Jaylen Waddle MIA vs. MIN Note: ***Waddle (groin) was a full participant in practice all week and is not on the injury report.*** |

| 24. | Terry McLaurin WAS at CHI |
| 25. | Jerry Jeudy DEN at LAC |
| 26. | Curtis Samuel WAS at CHI |

| 28. | Garrett Wilson NYJ at GB |
| 29. | *Tyler Lockett SEA vs. ARI Note: ***Lockett (hamstring) has been cleared from the injury report.*** |
| 30. | *Tyler Boyd CIN at NO Note: ***Teammate Tee Higgins is a game-time decision.*** |
| 31. | *Marquez Callaway NO vs. CIN Note: ***Callaway gets a good bump up with Thomas, Landry and Olave all unlikely to play.*** |
| 32. | *JuJu Smith-Schuster KC vs. BUF Note: Smith-Schuster had just three catches on eight targets Monday night and had a couple of drops. |
| 33. | Alec Pierce IND vs. JAX |
| 34. | George Pickens PIT vs. TB |
| 35. | DJ Moore CAR at LAR |
| 36. | Marquez Valdes-Scantling KC vs. BUF |
| 37. | Darnell Mooney CHI vs. WAS |
| 38. | Adam Thielen MIN at MIA |
| 39. | *Zay Jones JAC at IND Note: Jones (ankle) has had limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. ***Jones was limited again Friday and is listed as questionable. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Jones is optimistic that he'll play.*** |
| 40. | Brandon Aiyuk SF at ATL |
| 41. | Chase Claypool PIT vs. TB |
| 42. | Darius Slayton NYG vs. BAL |
| 43. | *Isaiah McKenzie BUF at KC Note: McKenzie remained in the concussion protocol Monday after missing Week 5. McKenzie has cleared the concussion protocol. |

| 45. | Joshua Palmer LAC vs. DEN |
| 46. | Randall Cobb GB vs. NYJ |
| 47. | *Rondale Moore ARZ at SEA Note: Moore's target share increased to 19% last week, and he lined up more frequently in the slot. |
| 48. | *Tre'Quan Smith NO vs. CIN Note: ***The Saints likely won't have Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry and Chris Olave.*** |
| 49. | Elijah Moore NYJ at GB |
| 50. | Donovan Peoples-Jones CLE vs. NE |
| 51. | Romeo Doubs GB vs. NYJ |
| 52. | *Khalil Shakir BUF at KC Note: Teammate Isaiah has cleared the concussion protocol, which will likely limit Shakir's playing time Sunday. |
| 53. | Michael Gallup DAL at PHI |
| 54. | *Jamal Agnew JAC at IND Note: ***Teammate Marvin Jones is out.*** |
| 55. | DeVante Parker NE at CLE |

| 57. | Allen Robinson LA vs. CAR |
| 58. | Mecole Hardman KC vs. BUF |
| 59. | Greg Dortch ARZ at SEA |
| 60. | *Robbie Anderson CAR at LAR Note: ***Anderson was held out of practice Friday with an illness.*** |
| 61. | *Dyami Brown WAS at CHI Note: Brown (groin) took full advantage of Jahan Dotson's hamstring injury last week, but he's been limited the first two days so far this week. It appears that Brown (groin) will play despite being listed as questionable. Teammate Jahan Dotson (hamstring) is out again. |
| 62. | *Breshad Perriman TB at PIT Note: Full practice Wednesday. |
| 63. | Noah Brown DAL at PHI |
| 64. | *Wan'Dale Robinson NYG vs. BAL Note: Robinson (knee) has had two limited practices so far this week and could possibly return this week, whereas Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay don't appear to be close. ***Listed as questionable, but is expected to play.*** |

| 66. | K.J. Osborn MIN at MIA |
| 67. | David Sills NYG vs. BAL |
| 68. | KJ Hamler DEN at LAC |
| 69. | *Russell Gage TB at PIT Note: Gage (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice. ***Gage was cleared from the injury list on Friday. Teammate Julio Jones has been listed as doubtful.*** |
| 70. | A.J. Green ARZ at SEA |
| 71. | DeAndre Carter LAC vs. DEN |
| 72. | *Tee Higgins CIN at NO Note: Higgins aggravated an existing ankle sprain after 'rolling' his ankle early against the Ravens, and is day-to-day. Higgins has been held out of practice both days so far - it's not looking good for Sunday. ***Higgins had a limited practice Friday and will be a game-time decision.*** |
| 73. | *Chris Olave NO vs. CIN Note: Olave was in the concussion protocol Monday after hitting his head on the turf on his touchdown catch last week. Olave (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity after not practicing with his teammates on Wednesday. ***Despite a full practice Friday, Olave hasn't yet cleared the league's concussion protocol and is unlikely to play, according to Adam Schefter.*** |
| 74. | *Rashod Bateman BAL at NYG Note: Bateman (foot) 'might be able to come back' this week. Bateman hasn't practiced yet this week. ***Bateman has been ruled out again this week.*** |
| 75. | *Marvin Jones JAC at IND Note: ***Downgraded to out this week due to a hamstring injury.*** |
| 76. | *Christian Watson GB vs. NYJ Note: Watson (hamstring) was a non-participant at both practices so far this week. ***Ruled out this week.*** |
| 77. | *Nelson Agholor NE at CLE Note: Agholor left Sunday's win over the Lions with a hamstring injury. Limited practice Wednesday. ***Ruled out.*** |
| 78. | *Kadarius Toney NYG vs. BAL Note: (Hamstring) Not yet practicing this week. ***Ruled out again this week.*** |
| 79. | *Michael Thomas NO vs. CIN Note: Thomas (foot) still hasn't returned to practice. ***Ruled out again this week.*** |
| 80. | *Jarvis Landry NO vs. CIN Note: Landry (ankle) is not yet practicing this week after sitting out last week. ***Ruled out again this week.*** |
| 81. | *Keenan Allen LAC vs. DEN Note: Allen is *still* considered day-to-day with his hamstring injury. The Chargers play on Monday night this week. Allen was a limited participant at the Chargers' first practice of the week on Thursday. ***Allen is listed as doubtful for Monday night.*** |
| 82. | *Jahan Dotson WAS at CHI Note: Dotson (hamstring) hasn't practiced yet after missing last week's loss to the Titans. Ruled out again this week. |
| 83. | *Julio Jones TB at PIT Note: It's not a good sign when the team suggests that they're playing 'the long game' with Jones's knee. Jones has missed both practices so far this week. ***Listed as doubtful.*** |

| 11. | Deebo Samuel SF at ATL |
| 12. | Leonard Fournette TB at PIT |
| 13. | *Rhamondre Stevenson NE at CLE Note: Teammate Damien Harris will miss time due to a hamstring injury.
