Week 15: No More Bye! Good luck in the playoffs!
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 Bryce Young?"
These are my particular rankings. If you want a second opinion elsewhere on the site, you can see our Weekly Projections.
Each week after Week 1, the first set of rankings will be posted late on Tuesday night. I will then do a set of updates before kickoff on Thursday, and again before kickoff on Sunday morning.

Quarterbacks
| 1. | Josh Allen BUF at DET |
| 2. | *Joe Burrow CIN at TEN Note: Burrow had his house burglarized Monday night, and he was limited Wednesday with knee and wrist issues, but he's expected to be full go Sunday against Tennessee. ***Full practice Friday, cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 3. | Lamar Jackson BAL at NYG |
| 4. | Jalen Hurts PHI vs. PIT |
| 5. | Jayden Daniels WAS at NO |
| 6. | Baker Mayfield TB at LAC |
| 7. | Jared Goff DET vs. BUF |
| 8. | Jordan Love GB at SEA |
| 9. | *Matthew Stafford LA at SF Note: Stafford has a quick turnaround on the road against the Niners this week - can he approach last week's performance? |
| 10. | Tua Tagovailoa MIA at HOU |
| 11. | *Kyler Murray ARZ vs. NE Note: Murray's two first-half interceptions against the Seahawks were costly, this after he drove the Cardinals to a quick touchdown on their first drive. |
| 12. | *Brock Purdy SF vs. LAR Note: Purdy missed one play after taking a big hit last week, but later returned. |
| 13. | Patrick Mahomes KC at CLE |
| 14. | Bo Nix DEN vs. IND |
| 15. | Sam Darnold MIN vs. CHI |
| 16. | Anthony Richardson IND at DEN |
| 17. | *Jameis Winston CLE vs. KC Note: Coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Winston will remain the starter this week despite the Browns officially getting eliminated from the playoffs. |
| 18. | *Justin Herbert LAC vs. TB Note: Herbert downplayed the leg contusion that forced him to briefly leave Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs. Herbert also suffered a sprained ankle in the game and sat out practice Wednesday, though he's still expected to play against the Bucs on Sunday. ***Herbert has been cleared from the injury list after getting a limited practice Thursday and a full practice Friday.*** |
| 19. | Geno Smith SEA vs. GB |
| 20. | C.J. Stroud HOU vs. MIA |
| 21. | *Caleb Williams CHI at MIN Note: Have the Bears considered hypnosis to convince Williams and the rest of the offense that the first half is really the second half? |
| 22. | Bryce Young CAR vs. DAL |
| 23. | Aaron Rodgers NYJ at JAX |
| 24. | *Kirk Cousins ATL at LV Note: Falcons coach Raheem Morris reiterated that Cousins will remain the starter, despite leading the team to a four-game losing streak in which he threw zero touchdowns and eight interceptions. |
| 25. | Drake Maye NE at ARI |
| 26. | Russell Wilson PIT at PHI |
| 27. | *Cooper Rush DAL at CAR Note: Given the opponent, Rush's 183 passing yards and two touchdowns against one interception against the Bengals has to be considered a disappointing line. |
| 28. | *Will Levis TEN vs. CIN Note: Levis got crushed on his previously injured shoulder on the last play before halftime but stayed in the game last week. He was a full practice participant Wednesday. |
| 29. | *Desmond Ridder LV vs. ATL Note: Ridder will likely start in place of the injured Aidan O'Connell, just in time for a Revenge Game against the Falcons. O'Connell hasn't officially been ruled out yet. |
| 30. | *Tommy DeVito NYG vs. BAL Note: DeVito is on track to start this week, with Drew Lock dealing with a heel injury. ***DeVito has been named the starter.*** |
| 31. | *Jake Haener NO vs. WAS Note: Haener stepped in last week when Derek Carr got hurt. I think it'll be him in there this week if Carr can't go, but Spencer Rattler will also be an option. Haener and Rattler split first-team reps Wednesday and coach Darren Rizzi said he wouldn't decide until Friday who will start. ***Named the starter.*** |
| 32. | Mac Jones JAC vs. NYJ |
| 33. | *Drew Lock NYG vs. BAL Note: Lock (undisclosed) will have an MRI this week, but if everything checks out, he'll remain the starter. Lock has a heel injury and is unlikely to start this week. ***Tommy DeVito will start, and Lock is listed as doubtful.*** |
| 34. | *Aidan O'Connell LV vs. ATL Note: O'Connell left last week's loss to the Bucs with a bone bruise in his knee. He has not officially been ruled out yet, but coach Antonio Pierce did say that he expects Desmond Ridder to start this week. The prognosis on O'Connell might not be that bad - he was scheduled to practice Wednesday after all. ***O'Connell ended up not practicing all week, yet he hasn't yet been ruled out. Either the Raiders are doing everything possible to give O'Connell a chance to play, or they're playing games with the injury list for some semblance of competitive advantage, which always drives me crazy.*** |
| 35. | *Spencer Rattler NO vs. WAS Note: Rattler and Jake Haener split the first-team reps in Wednesday's practice, and interim head coach Darren Rizzi said he'd wait until Friday to name a starter for this week. |
| 36. | *Derek Carr NO vs. WAS Note: Carr is week-to-week due to his fractured left (non-throwing) hand. He is also in the concussion protocol. Carr hasn't been officially ruled out yet, but he didn't practice Wednesday and the Saints suggested that they would announce their starter on Friday. ***Officially ruled out.*** |
Running Backs
| 1. | Saquon Barkley PHI vs. PIT |
| 2. | Derrick Henry BAL at NYG |

| 6. | Josh Jacobs GB at SEA |

| 9. | *Aaron Jones MIN vs. CHI Note: Jones was limited at Thursday's walk-through with a back issue. ***Full practice on Friday.*** |
| 10. | David Montgomery DET vs. BUF |

| 12. | Chase Brown CIN at TEN |
| 13. | *De'Von Achane MIA at HOU Note: Achane was held to 24 yards on 14 carries, but salvaged his day with a rushing touchdown and six catches. |

| 15. | Brian Robinson WAS at NO |
| 16. | *Chuba Hubbard CAR vs. DAL Note: ***Mike Boone will be his backup.*** |
| 17. | James Cook BUF at DET |
| 18. | *Isiah Pacheco KC at CLE Note: Pacheco was the Chiefs' clear RB1 on Sunday night. |
| 19. | *Rachaad White TB at LAC Note: White received a heavy workload with Bucky Irving getting hurt midway against the Raiders. |
| 20. | Najee Harris PIT at PHI |
| 21. | James Conner ARZ vs. NE |
| 22. | *Tony Pollard TEN vs. CIN Note: Pollard (ankle) has sat out the first two practices of the week. ***Limited practice Friday - listed as questionable but is expected to play.*** |
| 23. | *Zach Charbonnet SEA vs. GB Note: It's difficult to ignore how much better Charbonnet was against the Cardinals than Kenneth Walker has been recently. ***Walker is doubtful, so it looks to be another full week for Charbonnet.*** |
| 24. | *Breece Hall NYJ at JAX Note: Hall (knee) has missed two practices so far this week. ***Full practice Friday and is active this week.*** |
| 25. | Tyrone Tracy NYG vs. BAL |
| 26. | Rhamondre Stevenson NE at ARI |
| 27. | Nick Chubb CLE vs. KC |
| 28. | *Sincere McCormick LV vs. ATL Note: McCormick fully took over the rushing duties last week for the Raiders. McCormick will start again this week, even if Alexander Mattison (ankle) returns. |
| 29. | *Isaac Guerendo SF vs. LAR Note: Guerendo left late in Week 14 with a sprained foot and has not practiced yet this week. The Niners play on Thursday. Guerendo had a limited practice Wednesday and vowed to play through his sprained foot. |
| 30. | *D'Andre Swift CHI at MIN Note: Swift (quad) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice. ***Swift had a limited practice Saturday after sitting out Thursday and Friday, and is listed as questionable.*** |
| 31. | Gus Edwards LAC vs. TB |
| 32. | Jaylen Warren PIT at PHI |
| 33. | Tank Bigsby JAC vs. NYJ |
| 34. | Ray Davis BUF at DET |
| 35. | Jaleel McLaughlin DEN vs. IND |
| 36. | Jeremy McNichols WAS at NO |
| 37. | *Patrick Taylor SF vs. LAR Note: Taylor could be the next man up for the Niners, after Isaac Guerendo sprained his foot in the win over the Bears. It appears that Guerendo will attempt to play through his sprained foot, but how much? And how much can we trust the Niners? |
| 38. | Javonte Williams DEN vs. IND |
| 39. | Devin Singletary NYG vs. BAL |
| 40. | Travis Etienne JAC vs. NYJ |
| 41. | Tyler Allgeier ATL at LV |
| 42. | Cam Akers MIN vs. CHI |
| 43. | *Bucky Irving TB at LAC Note: Irving left last week's win over the Raiders with a back injury. Irving (hip/back) did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. ***Irving had a limited practice Friday and is listed as questionable. He's expected to play, but it might come down to a pregame warmup and there's always a risk of re-injury.*** |
| 44. | *Braelon Allen NYJ at JAX Note: ***Breece Hall is active after all.*** |
| 45. | *Isaiah Davis NYJ at JAX Note: Davis and Braelon Allen were in a pure timeshare last week with Breece Hall (knee) out. |
| 46. | Blake Corum LA at SF |
| 47. | Justice Hill BAL at NYG |
| 48. | *Kareem Hunt KC at CLE Note: Hunt played only 20 snaps in the win over the Chargers. |
| 49. | Kendre Miller NO vs. WAS |
| 50. | Jerome Ford CLE vs. KC |
| 51. | *Travis Homer CHI at MIN Note: Homer left last week's game against the Niners with a head injury. Homer was a full participant in Thursday's practice, the Bears' first practice of the week. ***Homer will be fully available on Monday night.*** |
| 52. | *Kimani Vidal LAC vs. TB Note: Vidal was on the field more than the previous week and picked up eight carries, but wasn't able to factor in the passing game. |
| 53. | Chris Rodriguez WAS at NO |
| 54. | *Sean Tucker TB at LAC Note: Tucker had three carries for 47 yards and could be the Bucs' No. 2 back this week pending Bucky Irving's back status. |
| 55. | Jaylen Wright MIA at HOU |
| 56. | Kenneth Gainwell PHI vs. PIT |
| 57. | Ty Johnson BUF at DET |
| 58. | *Mike Boone CAR vs. DAL Note: Boone could be the backup behind Chuba Hubbard this week. |
| 59. | *Tyjae Spears TEN vs. CIN Note: Teammate Tony Pollard (ankle) has sat out the first two practices of the week. |
| 60. | *Raheem Mostert MIA at HOU Note: Mostert (hip) was inactive last week after participating in three limited practices. Mostert was limited at Wednesday's practice. ***Full practice Friday.*** |
| 61. | *Alexander Mattison LV vs. ATL Note: Mattison (ankle) could be back this week, but it'll be in a backup role behind Sincere McCormick. |
| 62. | Trey Benson ARZ vs. NE |
| 63. | Dameon Pierce HOU vs. MIA |
| 64. | Ameer Abdullah LV vs. ATL |

| 69. | Kenny McIntosh SEA vs. GB |
| 70. | Khalil Herbert CIN at TEN |
| 71. | Ezekiel Elliott DAL at CAR |
| 72. | *Kenneth Walker SEA vs. GB Note: Walker is getting additional tests on his calf injury, though it appears the ankle injury that was also bothering him has cleared. Walker (calf) is day-to-day, but at least it doesn't require further evaluation and isn't a long-term issue. ***Walker is doubtful for Sunday night.*** |
| 73. | *Roschon Johnson CHI at MIN Note: Johnson (concussion) was a non-participant Thursday. ***Ruled out again this week.*** |
| 74. | *Zamir White LV vs. ATL Note: White (quad) was placed on season-ending IR. |

| 36. | Michael Pittman IND at DEN |
| 37. | DeVonta Smith PHI vs. PIT |
| 38. | DeAndre Hopkins KC at CLE |
| 39. | *Ladd McConkey LAC vs. TB Note: McConkey (knee/shoulder) was inactive last week after being a game-time decision. Limited practice Wednesday. ***McConkey has had three limited practices this week, and his availability should come down to a pregame warmup.*** |

| 41. | Rome Odunze CHI at MIN |
| 42. | Deebo Samuel SF vs. LAR |

| 56. | Devaughn Vele DEN vs. IND |
| 57. | Joshua Palmer LAC vs. TB |
| 58. | *Keon Coleman BUF at DET Note: Coleman (wrist) was a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through session. I'm going to wait until Friday's practices to adjust his ranking accordingly. ***Coleman has been cleared from the injury list.*** |

| 81. | *George Pickens PIT at PHI Note: Pickens (hamstring) is unlikely to be available this week. Pickens hasn't practiced yet this week. ***Officially ruled out.*** |
| 82. | *Cedric Tillman CLE vs. KC Note: Tillman was still in the concussion protocol as of Monday, over two weeks since suffering the injury. Tillman has been limited the first two days of practice this week. ***Ruled out for the third game in a row.*** |

| 14. | Jake Ferguson DAL at CAR |
| 15. | *Dalton Kincaid BUF at DET Note: Kincaid (knee) sat out the loss to the Rams. Kincaid was listed as a full participant Wednesday.

| 40. | *David Njoku CLE vs. KC Note: Njoku is day-to-day with a hamstring injury. He has missed the first two practices of the week. ***INACTIVE.*** |

| 49. | *Patrick Taylor SF vs. LAR Note: Taylor could be the next man up for the Niners, after Isaac Guerendo sprained his foot in the win over the Bears. It appears that Guerendo will attempt to play through his sprained foot, but how much? And how much can we trust the Niners? |
