This article is part of our Weekly Rankings series.
Sunday Update complete
Bye Weeks Begin: CLE, LAC, SEA, TB
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, the first set of rankings will be posted on Tuesday night. 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.
I welcome debate on the rankings

Quarterbacks
| 1. | Josh Allen BUF vs. JAX |
| 2. | Patrick Mahomes KC at MIN |
| 3. | Jalen Hurts PHI at LAR |
| 4. | Tua Tagovailoa MIA vs. NYG |
| 5. | Kirk Cousins MIN vs. KC |
| 6. | Lamar Jackson BAL at PIT |
| 7. | Anthony Richardson IND vs. TEN |
| 8. | Justin Fields CHI at WAS |
| 9. | Trevor Lawrence JAC at BUF |
| 10. | *Brock Purdy SF vs. DAL Note: Purdy nearly threw a perfect game in the win over the Cardinals. |
| 11. | *Matthew Stafford LA vs. PHI Note: Stafford suffered a hip contusion in the win over the Colts but never left the game, though he was clearly favoring it. Stafford put in a full practice on Wednesday. |
| 12. | C.J. Stroud HOU at ATL |
| 13. | *Jared Goff DET vs. CAR Note: ***I moved Goff down a few spots with Amon-Ra St. Brown doubtful.*** |
| 14. | Dak Prescott DAL at SF |
| 15. | Sam Howell WAS vs. CHI |
| 16. | Jordan Love GB at LV |
| 17. | *Joe Burrow CIN at ARI Note: Burrow will continue to play through the pain of his calf injury, and he likely won't have Tee Higgins to throw to this week. Burrow said Wednesday that he was feeling better than he did the past few weeks, for whatever that's worth. |
| 18. | Russell Wilson DEN vs. NYJ |
| 19. | Zach Wilson NYJ at DEN |
| 20. | Bryce Young CAR at DET |
| 21. | *Daniel Jones NYG at MIA Note: Jones was sacked a whopping 10 times in the loss Monday night |
| 22. | *Jimmy Garoppolo LV vs. GB Note: Garoppolo remained in the concussion protocol as of Monday. Garoppolo is in the final stages of the concussion protocol and is slated for a full practice Thursday. ***Garoppolo cleared the concussion protocol and fully practiced Friday and will play on Monday night.*** |
| 23. | Joshua Dobbs ARZ vs. CIN |
| 24. | *Derek Carr NO at NE Note: Carr (shoulder) averaged a mere 3.4 yards per attempt in the loss to the Bucs. Much like the Bengals with Joe Burrow, the Saints need to ask the hard question whether they'd be better off giving Carr a game off to recover. At least they have a veteran backup in Jameis Winston. Carr was limited Wednesday but 'threw a little bit more' than he did at this stage last week. He was also limited Thursday. ***Carr had three limited practices this week and is listed as questionable, though he's expected to play.*** |
| 25. | *Kenny Pickett PIT vs. BAL Note: Pickett suffered a bone bruise in his knee and was forced to leave the game. Head coach Mike Tomlin said that he expects Pickett to practice in some capacity on Wednesday. Unsurprisingly, Pickett was limited in practice Wednesday, but it's looking likely that he'll play. He was a full participant Thursday. ***Pickett had a full practice Friday and was cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 26. | Ryan Tannehill TEN at IND |
| 27. | *Desmond Ridder ATL vs. HOU Note: Falcons coach Arthur Smith reiterated Monday that Ridder will remain the starting quarterback of Taylor Heinicke. That he has to answer the question is a sign of Ridder's struggles. |
| 28. | *Mac Jones NE vs. NO Note: Jones got the dreaded vote of confidence as the starter after getting benched last week in the loss to the Cowboys. |
| 29. | Taysom Hill NO at NE |
| 30. | Jameis Winston NO at NE |
| 31. | *Mitch Trubisky PIT vs. BAL Note: Trubisky replaced Kenny Pickett (knee) in the second of Sunday's loss to the Texans. The Steelers expect that Pickett should be able to practice Wednesday. ***Pickett has been cleared from the injury list and will start ahead of Trubisky.*** |
| 32. | Aidan O'Connell LV vs. GB |
Running Backs
| 1. | Christian McCaffrey SF vs. DAL |
| 2. | Bijan Robinson ATL vs. HOU |
| 3. | D'Andre Swift PHI at LAR |
| 4. | Derrick Henry TEN at IND |
| 5. | Travis Etienne JAC at BUF |
| 6. | Tony Pollard DAL at SF |
| 7. | *David Montgomery DET vs. CAR Note: ***Teammate Jahmyr Gibbs is doubtful with a hamstring injury.*** |
| 8. | Brian Robinson WAS vs. CHI |
| 9. | Josh Jacobs LV vs. GB |
| 10. | *Breece Hall NYJ at DEN Note: Hall will not be on a 'pitch count' any longer - perfect timing, with the Jets going up against the Broncos. |
| 11. | *Aaron Jones GB at LV Note: Jones (hamstring) had a limited practice Thursday, on the Packers' first practice of the week. ***Limited again on Friday.*** |
| 12. | James Conner ARZ vs. CIN |
| 13. | Isiah Pacheco KC at MIN |
| 14. | Raheem Mostert MIA vs. NYG |
| 15. | Alexander Mattison MIN vs. KC |
| 16. | James Cook BUF vs. JAX |
| 17. | Joe Mixon CIN at ARI |
| 18. | Alvin Kamara NO at NE |
| 19. | *Kyren Williams LA vs. PHI Note: Williams suffered a bruised hip in the win over the Colts, but played 57 snaps. Williams sat out practice Wednesday, but coach Sean McVay said that Williams should play Sunday. Williams returned to practice Thursday. ***Williams has been cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 20. | De'Von Achane MIA vs. NYG |
| 21. | *Jonathan Taylor IND vs. TEN Note: Taylor (ankle) will resume practicing with the Colts on Wednesday. That doesn't mean that he's off the PUP list yet - but it starts the Colts' 21-day window to decide on him. It's possible that he plays as early as this weekend, though. Taylor has practiced fully both days this week and says he's 100 percent healthy. ***Taylor agreed to a contract extension, got cleared from the PUP list and is not on the injured list. He and Zack Moss will split carries this week.*** |
| 22. | *Miles Sanders CAR at DET Note: Sanders was able to play through his groin injury, though he played fewer snaps than Chuba Hubbard and didn't run as well. Sanders (groin) was limited both Wednesday and Thursday. ***Sanders was cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 23. | *Gus Edwards BAL at PIT Note: ***Teammate Justice Hill is unlikely to play, and Keaton Mitchell hasn't been activated yet.*** |
| 24. | *Dameon Pierce HOU at ATL Note: Pierce was listed as limited Wednesday due to a knee injury. He had full reps on Thursday. |
| 25. | Najee Harris PIT vs. BAL |
| 26. | *Rhamondre Stevenson NE vs. NO Note: What's your panic level on Stevenson? I think mine is pretty high. Stevenson was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday with a thigh injury. ***Stevenson was limited in practice all week but is expected to play.*** |
| 27. | *Matt Breida NYG at MIA Note: Breida got 19 touches with Barkley out and could get a similar workload this week against Miami. ***Barkley is not expected to play.*** |
| 28. | *Zack Moss IND vs. TEN Note: Moss's teammate Jonathan Taylor could come off the PUP list as early as this week - he'll begin practicing on Wednesday. ***Taylor is off the PUP list and will play this week. He and Moss are expected to split carries this week.*** |
| 29. | Jaylen Warren PIT vs. BAL |
| 30. | Kenneth Gainwell PHI at LAR |
| 31. | Tyler Allgeier ATL vs. HOU |
| 32. | *Jaleel McLaughlin DEN vs. NYJ Note: ***Teammate Javonte Williams (quadricep) is a true game-time decision.*** |
| 33. | Tyjae Spears TEN at IND |
| 34. | *Samaje Perine DEN vs. NYJ Note: ***Teammate Javonte Williams (quad) is a true game-time decision.*** |
| 35. | Chuba Hubbard CAR at DET |
| 36. | Ezekiel Elliott NE vs. NO |
| 37. | Antonio Gibson WAS vs. CHI |
| 38. | AJ Dillon GB at LV |
| 39. | *Damien Harris BUF vs. JAX Note: Harris (neck) was limited Wednesday but fully practiced Thursday. |
| 40. | *Javonte Williams DEN vs. NYJ Note: Williams suffered a hip flexor injury against the Bears and left in the first half. He's not expected to miss much time - for whatever that phrase is worth. Williams sat out practice Wednesday, and the team reclassified his injury as a quad injury. He had a limited practice Thursday. ***Williams had a full practice Friday, but is a true game-time decision and is officially listed as questionable.*** |
| 41. | Craig Reynolds DET vs. CAR |
| 42. | Cam Akers MIN vs. KC |
| 43. | Devin Singletary HOU at ATL |
| 44. | Latavius Murray BUF vs. JAX |

| 47. | Tank Bigsby JAC at BUF |
| 48. | *Gary Brightwell NYG at MIA Note: Brightwell was limited in practice Wednesday with an ankle injury. |
| 49. | Michael Carter NYJ at DEN |
| 50. | Jordan Mason SF vs. DAL |
| 51. | Clyde Edwards-Helaire KC at MIN |
| 52. | Ronnie Rivers LA vs. PHI |

| 54. | Boston Scott PHI at LAR |
| 55. | Deuce Vaughn DAL at SF |
| 56. | Kendre Miller NO at NE |
| 57. | Emanuel Wilson GB at LV |
| 58. | *Rico Dowdle DAL at SF Note: Dowdle suffered a hip contusion in the win over the Patriots. Did not practice Wednesday. |
| 59. | Cordarrelle Patterson ATL vs. HOU |
| 60. | *Keaontay Ingram ARZ vs. CIN Note: Ingram (neck) did not practice Wednesday. ***Limited practices Thursday and Friday and is listed as questionable.*** |
| 61. | Salvon Ahmed MIA vs. NYG |
| 62. | *Roschon Johnson CHI at WAS Note: ***Johnson left Thursday's game with a concussion.*** |
| 63. | *Justice Hill BAL at PIT Note: Hill was limited Wednesday both by a foot and hamstring injury. ***Full practice Friday, and his availability is up for debate.*** |
| 64. | *Jahmyr Gibbs DET vs. CAR Note: ***Gibbs was added to the injury report late with a hamstring injury and is doubtful.*** |
| 65. | *Saquon Barkley NYG at MIA Note: Barkley was inactive Monday night despite making progress throughout the week. Barkley (ankle) has been limited in two practices so far this week. ***Barkley was a limited participant in all three practices and is not expected to play.*** |
| 66. | *Elijah Mitchell SF vs. DAL Note: Mitchell (knee) is day-to-day for this week. Mitchell did not practice Wednesday. ***Ruled out again for this week.*** |
| 67. | *Khalil Herbert CHI at WAS Note: ***Herbert will miss multiple weeks with the ankle injury he suffered on Thursday night.*** |
| 68. | Keaton Mitchell BAL at PIT |
Wide Receivers

| 3. | Stefon Diggs BUF vs. JAX |
| 4. | A.J. Brown PHI at LAR |
| 5. | Brandon Aiyuk SF vs. DAL |
| 6. | *Ja'Marr Chase CIN at ARI Note: This feels like a squeaky wheel gets the grease type of game coming up for Chase. |
| 7. | CeeDee Lamb DAL at SF |
| 8. | *Davante Adams LV vs. GB Note: Adams briefly left with a shoulder issue last week, but was able to return. Adams sat out Thursday's practice for the Raiders. ***Adams returned to practice Saturday and is listed as questionable, but is expected to play Monday night.*** |
| 9. | Calvin Ridley JAC at BUF |
| 10. | *Chris Olave NO at NE Note: Olave nearly connected with Derek Carr on a deep ball, but the pass was slightly under thrown and the defender caught up to get a hand on it. It led to Olave having a terrible day. |
| 11. | Jaylen Waddle MIA vs. NYG |
| 12. | *Cooper Kupp LA vs. PHI Note: Kupp (hamstring) is eligible to return, but will he? Kupp practiced on Wednesday and while he was officially listed as limited, he looked good and the Rams expect to increase his activity over the course of the week. If he plays, I'll put him around 20th. ***Kupp had full practices on Thursday and Friday and will be active this week without any limitations.*** |

| 20. | Puka Nacua LA vs. PHI |
| 21. | George Pickens PIT vs. BAL |
| 22. | *Deebo Samuel SF vs. DAL Note: While he wasn't targeted in the win over the Cardinals, Samuel still played 48 snaps. Still, it sounds as if he'll have his practice reps managed this week. Not surprisingly, Deebo was limited Wednesday. ***Samuel has been cleared from the injury list and is expected to play.*** |
| 23. | Gabe Davis BUF vs. JAX |
| 24. | Christian Kirk JAC at BUF |
| 25. | *Christian Watson GB at LV Note: Watson (hamstring) was limited Thursday in the Packers' first practice of the week. ***Watson was cleared from the injury list and is expected to play Monday night.*** |

| 28. | Marquise Brown ARZ vs. CIN |
| 29. | Romeo Doubs GB at LV |
| 30. | Tank Dell HOU at ATL |
| 31. | Adam Thielen CAR at DET |
| 32. | *Tyler Boyd CIN at ARI Note: Even if Tee Higgins (rib) is able to play this week, you have to think Boyd would be taking some of Higgins's targets. |
| 33. | *Michael Wilson ARZ vs. CIN Note: Wilson scored twice against the Niners and seems to be moving in as the Cardinals' No. 2 receiver over Rondale Moore. |
| 34. | *Jerry Jeudy DEN vs. NYJ Note: Jeudy (knee) put in a full practice Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. |
| 35. | *Jahan Dotson WAS vs. CHI Note: Dotson (ankle) was limited in practice on Tuesday. Dotson has been cleared from the injury report. |

| 63. | *Zay Jones JAC at BUF Note: Jones (knee) has been limited in both of the Jaguars' practices this week. ***Limited all week but active for Sunday's London game.*** |
| 64. | *Jameson Williams DET vs. CAR Note: Williams's suspension was shortened by two games, making him eligible for this week. It sounds as if he'll only get a smattering of plays. Williams had a full practice Wednesday. ***Williams is still expected to be limited to around 20 snaps, even with Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdominal) doubtful.*** |
| 65. | Nick Westbrook-Ikhine TEN at IND |

| 81. | Parris Campbell NYG at MIA |
| 82. | Jalen Tolbert DAL at SF |
| 83. | *Tee Higgins CIN at ARI Note: Higgins suffered a fractured rib in the loss to the Titans. He said that he's not ruling himself out for the week, but I'm going to wait until he's actually practicing or we get an official clearing by the Bengals before moving him back up. Higgins has missed the first two practices of the week. ***Higgins is not expected to play this week.*** |
| 84. | *Amon-Ra St. Brown DET vs. CAR Note: St-Brown has sat out the first two practices of the week with an abdominal injury, though he was working out to the side. ***Downgraded to doubtful.*** |

| 36. | *Juwan Johnson NO at NE Note: Johnson (calf) was ruled out shortly after kickoff last week. Did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. ***Ruled out for this week.*** |

| 59. | Tutu Atwell LA vs. PHI |
| 60. | Alvin Kamara NO at NE |
| 61. | *Miles Sanders CAR at DET Note: Sanders was able to play through his groin injury, though he played fewer snaps than Chuba Hubbard and didn't run as well. Sanders (groin) was limited both Wednesday and Thursday. ***Sanders was cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 62. | Najee Harris PIT vs. BAL |
| 63. | *Gus Edwards BAL at PIT Note: ***Teammate Justice Hill is unlikely to play, and Keaton Mitchell hasn't been activated yet.*** |
| 64. | *Rhamondre Stevenson NE vs. NO Note: What's your panic level on Stevenson? I think mine is pretty high. Stevenson was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday with a thigh injury. ***Stevenson was limited in practice all week but is expected to play.*** |
| 65. | Jakobi Meyers LV vs. GB |
| 66. | *Michael Wilson ARZ vs. CIN Note: Wilson scored twice against the Niners and seems to be moving in as the Cardinals' No. 2 receiver over Rondale Moore. |
| 67. | Jordan Addison MIN vs. KC |
| 68. | George Kittle SF vs. DAL |
| 69. | *Matt Breida NYG at MIA Note: Breida got 19 touches with Barkley out and could get a similar workload this week against Miami. ***Barkley is not expected to play.*** |
| 70. | *Zack Moss IND vs. TEN Note: Moss's teammate Jonathan Taylor could come off the PUP list as early as this week - he'll begin practicing on Wednesday. ***Taylor is off the PUP list and will play this week. He and Moss are expected to split carries this week.*** |
| 71. | *Jaleel McLaughlin DEN vs. NYJ Note: ***Teammate Javonte Williams (quadricep) is a true game-time decision.*** |
| 72. | Michael Thomas NO at NE |
| 73. | Drake London ATL vs. HOU |
| 74. | *Jahan Dotson WAS vs. CHI Note: Dotson (ankle) was limited in practice on Tuesday. Dotson has been cleared from the injury report. |
