This article is part of our Weekly Rankings series.
Sunday Update in progress
Thursday: GB@DET, KC@DAL, CIN@BAL; Friday: CHI@PHI
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 fantasy football 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.
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 in the comments. Please keep it friendly.
Quarterbacks
| 1. | Josh Allen BUF at PIT |
| 2. | Jalen Hurts PHI vs. CHI |
| 3. | *Dak Prescott DAL vs. KC Note: Given the quality of the competition, Dak's performance in the comeback win over the Eagles might have been his best effort of the season. LT Tyler Guyton will miss Thursday's game. |
| 4. | Patrick Mahomes KC at DAL |
| 5. | Drake Maye NE vs. NYG |
| 6. | *Matthew Stafford LA at CAR Note: Stafford kept rolling against the Bucs, completing his first 13 passes. He's now the betting favorite for the MVP award. |
| 7. | *Baker Mayfield TB vs. ARI Note: Mayfield suffered a sprained AC joint in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. It's possible that Mayfield might return this week, though hardly a sure thing. Mayfield sat out Wednesday's walkthrough practice. There's some hope that he plays this week - the sprain is considered a minor one, and it'll be a pain-tolerance issue for him. ***Mayfield is listed as questionable but is expected to play.*** |
| 8. | *Lamar Jackson BAL vs. CIN Note: Jackson (toe) missed Monday's walkthrough but fully practiced Tuesday. When watching the BAL-NYJ game from last week, it appeared that he either did not want to run or had significant limitations on when to run from the team. I wonder if that changes Thursday night against the Bengals? Jackson has been cleared from the injury list. |
| 9. | *Jacoby Brissett ARZ at TB Note: We'll get another week of Brissett chucking it around, this time on the road against the Bucs. It looks like he still won't have Marvin Harrison Jr. |
| 10. | Justin Herbert LAC vs. LV |
| 11. | *Joe Burrow CIN at BAL Note: Burrow (toe) was a full participant in Monday's practice and is expected to return to action Thursday night in Baltimore. Both Burrow and Flacco fully practiced Tuesday. Officially activated off the IR and will start on Thursday night. |
| 12. | Bo Nix DEN at WAS |
| 13. | Sam Darnold SEA vs. MIN |
| 14. | *Daniel Jones IND vs. HOU Note: I still have my concerns about Jones facing teams with a good pass rush - of which Houston certainly qualifies. Jones (fibula) was limited in Wednesday's practice, but coach Shane Steichen said Jones will be good to go. ***Jones will be playing through a fractured fibula. He fully practiced Thursday and Friday.*** |
| 15. | *Jared Goff DET vs. GB Note: Goff will be without center Graham Glasgow. Eventually he'll be getting Frank Ragnow out of retirement - either Week 14 against the Cowboys or Week 15 against the Rams. |
| 16. | *Jaxson Dart NYG at NE Note: Dart (concussion) fully practiced Wednesday but remains in the protocol - like C.J. Stroud, a full practice is one of the steps to get out of the protocol. ***Dart has cleared the concussion protocol and will start Monday night against the Pats.*** |
| 17. | *Caleb Williams CHI at PHI Note: The sack-fumble-touchdown against the Steelers reeked of last season's performances, but I love how Williams bounced back afterwards to beat the Steelers. |
| 18. | Jordan Love GB at DET |
| 19. | *Trevor Lawrence JAC at TEN Note: Lawrence threw three interceptions and had a fumble-six, but also threw three touchdowns in the overtime win over Arizona. |
| 20. | *C.J. Stroud HOU at IND Note: Stroud remains in the concussion protocol, but the Texans are optimistic that he might return this week against the Colts. Stroud fully practiced Wednesday, and is in the concussion protocol still. A full practice is one of the steps in advancing out of the protocol. ***Stroud has cleared the concussion protocol and will return this week.*** |
| 21. | Tua Tagovailoa MIA vs. NO |
| 22. | *Aaron Rodgers PIT vs. BUF Note: Rodgers (wrist) will be limited in practice to begin the week. The Steelers have 'great optimism' that he'll be able to play against the Bills. Rodgers didn't practice Wednesday, but is set to resume practicing on Thursday. ***Rodgers will be playing through three non-displaced fractures in his left wrist.*** |
| 23. | *Geno Smith LV at LAC Note: Smith was sacked 10 times in the loss to the Browns. Afterwards, his offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly, was fired. |
| 24. | *Brock Purdy SF at CLE Note: Purdy had an ugly game against the Panthers, throwing three first-half interceptions while being limited to 193 yards overall. This week he gets the Browns and a nasty weather forecast. |
| 25. | *Marcus Mariota WAS vs. DEN Note: It looks as if Mariota will get another start this week against the Broncos. ***Mariota is officially starting again this week.*** |
| 26. | *Bryce Young CAR vs. LAR Note: Young reverted back to form, unfortunately, in the loss to the Niners. His Week 11 outburst against the Falcons looks like a turbo outlier. |
| 27. | *Cam Ward TEN vs. JAX Note: I was encouraged a little bit by Ward's outing against the Seahawks. Notably, I liked how he scrambled more frequently, and that there were some designed runs for him. |
| 28. | Tyrod Taylor NYJ vs. ATL |
| 29. | Tyler Shough NO at MIA |
| 30. | Kirk Cousins ATL at NYJ |
| 31. | *Max Brosmer MIN at SEA Note: Brosmer will take first-team reps this week with J.J. McCarthy in the concussion protocol. He may make his first start, albeit on the road against the Seahawks. ***Brosmer has been officially named as the starter.*** |
| 32. | *Shedeur Sanders CLE vs. SF Note: Sanders will get a second start this week against the Niners, with Dillon Gabriel (concussion) serving as the backup. |
| 33. | *Teddy Bridgewater TB vs. ARI Note: Bridgewater looked like a player that hadn't seen meaningful action since 2022 when he went in for Mayfield on Sunday night. Bridgewater will get the majority of the first-team reps in practice this week, but Baker Mayfield hasn't been ruled out yet. ***It appears that Baker Mayfield will be able to return.*** |
| 34. | *Joe Flacco CIN at BAL Note: Flacco (shoulder, finger) was listed as limited at Monday's estimated practice. He's expected to cede the starting job back to Joe Burrow this week. Both quarterbacks fully practiced Tuesday. Burrow has officially been activated off the IR, so Flacco will resume a backup role. |
| 35. | *Jameis Winston NYG at NE Note: Winston was fantastic for a long stretch of the Giants' loss to the Lions, but teammate Jaxson Dart will get an extra day this week to clear the concussion protocol for the Monday night game against the Pats. Dart has cleared the concussion protocol and will start ahead of Winston on Monday night.*** |
| 36. | *Mason Rudolph PIT vs. BUF Note: ***Rudolph will retreat to the sidelines with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) returning.*** |
| 37. | *Davis Mills HOU at IND Note: Mills has been at the helm of three wins while C.J. Stroud (concussion) has been out, but he's not necessarily the reason why the Texans have been winning. C.J. Stroud could return this week. ***Mills will return to the bench with C.J. Stroud returning this week.*** |
| 38. | *J.J. McCarthy MIN at SEA Note: The Vikings placed J.J. McCarthy in the concussion protocol on Monday after experiencing symptoms after the game. McCarthy improved enough to have a limited practice Wednesday. He's still not expected to play this week. ***Officially ruled out.*** |
| 39. | *Jayden Daniels WAS vs. DEN Note: Daniels (elbow) will resume practicing this week but isn't expected to return to action on Sunday night. Daniels was limited in Wednesday's practice. ***Daniels has been ruled out for this week. He has a chance to return in Week 14, though he hasn't yet been cleared for contact.*** |
Running Backs
| 1. | Jahmyr Gibbs DET vs. GB |
| 2. | De'Von Achane MIA vs. NO |
| 3. | Christian McCaffrey SF at CLE |
| 4. | Jonathan Taylor IND vs. HOU |
| 5. | Bijan Robinson ATL at NYJ |
| 6. | James Cook BUF at PIT |
| 7. | *Saquon Barkley PHI vs. CHI Note: Barkley (groin) was limited at Tuesday's walk-through practice. |
| 8. | Derrick Henry BAL vs. CIN |
| 9. | *Jaylen Warren PIT vs. BUF Note: Warren (ankle) had a season-high 18 carries in the loss to the Bears. |
| 10. | *Chase Brown CIN at BAL Note: Brown surprisingly ran for 107 yards against the Pats, and has at least 100 yards from scrimmage in his last five games. |
| 11. | *TreVeyon Henderson NE vs. NYG Note: Henderson led the Pats in carries again, but annoyingly was shut out of goal line carries. |
| 12. | *Rico Dowdle CAR vs. LAR Note: Dowdle had just 10 touches (six carries) in the loss to the Niners and was upset afterwards. Is this a potential squeaky wheel situation? |
| 13. | Travis Etienne JAC at TEN |
| 14. | Breece Hall NYJ vs. ATL |
| 15. | *Josh Jacobs GB at DET Note: Jacobs (knee) was limited in Tuesday's walk-through practice. Jacobs is expected to play on Thursday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. |
| 16. | Kyren Williams LA at CAR |
| 17. | Javonte Williams DAL vs. KC |
| 18. | RJ Harvey DEN at WAS |
| 19. | *Kenneth Walker SEA vs. MIN Note: Walker (glute) still led the Seahawks with 11 carries for 71 yards and added three catches. He should be fine this week against the Vikings. ***Walker was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but cleared from the injury list on Friday.*** |
| 20. | Woody Marks HOU at IND |
| 21. | *D'Andre Swift CHI at PHI Note: Swift lost a fumble against the Steelers and was outproduced by teammate Kyle Monangai. |
| 22. | *Bucky Irving TB vs. ARI Note: Irving (shoulder) will practice all week and will be cleared to play if he avoids any setbacks. ***Irving is expected to play, but is officially listed as questionable.*** |
| 23. | *Kimani Vidal LAC vs. LV Note: Vidal left with a thigh injury in the Week 11 loss to the Jags - let's see what his practice activity is before ranking him. He'd go roughly between 20-25 if fully healthy. ***Vidal will play, and Omarion Hampton will sit out again for at least one more week.*** |
| 24. | *Ashton Jeanty LV at LAC Note: Jeanty suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Week 12's loss to the Browns. ***Jeanty has been cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 25. | *Quinshon Judkins CLE vs. SF Note: Judkins twice got checked out for potential head injuries in the fourth quarter against the Raiders. |
| 26. | Aaron Jones MIN at SEA |
| 27. | Kyle Monangai CHI at PHI |
| 28. | *Devin Neal NO at MIA Note: Neal is next up behind Alvin Kamara (knee), but the Saints haven't used him frequently in the running game, instead seeing fit to give the ball more to Taysom Hill. ***Neal has been cleared from the injury list, while teammate Alvin Kamara (knee) has been ruled out. He'll likely start, but there's a good chance it won't be a situation where he gets feature back usage.*** |
| 29. | Tyrone Tracy NYG at NE |
| 30. | Kenneth Gainwell PIT vs. BUF |
| 31. | *Isiah Pacheco KC at DAL Note: Pacheco (knee) will return Thursday after missing the last four games. |
| 32. | Zach Charbonnet SEA vs. MIN |
| 33. | *Chris Rodriguez WAS vs. DEN Note: ***Rodriguez (illness) fully practiced Thursday.*** |
| 34. | *Kareem Hunt KC at DAL Note: Teammate Isiah Pacheco (knee) has been cleared to return this week, reducing both Hunt and Pacheco to a timeshare. |
| 35. | *Rhamondre Stevenson NE vs. NYG Note: Stevenson had just six carries for five yards and was twice stuffed at the goal line by the Bengals ... who are the Bengals. |
| 36. | Sean Tucker TB vs. ARI |
| 37. | Tony Pollard TEN vs. JAX |
| 38. | *Bam Knight ARZ at TB Note: Knight appeared to suffer a lower leg injury in the loss to the Jaguars. ***Knight had three limited practices and is listed as questionable, and is expected to play.*** |
| 39. | *Emanuel Wilson GB at DET Note: Josh Jacobs (knee) is due back on Thursday, according to Ian Rapoport. |
| 40. | Devin Singletary NYG at NE |
| 41. | Jordan Mason MIN at SEA |
| 42. | Ollie Gordon MIA vs. NO |
| 43. | *David Montgomery DET vs. GB Note: Montgomery's snap share has continued to decline while Jahmyr Gibbs has these monster games. |
| 44. | Tyler Allgeier ATL at NYJ |
| 45. | *Dylan Sampson CLE vs. SF Note: Sampson scored on a 66-yard screen pass in the win over the Raiders. Meanwhile, teammate Quinshon Judkins twice got checked out for injuries in the fourth quarter. |
| 46. | Rachaad White TB vs. ARI |
| 47. | Michael Carter ARZ at TB |
| 48. | Brian Robinson SF at CLE |
| 49. | Jacory Croskey-Merritt WAS vs. DEN |
| 50. | *Bhayshul Tuten JAC at TEN Note: Tuten (ankle) played a lesser role in the win over the Cardinals, perhaps due to his ankle injury. |
| 51. | Tyjae Spears TEN vs. JAX |
| 52. | Chuba Hubbard CAR vs. LAR |
| 53. | Blake Corum LA at CAR |
| 54. | Nick Chubb HOU at IND |
| 55. | Jaret Patterson LAC vs. LV |
| 56. | *Keaton Mitchell BAL vs. CIN Note: ***Mitchell's role should increase with Justice Hill (neck) getting placed on IR.*** |
| 57. | Jaleel McLaughlin DEN at WAS |
| 58. | *Raheem Mostert LV at LAC Note: Mostert caught all three of his targets in the loss to the Browns. He's likely next in line if Ashton Jeanty (ankle) can't go against the Chargers. |
| 59. | *Samaje Perine CIN at BAL Note: Perine (ankle) fully participated in Tuesday's practice. He's likely to reclaim the Bengals' backup duties this week, with Tahj Brooks (concussion) already ruled out. |
| 60. | Chris Brooks GB at DET |
| 61. | Jeremy McNichols WAS vs. DEN |
| 62. | Ty Johnson BUF at PIT |
| 63. | Isaiah Davis NYJ vs. ATL |
| 64. | Ray Davis BUF at PIT |
| 65. | Brashard Smith KC at DAL |

| 71. | *Omarion Hampton LAC vs. LV Note: Hampton (ankle) will have his 21-day practice window opened this week. ***Hampton will sit out at least one more week.*** |
Wide Receivers
| 1. | Jaxon Smith-Njigba SEA vs. MIN |
| 2. | *Rashee Rice KC at DAL Note: Rice (hamstring) fully practiced Tuesday. |
| 3. | Puka Nacua LA at CAR |
| 4. | *Ja'Marr Chase CIN at BAL Note: Back from suspension, and gets Joe Burrow back, but alas without Tee Higgins (concussion) on the other side. |
| 5. | *George Pickens DAL vs. KC Note: Pickens (knee/calf) sat out Monday's walkthrough and was limited Tuesday. Pickens has been cleared from the injury list. |
| 6. | Davante Adams LA at CAR |
| 7. | *CeeDee Lamb DAL vs. KC Note: Drops remain a problem - he had three plays that could have characterized as drops against the Eagles, including one in the end zone. |
| 8. | Tetairoa McMillan CAR vs. LAR |
| 9. | *Nico Collins HOU at IND Note: Collins appeared to be shaken up a bit before halftime in the Thursday night game, but he was able to return. Watch his status in practice this week. |
| 10. | Ladd McConkey LAC vs. LV |
| 11. | Courtland Sutton DEN at WAS |
| 12. | A.J. Brown PHI vs. CHI |
| 13. | Stefon Diggs NE vs. NYG |
| 14. | Jaylen Waddle MIA vs. NO |
| 15. | *Michael Wilson ARZ at TB Note: ***Teammate Marvin Harrison will return this week.*** |

| 17. | Zay Flowers BAL vs. CIN |
| 18. | Justin Jefferson MIN at SEA |
| 19. | Rome Odunze CHI at PHI |
| 20. | Michael Pittman IND vs. HOU |
| 21. | *DeVonta Smith PHI vs. CHI Note: Smith (chest/shoulder) sat out Tuesday's walkthrough practice. |
| 22. | *Wan'Dale Robinson NYG at NE Note: ***Robinson (ankle) was cleared from the injury report on Saturday.*** |
| 23. | *DK Metcalf PIT vs. BUF Note: Metcalf injured his ankle early in the loss to the Bears, but still managed to play 61 snaps. He'll be limited to begin the week. ***Metcalf had no restrictions at practice.*** |
| 24. | Christian Watson GB at DET |
| 25. | *Marvin Harrison ARZ at TB Note: Harrison (appendix) doesn't have a timetable to return to action. ***Harrison is ACTIVE for Sunday's game against the Bucs after having three limited practices this week.*** |

| 27. | Troy Franklin DEN at WAS |
| 28. | Jayden Higgins HOU at IND |
| 29. | Khalil Shakir BUF at PIT |
| 30. | *Terry McLaurin WAS vs. DEN Note: McLaurin (quad) is practicing this week and could return. If he plays, I'd rank him somewhere between 20-30. ***McLaurin will return to action on Sunday night.*** |
| 31. | Emeka Egbuka TB vs. ARI |
| 32. | Jauan Jennings SF at CLE |
| 33. | DJ Moore CHI at PHI |
| 34. | Alec Pierce IND vs. HOU |
| 35. | Jameson Williams DET vs. GB |
| 36. | *Brian Thomas JAC at TEN Note: There was a report from Tom Pelissero prior to Week 12 that Thomas (ankle) has a good chance to return this week. We'll leave him down here until we see practice reports and team confirmation. If he plays, I'll give him a modest ranking - probably between 30-40. ***Thomas (ankle) fully practiced this week and will return to action.*** |
| 37. | Deebo Samuel WAS vs. DEN |
| 38. | Romeo Doubs GB at DET |
| 39. | Darnell Mooney ATL at NYJ |
| 40. | *Kayshon Boutte NE vs. NYG Note: Boutte only had two catches in the win over the Bengals, but had an 80 percent snap share at least. |
| 41. | *Rashid Shaheed SEA vs. MIN Note: Maybe an increased usage is coming, but it hasn't arrived yet. Shaheed had just two targets and a run, and seems to be mostly limited to go routes and gadget plays. |
| 42. | *John Metchie NYJ vs. ATL Note: Metchie has led the Jets receivers in snaps the last two weeks and had seven targets in the loss to the Ravens. |
| 43. | *Xavier Worthy KC at DAL Note: Worthy (wrist) played a season-high 71 snaps in the win over the Colts. He was limited in Tuesday's practice. |

| 74. | Roman Wilson PIT vs. BUF |
| 75. | Jalen Nailor MIN at SEA |
| 76. | Marvin Mims DEN at WAS |
| 77. | *David Sills ATL at NYJ Note: I'm listing Sills only because he scored last week and could be the Falcons' second wideout again this week if Drake London (knee) misses another game. |
| 78. | DeAndre Hopkins BAL vs. CIN |
| 79. | Calvin Austin PIT vs. BUF |
| 80. | *Joshua Palmer BUF at PIT Note: ***Palmer is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.*** |

He'll likely start, but there's a good chance it won't be a situation where he gets feature back usage.*** |
