This article is part of our Weekly Rankings series.
***Sunday Update complete***
Two Saturday games - IND @ BAL, MIN @ GB.
No Thursday Game
Here are my rankings (if you want a second opinion, please see our formula-based projections - these are not tied into my rankings at all) for the coming week at each position to help you decide your starting lineup. Our rankings are based on the following scoring system: four points for a passing touchdown; six points for a rushing/receiving touchdown; one point for every 20 passing yards; and one point for every 10 rushing/receiving yards. ***Flex Rankings are for PPR leagues.***
I will update these during the week, usually twice per week to account for injury or other news during practice. The timing of those updates will vary based on the news at hand and my schedule for the given week. But the first of those updates usually won't happen until Thursday. At any rate, I will post a "last updated" note at the top of the article, or an "update in progress" note if it's while I'm doing it. If there is no such note, that means it's my first pass at the rankings for this current week.
By all means, if you want to discuss a rank, or want me to add a player, chime in on the comments. I try to be receptive to your feedback and try to respond to most comments, though on occasion the volume can be quite thick. Please refer to the rankings first when asking "should

Quarterback
| 1. | *Cam Newton CAR vs. TB Note: (Shoulder) Full practice participant Friday. |
| 2. | *Russell Wilson SEA at Dal Note: Came up small at the worst possible moment - though much of that can be blamed on his line, as he was sacked seven times on the day. |
| 3. | Tom Brady NE vs. Buf |
| 4. | Jared Goff LA at Ten |
| 5. | Case Keenum MIN at GB |
| 6. | Matthew Stafford DET at Cin |
| 7. | *Ben Roethlisberger PIT at Hou Note: Has a great matchup against the Texans, but obviously not having Antonio Brown will hurt quite a bit. |
| 8. | Dak Prescott DAL vs. Sea |
| 9. | Philip Rivers LAC at NYJ Note: Rivers's three interceptions Saturday all came within a four-turnover streak in the second half against the Chiefs to close out the game. |
| 10. | Jameis Winston TB at Car |
| 11. | Drew Brees NO vs. Atl |
| 12. | *Nick Foles PHI vs. Oak Note: The Eagles could be locked in to the No. 1 seed in the NFC before they play Monday night, though it would require the Vikings to lose to the Packers. If that were to happen, Nate Sudfield could either start or at least sub-in relatively early for Foles. |
| 13. | Blake Bortles JAC at SF |
| 14. | Tyrod Taylor BUF at NE |
| 15. | Alex Smith KC vs. Mia |

| 26. | *T.J. Yates HOU vs. Pit Note: Expected to be the starter over the last two weeks. |
| 27. | *DeShone Kizer CLE at Chi Note: Hue Jackson contemplated using Cody Kessler instead of Kizer, but Kizer will remain the starter this week. |
| 28. | *Bryce Petty NYJ vs. LAC Note: Will start again this week - it doesn't appear that Christian Hackenburg is in the Jets' plans. |
| 29. | *Brock Osweiler DEN at Was Note: Not guaranteed to start despite the good game he had against the Colts last week. Coach Vance Joseph hasn't yet named a starter for this week. ***Expected to get the nod as the starter, though the announcement won't come from the team until after inactives are announced. |

| 31. | *Drew Stanton ARZ vs. NYG Note: Named the starter ahead of Blaine Gabbert. |

| 33. | *Paxton Lynch DEN at Was Note: (Ankle) The Broncos would like Lynch to get more game-action over the final two games, but it's not clear yet whether he'll be available to play this week. Full practice Friday, listed as questionable. Coach Vance Joseph hasn't named a starter yet for this week, but noted that Lynch is at about 90 percent. |
| 34. | *Blaine Gabbert ARZ vs. NYG Note: Benched in favor of Drew Stanton. |
| 35. | *Tom Savage HOU vs. Pit Note: (Concussion) Unlikely to play the last two games. Headed to the IR. |
