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 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 overnight 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.

Quarterbacks
| 1. | *Josh Allen BUF vs. NE Note: Allen took a hit to the knee area in the fourth quarter. Afterwards, coach Joe Brady downplayed the possibility of an injury. Allen was not listed on the Wednesday injury report. |
| 2. | *Lamar Jackson BAL vs. TEN Note: Jackson (back) missed the beginning of Wednesday's practice, but fully practiced Thursday. |
| 3. | *Brock Purdy SF vs. DEN Note: Purdy's incredible day against the Cardinals could have been even better, as he had a 45-yard touchdown run nullified by a penalty downfield. |
| 4. | Patrick Mahomes KC at LV |
| 5. | Trevor Lawrence JAC at CIN |
| 6. | Jared Goff DET at CAR |
| 7. | Dak Prescott DAL at HOU |
| 8. | Matthew Stafford LA at PHI |
| 9. | Joe Burrow CIN vs. JAX |
| 10. | *Tyler Shough NO vs. ATL Note: Shough is up to six turnovers on the season, after losing the ball thrice (one INT, two fumbles) in the loss to the Raiders. |
| 11. | *Bo Nix DEN at SF Note: For the second week in a row, Nix had a big second half after a terrible first half. The Broncos are running back the 2025 season! |
| 12. | Jordan Love GB at TB |
| 13. | *Drake Maye NE at BUF Note: Maye's season keeps getting worse. Will he bounce back against his first semi-lesser defense since the playoffs last year? Maye is listed on the injury report with a shoulder issue, but fully practiced. ***Full participant in Friday's practice and is off the injury list.*** |
| 14. | *Sam Darnold SEA vs. LAC Note: Darnold's huge fantasy day was tainted by two interceptions, including a pick-six that provided the winning margin for the Commanders. |
| 15. | Michael Penix ATL at NO |
| 16. | Jacoby Brissett ARZ at NYG |
| 17. | *Jalen Hurts PHI vs. LAR Note: Hurts had a rushing touchdown before the half, somewhat salvaging an otherwise very underwhelming game against the Bears. The lost goal line sequence when he was getting evaluated for a concussion certainly didn't help. Now it looks like he won't have Devonta Smith (hamstring) this week. ***RT Lane Johnson in inactive due to personal reasons, meaning that the Eagles will have their third-string tackle starting in front of Hurts.*** |
| 18. | *C.J. Stroud HOU vs. DAL Note: If Stroud gets Nico Collins (hamstring) back this week, he can probably take advantage of a pretty sweet matchup against the Cowboys. |
| 19. | Kyler Murray MIN vs. MIA |
| 20. | *Kirk Cousins LV vs. KC Note: With the 3-0 start, the Raiders could be staying with Cousins over Fernando Mendoza for a while. |
| 21. | *Bryce Young CAR vs. DET Note: Young (knee) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday. He is missing two OL, and might be missing Jalen Coker. |
| 22. | *Geno Smith NYJ at CHI Note: Smith piled on 321 passing yards for three touchdowns in the loss to the Lions. He serves as a reminder that you need to stream against the Lions. |
| 23. | *Justin Herbert LAC at SEA Note: As if it couldn't get worse for Herbert, Ladd McConkey (foot) did not practice Thursday. |
| 24. | Malik Willis MIA at MIN |
| 25. | *Marcus Mariota WAS vs. IND Note: ***Mariota will get another start Sunday in London.*** |
| 26. | *Tyson Bagent CHI vs. NYJ Note: ***Bagent took most of the first-team reps in practice this week and will start against the Jets.*** |
| 27. | Daniel Jones IND at WAS |
| 28. | Aaron Rodgers PIT at CLE |
| 29. | Cam Ward TEN at BAL |
| 30. | *Jameis Winston NYG vs. ARI Note: Winston will retain the starting job, but he was pretty underwhelming in the win over the Titans. J.J. McCarthy was added to the roster for a fifth round pick this week. |
| 31. | *Deshaun Watson CLE vs. PIT Note: Watson was able to make plays with his legs, running for 45 yards in the win over the Panthers. He'll find the sledding tougher against the Steelers, more so because his center Elgton Jenkins (concussion) is unlikely to play Thursday against the Steelers. |
| 32. | *Jalon Daniels TB vs. GB Note: Daniels, an undrafted rookie out of Kansas, will be the starter while Baker Mayfield is out. The Bucs don't have another back on the active roster, but Easton Stick and Brett Rypien are on the practice squad. |
| 33. | *Case Keenum CHI vs. NYJ Note: Keenum performed brilliantly on Monday night, and Ben Johnson's play-calling was a tour-de-force. Will he or Tyson Bagent start this week against the Jets? ***Keenum will be the backup this week behind Tyson Bagent.*** |
| 34. | *Caleb Williams CHI vs. NYJ Note: Williams (hamstring) hasn't started practicing yet. ***Ruled out again this week.*** |
| 35. | *Jayden Daniels WAS vs. IND Note: Daniels (elbow) will need surgery after the season. But he'll also travel with the team to London this week and practice in some capacity. Daniels has participated in two limited practices so far this week. ***Daniels has been ruled out for another week.*** |
| 36. | *Baker Mayfield TB vs. GB Note: Mayfield (thumb) will be out for a minimum of three weeks. The good news was that there was no ligament damage. ***Mayfield's absence could last anywhere from 3-to-6 weeks.*** |
Running Backs
| 1. | Jahmyr Gibbs DET at CAR |
| 2. | Bijan Robinson ATL at NO |
| 3. | *Derrick Henry BAL vs. TEN Note: Henry had an excellent fantasy day, but it's a little troubling that he was twice stuffed on fourth down, once at the goal line. The Ravens' interior OL is struggling, especially at center. |
| 4. | Christian McCaffrey SF vs. DEN |
| 5. | Kenneth Walker KC at LV |
| 6. | *James Cook BUF vs. NE Note: Cook overcame losing an early fumble to run for 154 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Chargers. |
| 7. | Jonathan Taylor IND at WAS |
| 8. | Ashton Jeanty LV vs. KC |
| 9. | *D'Andre Swift CHI vs. NYJ Note: Swift (knee) sat out practice Thursday after not being listed on the injury report on Wednesday. ***Swift fully practiced Friday and was cleared from the injury report.*** |
| 10. | *Jeremiyah Love ARZ at NYG Note: Love took over the workload for the Cardinals on Sunday, with 21 carries and five receptions. |
| 11. | Javonte Williams DAL at HOU |
| 12. | Kyren Williams LA at PHI |
| 13. | *Bhayshul Tuten JAC at CIN Note: Trevor Lawrence to Tuten - 'When you speak of me, speak well...' |
| 14. | *Jaylen Warren PIT at CLE Note: Warren dominated against the Bengals, rushing for 127 yards and catching three passes for 49 yards. Rico Dowdle has been ruled out again. |
| 15. | *Saquon Barkley PHI vs. LAR Note: ***Barkley won't have star RT Lane Johnson (personal reasons) Sunday, meaning that the Eagles will be starting a third-string RT.*** |
| 16. | Omarion Hampton LAC at SEA |
| 17. | Chase Brown CIN vs. JAX |
| 18. | Cam Skattebo NYG vs. ARI |
| 19. | Chuba Hubbard CAR vs. DET |
| 20. | *Bucky Irving TB vs. GB Note: Irving missed the final two series in the Bucs' loss to the Vikings, but coach Todd Bowles afterwards said that Irving will not be on the injury report this week. Irving (glute) has been limited in practice for the first two days this week. So much for not being on the injury report. ***Irving fully practiced Friday and was cleared from the injury report.*** |
| 21. | Quinshon Judkins CLE vs. PIT |
| 22. | *David Montgomery HOU vs. DAL Note: Montgomery struggled again against the Colts, and this time ceded a goal line carry to Woody Marks, who converted the touchdown. |
| 23. | J.K. Dobbins DEN at SF |
| 24. | Aaron Jones MIN vs. MIA |
| 25. | *Braelon Allen NYJ at CHI Note: Allen is in line for a starting role while Breece Hall (hip) is out. Hall is week-to-week. |
| 26. | *Jacory Croskey-Merritt WAS vs. IND Note: Croskey-Merritt had just 36 yards on 19 carries, though it's worth noting that a long touchdown run was overturned by a penalty. Teammate Rachaad White (shoulder) has missed the first two practices of the week. ***White has been ruled out, which could increase Croskey-Merritt's workload, though perhaps either Kaytron Allen or Austin Ekeler will be the pass-catching back.*** |
| 27. | TreVeyon Henderson NE at BUF |
| 28. | *Tony Pollard TEN at BAL Note: Pollard (foot) sat out Wednesday's practice but fully practiced Thursday. |
| 29. | *Emanuel Wilson SEA vs. LAC Note: Wilson could get a spike in playing time with Jadarian Price (chest) sitting out practice Thursday, and George Holani (ribs) limited. ***Holani was cleared from the injury, so he and Wilson will share the backfield workload with Jadarian Price (chest) on IR.*** |
| 30. | *Rhamondre Stevenson NE at BUF Note: We're back to Stevenson getting more snaps than Henderson, with limited returns for both. |
| 31. | *Blake Corum LA at PHI Note: Teammate Kyren Williams dominated the workload on Sunday night, and justifiably as he was rolling. |
| 32. | *Alvin Kamara NO vs. ATL Note: Kamara was the primary backup to Travis Etienne prior to Etienne's injury, but split the carries 6-to-5 with Kendre Miller after the injury. Etienne is out at least four weeks. |
| 33. | Kyle Monangai CHI vs. NYJ |
| 34. | *Kenny Gainwell TB vs. GB Note: Teammate Bucky Irving has been limited in practice for the first two practices this week. |
| 35. | *Ollie Gordon MIA at MIN Note: Gordon is the only fully healthy running back on the Dolphins' active roster, with De'Von Achane on IR with a torn ACL and Jaylen Wright (foot, stinger) day-to-day. Jarquez Hunter and Carlos Washington Jr. are on the practice squad. |
| 36. | *RJ Harvey DEN at SF Note: Harvey was briefly evaluated for a concussion on Sunday night but later returned. |
| 37. | Brian Robinson ATL at NO |
| 38. | Emmett Johnson KC at LV |
| 39. | *Jaylen Wright MIA at MIN Note: Wright remains day-to-day with a stinger and a foot injury after missing Week 3's loss to the Chiefs. Wright was a full participant in Thursday's practice. |
| 40. | *Kendre Miller NO vs. ATL Note: Miller is back under consideration with Travis Etienne (hamstring) out at least four weeks. |
| 41. | *Tyler Allgeier ARZ at NYG Note: Allgeier took a back seat to Jeremiyah Love, carrying the ball twice while catching four passes. |
| 42. | *Mike Washington LV vs. KC Note: Washington played only 11 snaps, but one of those was a 36-yard touchdown scamper. |
| 43. | Woody Marks HOU vs. DAL |
| 44. | *George Holani SEA vs. LAC Note: Holani (ribs) has been limited in the first two practices of the week. ***Holani has been cleared to play and will share the duties with Emanuel Wilson, with Jadarian Price (chest) placed on IR.*** |
| 45. | Kaelon Black SF vs. DEN |
| 46. | Kaleb Johnson GB at TB |
| 47. | *Tank Bigsby PHI vs. LAR Note: Bigsby lost a fumble early on in the loss to the Bears and seemingly was buried after that. |
| 48. | *Keaton Mitchell LAC at SEA Note: Mitchell (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice. ***Mitchell fully practiced Friday and was cleared from the injury report.*** |
| 49. | MarShawn Lloyd GB at TB |
| 50. | Justice Hill BAL vs. TEN |
| 51. | Chris Rodriguez JAC at CIN |
| 52. | *Tyjae Spears TEN at BAL Note: Spears (ankle) was limited to just three touches in Sunday's loss to the Giants. Spears (ankle) sat out Wednesday and was limited Thursday. ***Spears fully practiced Friday and has been cleared from the injury report.*** |
| 53. | Samaje Perine CIN vs. JAX |
| 54. | *Isaiah Davis NYJ at CHI Note: Davis has been limited to special teams duty, but he might move up a chair while Breece Hall (hip) is out. |
| 55. | Sione Vaki DET at CAR |
| 56. | Chris Brooks GB at TB |
| 57. | Nicholas Singleton TEN at BAL |
| 58. | *Ray Davis BUF vs. NE Note: ***Davis (hamstring) is listed as questionable.*** |
| 59. | DeeJay Dallas MIN vs. MIA |
| 60. | AJ Dillon CAR vs. DET |
| 61. | *Will Shipley PHI vs. LAR Note: Shipley (foot) sat out Wednesday's practice. ***Full practice Friday, off the injury report.*** |
| 62. | Devin Singletary NYG vs. ARI |
| 63. | Demond Claiborne MIN vs. MIA |
| 64. | Kimani Vidal LAC at SEA |
| 65. | Raheim Sanders CLE vs. PIT |
| 66. | Emari Demercado DAL at HOU |
| 67. | *LeQuint Allen JAC at CIN Note: Allen (hip) was limited on Thursday. ***Cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 68. | Seth McGowan IND at WAS |
| 69. | Roschon Johnson CHI vs. NYJ |
| 70. | *Rachaad White WAS vs. IND Note: White briefly left to get his shoulder checked out but later returned. White (shoulder) has missed the first two practices this week. ***White missed practice all week and has been ruled out.*** |
| 71. | *Breece Hall NYJ at CHI Note: Hall (thigh) is week-to-week, and an MRI revealed that the injury wasn't as serious as initially feared. Hall's injury is being classified as a quad injury. He is not practicing this week. ***Officially ruled out for this week.*** |
| 72. | *Rico Dowdle PIT at CLE Note: Dowdle (toe) sat out the win over the Bengals and while present at Tuesday's practice, he did not participate. Ruled out again this week. |
| 73. | *Zach Charbonnet SEA vs. LAC Note: The Seahawks opened Charbonnet's (knee) practice window Thursday. They have 21 days before they have to activate him, but can do so as early as next week. |
| 74. | *Jadarian Price SEA vs. LAC Note: Price lost a fumble for the second week in a row and was sparsely used afterwards. Price (chest) was limited Wednesday, but then didn't practice at all Thursday. ***Price was placed on IR due to his chest injury. When he ultimately returns, chances are he'll also have to compete with Zach Charbonnet for playing time.*** |
| 75. | *Travis Etienne NO vs. ATL Note: Etienne will miss time due to the hamstring injury suffered in the Saints' loss to the Raiders. Etienne has been placed on IR, meaning he'll be out for at least four games. |
| 76. | *De'Von Achane MIA at MIN Note: Achane suffered a torn ACL early in the loss to the Chiefs and is out for the season. |
Wide Receivers
| 1. | Jaxon Smith-Njigba SEA vs. LAC |
| 2. | Ja'Marr Chase CIN vs. JAX |
| 3. | Amon-Ra St. Brown DET at CAR |
| 4. | Chris Olave NO vs. ATL |
| 5. | *Drake London ATL at NO Note: Michael Penix came back just in time for London's fantasy managers. |
| 6. | Christian Watson GB at TB |
| 7. | CeeDee Lamb DAL at HOU |
| 8. | Parker Washington JAC at CIN |
| 9. | *Puka Nacua LA at PHI Note: The Rams are 'hopeful' that Nacua (hip/groin) can return in Week 4. I'll move him up once he practices. Puka was a limited participant Wednesday but was expected to fully practice Thursday. ***Nacua isn't expected to have any limitations on his workload upon his return.*** |
| 10. | *Zay Flowers BAL vs. TEN Note: Flowers played only 21 snaps, but that was good enough to log five catches for 84 yards. He's expected to have a full workload in Week 4. Flowers was limited Wednesday but fully practiced Thursday. ***Flowers was limited again on Friday and is listed as questionable, though his limitations on Friday were characterized as precautionary.*** |
| 11. | Garrett Wilson NYJ at CHI |
| 12. | Davante Adams LA at PHI |
| 13. | Tee Higgins CIN vs. JAX |
| 14. | George Pickens DAL at HOU |
| 15. | *Rashee Rice KC at LV Note: Rice caught seven of his nine targets for 88 yards in the win over Miami. |
| 16. | *Nico Collins HOU vs. DAL Note: The Texans are hopeful that Collins (ankle) can return for Week 4. It's pretty much do-or-die for the Texans against the Cowboys, who are also desperate. Collins has had two limited practices so far. I'm going to rank him under the assumption that he's playing. ***Collins has officially been cleared to play.*** |
| 17. | *Josh Downs IND at WAS Note: ***Downs and Tyler Warren should receive a heavy target volume due to the absences of Alec Pierce and Keenan Allen.*** |
| 18. | Tetairoa McMillan CAR vs. DET |
| 19. | *Jaylen Waddle DEN at SF Note: Waddle was spotted with a walking boot on his right foot Sunday night, but later reports suggested he was fine. Waddle fully practiced Wednesday. |
| 20. | *Michael Wilson ARZ at NYG Note: Wilson had a whopping 17 targets in the loss to the Niners. |
| 21. | Matthew Golden GB at TB |
| 22. | Stefon Diggs WAS vs. IND |
| 23. | *Jameson Williams DET at CAR Note: Both of Carolina's starting CBs are out this week. |
| 24. | *DJ Moore BUF vs. NE Note: Moore (shoulder) has been limited over the first two days of practice, but he's in line to play Sunday against the Pats. ***Moore was limited again Friday, but also has been cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 25. | Luther Burden CHI vs. NYJ |
| 26. | Malik Nabers NYG vs. ARI |
| 27. | *Jordan Addison MIN vs. MIA Note: Teammate Justin Jefferson (ankle) has missed the first two practices of the week. ***Jefferson has been ruled out.*** |
| 28. | DK Metcalf PIT at CLE |
| 29. | Emeka Egbuka TB vs. GB |
| 30. | Denzel Boston CLE vs. PIT |
| 31. | *Jakobi Meyers JAC at CIN Note: Meyers (thumb) has been limited in practice again this week. As the Bengals shift their coverage around to account for Parker Washington in the slot, this might be a really good week for Meyers. ***Meyers (thumb) was cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 32. | *Kalif Raymond CHI vs. NYJ Note: Raymond had six catches for 90 yards in the Monday night win. It apparently doesn't matter which QB is on the field for the Bears. |
| 33. | Deebo Samuel SF vs. DEN |
| 34. | *Ladd McConkey LAC at SEA Note: McConkey popped on the injury report with a foot injury (his previous injury was a rib injury). He was limited Wednesday and then sat out Thursday's practice. ***McConkey was limited again on Friday and is listed as questionable. Ian Rapoport suggests that McConkey is likely to play.*** |
| 35. | Courtland Sutton DEN at SF |
| 36. | Wan'Dale Robinson TEN at BAL |
| 37. | Rome Odunze CHI vs. NYJ |
| 38. | *Malik Washington MIA at MIN Note: Washington had 10 targets and two carries in the loss to the Chiefs. |
| 39. | *Dontayvion Wicks PHI vs. LAR Note: I moved Wicks up five spots with Devonta Smith (hamstring) expected to miss the game. |
| 40. | *Mike Evans SF vs. DEN Note: Evans (ribs) is day-to-day - when he left the game it appeared a lot more serious. Evans sat out Wednesday and worked on a side field Thursday. ***Evans managed just one limited practice on Friday, and will be a game-time decision. Evans said 'he'll do his best to be out there....'*** |
| 41. | Devaughn Vele NO vs. ATL |
| 42. | Carnell Tate TEN at BAL |
| 43. | *Chris Godwin TB vs. GB Note: Godwin was limited to three catches again in the loss to the Vikings, though he had a long touchdown reception voided by penalty. Godwin (ankle) practiced Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. |
| 44. | *Antonio Williams WAS vs. IND Note: ***I bumped up Williams in light of injuries to Terry McLaurin (hamstring) and Rachaad White (shoulder).*** |
| 45. | Rashod Bateman BAL vs. TEN |
| 46. | Tre' Harris LAC at SEA |
| 47. | *Brian Thomas JAC at CIN Note: Thomas had just one target and 21 snaps in the win over the Pats. |
| 48. | Xavier Worthy KC at LV |
| 49. | Tre Tucker LV vs. KC |
| 50. | Quentin Johnston LAC at SEA |
| 51. | KC Concepcion CLE vs. PIT |
| 52. | *Makai Lemon PHI vs. LAR Note: There's now more urgency for the Eagles to get Lemon involved in the downfield passing game. |
| 53. | Romeo Doubs NE at BUF |
| 54. | Michael Pittman PIT at CLE |
| 55. | *Keon Coleman BUF vs. NE Note: Coleman (ankle) was a limited participant Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. ***Coleman has been cleared from the injury report.*** |
| 56. | Ted Hurst TB vs. GB |
| 57. | Mack Hollins NE at BUF |
| 58. | Roman Wilson PIT at CLE |
| 59. | *Laquon Treadwell IND at WAS Note: ***Teammate Keenan Allen (groin) has been ruled out.*** |
| 60. | Ryan Flournoy DAL at HOU |
| 61. | Khalil Shakir BUF vs. NE |
| 62. | Kayshon Boutte HOU vs. DAL |
| 63. | Cooper Kupp SEA vs. LAC |
| 64. | *Marvin Harrison ARZ at NYG Note: That we're discussing Harrison's three-catch, 40-yard game as progress speaks volumes. |
| 65. | *Chris Bell MIA at MIN Note: With Caleb Douglas out, Bell had seven targets, catching four for 67 yards against the Chiefs. Bell (knee) has been limited in practice again this week, and that might be the case for the foreseeable future. ***Bell has been cleared from the injury list*** |
| 66. | *Jauan Jennings MIN vs. MIA Note: Jennings could get more snaps and targets this week with Justin Jefferson nursing an ankle injury. |
| 67. | Rashid Shaheed SEA vs. LAC |
| 68. | Jaylin Noel HOU vs. DAL |
| 69. | *Brycen Tremayne CAR vs. DET Note: ***Jalen Coker (quad) seems unlikely to play and Xavier Legette (knee) has been placed on IR.*** |
| 70. | Jalen Nailor LV vs. KC |
| 71. | Tyquan Thornton KC at LV |
| 72. | Pat Bryant DEN at SF |
| 73. | Joshua Palmer BUF vs. NE |
| 74. | Kendrick Bourne ARZ at NYG |
| 75. | Xavier Hutchinson HOU vs. DAL |
| 76. | Konata Mumpfield LA at PHI |
| 77. | John Metchie CAR vs. DET |
| 78. | *Chris Moore BAL vs. TEN Note: Moore (ankle) has been limited in practice this week. |
| 79. | Malachi Fields NYG vs. ARI |
| 80. | Ashton Dulin IND at WAS |
| 81. | Darnell Mooney NYG vs. ARI |
| 82. | Brandin Cooks SF vs. DEN |
| 83. | Elic Ayomanor TEN at BAL |
| 84. | Olamide Zaccheaus ATL at NO |
| 85. | Zachariah Branch ATL at NO |
| 86. | *Jalen Coker CAR vs. DET Note: Coker left the Week 3 loss to the Browns with a minor quad strain, and he's day-to-day. Coker sat out Wednesday's practice and was limited on Thursday, working off to the side. ***Coker is unlikely to play, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Remember, the Panthers play on Sunday night.*** |
| 87. | *Terry McLaurin WAS vs. IND Note: ***McLaurin injured his hamstring in Friday's practice and isn't expected to play in the London game, though he's officially listed as questionable.*** INACTIVE.*** |
| 88. | *Justin Jefferson MIN vs. MIA Note: Jefferson (ankle) is day-to-day after leaving Sunday's win over the Bucs. Jefferson has sat out the first two practices of the week. ***Jefferson has been ruled out for this week but hopes to return in Week 5.*** |
| 89. | *DeVonta Smith PHI vs. LAR Note: Smith missed some practice time with a hamstring injury last week yet still played Monday night, but he has now missed two practices this week. According to Tim McManus, it's unlikely that Smith will play this week. ***Smith has officially been ruled out and might miss multiple weeks.*** |
| 90. | *Keenan Allen IND at WAS Note: Allen had six catches on nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Texans. Allen (groin) was limited both Wednesday and Thursday. ***Allen has been ruled out for Sunday morning in London.*** |
| 91. | *Caleb Douglas MIA at MIN Note: Douglas (ankle) is day-to-day after missing Week 3. Douglas has missed the first two practices of the week. ***Douglas has been ruled again this week.*** |
| 92. | *Adonai Mitchell NYJ at CHI Note: Mitchell (finger) has not yet practiced this week. ***Mitchell has been ruled out again this week.*** |
| 93. | *Jayden Reed GB at TB Note: Reed (neck) still doesn't have a timetable for his return. Reed needs surgery for his neck and is out for the season. |
Tight Ends
| 1. | Brock Bowers LV vs. KC |
| 2. | Trey McBride ARZ at NYG |
| 3. | Tyler Warren IND at WAS |

| 9. | Juwan Johnson NO vs. ATL |

| 12. | Dalton Schultz HOU vs. DAL |
| 13. | Colston Loveland CHI vs. NYJ |
| 14. | Tucker Kraft GB at TB |
| 15. | Jake Ferguson DAL at HOU |
| 16. | Darren Waller CAR vs. DET |
| 17. | *Tyler Higbee LA at PHI Note: Higbee led the Rams tight ends in snaps on Sunday night and should have another big role with Terrance Ferguson (ankle) likely sidelined this week. Both Ferguson (ankle) and Colby Parkinson (knee/shoulder) haven't practiced yet this week. |
| 18. | *Mark Andrews BAL vs. TEN Note: Andrews missed some time due to a hand injury but later returned. |
| 19. | *Kenyon Sadiq NYJ at CHI Note: Sadiq had his first touchdown reception (his other TD was a running play) and 105 yards in the loss to the Lions. Sadiq has had two limited practices so far this week. Teammate Mason Taylor (thumb) still isn't practicing. ***Sadiq has been limited all week and is listed as questionable.*** |
| 20. | *Oronde Gadsden LAC at SEA Note: Gadsden failed to come down with any of his three targets. |
| 21. | *Chig Okonkwo WAS vs. IND Note: Okonkwo (hamstring) will travel with the Commanders to London this week and will practice. Okonkwo has had two limited practices so far this week. ***Okonkwo has been cleared to play.*** |
| 22. | Kyle Pitts ATL at NO |
| 23. | Pat Freiermuth PIT at CLE |
| 24. | Mike Gesicki CIN vs. JAX |
| 25. | *T.J. Hockenson MIN vs. MIA Note: Hockenson's teammate Josh Oliver was placed on IR with a biceps injury, which might force Hockenson to stay in and block more often. |
| 26. | Hunter Henry NE at BUF |
| 27. | Michael Mayer LV vs. KC |
| 28. | *Noah Fant NO vs. ATL Note: Fant scored twice last week, but is dealing with an abdominal issue and was limited in Thursday's practice. ***Fant was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable.*** |
| 29. | Evan Engram DEN at SF |
| 30. | Darnell Washington PIT at CLE |
| 31. | Gunnar Helm TEN at BAL |
| 32. | AJ Barner SEA vs. LAC |
| 33. | Cade Otton TB vs. GB |
| 34. | Greg Dulcich MIA at MIN |
| 35. | *Terrance Ferguson LA at PHI Note: Ferguson left Sunday night's game early with an ankle injury and is unlikely to play this week against the Eagles. ***Ferguson was placed on IR by the Rams.*** |
| 36. | *Mason Taylor NYJ at CHI Note: Taylor (thumb) sat out last week and hasn't returned to practice yet this week. |
| 37. | *Dallas Goedert PHI vs. LAR Note: Goedert (knee) hasn't practiced yet this week. ***Goedert has been ruled out.*** |
Flex (RB/WR/TE)
| 1. | Jahmyr Gibbs DET at CAR |
| 2. | Bijan Robinson ATL at NO |
| 3. | Jaxon Smith-Njigba SEA vs. LAC |
| 4. | Ja'Marr Chase CIN vs. JAX |
| 5. | Amon-Ra St. Brown DET at CAR |
| 6. | *Derrick Henry BAL vs. TEN Note: Henry had an excellent fantasy day, but it's a little troubling that he was twice stuffed on fourth down, once at the goal line. The Ravens' interior OL is struggling, especially at center. |
| 7. | Christian McCaffrey SF vs. DEN |
| 8. | Kenneth Walker KC at LV |
| 9. | *James Cook BUF vs. NE Note: Cook overcame losing an early fumble to run for 154 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Chargers. |
| 10. | Jonathan Taylor IND at WAS |
| 11. | Chris Olave NO vs. ATL |
| 12. | *Drake London ATL at NO Note: Michael Penix came back just in time for London's fantasy managers. |
| 13. | Christian Watson GB at TB |
| 14. | Brock Bowers LV vs. KC |
| 15. | Trey McBride ARZ at NYG |
| 16. | CeeDee Lamb DAL at HOU |
| 17. | Davante Adams LA at PHI |
| 18. | Parker Washington JAC at CIN |
| 19. | Ashton Jeanty LV vs. KC |
| 20. | *D'Andre Swift CHI vs. NYJ Note: Swift (knee) sat out practice Thursday after not being listed on the injury report on Wednesday. ***Swift fully practiced Friday and was cleared from the injury report.*** |
| 21. | *Jeremiyah Love ARZ at NYG Note: Love took over the workload for the Cardinals on Sunday, with 21 carries and five receptions. |
| 22. | *Zay Flowers BAL vs. TEN Note: Flowers played only 21 snaps, but that was good enough to log five catches for 84 yards. He's expected to have a full workload in Week 4. Flowers was limited Wednesday but fully practiced Thursday. ***Flowers was limited again on Friday and is listed as questionable, though his limitations on Friday were characterized as precautionary.*** |
| 23. | Garrett Wilson NYJ at CHI |
| 24. | Tee Higgins CIN vs. JAX |
| 25. | Javonte Williams DAL at HOU |
| 26. | Kyren Williams LA at PHI |
| 27. | George Pickens DAL at HOU |
| 28. | *Rashee Rice KC at LV Note: Rice caught seven of his nine targets for 88 yards in the win over Miami. |
| 29. | *Josh Downs IND at WAS Note: ***Downs and Tyler Warren should receive a heavy target volume due to the absences of Alec Pierce and Keenan Allen.*** |
| 30. | Tetairoa McMillan CAR vs. DET |
| 31. | *Jaylen Warren PIT at CLE Note: Warren dominated against the Bengals, rushing for 127 yards and catching three passes for 49 yards. Rico Dowdle has been ruled out again. |
| 32. | *Bhayshul Tuten JAC at CIN Note: Trevor Lawrence to Tuten - 'When you speak of me, speak well...' |
| 33. | *Saquon Barkley PHI vs. LAR Note: ***Barkley won't have star RT Lane Johnson (personal reasons) Sunday, meaning that the Eagles will be starting a third-string RT.*** |
| 34. | Omarion Hampton LAC at SEA |
| 35. | Chase Brown CIN vs. JAX |
| 36. | Cam Skattebo NYG vs. ARI |
| 37. | Chuba Hubbard CAR vs. DET |
| 38. | *Bucky Irving TB vs. GB Note: Irving missed the final two series in the Bucs' loss to the Vikings, but coach Todd Bowles afterwards said that Irving will not be on the injury report this week. Irving (glute) has been limited in practice for the first two days this week. So much for not being on the injury report. ***Irving fully practiced Friday and was cleared from the injury report.*** |
| 39. | Tyler Warren IND at WAS |
| 40. | *Jaylen Waddle DEN at SF Note: Waddle was spotted with a walking boot on his right foot Sunday night, but later reports suggested he was fine. Waddle fully practiced Wednesday. |
| 41. | *Michael Wilson ARZ at NYG Note: Wilson had a whopping 17 targets in the loss to the Niners. |
| 42. | Matthew Golden GB at TB |
| 43. | Dalton Kincaid BUF vs. NE |
| 44. | *DJ Moore BUF vs. NE Note: Moore (shoulder) has been limited over the first two days of practice, but he's in line to play Sunday against the Pats. ***Moore was limited again Friday, but also has been cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 45. | Luther Burden CHI vs. NYJ |
| 46. | Malik Nabers NYG vs. ARI |
| 47. | Quinshon Judkins CLE vs. PIT |
| 48. | *David Montgomery HOU vs. DAL Note: Montgomery struggled again against the Colts, and this time ceded a goal line carry to Woody Marks, who converted the touchdown. |
| 49. | J.K. Dobbins DEN at SF |
| 50. | Stefon Diggs WAS vs. IND |
| 51. | *Ladd McConkey LAC at SEA Note: McConkey popped on the injury report with a foot injury (his previous injury was a rib injury). He was limited Wednesday and then sat out Thursday's practice. ***McConkey was limited again on Friday and is listed as questionable. Ian Rapoport suggests that McConkey is likely to play.*** |
| 52. | DK Metcalf PIT at CLE |
| 53. | Travis Kelce KC at LV |
| 54. | Aaron Jones MIN vs. MIA |
| 55. | TreVeyon Henderson NE at BUF |
| 56. | *Braelon Allen NYJ at CHI Note: Allen is in line for a starting role while Breece Hall (hip) is out. Hall is week-to-week. |
| 57. | *Jameson Williams DET at CAR Note: Both of Carolina's starting CBs are out this week. |
| 58. | Emeka Egbuka TB vs. GB |
| 59. | Denzel Boston CLE vs. PIT |
| 60. | George Kittle SF vs. DEN |
| 61. | Isaiah Likely NYG vs. ARI |
| 62. | Harold Fannin CLE vs. PIT |
| 63. | *Tony Pollard TEN at BAL Note: Pollard (foot) sat out Wednesday's practice but fully practiced Thursday. |
| 64. | *Rachaad White WAS vs. IND Note: White briefly left to get his shoulder checked out but later returned. White (shoulder) has missed the first two practices this week. ***White missed practice all week and has been ruled out.*** |
| 65. | *Rhamondre Stevenson NE at BUF Note: We're back to Stevenson getting more snaps than Henderson, with limited returns for both. |
| 66. | *Jordan Addison MIN vs. MIA Note: Teammate Justin Jefferson (ankle) has missed the first two practices of the week. ***Jefferson has been ruled out.*** |
| 67. | *Kalif Raymond CHI vs. NYJ Note: Raymond had six catches for 90 yards in the Monday night win. It apparently doesn't matter which QB is on the field for the Bears. |
| 68. | Courtland Sutton DEN at SF |
| 69. | Wan'Dale Robinson TEN at BAL |
| 70. | *Blake Corum LA at PHI Note: Teammate Kyren Williams dominated the workload on Sunday night, and justifiably as he was rolling. |
| 71. | *Ollie Gordon MIA at MIN Note: Gordon is the only fully healthy running back on the Dolphins' active roster, with De'Von Achane on IR with a torn ACL and Jaylen Wright (foot, stinger) day-to-day. Jarquez Hunter and Carlos Washington Jr. are on the practice squad. |
| 72. | Juwan Johnson NO vs. ATL |
| 73. | *Sam LaPorta DET at CAR Note: ***LaPorta and the Lions just broke off contract extension talks.*** |
| 74. | Rome Odunze CHI vs. NYJ |
| 75. | *Jacory Croskey-Merritt WAS vs. IND Note: Croskey-Merritt had just 36 yards on 19 carries, though it's worth noting that a long touchdown run was overturned by a penalty. Teammate Rachaad White (shoulder) has missed the first two practices of the week. ***White has been ruled out, which could increase Croskey-Merritt's workload, though perhaps either Kaytron Allen or Austin Ekeler will be the pass-catching back.*** |
| 76. | *Jadarian Price SEA vs. LAC Note: Price lost a fumble for the second week in a row and was sparsely used afterwards. Price (chest) was limited Wednesday, but then didn't practice at all Thursday. ***Price was placed on IR due to his chest injury. When he ultimately returns, chances are he'll also have to compete with Zach Charbonnet for playing time.*** |
| 77. | Kyle Monangai CHI vs. NYJ |
| 78. | Rashod Bateman BAL vs. TEN |
| 79. | *Malik Washington MIA at MIN Note: Washington had 10 targets and two carries in the loss to the Chiefs. |
| 80. | *Jakobi Meyers JAC at CIN Note: Meyers (thumb) has been limited in practice again this week. As the Bengals shift their coverage around to account for Parker Washington in the slot, this might be a really good week for Meyers. ***Meyers (thumb) was cleared from the injury list.*** |
| 81. | *Brenton Strange JAC at CIN Note: I really like Strange's matchup this week against the Bengals. |
| 82. | Dalton Schultz HOU vs. DAL |
| 83. | Colston Loveland CHI vs. NYJ |
| 84. | Tucker Kraft GB at TB |
| 85. | Jake Ferguson DAL at HOU |
| 86. | *Emanuel Wilson SEA vs. LAC Note: Wilson could get a spike in playing time with Jadarian Price (chest) sitting out practice Thursday, and George Holani (ribs) limited. ***Holani was cleared from the injury, so he and Wilson will share the backfield workload with Jadarian Price (chest) on IR.*** |
| 87. | *RJ Harvey DEN at SF Note: Harvey was briefly evaluated for a concussion on Sunday night but later returned. |
| 88. | *Alvin Kamara NO vs. ATL Note: Kamara was the primary backup to Travis Etienne prior to Etienne's injury, but split the carries 6-to-5 with Kendre Miller after the injury. Etienne is out at least four weeks. |
| 89. | Brian Robinson ATL at NO |
| 90. | Deebo Samuel SF vs. DEN |
| 91. | Devaughn Vele NO vs. ATL |
| 92. | Carnell Tate TEN at BAL |
| 93. | *Chris Godwin TB vs. GB Note: Godwin was limited to three catches again in the loss to the Vikings, though he had a long touchdown reception voided by penalty. Godwin (ankle) practiced Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. |
| 94. | *Dontayvion Wicks PHI vs. LAR Note: I moved Wicks up five spots with Devonta Smith (hamstring) expected to miss the game. |
| 95. | *Keenan Allen IND at WAS Note: Allen had six catches on nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Texans. Allen (groin) was limited both Wednesday and Thursday. ***Allen has been ruled out for Sunday morning in London.*** |
| 96. | Tre' Harris LAC at SEA |
| 97. | *Brian Thomas JAC at CIN Note: Thomas had just one target and 21 snaps in the win over the Pats. |
| 98. | Xavier Worthy KC at LV |
| 99. | Tre Tucker LV vs. KC |

| 3. | Cam Little JAC at CIN |
| 4. | Chase McLaughlin TB vs. GB |
| 5. | Will Reichard MIN vs. MIA |
| 6. | *Eddy Pineiro SF vs. DEN Note: Pineiro made a 57-yard field goal, but also missed two extra points. |
| 7. | Ka'imi Fairbairn HOU vs. DAL |
| 8. | Jason Myers SEA vs. LAC |
| 9. | Chris Boswell PIT at CLE |
| 10. | *Tyler Loop BAL vs. TEN Note: Loop went full circle, nailing a 56-yard game-winner in Rio. |
| 11. | Harrison Butker KC at LV |
| 12. | *Cameron Dicker LAC at SEA Note: The Chargers' malaise extended to Dicker, who missed a 45-yard attempt in the second quarter. |
| 13. | Jake Elliott PHI vs. LAR |
| 14. | *Spencer Shrader IND at WAS Note: Shrader made all four field goals despite injuring his groin in warmups. |
| 15. | *Dominic Zvada NYG vs. ARI Note: Zvada nailed four field goals in the rain on Sunday to account for all of the Giants' scoring in their win. |
| 16. | Jake Bates DET at CAR |
| 17. | Drew Stevens WAS vs. IND |
| 18. | Matt Gay LV vs. KC |
| 19. | Harrison Mevis LA at PHI |
| 20. | Cairo Santos CHI vs. NYJ |
| 21. | *Wil Lutz DEN at SF Note: Lutz missed a pedestrian 43-yard field goal and apparently was struggling in warmups before on Sunday night. |
| 22. | Ryan Fitzgerald CAR vs. DET |
| 23. | Trey Smack GB at TB |
| 24. | Andy Borregales NE at BUF |
| 25. | Tyler Bass BUF vs. NE |
