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

Quarterbacks
| 1. | Josh Allen BUF vs. NO |
| 2. | Lamar Jackson BAL at KC |
| 3. | *Jalen Hurts PHI at TB Note: Hurts and the Eagles rediscovered the wonders of the forward pass in a game that they were trailing 26-7; let's see if they turn to it as more than a last resort this week. |
| 4. | *Justin Herbert LAC at NYG Note: I never thought that I'd see a team coached by Jim Harbaugh and coordinated by Greg Roman have a game where the quarterback threw 47 passes, but Herbert is worthy of it. |
| 5. | *Baker Mayfield TB vs. PHI Note: Mayfield's stat line was modest, but he was superb on Sunday against the Jets, overcoming an offensive line that was missing three starters and committed five holding penalties on the first drive alone. He might be getting Tristan Wirfs back this week, but he also lost Mike Evans to a hamstring injury. |
| 6. | Jordan Love GB at DAL |
| 7. | Caleb Williams CHI at LV |
| 8. | *Dak Prescott DAL vs. GB Note: Prescott and the Cowboys will be without CeeDee Lamb (ankle) for 3-to-4 weeks, and his absence was noteworthy in Week 3 against the Bears. |
| 9. | Patrick Mahomes KC vs. BAL |
| 10. | *Jared Goff DET vs. CLE Note: Goff's stat line (202 passing yards, one touchdown) doesn't do justice to how well Goff played on Monday night. The Lions just happened to get the payoff of multiple drives on the ground. |
| 11. | *Daniel Jones IND at LAR Note: Jones connected on seven passes of at least 15 yards in the win over the Titans, once again averaging over nine yards per attempt. |
| 12. | Matthew Stafford LA vs. IND |
| 13. | Drake Maye NE vs. CAR |
| 14. | Geno Smith LV vs. CHI |
| 15. | Bo Nix DEN vs. CIN |
| 16. | Kyler Murray ARZ vs. SEA |
| 17. | *Marcus Mariota WAS at ATL Note: Mariota was a top-10 fantasy quarterback last week, thanks to 40 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown to go along with 207 passing yards and another touchdown. Jayden Daniels (knee) is day-to-day this week. |
| 18. | *Mac Jones SF vs. JAX Note: Jones aggravated a PCL strain in his left knee in the win over the Cardinals, and his mobility was clearly hampered in the second half of that game. Jones is day-to-day, and Brock Purdy will practice on Wednesday, so this might be it for Jones as a starter in the near-term. |
| 19. | Sam Darnold SEA at ARI |
| 20. | Trevor Lawrence JAC at SF |
| 21. | *Carson Wentz MIN at PIT Note: Wentz will get the start again this week with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) already ruled out, and potentially beyond this week. Remember, the Vikings will play the next two weeks in Europe before having a bye in Week 6. |
| 22. | *Michael Penix ATL vs. WAS Note: Mea culpa time - I was wrong about Penix last week, and even if had rated him 22nd or 26th, it still would have been too optimistic. Kirk Cousins replaced him late in the loss to Carolina, and the Falcons made some changes after the game, having their OC move down from the booth to the sideline, and firing their WR coach. |
| 23. | C.J. Stroud HOU vs. TEN |
| 24. | *Jake Browning CIN at DEN Note: This was an ugly outing, but at least Browning goes from the Vikings on the road, to .... ugh, the Broncos on the road. |
| 25. | Tua Tagovailoa MIA vs. NYJ |
| 26. | *Bryce Young CAR at NE Note: Young wasn't asked to do much in the win over the Falcons, instead benefitting from great field position, a defensive score, and Atlanta's general ineptitude. |
| 27. | *Jaxson Dart NYG vs. LAC Note: Dart will get the start this week against the Chargers. I'd look for the Giants to call more RPO's, something they were already doing for a couple of plays. |
| 28. | Joe Flacco CLE at DET |
| 29. | Aaron Rodgers PIT vs. MIN |
| 30. | *Cam Ward TEN at HOU Note: Ward's head coach Brian Callahan is going to step away from play-calling duties. |
| 31. | Tyrod Taylor NYJ at MIA |
| 32. | *Spencer Rattler NO at BUF Note: Rattler was replaced late in garbage time against the Seahawks by Tyler Shough. Rattler had been serviceable in home matchups over the first two weeks, but Week 3 was a reminder that his job security is very low. |
| 33. | *Jayden Daniels WAS at ATL Note: Daniels (knee) remains day-to-day, and his next injury update will come on Wednesday. |
| 34. | *Brock Purdy SF vs. JAX Note: Purdy (toe) will resume practicing Wednesday and might be able to return this week. Meanwhile, Mac Jones has a PCL sprain in his left knee and is day-to-day in his own right. |
| 35. | *Tyler Shough NO at BUF Note: Shough got a little bit of a run in garbage time against the Seahawks, and it serves as reminder that he'll probably get an extended look later this season. |
| 36. | Kirk Cousins ATL vs. WAS |
| 37. | *Russell Wilson NYG vs. LAC Note: It's only Week 4 and Wilson has already been benched for Jaxson Dart. |
| 38. | *Justin Fields NYJ at MIA Note: Jets coach Aaron Glenn said on Monday that he has no update on Fields (concussion). |
| 39. | *J.J. McCarthy MIN at PIT Note: McCarthy (ankle) won't play in Week 4 against the Steelers in Dublin. |
Running Backs
| 1. | Christian McCaffrey SF vs. JAX |
| 2. | Bijan Robinson ATL vs. WAS |
| 3. | *Derrick Henry BAL at KC Note: Henry now has fumbled in all three games this year. What's your level of concern with that, and his overall struggles the last two weeks? |
| 4. | James Cook BUF vs. NO |
| 5. | Jonathan Taylor IND at LAR |
| 6. | Jordan Mason MIN at PIT |
| 7. | Josh Jacobs GB at DAL |
| 8. | *Saquon Barkley PHI at TB Note: Barkley struggled against the Rams, and it probably won't be much easier against the Bucs, especially if Lane Johnson (neck) can't play. |
| 9. | Jahmyr Gibbs DET vs. CLE |
| 10. | Bucky Irving TB vs. PHI |
| 11. | Kyren Williams LA vs. IND |
| 12. | De'Von Achane MIA vs. NYJ |
| 13. | Chuba Hubbard CAR at NE |
| 14. | Kenneth Walker SEA at ARI |
| 15. | *Omarion Hampton LAC at NYG Note: Hampton is coming off of his best game and now will carry a much bigger workload, now that Najee Harris is out for the season. Hassan Haskins will be the backup. |
| 16. | Travis Etienne JAC at SF |
| 17. | J.K. Dobbins DEN vs. CIN |
| 18. | Quinshon Judkins CLE at DET |
| 19. | Alvin Kamara NO at BUF |
| 20. | Ashton Jeanty LV vs. CHI |
| 21. | Jaylen Warren PIT vs. MIN |
| 22. | David Montgomery DET vs. CLE |
| 23. | Javonte Williams DAL vs. GB |
| 24. | *Breece Hall NYJ at MIA Note: Hall failed to get untracked against the Bucs. Some of that has to be attributed to the matchup, but also the absence of Justin Fields really hurt Hall's chances at finding rushing lanes. |
| 25. | D'Andre Swift CHI at LV |
| 26. | *Rhamondre Stevenson NE vs. CAR Note: Just when we started to feel good about Stevenson, his fumble issues cropped up in a big way, with him losing fumbles twice in the loss to the Steelers. His only saving grace was that Antonio Gibson also fumbled, and TreVeyon Henderson couldn't get untracked while getting more work. |
| 27. | *Cam Skattebo NYG vs. LAC Note: Skattebo is already ascendant, and now Tyrone Tracy will be out 2-to-4 weeks with a dislocated shoulder. Devin Singletary will be the backup. |
| 28. | *Chase Brown CIN at DEN Note: Brown once again couldn't get untracked, and it doesn't get much easier this week at Denver. |
| 29. | Tony Pollard TEN at HOU |
| 30. | *Trey Benson ARZ vs. SEA Note: With James Conner (foot) out for the season, it's now Benson's turn to step in as the starting back, with Emeri Demercado as the backup. |
| 31. | TreVeyon Henderson NE vs. CAR |
| 32. | Nick Chubb HOU vs. TEN |
| 33. | *Chris Rodriguez WAS at ATL Note: Rodriguez went from being a healthy scratch the first two weeks to starting in Week 3 and leading the Commanders in carries - albeit with only 11 carries. |
| 34. | Kareem Hunt KC vs. BAL |
| 35. | Isiah Pacheco KC vs. BAL |
| 36. | Bhayshul Tuten JAC at SF |
| 37. | Ollie Gordon MIA vs. NYJ |
| 38. | Jacory Croskey-Merritt WAS at ATL |
| 39. | Tyler Allgeier ATL vs. WAS |
| 40. | *Blake Corum LA vs. IND Note: Corum had another strong game as a change-of-pace back, carrying eight times for 53 yards. |
| 41. | Rachaad White TB vs. PHI |
| 42. | Brian Robinson SF vs. JAX |
| 43. | Woody Marks HOU vs. TEN |
| 44. | Jeremy McNichols WAS at ATL |
| 45. | Rico Dowdle CAR at NE |
| 46. | Braelon Allen NYJ at MIA |
| 47. | Jerome Ford CLE at DET |
| 48. | Miles Sanders DAL vs. GB |
| 49. | *RJ Harvey DEN vs. CIN Note: Harvey was limited to five touches in the loss to the Chargers. It's possible that the game flow will work better for him this week with a home game against the Bengals. |
| 50. | Kenneth Gainwell PIT vs. MIN |
| 51. | *Kyle Monangai CHI at LV Note: Monangai was limited to 16 yards on six carries, but at least it's clear he's the top backup behind Swift. |
| 52. | Ray Davis BUF vs. NO |
| 53. | *Dylan Sampson CLE at DET Note: Sampson is clearly the third back for the Browns, getting just five offensive snaps. |
| 54. | *Devin Singletary NYG vs. LAC Note: Singletary will have a bigger role with Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) out. |
| 55. | Justice Hill BAL at KC |
| 56. | Kendre Miller NO at BUF |
| 57. | Ty Johnson BUF vs. NO |
| 58. | *Samaje Perine CIN at DEN Note: Perine suffered a thumb injury while fumbling during the Bengals' disastrous 2:00-drill, though it appears he avoided serious damage. |
| 59. | *Hassan Haskins LAC at NYG Note: Haskins steps into the Chargers' backup role now that Najee Harris is out for the season. |
| 60. | Julius Chestnut TEN at HOU |
| 61. | DJ Giddens IND at LAR |
| 62. | Tahj Brooks CIN at DEN |
| 63. | Zamir White LV vs. CHI |
| 64. | AJ Dillon PHI at TB |
| 65. | Chris Brooks GB at DAL |
| 66. | Emari Demercado ARZ vs. SEA |
| 67. | Emanuel Wilson GB at DAL |
| 68. | LeQuint Allen JAC at SF |
| 69. | Zavier Scott MIN at PIT |
| 70. | George Holani SEA at ARI |
| 71. | Isaiah Davis NYJ at MIA |
| 72. | Dare Ogunbowale HOU vs. TEN |
| 73. | Sean Tucker TB vs. PHI |
| 74. | Jaylen Wright MIA vs. NYJ |
| 75. | *Cam Akers at Note: Akers played seven offensive snaps in garbage time against the Bengals. By rule he reverted back to the practice squad on Monday, but he'll probably be activated again this week. |
| 76. | *Zach Charbonnet SEA at ARI Note: Charbonnet (foot) was listed as a full participant in Monday's estimated practice report after missing Sunday's game. |
| 77. | Will Shipley PHI at TB |
| 78. | *Tyrone Tracy NYG vs. LAC Note: Tracy is out for 2-to-4 weeks with a dislocated shoulder. |
| 79. | *Najee Harris LAC at NYG Note: Harris suffered a season-ending Achilles' injury on a non-contact play. |
| 80. | *James Conner ARZ vs. SEA Note: Conner (foot) is out for the season and has been placed on IR. |
Wide Receivers
| 1. | Puka Nacua LA vs. IND |
| 2. | Jaxon Smith-Njigba SEA at ARI |
| 3. | Amon-Ra St. Brown DET vs. CLE |
| 4. | *Malik Nabers NYG vs. LAC Note: Nabers briefly left Sunday night with a shoulder issue while breaking up a putative interception, but later returned. Now he has a new quarterback in Jaxson Dart throwing to him. |
| 5. | Justin Jefferson MIN at PIT |
| 6. | Nico Collins HOU vs. TEN |
| 7. | A.J. Brown PHI at TB |
| 8. | Ja'Marr Chase CIN at DEN |
| 9. | Garrett Wilson NYJ at MIA |
| 10. | Ladd McConkey LAC at NYG |
| 11. | Drake London ATL vs. WAS |
| 12. | Davante Adams LA vs. IND |
| 13. | *Brian Thomas JAC at SF Note: Thomas had two more drops in the win over the Texans, though he did come down with one critical long catch that led to the Jaguars' go-ahead touchdown. |
| 14. | Tyreek Hill MIA vs. NYJ |
| 15. | Keenan Allen LAC at NYG |
| 16. | Emeka Egbuka TB vs. PHI |
| 17. | Tetairoa McMillan CAR at NE |

| 19. | DK Metcalf PIT vs. MIN |
| 20. | Michael Pittman IND at LAR |
| 21. | Ricky Pearsall SF vs. JAX |
| 22. | Courtland Sutton DEN vs. CIN |
| 23. | Zay Flowers BAL at KC |
| 24. | Marvin Harrison ARZ vs. SEA |
| 25. | Deebo Samuel WAS at ATL |
| 26. | *George Pickens DAL vs. GB Note: Pickens steps into the primary role for the Cowboys with CeeDee Lamb out. |
| 27. | Jaylen Waddle MIA vs. NYJ |
| 28. | DeVonta Smith PHI at TB |
| 29. | Tee Higgins CIN at DEN |
| 30. | *DJ Moore CHI at LV Note: Moore is already getting overshadowed by Rome Odunze, but it's possible that Luther Burden could also cut into his target share going forward. |
| 31. | Keon Coleman BUF vs. NO |
| 32. | Hollywood Brown KC vs. BAL |
| 33. | Jakobi Meyers LV vs. CHI |
| 34. | *Jameson Williams DET vs. CLE Note: Williams caught two passes on the opening drive on Monday night, and none afterwards. |
| 35. | Khalil Shakir BUF vs. NO |
| 36. | Jerry Jeudy CLE at DET |
| 37. | Quentin Johnston LAC at NYG |
| 38. | Chris Olave NO at BUF |
| 39. | Romeo Doubs GB at DAL |
| 40. | *Calvin Ridley TEN at HOU Note: After rising up draft boards late in draft season, Ridley is *dropping* down the rankings now, with four drops in three games. |
| 41. | Wan'Dale Robinson NYG vs. LAC |
| 42. | Josh Downs IND at LAR |
| 43. | Calvin Austin PIT vs. MIN |
| 44. | Kayshon Boutte NE vs. CAR |
| 45. | Cedric Tillman CLE at DET |
| 46. | Darnell Mooney ATL vs. WAS |
| 47. | Rashid Shaheed NO at BUF |
| 48. | *Jordan Addison MIN at PIT Note: Addison is back from his three-game suspension this week. |
| 49. | Elic Ayomanor TEN at HOU |
| 50. | *Jalen Tolbert DAL vs. GB Note: Tolbert's role increases with CeeDee Lamb out, but it's a pretty tough matchup against the Packers. |
| 51. | *Tre Tucker LV vs. CHI Note: I know this seems low after what happened last week, but to be honest, I need to see it again. I think it was just one of those confluences of schemes and matchups that worked for Tucker, and not something sustainable. |
| 52. | *Travis Hunter JAC at SF Note: Hunter had just two targets in the win over Houston. |
| 53. | Cooper Kupp SEA at ARI |
| 54. | Troy Franklin DEN vs. CIN |
| 55. | Stefon Diggs NE vs. CAR |
| 56. | Matthew Golden GB at DAL |
| 57. | *Tyquan Thornton KC vs. BAL Note: Thornton came within a review of scoring last week, and has been increasingly involved with Xavier Worthy (shoulder) out. |
| 58. | Michael Wilson ARZ vs. SEA |
| 59. | Hunter Renfrow CAR at NE |
| 60. | Rashod Bateman BAL at KC |
| 61. | DeMario Douglas NE vs. CAR |
| 62. | Olamide Zaccheaus CHI at LV |
| 63. | JuJu Smith-Schuster KC vs. BAL |
| 64. | Ray-Ray McCloud ATL vs. WAS |
| 65. | Joshua Palmer BUF vs. NO |
| 66. | Christian Kirk HOU vs. TEN |
| 67. | Darius Slayton NYG vs. LAC |
| 68. | Adam Thielen MIN at PIT |
| 69. | Sterling Shepard TB vs. PHI |
| 70. | Dontayvion Wicks GB at DAL |
| 71. | Marvin Mims DEN vs. CIN |
| 72. | Jalen Nailor MIN at PIT |
| 73. | *Isaac TeSlaa DET vs. CLE Note: TeSlaa was limited to 14 snaps and two targets Monday night. |
| 74. | Jordan Whittington LA vs. IND |
| 75. | Luther Burden CHI at LV |
| 76. | DeAndre Hopkins BAL at KC |
| 77. | *Jayden Higgins HOU vs. TEN Note: Higgins still isn't getting much of a target volume, and the return of Christian Kirk doesn't help him. |
| 78. | Tory Horton SEA at ARI |
| 79. | *Parker Washington JAC at SF Note: Washington drew 11 targets in the win over the Texans, coming down with just four catches for 34 yards. With Dyami Brown (shoulder) banged up, that workload could continue this week. |
| 80. | Tyler Johnson NYJ at MIA |
| 81. | Adonai Mitchell IND at LAR |
| 82. | Tre' Harris LAC at NYG |
| 83. | Dont'e Thornton LV vs. CHI |

| 85. | Kendrick Bourne SF vs. JAX |
| 86. | KaVontae Turpin DAL vs. GB |
| 87. | Mack Hollins NE vs. CAR |
| 88. | Kalif Raymond DET vs. CLE |
| 89. | *Terry McLaurin WAS at ATL Note: McLaurin suffered a quad injury in the win over the Raiders and is undergoing further tests. |
| 90. | *Alec Pierce IND at LAR Note: Pierce suffered a concussion in the win over the Titans. |
| 91. | *Jauan Jennings SF vs. JAX Note: Jennings (shoulder/ankle) is day-to-day after missing Week 3. The Niners are getting DeMarcus Robinson (suspension) back this week, so that could lessen the urgency for the Niners to bring Jennings back. |
| 92. | *Dyami Brown JAC at SF Note: Brown left Sunday's win over the Texans with a shoulder injury. |
| 93. | Demarcus Robinson SF vs. JAX |
| 94. | Devaughn Vele NO at BUF |
| 95. | Casey Washington ATL vs. WAS |
| 96. | Xavier Legette CAR at NE |
| 97. | Xavier Worthy KC vs. BAL |
| 98. | Noah Brown WAS at ATL |
| 99. | Josh Reynolds NYJ at MIA |
| 100. | *Chris Godwin TB vs. PHI Note: Godwin (ankle) could come back this week - I'll wait until we get confirmation from the Bucs before moving him up in the rankings. If he were cleared to play after full practices, I'd probably put Godwin in the 30-40 range. |
| 101. | *Mike Evans TB vs. PHI Note: Evans is expected to miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury suffered late in the win over the Jets. |
| 102. | *CeeDee Lamb DAL vs. GB Note: Lamb suffered a high ankle sprain in the loss to the Bears and could be out 3-to-4 weeks. |
Tight Ends
| 1. | Trey McBride ARZ vs. SEA |
| 2. | Brock Bowers LV vs. CHI |
| 3. | Sam LaPorta DET vs. CLE |
| 4. | Tyler Warren IND at LAR |

| 6. | Zach Ertz WAS at ATL |
| 7. | Juwan Johnson NO at BUF |
| 8. | Travis Kelce KC vs. BAL |

| 10. | Dalton Kincaid BUF vs. NO |
| 11. | Hunter Henry NE vs. CAR |
| 12. | Tucker Kraft GB at DAL |
| 13. | David Njoku CLE at DET |

| 36. | Noah Gray KC vs. BAL |
| 37. | Dawson Knox BUF vs. NO |
| 38. | Will Dissly LAC at NYG |
| 39. | Evan Engram DEN vs. CIN |
| 40. | *Colston Loveland CHI at LV Note: Loveland injured his hip in the win over Dallas last week but hasn't been ruled out for Week 4. |
| 41. | *Darren Waller MIA vs. NYJ Note: Waller (hip) could make his limited debut this week for the Dolphins. |
| 42. | Isaiah Likely BAL at KC |
| 43. | *Michael Mayer LV vs. CHI Note: Mayer left with a concussion last week. |
| 44. | *Ja'Tavion Sanders CAR at NE Note: Sanders will be out multiple weeks with a high-ankle sprain. |

| 1. | Christian McCaffrey SF vs. JAX |
| 2. | Bijan Robinson ATL vs. WAS |
| 3. | Puka Nacua LA vs. IND |
| 4. | Jaxon Smith-Njigba SEA at ARI |

| 7. | Amon-Ra St. Brown DET vs. CLE |
| 8. | *Malik Nabers NYG vs. LAC Note: Nabers briefly left Sunday night with a shoulder issue while breaking up a putative interception, but later returned. Now he has a new quarterback in Jaxson Dart throwing to him. |

| 12. | Jordan Mason MIN at PIT |

| 54. | *Cam Skattebo NYG vs. LAC Note: Skattebo is already ascendant, and now Tyrone Tracy will be out 2-to-4 weeks with a dislocated shoulder. Devin Singletary will be the backup. |
| 55. | *Chase Brown CIN at DEN Note: Brown once again couldn't get untracked, and it doesn't get much easier this week at Denver. |
| 56. | *George Pickens DAL vs. GB Note: Pickens steps into the primary role for the Cowboys with CeeDee Lamb out. |
| 57. | Jaylen Waddle MIA vs. NYJ |
| 58. | DeVonta Smith PHI at TB |
| 59. | Tony Pollard TEN at HOU |
| 60. | *Trey Benson ARZ vs. SEA Note: With James Conner (foot) out for the season, it's now Benson's turn to step in as the starting back, with Emeri Demercado as the backup. |
| 61. | Tee Higgins CIN at DEN |
| 62. | *DJ Moore CHI at LV Note: Moore is already getting overshadowed by Rome Odunze, but it's possible that Luther Burden could also cut into his target share going forward. |
