Here are our rankings for the coming week at each position to help you decide your starting lineup. Our rankings are based on the following scoring system: three 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. For any late changes, look in the comments section. This feature will *not* be updated this week, but there will be a new Value Meter each week of the playoffs. For a set of full playoff rankings, please consult Chris Liss's Playoff Cheat Sheet.
