This article is part of our Weekly Rankings series.
***BYE WEEKS - Houston, Indianapolis, Minnesota, New England, San Diego, Washington. First posted Tuesday, 11/4. Sunday Update Complete.***
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.
Typically, this article will be posted on Tuesday evenings, roughly around 8:00 pm PT. ***These are not draft rankings. They are solely for the given week of the season.***
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.
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 I start Player A vs. Player B?".

***BYE WEEKS - Houston, Indianapolis, Minnesota, New England, San Diego, Washington. First posted Tuesday, 11/4. Sunday Update Complete.***
Quarterback
| 1. | *Aaron Rodgers GB vs. Chi Note: Injured his hamstring in the game before the bye, but said that it was 'fine' on Tuesday. Full practice Wednesday. ***Officially listed as probable.*** |
| 2. | Peyton Manning DEN at Oak |
| 3. | Drew Brees NO vs. SF |
| 4. | Jay Cutler CHI at GB |
| 5. | Ben Roethlisberger PIT at NYJ Note: The amazing part of this six-touchdown performance is that Roethlisberger was shut out in the first quarer. |
| 6. | Matt Ryan ATL at TB |
| 7. | Carson Palmer ARZ vs. StL Note: Signed a three-year contract extension this week, indicating that the Cardinals are satisfied about his shoulder. |
| 8. | *Mark Sanchez PHI vs. Car Note: Sanchez will replace Nick Foles after Foles fractured his clavicle. |
| 9. | Matthew Stafford DET vs. Mia |
| 10. | Cam Newton CAR at Phi |
| 11. | Joe Flacco BAL vs. Ten Note: The Steelers brought all sorts of pressure on Flacco, and he plus the Ravens' offensive line couldn't handle it. |
| 12. | *Tony Romo DAL at Jax Note: (Back) Went through a light walk-through Tuesday after missing Week 9's game. Limited practice Thursday - cautiously optimistic that he'll play. ***Listed as probable - he'll start.*** |
| 13. | Colin Kaepernick SF at NO Note: What a huge disappointment - sacked eight times by the same team he torched on the road just a few weeks ago. The Niners losing their center really hurt them, and Kaepernick didn't help much by his performance. |
| 14. | Russell Wilson SEA vs. NYG Note: Good matchup against the Giants, but his OL is suspect. He's a tale of extremes - three bad games in his last five, but the two good ones weren't merely good, they were out of this world good (against St. Louis and Washington). |
| 15. | Andy Dalton CIN vs. Cle |
| 16. | *Michael Vick NYJ vs. Pit Note: Dealing with a lingering foot injury and missed one series in the loss to the Chiefs with a head injury. Full practice Wednesday. ***Listed as probable.*** |
| 17. | Kyle Orton BUF vs. KC |
| 18. | *Josh McCown TB vs. Atl Note: (Thumb) Confirmed starter for this week. |
| 19. | Brian Hoyer CLE at Cin |
| 20. | Derek Carr OAK vs. Den |
| 21. | Zach Mettenberger TEN at Bal |
| 22. | Ryan Tannehill MIA at Det |
| 23. | Alex Smith KC at Buf |
| 24. | Eli Manning NYG at Sea Note: Garbage-time production salvaged an otherwise horrible day. |
| 25. | Austin Davis STL at Ari |
| 26. | *Blake Bortles JAC vs. Dal Note: Had his wrist examined after the loss to the Bengals, but was told that it was 'fine.' Full practice Wednesday. ***Listed as probable.*** |
| 27. | Brandon Weeden DAL at Jax |
| 28. | Mike Glennon TB vs. Atl Note: Glennon's hold on the starting job has to be tenuous with Josh McCown healthy again and the Bucs still losing. ***And now it's gone.*** |
| 29. | *Nick Foles PHI vs. Car Note: Out 6-to-8 weeks with a fractured clavicle, but won't need surgery. |
Running Backs
| 1. | *DeMarco Murray DAL at Jax Note: Had a splint on his pinkie finger in Wednesday's practice, but not listed on the injury report. |
| 2. | Matt Forte CHI at GB |
| 3. | Jamaal Charles KC at Buf |
| 4. | Eddie Lacy GB vs. Chi |
| 5. | LeSean McCoy PHI vs. Car Note: Ran well against the Texans, but has gone six games without a touchdown. Out Wednesday with an illness, but not on the injury report Thursday. |
| 6. | Jeremy Hill CIN vs. Cle Note: In line for another huge workload week. |
| 7. | *Andre Ellington ARZ vs. StL Note: (Foot) Limited participant Wednesday. ***Listed as probable and Taylor is out again.*** |
| 8. | *Marshawn Lynch SEA vs. NYG Note: ***(Calf) Missed two days of practice, but is listed as probable.*** |
| 9. | Le'Veon Bell PIT at NYJ |
| 10. | Bobby Rainey TB vs. Atl Note: If he gets the start again he has a decent matchup against the Falcons - earlier this year he got a lot of garbage time production against them, though it was garbage time in part because of his two fumbles. |
| 11. | Ronnie Hillman DEN at Oak Note: Montee Ball could return to practice this week, but Hillman (shoulder) should get another start. ***Still expected to get the bulk of the carries, though his blitz pickup issues could start to cost him playing time.*** |
| 12. | *Mark Ingram NO vs. SF Note: (Shoulder) Limited in practice Wednesday, but afterward he diminished the importance of that. Both Pierre Thomas and Khiry Robinson missed practice again. ***Listed as questionable but is expected to play, with Thomas and Robinson both out again.*** |
| 13. | Justin Forsett BAL vs. Ten |
| 14. | Denard Robinson JAC vs. Dal |
| 15. | Steven Jackson ATL at TB |
| 16. | *Frank Gore SF at NO Note: (Hip) Limited in Wednesday's practice. ***Listed as probable.*** |
| 17. | Chris Ivory NYJ vs. Pit Note: Just as we were beginning to trust Ivory, he had just 17 snaps in the loss to the Chiefs. |
| 18. | *Tre Mason STL at Ari Note: Still hasn't been named the official starter, though he was on the field for 70 percent of the snaps last week. He draws a bad matchup against Arizona this week. |

| 20. | DeAngelo Williams CAR at Phi |
| 21. | Darren McFadden OAK vs. Den |
| 22. | Darren Sproles PHI vs. Car |

| 24. | Joique Bell DET vs. Mia |
| 25. | Andre Williams NYG at Sea |
| 26. | Bishop Sankey TEN at Bal |
| 27. | *Ben Tate CLE at Cin Note: Had fewer carries and was less effective than Terrance West against the Bucs, could be the backup behind him Thursday night. |
| 28. | James Starks GB vs. Chi |
| 29. | Theo Riddick DET vs. Mia |
| 30. | Anthony Dixon BUF vs. KC |
| 31. | Benny Cunningham STL at Ari |
| 32. | *Lamar Miller MIA at Det Note: Miller suffered a sprained left AC joint in the win over the Chargers and was limited in Tuesday's practice. Practice participation has been extremely limited so far. ***Expected to suit up but could be limited.*** |
| 33. | LeGarrette Blount PIT at NYJ |
| 34. | *Reggie Bush DET vs. Mia Note: (Ankle) Full practice Monday, on track to play Sunday against the Dolphins. Another full practice Wednesday. ***Listed as probable.*** |
| 35. | Damien Williams MIA at Det Note: Both Williams and Thomas could get more action this week if Lamar Miller's shoulder injury becomes a bigger issue. |
| 36. | *Fred Jackson BUF vs. KC Note: (Groin) Didn't practice Monday, hoping to get cleared for practice Wednesday. Practiced Wednesday and Thursday, but coach Doug Marrone said that he 'is not ready yet.' ***Limited practice all three days this week, listed as questionable but the Bills are optimistic that he'll be able to play. *** |
| 37. | *Isaiah Crowell CLE at Cin Note: Didn't get a single offensive snap against the Bucs despite coach Mike Pettine saying that he wanted to get Crowell more involved. |
| 38. | Daniel Thomas MIA at Det Note: Both Williams and Thomas could get more action this week if Lamar Miller's shoulder injury becomes a bigger issue. |
| 39. | Bryce Brown BUF vs. KC |
| 40. | Jonathan Stewart CAR at Phi |
| 41. | Travaris Cadet NO vs. SF |
| 42. | Lorenzo Taliaferro BAL vs. Ten Note: ***Ravens say that Taliaferro's critical fumble last week won't restrict his role this week.*** |
| 43. | Knile Davis KC at Buf |
| 44. | Lance Dunbar DAL at Jax |
| 45. | Chris Polk PHI vs. Car |
| 46. | *Marion Grice ARZ vs. StL Note: On the field for only nine snaps, but one of those was a touchdown carry. |

| 50. | *Antone Smith ATL at TB Note: (Neck) Limited in practice Wednesday. ***Listed as questionable.*** |
| 51. | Juwan Thompson DEN at Oak |
| 52. | *Montee Ball DEN at Oak Note: (Groin) Felt good after a limited practice Wednesday. ***Listed as questionable, and though he impressed in practice, he was still limited.*** |
| 53. | *Charles Sims TB vs. Atl Note: Inactive last week, but the Bucs' GM said that there's a good chance that Sims will make his debut this week. Lovie Smith confirmed that Sims is likely to play this week, but didn't elaborate on how much - not that we expected him to do so. ***Though Sims is expected to debut this week, he's officially listed as questionable.*** |
| 54. | Peyton Hillis NYG at Sea |
| 55. | Robert Turbin SEA vs. NYG |
| 56. | Carlos Hyde SF at NO |

| 72. | *Rashad Jennings NYG at Sea Note: (Knee) Handled reps with the scout team Thursday, said that 'there's always a chance' that he could play, but Week 11 seems more likely. ***Didn't make the trip.*** |
| 73. | *Stepfan Taylor ARZ vs. StL Note: (Calf) Doubtful for this week. ***Officially out.*** |
| 74. | *Giovani Bernard CIN vs. Cle Note: (Hip) Not present at Tuesday's practice, seems unlikely to play Thursday night against the Browns. Officially out again this week. |

| 85. | Mychal Rivera OAK vs. Den Note: Rivera has had two big weeks in a row. |

Kickers
| 1. | Dan Bailey DAL at Jax |

| 7. | Mike Nugent CIN vs. Cle |
| 8. | Robbie Gould CHI at GB |
| 9. | Brandon McManus DEN at Oak Note: Clanked one off the upright from 41 yards out against the Pats, and it came at a critical time, down 20-7 in the second quarter.
