Weekly Rankings: Week 11 Value Meter

This article is part of our Weekly Rankings series.

Sunday update complete

Bye Week: Atlanta, Denver, New York Jets, San Diego

Thursday Game - New Orleans at Carolina

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: 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.

Typically, this article will be posted on Tuesday evenings, roughly around 7:00 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. 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

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?". And then refer to the rankings again before asking a generic starting decision question. If you really desire a response to a starting question that doesn't have added complexity, please use our Ask An Expert service - it comes with your subscription. My response will correspond with the rankings.

Quarterback

1.Drew Brees NO at Car
Note: Last two road games have been 300+ yard games, and he has six games where he's eclipsed 300 yards this season.
2.Aaron Rodgers GB at Was
Note: Rodgers' game log since the bye is amazing - pass attempts in each game are 45, 42, 56, 38, 43 and 51. This offense is as one-dimensional as it gets.
3.*Andrew Luck IND vs. Ten
Note: (Shoulder) Limited practice Thursday. ***Full participant in Friday's practice, no longer listed on the injury report.***
4.Cam Newton CAR vs. NO
5.Kirk Cousins WAS vs. GB
Note: Excellent home matchup against the Packers this week.
6.*Tom Brady NE at SF
Note: Limited Wednesday with a sore quad. I'm also bumping him down a tad with the expectation that the Pats will run often.
7.Marcus Mariota TEN at Ind
8.Matthew Stafford DET vs. Jax
9.Russell Wilson SEA vs. Phi
Note: Two really strong games in a row, with good reports on his health. He looks more mobile now, even if he's not running that much.
10.Blake Bortles JAC at Det
Note: Bumping up for the expected garbage time production.
11.*Ben Roethlisberger PIT at Cle
Note: ***Small bump down due to high winds in CLE.***
12.*Jameis Winston TB at KC
Note: ***Good news for Winston - Marcus Peters is inactive.***
13.Colin Kaepernick SF vs. NE
Note: Had his first rushing touchdown of the season in four games against the Cardinals, and has run for 55 or more yards in three of those four games.
14.Eli Manning NYG vs. Chi
Note: Manning wasn't very good against the Bengals, but made big plays just at the right time.
15.Tyrod Taylor BUF at Cin
16.Dak Prescott DAL vs. Bal
Note: Tony Romo will be active but the backup (duh) this week.
17.Carson Palmer ARZ at Min
Note: Responsible for three turnovers against the Niners - though one of his two picks was a straight-up drop by J.J. Nelson.
18.*Andy Dalton CIN vs. Buf
Note: Dalton threw for 85 yards on the first drive, most of that on a trick-formation play to Tyler Eifert, and 120 yards the remainder of the game. OL is really struggling to protect him. (Shoulder) Limited practice Wednesday, full practice Thursday.
19.Derek Carr OAK vs. Hou
20.Sam Bradford MIN vs. Ari
21.Joe Flacco BAL at Dal
22.Alex Smith KC vs. TB
Note: No matter the opponent, the yards just aren't there for Smith.
23.Ryan Tannehill MIA at LA
24.Carson Wentz PHI at Sea
25.Brock Osweiler HOU at Oak
26.*Cody Kessler CLE vs. Pit
Note: The Browns are so intent on finding out if Kessler is their QB of the future that they benched him in a 10-7 game. I'm a Hue Jackson fan, but the decision to bring in Josh McCown after halftime last week was baffling. There's also still a chance that RG3 could get some run at the end of the season, though not this week.
27.Jay Cutler CHI at NYG
Note: It's hard to do worse than how Cutler did in a positive matchup against the Bucs, but now he goes to face the Giants on the road without Alshon Jeffery.
28.*Jared Goff LA vs. Mia
Note: Starting ahead of Case Keenum this week.
29.Josh McCown CLE vs. Pit
30.Case Keenum LA vs. Mia

Running Backs

1.Le'Veon Bell PIT at Cle
2.Ezekiel Elliott DAL vs. Bal
3.*DeMarco Murray TEN at Ind
Note: Toe didn't seem to be a problem in the wipeout of the Packers. Full participant in Thursday's practice.
4.David Johnson ARZ at Min
5.LeGarrette Blount NE at SF
6.*LeSean McCoy BUF at Cin
Note: ***(Hamstring) Full practice all week, not listed on the injury report.***
7.Spencer Ware KC vs. TB
8.Jay Ajayi MIA at LA
Note: Briefly left the game against the Chargers, though the injury fear appeared to be a false alarm.
9.Frank Gore IND vs. Ten
10.*Latavius Murray OAK vs. Hou
Note: ***(Ankle) Limited practice all week, listed as questionable for Monday night but is expected to play.***
11.*Jonathan Stewart CAR vs. NO
Note: Two consecutive rest days in advance of Thursday night's game.
12.*Lamar Miller HOU at Oak
Note: Came in dealing with a sore shoulder and then hurt his ankle, but later returned to the game. Limited practice Thursday - keep in mind the Texans play Monday night. ***Removed from the injury list.***
13.Rob Kelley WAS vs. GB
14.*Jordan Howard CHI at NYG
Note: Only two carries in the second half after a first-half fumble, acknowledged afterward that he felt 'a little tightness' during the game. Full practice Wednesday.
15.Mark Ingram NO at Car
16.*Carlos Hyde SF vs. NE
Note: (Shoulder) Got 13 carries in his first game back.
17.*Todd Gurley LA vs. Mia
Note: Had 21 carries, but wasn't used much in the red zone. ***(Thigh) Limited practice Friday, but expected to play.***
18.Doug Martin TB at KC
Note: Got 16 carries to 12 for Barber, despite the game being a blowout in the second half.
19.Jeremy Hill CIN vs. Buf
20.*Theo Riddick DET vs. Jax
Note: (Ankle) Limited practice Wednesday. ***Limited in practice all week, listed as questionable.***
21.C.J. Prosise SEA vs. Phi
Note: Did everything but score on Sunday night, and now appears to be the main guy following the release of Christine Michael, though Thomas Rawls will probably return this week. Rawls had a full practice Wednesday - I'm bumping Prosise down a few notches. ***Prosise will start, but Rawls will get plenty of touches.***
22.Chris Ivory JAC at Det
Note: Nearly even time share with Yeldon last week, compared to the previous weeks where he was more active.
23.James White NE at SF
Note: Was on the field for 29 snaps last week, with Dion Lewis still inactive.
24.Kenneth Dixon BAL at Dal
Note: As close to 100 percent as he's been this season, coming off a 10-day break from their last game.
25.James Starks GB at Was
Note: On the field for 55 snaps last week against the Titans - I thought that the Packers would use Ty Montgomery more, but that was wrong.
26.Darren Sproles PHI at Sea
27.Isaiah Crowell CLE vs. Pit
28.Rashad Jennings NYG vs. Chi
29.*Ty Montgomery GB at Was
Note: (Illness) Did not practice Wednesday.
30.Giovani Bernard CIN vs. Buf
31.T.J. Yeldon JAC at Det
32.Ryan Mathews PHI at Sea
33.Matt Asiata MIN vs. Ari
34.*Thomas Rawls SEA vs. Phi
Note: (Fibula) Will practice this week with an eye towards playing, and the Seahawks released Christine Michael. Full practice Wednesday - my guess is he gets 15-20 snaps in his first game back. ***Prosise will start, but Rawls will get plenty of touches.***
35.DuJuan Harris SF vs. NE
36.Tim Hightower NO at Car
37.Chris Thompson WAS vs. GB
38.Paul Perkins NYG vs. Chi
39.Derrick Henry TEN at Ind
40.*Terrance West BAL at Dal
Note: I have a feeling that this is the week that Dixon fully surpasses West - he was clearly the better back on Thursday night.
41.Dwayne Washington DET vs. Jax
42.*Akeem Hunt HOU at Oak
Note: Got eight carries last week with both Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue banged up. ***Both Blue and Grimes are out Monday night.***
43.Mike Gillislee BUF at Cin
44.Jeremy Langford CHI at NYG
45.Duke Johnson CLE vs. Pit
46.Peyton Barber TB at KC
47.Jerick McKinnon MIN vs. Ari
48.Wendell Smallwood PHI at Sea
49.Benny Cunningham LA vs. Mia
50.Jalen Richard OAK vs. Hou
51.*Christine Michael GB at Was
Note: Waived by the Seahawks on Tuesday. Claimed off waivers by the Packers, in a move so obvious that I didn't think it would happen. ***Got some practice reps in, but not guaranteed to play Sunday night.***
52.*Dion Lewis NE at SF
Note: Removed from the PUP list but inactive Sunday night, and coach Belichick suggested that Lewis would not have been on the injury list.
53.DeAndre Washington OAK vs. Hou
54.Charcandrick West KC vs. TB
55.Alfred Morris DAL vs. Bal

Note: (Foot) Still unable to practice. ***Officially ruled out.***

Wide Receivers

1.A.J. Green CIN vs. Buf
2.Mike Evans TB at KC
Note: Victim of game flow - game was a blowout in the fourth quarter, plus the Bucs scored on a pick-six.

5.Brandin Cooks NO at Car

17.*Amari Cooper OAK vs. Hou
