Weekly Rankings: Week 11 Value Meter

Weekly Rankings: Week 11 Value Meter

This article is part of our Weekly Rankings series.

Sunday Update Complete

Bye Weeks: ATL, IND, NE, NO

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, the first set of rankings will be posted 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

8.Tua Tagovailoa MIA vs. LV
9.Lamar Jackson BAL vs. CIN
10.*Joe Burrow CIN at BAL

13.Sam Howell WAS vs. NYG
14.Joshua Dobbs MIN at DEN
15.Trevor Lawrence JAC vs. TEN

17.*Justin Fields CHI at DET
Note: I'm operating under the assumption that Fields (thumb) will return this week. Fields practiced without limitation on Wednesday and the Bears intend to start him, though they won't make that official until Friday. ***Fields is clear from the injury list and will start.***
18.Jordan Love GB vs. LAC
19.Geno Smith SEA at LAR
20.*Matthew Stafford LA vs. SEA
Note: Stafford (thumb) is expected to return for Week 11's game against Seattle. Stafford fully practiced Wednesday.
21.*Aidan O'Connell LV at MIA
Note: The Raiders haven't asked O'Connell to do much the last two weeks, but they'll need more of an output against the Dolphins.

23.Will Levis TEN at JAX
24.Kenny Pickett PIT at CLE

26.*Dorian Thompson-Robinson CLE vs. PIT

28.*Tommy DeVito NYG at WAS
Note: Devito (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's practice, but was back up to full participation on Thursday.
29.Tyson Bagent CHI at DET
30.Carson Wentz LA vs. SEA
31.*PJ Walker CLE vs. PIT
Note: Walker is *not* back in as the starter with Deshaun Watson needing season-ending shoulder surgery - the Browns are going with Dorian Thompson-Robinson instead.
32.*Jake Browning CIN at BAL
Note: ***Browning will be the Bengals' starter the rest of the season.***
33.*Jaren Hall MIN at DEN
Note: ***Hall (concussion) has been ruled out. Nick Mullens was activated off IR and will be the backup.***
34.*Deshaun Watson CLE vs. PIT
Note: Watson not only had a high ankle sprain in the win over the Ravens, but also fractured a bone in his shoulder and will need season-ending surgery.

Running Backs

1.Christian McCaffrey SF vs. TB
2.Austin Ekeler LAC at GB
3.Jahmyr Gibbs DET vs. CHI
4.Josh Jacobs LV at MIA
5.Kenneth Walker SEA at LAR
6.Travis Etienne JAC vs. TEN
7.Joe Mixon CIN at BAL
8.David Montgomery DET vs. CHI
9.Derrick Henry TEN at JAX
10.*De'Von Achane MIA vs. LV
Note: Achane (knee) has been designated to return from the IR, opening up his 21-day practice window. Achane was limited at the start of practice on Wednesday, but I'm getting the vibe that he'll play. ***Though Achane is listed as questionable, he was activated from the IR and will play this week in a great matchup.***
11.Rachaad White TB at SF
12.Brian Robinson WAS vs. NYG
13.*Saquon Barkley NYG at WAS
Note: Barkley tweaked his ankle in the loss to the Cowboys and has been limited both Wednesday and Thursday. ***Barkley has been cleared from the injury list.***
14.Breece Hall NYJ at BUF
15.Javonte Williams DEN vs. MIN
16.Tony Pollard DAL at CAR
17.D'Andre Swift PHI at KC
18.Jaylen Warren PIT at CLE
19.*Devin Singletary HOU vs. ARI
Note: Singletary might have the backfield mostly to himself again this week, as Dameon Pierce (ankle) hasn't practiced yet this week. ***Pierce has been ruled out.***
20.*Raheem Mostert MIA vs. LV
Note: Mostert did not participate in Monday's unofficial practice. Mostert (ankle/knee) has been limited Wednesday and Thursday. ***Mostert was cleared from the injury list, but teammate De'Von Achane is back and will cut into his work.***
21.*Aaron Jones GB vs. LAC
Note: Jones (hamstring) was once again limited at Wednesday's practice. ***Jones has been cleared from the injury list.***
22.*James Conner ARZ at HOU
Note: Conner had 16 carries in his return from his knee injury.
23.*Darrell Henderson LA vs. SEA

24.Kareem Hunt CLE vs. PIT
25.Isiah Pacheco KC vs. PHI
26.Chuba Hubbard CAR vs. DAL
27.Jerome Ford CLE vs. PIT
28.Najee Harris PIT at CLE
29.James Cook BUF vs. NYJ
30.Gus Edwards BAL vs. CIN
31.*Khalil Herbert CHI at DET
Note: Herbert (ankle) was close to returning last week and will likely be back this week against the Lions. The Bears waived Darrynton Evans, paving the way for Herbert to return to the active roster. Meanwhile, he upgraded to full practice participation Thursday while D'Onta Foreman has been limited the last two days. ***Herbert was activated from IR and will play this week.***
32.*Ty Chandler MIN at DEN
Note: Chandler was already cutting into Alexander Mattison's workload, and then took over once Mattison suffered a concussion.
33.Zach Charbonnet SEA at LAR
34.*Alexander Mattison MIN at DEN
Note: Mattison left Sunday's win over the Saints with a concussion and remained in the concussion protocol to begin the week. Mattison sat out practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday as he progresses through the protocol. ***Mattison had a full practice Friday and will play this week after all.***
35.*Latavius Murray BUF vs. NYJ
Note: Murray ran well while James Cook was getting benched for his first-quarter fumble. Cook later returned, but between that stretch of time (roughly a quarter), the Bills' offensive coordinator getting fired and Leonard Fournette still hanging out on the practice squad, there's plenty of intrigue in Buffalo this week.
36.*D'Onta Foreman CHI at DET
Note: I'm curious to see the distribution at RB for the Bears this week. I still think that Foreman will have a significant role, even with Khalil Herbert returning. Foreman (ankle) has been limited in the last two days, whereas Herbert improved to full participation Thursday. ***Foreman is listed as questionable with his ankle injury, and Khalil Herbert is back.***
37.*Keaton Mitchell BAL vs. CIN
Note: Coach John Harbaugh said that Mitchell will be 'more involved this week' after he had only four second-half snaps against the Browns.
38.Tyjae Spears TEN at JAX

51.Roschon Johnson CHI at DET
52.Trayveon Williams CIN at BAL

61.Raheem Blackshear CAR vs. DAL
62.Ke'Shawn Vaughn TB at SF

64.Leonard Fournette at
65.*Jeff Wilson MIA vs. LV
Note: ***INACTIVE.***
66.*Antonio Gibson WAS vs. NYG
Note: Gibson has missed the first two practices of the week with a toe injury. ***Listed as doubtful.***

6.Ja'Marr Chase CIN at BAL
7.Brandon Aiyuk SF vs. TB
8.Stefon Diggs BUF vs. NYJ
9.*Mike Evans TB at SF
Note: Evans (quad) fully practiced Thursday.
10.*Davante Adams LV at MIA
Note: Though it didn't translate into a massive line score, Adams was targeted a whopping 13 times Sunday night.
11.*Cooper Kupp LA vs. SEA
Note: Will Kupp bounce back now that he has Stafford starting again?
12.Courtland Sutton DEN vs. MIN
13.Terry McLaurin WAS vs. NYG
14.DK Metcalf SEA at LAR
15.Deebo Samuel SF vs. TB
16.*Jaylen Waddle MIA vs. LV

27.Tyler Boyd CIN at BAL

29.*Puka Nacua LA vs. SEA
Note: Nacua is still dealing with some swelling in his knee and was limited at Wednesday's practice.
30.George Pickens PIT at CLE
31.Calvin Ridley JAC vs. TEN
32.*Robert Woods HOU vs. ARI

Note: Dotson is the reverse Godfather - just when you think you're in, he pushes you back out.
41.*Jaxon Smith-Njigba SEA at LAR

Note: Robinson (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice.
52.Michael Gallup DAL at CAR
53.K.J. Osborn MIN at DEN
54.Rondale Moore ARZ at HOU
55.*Trenton Irwin CIN at BAL
Note: Irwin scored a touchdown last week and could have had a second if Joe Burrow hadn't thrown wide of him when Irwin was open in the end zone. It looks like Tee Higgins will miss a second game, so Irwin could be viable in some formats again this week. Higgins is officially out again this week.
