Week 13 Notes: Carolina, Cleveland, Green Bay and Tennessee on bye.
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 "Player X vs. Player Y?" without any other mitigating factors. Of course, I welcome debate - if you think I'm wrong, let me know. But please check out the rankings first before asking your start/sit question. This truly reflects my opinion in my leagues.
These are my particular rankings. If you want a second opinion elsewhere on the site, you can see our Weekly Projections.

Starting after Week 1, the rankings for the subsequent week will first post on Tuesday nights. I will then do a set of updates before kickoff on Thursday, and again before kickoff on Sunday morning. I will post at the top of the article in bold font when ranking updates are in progress and when they're complete.
I welcome debate on the rankings in the comments. Please keep it friendly.
Quarterbacks
| 1. | Tom Brady TB at IND |
| 2. | *Josh Allen BUF at NO Note: Allen threw two costly interceptions in the loss to the Colts, giving him five in the last three games. |
| 3. | Jalen Hurts PHI at NYG |
| 4. | *Lamar Jackson BAL vs. CLE Note: Jackson (illness) was feeling better Monday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to play against the Browns. Adding in a layer of complication, the game is Sunday night, so you will have fewer options to swap out in case he can't play. Jackson returned to practice Wednesday and will start again. |
| 5. | *Aaron Rodgers GB vs. LAR Note: Playing through a painful toe injury that was described as 'a little worse than turf toe.' Rodgers has a fractured left pinkie toe and missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. He is still expected to play this weekend. ***Rodgers didn't practice at all this week, yet was still cleared from the injured list and having a broken toe.*** |
| 6. | Justin Herbert LAC at DEN |
| 7. | Joe Burrow CIN vs. PIT |
| 8. | *Dak Prescott DAL vs. LV Note: Prescott was always on the run with Tyron Smith (ankle) out. Mixed news - Dak won't have CeeDee Lamb or Amari Cooper, but he will get Tyron Smith (ankle) back. |
| 9. | Jimmy Garoppolo SF vs. MIN |
| 10. | Matthew Stafford LA at GB |
| 11. | Tua Tagovailoa MIA vs. CAR |
| 12. | Kirk Cousins MIN at SF |
| 13. | Cam Newton CAR at MIA |
| 14. | Derek Carr LV at DAL |
| 15. | Taylor Heinicke WAS vs. SEA |
| 16. | Mac Jones NE vs. TEN |
| 17. | *Ben Roethlisberger PIT at CIN Note: Roethlisberger (pectoral/shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday. ***Cleared from the injury list despite being limited again on Friday.*** |
| 18. | Carson Wentz IND vs. TB |
| 19. | Matt Ryan ATL at JAX |
| 20. | Russell Wilson SEA at WAS |
| 21. | *Andy Dalton CHI at DET Note: Dalton will get the start with Justin Fields nursing a rib injury. |
| 22. | Tyrod Taylor HOU vs. NYJ |
| 23. | *Ryan Tannehill TEN at NE Note: Under siege all game from the rain and the Texans' pass rush, plus he made all sorts of mistakes along the way. |
| 24. | *Daniel Jones NYG vs. PHI Note: Jones got his offensive coordinator (Jason Garrett) fired by he and his teammates' performances. |
| 25. | *Baker Mayfield CLE at BAL Note: Mayfield will continue to start as long as he's medically cleared to play from his knee/foot/shoulder ailments. After watching Mayfield's performance against the Lions, they should re-think that stance. Mayfield didn't practice Wednesday, but was a full participant Thursday. ***Mayfield is not on the injured list for Sunday night's game.*** |
| 26. | Teddy Bridgewater DEN vs. LAC |
| 27. | *Trevor Siemian NO vs. BUF Note: Siemian's garbage time production camouflaged just how poorly he played early on in the loss to the Eagles. |
| 28. | Trevor Lawrence JAC vs. ATL |
| 29. | *Jared Goff DET vs. CHI Note: Goff (oblique) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday. There's a chance that he plays Thursday. Cleared to start for Thursday's game. |
| 30. | *Zach Wilson NYJ at HOU Note: Wilson (knee) will likely start with both Mike White and Joe Flacco landing on the COVID-IR on Tuesday. Josh Johnson was activated from the practice squad to back him up, most likely. Wilson officially has been named the starter. |
| 31. | *Taysom Hill NO vs. BUF Note: Hill (foot) got another contract extension Monday, helping the Saints extend out his salary cap hit. He didn't play a snap on Sunday and his status for Thursday night remains uncertain. |
| 32. | Case Keenum CLE at BAL |
| 33. | *Tyler Huntley BAL vs. CLE Note: Huntley will revert to backup status after Lamar Jackson returned to practice Wednesday. |
| 34. | *Tim Boyle DET vs. CHI Note: Goff was limited to start the week - we'll see whether Boyle gets another start in a stand-alone game on Thursday. Goff is back, so Boyle will revert to backup duties. |
| 35. | *Justin Fields CHI at DET Note: Fields (ribs) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Lions - Andy Dalton will start. Officially ruled out, diagnosed with fractured ribs. |
| 36. | *Mike White NYJ at HOU Note: White tested positive for COVID-19. |
| 37. | *Joe Flacco NYJ at HOU Note: Teammate Mike White tested positive, and Flacco is unvaccinated so he is out for five days as a close contact. |
Running Backs
| 1. | Jonathan Taylor IND vs. TB |
| 2. | Christian McCaffrey CAR at MIA |
| 3. | Austin Ekeler LAC at DEN |
| 4. | Najee Harris PIT at CIN |
| 5. | Dalvin Cook MIN at SF |
| 6. | Joe Mixon CIN vs. PIT |
| 7. | *Nick Chubb CLE at BAL Note: ***Kareem Hunt is back this week to steal some of Chubb's workload.*** |
| 8. | D'Andre Swift DET vs. CHI |
| 9. | David Montgomery CHI at DET |
| 10. | *Ezekiel Elliott DAL vs. LV Note: Elliott (knee) was slowed against the Chiefs, but he bumped up to full participation in Tuesday's 'run-through.' |
| 11. | *Cordarrelle Patterson ATL at JAX Note: ***Patterson (ankle) is a game-time decision this week, but is expected to play.*** |
| 12. | Leonard Fournette TB at IND |
| 13. | *Antonio Gibson WAS vs. SEA Note: Gibson was briefly benched after a first-half fumble, but recovered to have a productive second half. ***Usual limited practice routine due to his shin injury this week, but is off the injury list by the weekend.*** |
| 14. | *James Robinson JAC vs. ATL Note: ***Robinson (knee/heel) had a full practice Friday and was removed from the injury list.*** |
| 15. | *Saquon Barkley NYG vs. PHI Note: ***Barkley (ankle) is listed as questionable but had no setbacks after returning last week - he's expected to play.*** |
| 16. | *Aaron Jones GB vs. LAR Note: ***Jones (knee) practiced all week, but because the Packers are on bye next week, they aren't certain whether they'll have him return, so he's a game-time decision for a 4:25 pm ET game.*** |
| 17. | Melvin Gordon DEN vs. LAC |
| 18. | Darrell Henderson LA at GB |
| 19. | *Damien Harris NE vs. TEN Note: ***Harris (neck) is listed as questionable but is expected to play.*** |
| 20. | Josh Jacobs LV at DAL |
| 21. | *Elijah Mitchell SF vs. MIN Note: Mitchell (finger) has been described as day-to-day. The Niners were optimistic about his status at the beginning of last week, but ultimately he didn't practice at all - he'll need to practice this week before I move him up. ***Mitchell practiced this week and is expected to play.*** |
| 22. | Devonta Freeman BAL vs. CLE |
| 23. | *Miles Sanders PHI at NYG Note: Sanders lost a fumble that led to the Saints' only first half score, and then put another ball on the ground that wasn't ruled a fumble. |
| 24. | Myles Gaskin MIA vs. CAR |
| 25. | *Rhamondre Stevenson NE vs. TEN Note: ***Stevenson (knee) is listed as questionable but is expected to play.*** |
| 26. | Javonte Williams DEN vs. LAC |
| 27. | *Ty Johnson NYJ at HOU Note: Johnson will split the work with Tevin Coleman. I like him better than Coleman even though Coleman got more carries last week. |
| 28. | *J.D. McKissic WAS vs. SEA Note: ***McKissic (ankle) was limited in practice this week but then removed from the injury list on Saturday.*** |
| 29. | Alex Collins SEA at WAS |
| 30. | Devin Singletary BUF at NO |
| 31. | Tony Pollard DAL vs. LV |
| 32. | AJ Dillon GB vs. LAR |
| 33. | Rex Burkhead HOU vs. NYJ |
| 34. | *Boston Scott PHI at NYG Note: Scott will get more work this week with Jordan Howard out with a knee injury. |
| 35. | *Dontrell Hilliard TEN at NE Note: Hilliard had over 50 snaps in the loss to Houston on Sunday, and then was permanently added to the active roster this week, with the Titans releasing Adrian Peterson. |
| 36. | Nyheim Hines IND vs. TB |
| 37. | *Kareem Hunt CLE at BAL Note: Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said he's 'hopeful' that Hunt (calf) can return this week. ***Hunt has been activated from the IR, but is still listed as questionable. He's expected to play, though might be a little limited compared to his usual workload.*** |
| 38. | *Tony Jones NO vs. BUF Note: Minimal role last week, but Ingram could be banged up for Thursday night's game. Mark Ingram managed only one limited practice this week and Alvin Kamara has already been ruled out. |
| 39. | *Matt Breida BUF at NO Note: Breida has earned more touches going forward, likely at the expense of Zack Moss. |
| 40. | *DeeJay Dallas SEA at WAS Note: ***The Seahawks are down to just Alex Collins and Dallas with Travis Homer and Rashaad Penny ruled out.*** |
| 41. | *Jeff Wilson SF vs. MIN Note: ***Elijah Mitchell is expected to return this week, so Wilson's role will be reduced.*** |
| 42. | Kenyan Drake LV at DAL |
| 43. | Latavius Murray BAL vs. CLE |
| 44. | Tevin Coleman NYJ at HOU |
| 45. | *D'Onta Foreman TEN at NE Note: ***Foreman (triceps) was limited in practice this week, but does not have an injury designation.*** |
| 46. | Devontae Booker NYG vs. PHI |
| 47. | Mike Davis ATL at JAX |
| 48. | Alexander Mattison MIN at SF |
| 49. | Ronald Jones TB at IND |
| 50. | Samaje Perine CIN vs. PIT |
| 51. | Brandon Bolden NE vs. TEN |

| 68. | Kenneth Gainwell PHI at NYG |
| 69. | *Qadree Ollison at Note: ***Was not activated from the practice squad this week after missing practice with a non-COVID illness.*** |
| 70. | *Damien Williams CHI at DET Note: Williams (calf/knee) was still not practicing on Tuesday. Ruled out for Thursday. |
| 71. | *Jeremy McNichols TEN at NE Note: ***McNichols (concussion) still has not practiced and has been ruled out again this week.*** |
| 72. | *Jordan Howard PHI at NYG Note: Howard is likely out with a knee sprain - and with the Eagles on bye in Week 14, he's likely to miss two games. ***Officially ruled out.*** |
| 73. | *Mark Ingram NO vs. BUF Note: Ingram (knee) did not practice Monday or Tuesday after taking 22 touches on Sunday - we'll see if this is a sneaky injury like Kamara's, or maintenance. Ingram managed only one limited practice this week, is listed as questionable and reportedly faces 'an uphill battle' to be cleared to play Thursday night. Tony Jones is the pivot if Ingram can't play. |
| 74. | *Zack Moss BUF at NO Note: Matt Breida is cutting into Moss's playing time, and there are some rumors floating that Moss will be inactive this week. |
| 75. | *Travis Homer SEA at WAS Note: ***Ruled out with a calf injury.*** |
| 76. | *Rashaad Penny SEA at WAS Note: Penny injured his hamstring in the loss to Arizona. ***Ruled out this week, and a trip to the IR is possible.*** |

| 79. | *Alvin Kamara NO vs. BUF Note: Kamara (knee) hasn't yet practiced this week, with the Saints playing Thursday night against the Bills. Ruled out again this week. |

| 85. | DeSean Jackson LV at DAL |

| 98. | *A.J. Brown TEN at NE Note: Brown received negative x-ray results Monday after leaving Sunday's loss to the Texans early. ***Not only ruled out this week, but also for the next two weeks.*** |

| 30. | *Aaron Jones GB vs. LAR Note: ***Jones (knee) practiced all week, but because the Packers are on bye next week, they aren't certain whether they'll have him return, so he's a game-time decision for a 4:25 pm ET game.*** |
