Sunday Update Complete.

Thursday Game - Chargers at Raiders. Saturday Games - Panthers at Packers; Bills at Broncos.

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

Sunday Update Complete.

Thursday Game - Chargers at Raiders. Saturday Games - Panthers at Packers; Bills at Broncos.

Here are my operating assumptions for the rankings:

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.	Patrick Mahomes KC at NO
2.	Russell Wilson SEA at WAS
3.	Lamar Jackson BAL vs. JAX Note: Jackson vehemently denied that he had to leave Monday Night's game for gastro-intestinal reasons, bur rather that he had a cramp in his throwing arm. Nonetheless, he ran wild against the Browns and threw ok - connecting when it counted, however. Meanwhile, his backup Trace McSorley suffered a knee sprain while Jackson was out and now is headed to the IR. Robert Griffin is eligible to return in Week 16, so if something were to happen to Jackson, the backup would be Tyler Huntley.*
4.	Aaron Rodgers GB vs. CAR
5.	Josh Allen BUF at DEN
6.	*Kyler Murray ARZ vs. PHI Note: The Cardinals continued to stall in the red zone against the Giants. The good news is that Murray started running more, with 47 yards on 13 attempts.
7.	*Deshaun Watson HOU at IND Note: Watson left for one play (a critical fourth-and-goal from the 1) after getting hit on the elbow, but then returned. He'll continue to start this week, but be aware that the Texans have been eliminated from the playoffs.
8.	*Ryan Tannehill TEN vs. DET Note: The only thing I don't like about Tannehill's matchup is that the Titans might just be able to run at will against the Lions.
9.	Justin Herbert LAC at LV Note: Herbert was pretty inefficient in the win over the Falcons - he needed 44 attempts to reach 243 yards, but threw for two touchdowns and led the game-winning field goal drive. The good news is that he draws the Raiders this week. Late adjustment - even though Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are playing, both are limited, so I've moved Herbert down three slots.*
10.	Derek Carr LV vs. LAC Note: Carr's groin injury in the first quarter Thursday was a total killer. He's going to be out at least 10-14 days.*
11.	Jared Goff LA vs. NYJ
12.	Tom Brady TB at ATL
13.	*Ben Roethlisberger PIT at CIN Note: Big Ben had another week of not-so-big passing yards, but gets to face the Bengals this week.
14.	*Jalen Hurts PHI at ARI Note: Hurts earned a second start after leading the Eagles over the Saints. Unless he implodes, the Eagles have to start him for the rest of the season.
15.	*Teddy Bridgewater CAR at GB Note: Bridgewater had his third rushing touchdown over his last four games, but came up a little short in the loss to the Broncos. He'll likely be in catch-up mode against the Packers on Saturday.
16.	Baker Mayfield CLE at NYG
17.	Drew Brees NO vs. KC Note: Brees had a throwing session Monday where he didn't have full range of motion and experienced pain, but then had another such session Wednesday, after which he was designated to return from IR. Surprise, surprise, Brees will start after all! Tempering my enthusiasm a little bit is the notion that Hill will still likely come in on goal-to-go or short-yardage situations, as Brees is highly unlikely to run.*
18.	Mitchell Trubisky CHI at MIN
19.	Philip Rivers IND vs. HOU Note: Rivers (toe) had another routine Wednesday absence.*
20.	*Kirk Cousins MIN vs. CHI Note: Cousins was besieged by a Bucs pass rush that sacked him six times and hit him 12 times overall.
21.	Matthew Stafford DET at TEN Note: Stafford has been diagnosed with a rib cartilage injury and the Lions are not optimistic about his status for this week against Tennessee. Did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, and 'has no expectations' about his status this week. Returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, and is listed as questionable. This on the heels of an earlier report that suggested he wouldn't practice. If Stafford plays, the matchup is great, but the risk is high. I'd probably put him around 20. The latest from Adam Schefter of ESPN is that Stafford plans to play.*
22.	*Matt Ryan ATL vs. TB Note: Without Julio Jones, Ryan is Matty Slush, melting in the heat of the fourth quarter.
23.	Tua Tagovailoa MIA vs. NE
24.	*Cam Newton NE at MIA Note: Cam was benched in the fourth quarter of last week's loss to the Rams for Jarrett Stidham, but coach Bill Belichick confirmed that Newton would start again this week.
25.	Drew Lock DEN vs. BUF
26.	*Gardner Minshew JAC at BAL Note: Minshew replaced Mike Glennon in the second half and went 18-for-31 for 178 yards and a touchdown - he'll start this week.
27.	Andy Dalton DAL vs. SF
28.	Nick Mullens SF at DAL Note: Niners coach Kyle Shanahan won't yet commit to Mullens starting - it's possible that C.J. Beathard could be an option. Jimmy Garoppolo won't yet be ready. It looks as if Mullens will start again this week.*
29.	Dwayne Haskins WAS vs. SEA Note: Haskins struggled while replacing an injured Alex Smith (7-12-51), but Smith's injury isn't considered serious. Haskins took the first team snaps on Wednesday. Named the starter for Sunday's game.*
30.	Colt McCoy NYG vs. CLE Note: McCoy took the first-team reps in Friday's practice (and all week, for that matter). The Giants will be starting McCoy.*
31.	Sam Darnold NYJ at LAR
32.	Ryan Finley CIN vs. PIT Note: For the second week in a row, Finley was a fourth quarter replacement for Brandon Allen due to injury, but will likely head back to the bench. Finley will start.*
33.	Taysom Hill NO vs. KC Note: Hill piled up decent passing yards in a losing effort last week against the Eagles, though much of that came with the Saints in catch-up mode in the second half. It's uncertain whether Drew Brees will be able to return this week. Brees will start, Hill reverts back to being an all-around player.*
34.	Chase Daniel DET at TEN Note: Daniel would start if Matthew Stafford (rib cartilage) is not able to play. Stafford plans to play.*
35.	Daniel Jones NYG vs. CLE Note: If Jones is healthy, he'll start this week against the Browns, but it didn't look as if he was fully healthy in the loss to the Cardinals and was benched for Colt McCoy late after turning in a poor performance. Jones (ankle/hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's practice. Jones was limited every day of practice, and McCoy took the first-team reps - my guess is that McCoy starts.*
36.	Brandon Allen CIN vs. PIT Note: Allen suffered a right knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys and was replaced by Ryan Finley. He's day-to-day, but the Bengals expect him to have a shot at playing Monday night. Allen did not practice Thursday, and the Bengals are trying to get Ryan Finley as many practice reps as they can. Allen still might start Monday night, however, so if you're a thrill-seeker and want to start him against the Steelers, you might still have that opportunity. Allen also missed Friday's practice - Finley will start.*
37.	C.J. Beathard SF at DAL Note: It's possible that Beathard could get the start over Nick Mullens this week. Mullens is on track to start again this week.*
38.	Alex Smith WAS vs. SEA Note: Smith was removed with a calf injury last week for 'precautionary reasons,' with Dwayne Haskins taking over the second half. Smith should return this week. Smith (calf) was present but did not practice Wednesday. Coach Ron Rivera said that it is possible that Smith could start this week even without practicing. Smith has been ruled out this week - he won't even be the backup behind Dwayne Haskins. That will either be Steven Montez or Taylor Heinicke.*

Running Backs

1.	Alvin Kamara NO vs. KC Note: Kamara finally was involved in the passing game with Taysom Hill at QB - all it took was for the Saints to fall behind 17-0. Brees is back and Michael Thomas is out.*
2.	Derrick Henry TEN vs. DET
3.	*Dalvin Cook MIN vs. CHI Note: Cook managed to get 102 rushing yards against the stingy Bucs defense in the loss.
4.	Nick Chubb CLE at NYG
5.	Jonathan Taylor IND vs. HOU
6.	Austin Ekeler LAC at LV Note: Ekeler (quadriceps) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report. Ekeler is expected to play Thursday night, whereas Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are game-time decisions.*
7.	David Montgomery CHI at MIN
8.	Chris Carson SEA at WAS Note: Carson ran roughshod early against the Jets, but because the game wasn't competitive, he didn't see much second half work. Carson (foot) is having his practice reps capped, but he's expected to be fully available for Sunday's game. Removed from the injury list.*
9.	Aaron Jones GB vs. CAR
10.	*Mike Davis CAR at GB Note: Davis should get another week as the starter as it's unlikely that Christian McCaffrey (quad) will play.
11.	Josh Jacobs LV vs. LAC Note: Jacobs (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report. No word yet on his Instagram account had to say. Jacobs has officially been cleared to play and is off the injured list entirely.*
12.	James Robinson JAC at BAL Note: Robinson (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice. Cleared from the injury list.*
13.	*Miles Sanders PHI at ARI Note: Sanders came alive with Jalen Hurts starting at QB.
14.	*J.K. Dobbins BAL vs. JAX Note: Dobbins scored for the third week in a row on Monday night, though Gus Edwards scored twice and was more efficient overall.
15.	Cam Akers LA vs. NYJ
16.	Kenyan Drake ARZ vs. PHI Note: Drake might get more of a workload as Chase Edmonds is battling an ankle injury.*
17.	D'Andre Swift DET at TEN Note: Swift took over the primary rushing duties for the Lions, logging over half the offensive snaps against the Packers. In addition to Matthew Stafford's injury, the Lions will also be down starting center Frank Ragnow, who is out with a fractured throat.*
18.	Tony Pollard DAL vs. SF Note: Pollard might get more work than normal, will Ezekiel Elliott dealing with his calf injury, which is worse than it was last week.*
19.	Wayne Gallman NYG vs. CLE
20.	J.D. McKissic WAS vs. SEA Note: The Football Team has added Lamar Miller as extra depth in the wake of Gibson's injury, but Miller won't be eligible to play this week. Gibson is doubtful again.*
21.	Kareem Hunt CLE at NYG
22.	Jeff Wilson SF at DAL Note: Raheem Mostert has a sore ankle, which could mean more work for Wilson this week against the Cowboys. If Mostert sits, Wilson becomes a top-20, maybe even top-15 back. Mostert did not practice Wednesday. Mostert was cleared from the injury list, so both backs will play on Sunday.*
23.	Raheem Mostert SF at DAL Note: Mostert missed some time against the Football Team with an ankle injury and was slated for imaging on Tuesday, with the results due on Wednesday. Mostert did not practice Wednesday, and the Niners haven't yet revealed the results of his imaging. Mostert has been cleared from the injury list.*
24.	Nyheim Hines IND vs. HOU
25.	*Clyde Edwards-Helaire KC at NO Note: CEH had a heavy workload against the Dolphins with diminishing returns, though some of those were late when the Chiefs were trying to run clock. He draws a tough matchup against the Saints this week - good game last week by Miles Sanders notwithstanding.
26.	Melvin Gordon DEN vs. BUF Note: Gordon (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, whereas Phillip Lindsay (hip) was a limited participant. Gordon was able to take part in limited practice Wednesday and Thursday, and will be listed as questionable. He's expected to play, but this could be a fairly even timeshare this week.*
27.	Gus Edwards BAL vs. JAX
28.	David Johnson HOU at IND Note: Johnson was placed on the COVID-IR as a close contact and not as a positive test. The Texans activated Johnson from the COVID-IR on Wednesday, but he did not practice. Johnson was back at full practice later in the week and both Duke Johnson and C.J. Prosise are out.*
29.	Sony Michel NE at MIA Note: Michel is in line for an expanded role with Damien Harris ruled out.*
30.	Todd Gurley ATL vs. TB
31.	Giovani Bernard CIN vs. PIT Note: Bernard fumbled for the first time since 2013 in the first quarter, and then didn't get a touch again until the third quarter. Zac Taylor sure likes to punish his veterans. Joe Mixon is not yet ready to return, but that doesn't guarantee that Gio gets a heavy workload this week.*
32.	James Conner PIT at CIN Note: Conner is tending to a quad injury and his status for Monday night is up in the air. Returned to a limited practice on Friday. He was limited again on Saturday, and is officially questionable. I'm about as uncomfortable with Conner as I am with Zeke, except he plays on Monday night, making it worse.*
33.	Phillip Lindsay DEN vs. BUF Note: Lindsay (hip) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report. Meanwhile, Melvin Gordon (shoulder) did not practice at all. Both Gordon and Lindsay were able to practice Wednesday and Thursday, albeit in limited fashion, and both will be listed as questionable. Lindsay is expected to play.*
34.	Devin Singletary BUF at DEN
35.	Zack Moss BUF at DEN
36.	Leonard Fournette TB at ATL Note: Fournette was a healthy scratch last week, but Ronald Jones underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a broken left pinkie finger. He sat in favor of LeSean McCoy last week, but will he revert back to a starter this week? Coach Bruce Arians said Wednesday that Fournette will start if Ronald Jones can't play.*
37.	Adrian Peterson DET at TEN Note: Peterson was limited to start the week due to a forearm injury.*
38.	Latavius Murray NO vs. KC
39.	Carlos Hyde SEA at WAS Note: Hyde (toe) was limited in Wednesday's practice.*
40.	Jamaal Williams GB vs. CAR
41.	*Jaylen Samuels PIT at CIN Note: Samuels and not Benny Snell appears to be Conner's backup now.
42.	DeAndre Washington MIA vs. NE Note: It's possible that Miami could get Salvon Ahmed and/or Matt Breida back this week.*
43.	Ty Johnson NYJ at LAR Note: La'Mical Perine (ankle) is unlikely to be activated this week, so Johnson and Gore should split carries once again.*
44.	Darrell Henderson LA vs. NYJ
45.	Devontae Booker LV vs. LAC
46.	Peyton Barber WAS vs. SEA Note: Barber was limited at Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury. Should get a lot of work (but few if any targets) with Gibson doubtful again.*
47.	Frank Gore NYJ at LAR
48.	Chase Edmonds ARZ vs. PHI Note: Edmonds is dealing with an ankle injury and did not practice Wednesday, worked on the side on Thursday and will be a game-time decision. Edmonds 'plans to play,' but still more of a game-time decision.*
49.	Tevin Coleman SF at DAL
50.	Ito Smith ATL vs. TB
51.	James White NE at MIA Note: White was limited at Wednesday's practice with a foot injury. White is listed as questionable.*
52.	Le'Veon Bell KC at NO
53.	LeSean McCoy TB at ATL
54.	Kerryon Johnson DET at TEN
55.	Alfred Morris NYG vs. CLE
56.	Patrick Laird MIA vs. NE
57.	Samaje Perine CIN vs. PIT
58.	Kalen Ballage LAC at LV
59.	Rashaad Penny SEA at WAS Note: Penny (knee) was designated to return from IR last week and is 'practicing with the intent to play' this week. Penny has been activated from the PUP list and is available to play Sunday.*
60.	*Benny Snell PIT at CIN Note: Snell had just five offensive snaps in the loss to the Bills on Sunday night, well behind both James Conner and Jaylen Samuels.
61.	Alexander Mattison MIN vs. CHI Note: Mattison (appendectomy) was present at practice and did individual drills Thursday for the first time since his procedure. Mattison is listed as questionable after a series of limited practices.*
62.	Josh Adams NYJ at LAR
63.	Salvon Ahmed MIA vs. NE Note: Ahmed (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Ahmed had three limited practices this week and is listed as questionable.*
64.	Rodney Smith CAR at GB
65.	Boston Scott PHI at ARI
66.	Malcolm Brown LA vs. NYJ
67.	Buddy Howell HOU at IND Note: Howell is the top backup remaining with both Duke Johnson and C.J. Prosise out.*
68.	Jalen Richard LV vs. LAC
69.	Brian Hill ATL vs. TB
70.	Jordan Wilkins IND vs. HOU
71.	Royce Freeman DEN vs. BUF
72.	Dion Lewis NYG vs. CLE
73.	Darrel Williams KC at NO
74.	*Mark Ingram BAL vs. JAX Note: Ingram pitched it back to Lamar Jackson on a flea flicker on the first drive of the game, but otherwise didn't touch the ball Monday night.
75.	Antonio Gibson WAS vs. SEA Note: Gibson (toe) did not practice Wednesday. Listed as doubtful.*
76.	Christian McCaffrey CAR at GB Note: Panthers coach Matt Rhule doesn't expect that McCaffrey (quad) will be able to play this week. McCaffrey did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.*
77.	C.J. Prosise HOU at IND Note: Prosise (ankle) missed practice Thursday and Friday. Officially ruled out.*
78.	Duke Johnson HOU at IND Note: Even with David Johnson (COVID-IR) out, Duke Johnson had to share carries, this time with Buddy Howell, albeit in a blowout loss. Johnson was limited at practice with a neck injury. Duke Johnson is questionable after missing practice Thursday and Friday, David Johnson seems likely to play. Duke has officially been ruled out.*
79.	Ronald Jones TB at ATL Note: Jones underwent surgery Tuesday to repair broken left pinkie finger. His status for Sunday is uncertain, but Chris Godwin missed a week with a similar injury and procedure. In addition to the finger surgery, Jones was placed on the COVID-IR on Wednesday. Jones remains unlikely to play.*
80.	Damien Harris NE at MIA Note: Harris (back) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice. Harris was then limited both Thursday and Friday, and then downgraded to out on Saturday.*
81.	Ezekiel Elliott DAL vs. SF Note: (Calf) Did not practice with the team Thursday, instead working out on the side. Michael Gelkhen of the Dallas Morning News reported that Zeke is still feeling 'after-effects' from the calf bruise. Missed practice Thursday and on Friday coach Mike McCarthy said that Zeke is behind where he was last week, but is trending towards playing. Still, he didn't practice at all this week. Very risky start.*

Wide Receivers

1.	Davante Adams GB vs. CAR
2.	Tyreek Hill KC at NO
3.	DeAndre Hopkins ARZ vs. PHI Note: Hopkins sat out practice Wednesday, but for non-injury related reasons. Full practice Friday. Better news for him - the Eagles won't have Darius Slay.*
4.	DK Metcalf SEA at WAS
5.	Stefon Diggs BUF at DEN
6.	Adam Thielen MIN vs. CHI
7.	Allen Robinson CHI at MIN
8.	Mike Evans TB at ATL
9.	Justin Jefferson MIN vs. CHI
10.	*Brandon Aiyuk SF at DAL Note: Aiyuk had a massive target share (16) following Deebo Samuel's injury.
11.	Cooper Kupp LA vs. NYJ
12.	A.J. Brown TEN vs. DET Note: Brown (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday and wasn't at practice on Thursday. Full practice Friday, cleared from the injury list.*
13.	Calvin Ridley ATL vs. TB Note: Ridley (foot) has been limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. Ridley was cleared from the injury list on Friday.*
14.	JuJu Smith-Schuster PIT at CIN
15.	Chris Godwin TB at ATL
16.	Brandin Cooks HOU at IND Note: Cooks (foot/neck) could return to action this week after sitting out last week. Limited practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Cooks had a full practice Friday and has been cleared from the injury list.*
17.	Robby Anderson CAR at GB
18.	Robert Woods LA vs. NYJ Note: Woods was held out of practice Wednesday with a thigh issue. Woods took every snap at Friday's practice and is good to go.**
19.	Keenan Allen LAC at LV Note: Allen (hamstring) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report. Allen has dropped to being a game-time decision for the Chargers. Allen is ACTIVE, but on a 'rep count.'*
20.	T.Y. Hilton IND vs. HOU
21.	Amari Cooper DAL vs. SF
22.	Tyler Lockett SEA at WAS
23.	*Diontae Johnson PIT at CIN Note: Johnson was benched for a good portion of the first half after a couple more high-profile drops. The Steelers play their fourth consecutive stand-alone game Monday night, though with a much lower degree of difficulty for Johnson to get well.
24.	Marvin Jones DET at TEN
25.	Jarvis Landry CLE at NYG
26.	Terry McLaurin WAS vs. SEA Note: Alex Smith hasn't practiced the last two days - if Smith doesn't play, I'd move McLaurin below Amari Cooper. It's going to be Haskins starting and Smith will be inactive.*
27.	Nelson Agholor LV vs. LAC
28.	DJ Moore CAR at GB Note: The Panthers expect to move Moore off the COVID-IR before Saturday's game against the Packers, but he also still has to clear his ankle injury. Coach Matt Rhule said that Moore will play - he practiced on Wednesday after getting activated from the COVID-IR list.*
29.	Tim Patrick DEN vs. BUF
30.	*DJ Chark JAC at BAL Note: Chark had nine targets, but the quality of the targets were poor, and he pulled down just two catches for 16 yards.
31.	Corey Davis TEN vs. DET
32.	Keke Coutee HOU at IND
33.	Antonio Brown TB at ATL
34.	Tyler Boyd CIN vs. PIT
35.	Allen Lazard GB vs. CAR Note: Lazard (core) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report. Lazard was cleared from the injury list on T*
36.	Emmanuel Sanders NO vs. KC
37.	Kendrick Bourne SF at DAL
38.	Rashard Higgins CLE at NYG
39.	Sterling Shepard NYG vs. CLE
40.	Michael Pittman IND vs. HOU
41.	Chase Claypool PIT at CIN
42.	Gabriel Davis BUF at DEN
43.	Cole Beasley BUF at DEN
44.	Curtis Samuel CAR at GB Note: Samuel gets a slight downgrade with DJ Moore returning. Not only that, but he's listed as questionable with a sore hamstring.*
45.	Jakobi Meyers NE at MIA
46.	Marquise Brown BAL vs. JAX Note: Brown has been placed on the COVID-IR list as a close contact with someone who has tested positive. He still has a chance to play Sunday, albeit without any practice this week. I'll move him back up around 45 if he's cleared to play. On track to return, so I'm moving him back up.*
47.	Hunter Renfrow LV vs. LAC Note: Suffered a concussion in the loss to the Chargers.*
48.	Russell Gage ATL vs. TB
49.	*Laviska Shenault JAC at BAL Note: Shenault led the Jaguars in targets last week with 11, catching six for 49 yards in the loss to the Titans.
50.	Breshad Perriman NYJ at LAR Note: Perriman (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.*
51.	*Lynn Bowden MIA vs. NE Note: Bowden ended up with seven catches on nine targets in the loss to the Chiefs. He could have a similarly high volume this week due to their various WR injuries.
52.	DeVante Parker MIA vs. NE Note: Parker suffered a hamstring strain in the loss to the Chiefs in the second quarter and his status for this week against the Pats is uncertain. Parker has been limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. That's actually better than I expected. Three consecutive limited practices, listed as questionable. Sunday morning reports suggest that Parker is good to play. He'll draw a tough matchup and of course is a re-injury risk.*
53.	Chad Hansen HOU at IND Note: Hansen, by rule, reverted back to the practice squad Monday after another busy week. The Texans' receiving corps remains depleted, so odds are in favor of him being active again this week against the Colts. Hansen was officially signed to the active roster on Saturday.*
54.	Sammy Watkins KC at NO
55.	Michael Gallup DAL vs. SF
56.	Tee Higgins CIN vs. PIT
57.	Jalen Reagor PHI at ARI
58.	CeeDee Lamb DAL vs. SF
59.	Willie Snead BAL vs. JAX
60.	Christian Kirk ARZ vs. PHI
61.	Jerry Jeudy DEN vs. BUF Note: Jeudy was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's injury report with continuing ankle issues. Jeudy was a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.*
62.	Richie James SF at DAL
63.	*Denzel Mims NYJ at LAR Note: Mims rejoined the Jets on Monday after being away from the team for undisclosed personal reasons. He'll have to go through the NFL's COVID protocol before being eligible to play, so that means less practice time this week.
64.	KJ Hamler DEN vs. BUF
65.	Zach Pascal IND vs. HOU
66.	Donovan Peoples-Jones CLE at NYG
67.	Tyron Johnson LAC at LV Note: Johnson could get a lot more targets if both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are forced to sit out this week.*
68.	Marquez Valdes-Scantling GB vs. CAR
69.	Tre'Quan Smith NO vs. KC
70.	Greg Ward PHI at ARI
71.	Anthony Miller CHI at MIN
72.	Keelan Cole JAC at BAL
73.	James Washington PIT at CIN
74.	Alshon Jeffery PHI at ARI
75.	*Mack Hollins MIA vs. NE Note: Hollins ended up with nine targets for 66 yards after the slew of Miami pass-catcher injuries.
76.	Jamison Crowder NYJ at LAR Note: Crowder has injuries to both calves and is being limited in practice as a result.*
77.	Damiere Byrd NE at MIA
78.	Jakeem Grant MIA vs. NE Note: Grant is week-to-week with a hamstring injury. Limited practice Wednesday and Thursday. Grant is not expected to play this week.*
79.	Mike Williams LAC at LV Note: Williams lasted two snaps on Sunday and was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report. Williams is unlikely to play Thursday night. Late news - Williams will be active after all, but could be on a 'rep count.'*
80.	Demarcus Robinson KC at NO
81.	Brandon Zylstra CAR at GB
82.	Cam Sims WAS vs. SEA
83.	Collin Johnson JAC at BAL
84.	Danny Amendola DET at TEN
85.	Darnell Mooney CHI at MIN
86.	Larry Fitzgerald ARZ vs. PHI
87.	Steven Sims WAS vs. SEA
88.	Travis Fulgham PHI at ARI
89.	Josh Reynolds LA vs. NYJ
90.	Golden Tate NYG vs. CLE
91.	A.J. Green CIN vs. PIT
92.	Jalen Guyton LAC at LV
93.	Darius Slayton NYG vs. CLE
94.	Mecole Hardman KC at NO
95.	Cordarrelle Patterson CHI at MIN
96.	N'Keal Harry NE at MIA
97.	Julio Jones ATL vs. TB Note: Jones (hamstring) hasn't been ruled out yet, but it's not looking good after missing practices Wednesday and Thursday. Ruled out again this week. He recently received a platelet-rich plasma injection and hopes to play the last two games.*
98.	Kenny Golladay DET at TEN Note: (Hip) Still not practicing. Ruled out for this week again.*
99.	Michael Thomas NO vs. KC Note: Thomas (ankle) did not practice Wednesday and* Thursday. *Ruled out this week. A perfect coda for his fantasy managers' seasons. A trip to the IR is possible.*
100.	*Henry Ruggs LV vs. LAC Note: Ruggs was placed on the COVID-IR list and will miss Thursday's game.
101.	*Deebo Samuel SF at DAL Note: Samuel injured his hamstring on the first play from scrimmage Sunday and will miss the remainder of the regular season.

Tight Ends

1.	Travis Kelce KC at NO
2.	Darren Waller LV vs. LAC
3.	Mark Andrews BAL vs. JAX
4.	T.J. Hockenson DET at TEN
5.	*Robert Tonyan GB vs. CAR Note: Tonyan is tied for the NFL lead in touchdowns with nine.
6.	Dallas Goedert PHI at ARI
7.	*Eric Ebron PIT at CIN Note: Ebron had less of a role Sunday night than he had in previous weeks, perhaps because of his well-documented drops problem. However, this week against the Bengals provides a good matchup.
8.	Noah Fant DEN vs. BUF Note: Fant left Sunday's game early with an illness, which after multiple tests was determined not to be a COVID-related illness. Nonetheless he was a non-participant in Tuesday's estimated practice after not returning from Charlotte until Monday. Returned to a full practice Wednesday.*
9.	Hunter Henry LAC at LV Note: Henry (hip) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report. Henry was removed from the injury list on Wednesday.*
10.	Rob Gronkowski TB at ATL
11.	Evan Engram NYG vs. CLE Note: Engram was added late in the week to the injury report with a calf injury, though he's likely to play Sunday night.*
12.	Irv Smith MIN vs. CHI Note: Smith had four catches for 63 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bucs and could have a similar workload if Kyle Rudolph (foot) misses another game. Rudolph indeed has been ruled out.*
13.	Logan Thomas WAS vs. SEA
14.	Jared Cook NO vs. KC
15.	Dan Arnold ARZ vs. PHI
16.	Jordan Reed SF at DAL
17.	Jonnu Smith TEN vs. DET
18.	*Dawson Knox BUF at DEN Note: Knox briefly left Sunday night's game with a stinger but later returned. He had four catches on seven targets for 34 yards.
19.	Adam Shaheen MIA vs. NE Note: Could be in line to start if Mike Gesicki (shoulder) sits out, though he'll share the TE targets with Durham Smythe. There's some chance that Gesicki plays. If Gesicki is active, Shaheen moves down between Burton and Graham.*
20.	Gerald Everett LA vs. NYJ
21.	Dalton Schultz DAL vs. SF
22.	Zach Ertz PHI at ARI
23.	Tyler Higbee LA vs. NYJ
24.	*Cole Kmet CHI at MIN Note: Kmet had seven targets in the win over the Texans.
25.	Austin Hooper CLE at NYG Note: The Browns hope that Hooper (neck) can return for Week 15 after sitting out Monday night's game, but after a DNP he'll have to practice fully before we move him back up. Limited both Wednesday and Thursday. Hooper had a full practice Friday, but is still listed as questionable.*
26.	Trey Burton IND vs. HOU Note: Burton (knee) sat out practice Wednesday but returned to practice Thursday.*
27.	Jimmy Graham CHI at MIN Note: Graham (hip) was limited at Thursday's practice. Graham (hip) is expected to play, but Cole Kmet might get more snaps and targets. Still, Graham often makes his impact in the red zone.*
28.	*Jordan Akins HOU at IND Note: Akins had perhaps the Drop of the Year in Sunday's loss to the Bears.
29.	Anthony Firkser TEN vs. DET
30.	Will Dissly SEA at WAS
31.	Durham Smythe MIA vs. NE
32.	Jack Doyle IND vs. HOU
33.	Drew Sample CIN vs. PIT
34.	Adam Trautman NO vs. KC
35.	Chris Herndon NYJ at LAR
36.	*Hayden Hurst ATL vs. TB Note: Remember when Hurst had a decent floor? He's been under 10 yards in three of the last four games.
37.	David Njoku CLE at NYG Note: Njoku (knee) didn't practice Friday, after practicing fully both Wednesday and Thursday. Coach Kevin Stefanski said that he expects Njoku, who is listed as questionable, to suit up.*
38.	Jacob Hollister SEA at WAS
39.	Tyler Eifert JAC at BAL Note: Eifert (quad/knee) sat out Wednesday and was limited Thursday. Cleared from the injury list on Friday.*
40.	Mike Gesicki MIA vs. NE Note: Gesicki had a huge game against the Chiefs but then injured his shoulder in the fourth quarter and is expected to miss at least one game. Listed as limited in Thursday's walk-through practice. Gesicki took part in a limited practice Friday, and there's some optimism that he might play, though as Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald suggests (https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article247981795.html), it still would be a pleasant surprise if he plays. If he's active, I'll slot him around where I have Shaheen (19 at the moment).*
41.	Kyle Rudolph MIN vs. CHI Note: Sat out last week's loss to the Bucs with a foot injury. Sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday. Ruled out again this week.*
42.	Mo Alie-Cox IND vs. HOU Note: Alie-Cox left Sunday's game with a knee injury. Alie-Cox sat out practice both Wednesday and Thursday. Limited practice Friday - coach Frank Reich said that the knee injury has been ongoing, but nagging more this week.*
43.	George Kittle SF at DAL Note: The Niners are hopeful that Kittle (foot) can practice this week. The Niners designated Kittle as IR-to-return on Wednesday, which opens him up to practice. Kittle won't be activated before Sunday's game - no surprise there - and the Niners are uncertain whether he'll be able to go for the final two games.*

Flex (RB/WR/TE)

1.	Derrick Henry TEN vs. DET
2.	Alvin Kamara NO vs. KC Note: Kamara finally was involved in the passing game with Taysom Hill at QB - all it took was for the Saints to fall behind 17-0. Brees is back and Michael Thomas is out.*
3.	Davante Adams GB vs. CAR
4.	Tyreek Hill KC at NO
5.	*Dalvin Cook MIN vs. CHI Note: Cook managed to get 102 rushing yards against the stingy Bucs defense in the loss.
6.	Nick Chubb CLE at NYG
7.	Travis Kelce KC at NO
8.	Jonathan Taylor IND vs. HOU
9.	DK Metcalf SEA at WAS
10.	Stefon Diggs BUF at DEN
11.	DeAndre Hopkins ARZ vs. PHI Note: Hopkins sat out practice Wednesday, but for non-injury related reasons. Full practice Friday. Better news for him - the Eagles won't have Darius Slay.*
12.	Adam Thielen MIN vs. CHI
13.	Aaron Jones GB vs. CAR
14.	David Montgomery CHI at MIN
15.	Allen Robinson CHI at MIN
16.	Calvin Ridley ATL vs. TB Note: Ridley (foot) has been limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. Ridley was cleared from the injury list on Friday.*
17.	A.J. Brown TEN vs. DET Note: Brown (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday and wasn't at practice on Thursday. Full practice Friday, cleared from the injury list.*
18.	Mike Evans TB at ATL
19.	Austin Ekeler LAC at LV Note: Ekeler (quadriceps) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report. Ekeler is expected to play Thursday night, whereas Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are game-time decisions.*
20.	Chris Carson SEA at WAS Note: Carson ran roughshod early against the Jets, but because the game wasn't competitive, he didn't see much second half work. Carson (foot) is having his practice reps capped, but he's expected to be fully available for Sunday's game. Removed from the injury list.*
21.	Justin Jefferson MIN vs. CHI
22.	*Brandon Aiyuk SF at DAL Note: Aiyuk had a massive target share (16) following Deebo Samuel's injury.
23.	Josh Jacobs LV vs. LAC Note: Jacobs (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report. No word yet on his Instagram account had to say. Jacobs has officially been cleared to play and is off the injured list entirely.*
24.	*Miles Sanders PHI at ARI Note: Sanders came alive with Jalen Hurts starting at QB.
25.	*J.K. Dobbins BAL vs. JAX Note: Dobbins scored for the third week in a row on Monday night, though Gus Edwards scored twice and was more efficient overall.
26.	*Mike Davis CAR at GB Note: Davis should get another week as the starter as it's unlikely that Christian McCaffrey (quad) will play.
27.	James Robinson JAC at BAL Note: Robinson (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice. Cleared from the injury list.*
28.	JuJu Smith-Schuster PIT at CIN
29.	Darren Waller LV vs. LAC
30.	Robert Woods LA vs. NYJ Note: Woods was held out of practice Wednesday with a thigh issue. Woods took every snap at Friday's practice and is good to go.**
31.	Chris Godwin TB at ATL
32.	Cooper Kupp LA vs. NYJ
33.	Brandin Cooks HOU at IND Note: Cooks (foot/neck) could return to action this week after sitting out last week. Limited practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Cooks had a full practice Friday and has been cleared from the injury list.*
34.	Cam Akers LA vs. NYJ
35.	T.Y. Hilton IND vs. HOU
36.	Robby Anderson CAR at GB
37.	Kenyan Drake ARZ vs. PHI Note: Drake might get more of a workload as Chase Edmonds is battling an ankle injury.*
38.	D'Andre Swift DET at TEN Note: Swift took over the primary rushing duties for the Lions, logging over half the offensive snaps against the Packers. In addition to Matthew Stafford's injury, the Lions will also be down starting center Frank Ragnow, who is out with a fractured throat.*
39.	Tony Pollard DAL vs. SF Note: Pollard might get more work than normal, will Ezekiel Elliott dealing with his calf injury, which is worse than it was last week.*
40.	Wayne Gallman NYG vs. CLE
41.	Mark Andrews BAL vs. JAX
42.	T.J. Hockenson DET at TEN
43.	Tyler Lockett SEA at WAS
44.	*Diontae Johnson PIT at CIN Note: Johnson was benched for a good portion of the first half after a couple more high-profile drops. The Steelers play their fourth consecutive stand-alone game Monday night, though with a much lower degree of difficulty for Johnson to get well.
45.	Amari Cooper DAL vs. SF
46.	Melvin Gordon DEN vs. BUF Note: Gordon (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, whereas Phillip Lindsay (hip) was a limited participant. Gordon was able to take part in limited practice Wednesday and Thursday, and will be listed as questionable. He's expected to play, but this could be a fairly even timeshare this week.*
47.	Keenan Allen LAC at LV Note: Allen (hamstring) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report. Allen has dropped to being a game-time decision for the Chargers. Allen is ACTIVE, but on a 'rep count.'*
48.	Marvin Jones DET at TEN
49.	Jeff Wilson SF at DAL Note: Raheem Mostert has a sore ankle, which could mean more work for Wilson this week against the Cowboys. If Mostert sits, Wilson becomes a top-20, maybe even top-15 back. Mostert did not practice Wednesday. Mostert was cleared from the injury list, so both backs will play on Sunday.*
50.	Kareem Hunt CLE at NYG
51.	*Clyde Edwards-Helaire KC at NO Note: CEH had a heavy workload against the Dolphins with diminishing returns, though some of those were late when the Chiefs were trying to run clock. He draws a tough matchup against the Saints this week - good game last week by Miles Sanders notwithstanding.
52.	Raheem Mostert SF at DAL Note: Mostert missed some time against the Football Team with an ankle injury and was slated for imaging on Tuesday, with the results due on Wednesday. Mostert did not practice Wednesday, and the Niners haven't yet revealed the results of his imaging. Mostert has been cleared from the injury list.*
53.	DJ Moore CAR at GB Note: The Panthers expect to move Moore off the COVID-IR before Saturday's game against the Packers, but he also still has to clear his ankle injury. Coach Matt Rhule said that Moore will play - he practiced on Wednesday after getting activated from the COVID-IR list.*
54.	Jarvis Landry CLE at NYG
55.	Terry McLaurin WAS vs. SEA Note: Alex Smith hasn't practiced the last two days - if Smith doesn't play, I'd move McLaurin below Amari Cooper. It's going to be Haskins starting and Smith will be inactive.*
56.	Tim Patrick DEN vs. BUF
57.	Nelson Agholor LV vs. LAC
58.	*DJ Chark JAC at BAL Note: Chark had nine targets, but the quality of the targets were poor, and he pulled down just two catches for 16 yards.
59.	Corey Davis TEN vs. DET
60.	J.D. McKissic WAS vs. SEA Note: The Football Team has added Lamar Miller as extra depth in the wake of Gibson's injury, but Miller won't be eligible to play this week. Gibson is doubtful again.*
61.	Nyheim Hines IND vs. HOU
62.	David Johnson HOU at IND Note: Johnson was placed on the COVID-IR as a close contact and not as a positive test. The Texans activated Johnson from the COVID-IR on Wednesday, but he did not practice. Johnson was back at full practice later in the week and both Duke Johnson and C.J. Prosise are out.*
63.	Sony Michel NE at MIA Note: Michel is in line for an expanded role with Damien Harris ruled out.*
64.	Gus Edwards BAL vs. JAX
65.	Keke Coutee HOU at IND
66.	*Robert Tonyan GB vs. CAR Note: Tonyan is tied for the NFL lead in touchdowns with nine.
67.	Todd Gurley ATL vs. TB
68.	Dallas Goedert PHI at ARI
69.	Giovani Bernard CIN vs. PIT Note: Bernard fumbled for the first time since 2013 in the first quarter, and then didn't get a touch again until the third quarter. Zac Taylor sure likes to punish his veterans. Joe Mixon is not yet ready to return, but that doesn't guarantee that Gio gets a heavy workload this week.*
70.	James Conner PIT at CIN Note: Conner is tending to a quad injury and his status for Monday night is up in the air. Returned to a limited practice on Friday. He was limited again on Saturday, and is officially questionable. I'm about as uncomfortable with Conner as I am with Zeke, except he plays on Monday night, making it worse.*
71.	Phillip Lindsay DEN vs. BUF Note: Lindsay (hip) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report. Meanwhile, Melvin Gordon (shoulder) did not practice at all. Both Gordon and Lindsay were able to practice Wednesday and Thursday, albeit in limited fashion, and both will be listed as questionable. Lindsay is expected to play.*
72.	Zack Moss BUF at DEN
73.	Antonio Brown TB at ATL
74.	Tyler Boyd CIN vs. PIT
75.	Allen Lazard GB vs. CAR Note: Lazard (core) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report. Lazard was cleared from the injury list on T*
76.	DeAndre Washington MIA vs. NE Note: It's possible that Miami could get Salvon Ahmed and/or Matt Breida back this week.*
77.	Devin Singletary BUF at DEN
78.	Kendrick Bourne SF at DAL
79.	Rashard Higgins CLE at NYG
80.	Sterling Shepard NYG vs. CLE
81.	Michael Pittman IND vs. HOU
82.	Cole Beasley BUF at DEN
83.	Chase Claypool PIT at CIN
84.	Leonard Fournette TB at ATL Note: Fournette was a healthy scratch last week, but Ronald Jones underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a broken left pinkie finger. He sat in favor of LeSean McCoy last week, but will he revert back to a starter this week? Coach Bruce Arians said Wednesday that Fournette will start if Ronald Jones can't play.*
85.	Curtis Samuel CAR at GB Note: Samuel gets a slight downgrade with DJ Moore returning. Not only that, but he's listed as questionable with a sore hamstring.*
86.	Gabriel Davis BUF at DEN
87.	Marquise Brown BAL vs. JAX Note: Brown has been placed on the COVID-IR list as a close contact with someone who has tested positive. He still has a chance to play Sunday, albeit without any practice this week. I'll move him back up around 45 if he's cleared to play. On track to return, so I'm moving him back up.*
88.	Jakobi Meyers NE at MIA
89.	Hunter Renfrow LV vs. LAC Note: Suffered a concussion in the loss to the Chargers.*
90.	Russell Gage ATL vs. TB
91.	*Laviska Shenault JAC at BAL Note: Shenault led the Jaguars in targets last week with 11, catching six for 49 yards in the loss to the Titans.
92.	Chase Edmonds ARZ vs. PHI Note: Edmonds is dealing with an ankle injury and did not practice Wednesday, worked on the side on Thursday and will be a game-time decision. Edmonds 'plans to play,' but still more of a game-time decision.*
93.	*Lynn Bowden MIA vs. NE Note: Bowden ended up with seven catches on nine targets in the loss to the Chiefs. He could have a similarly high volume this week due to their various WR injuries.
94.	DeVante Parker MIA vs. NE Note: Parker suffered a hamstring strain in the loss to the Chiefs in the second quarter and his status for this week against the Pats is uncertain. Parker has been limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. That's actually better than I expected. Three consecutive limited practices, listed as questionable. Sunday morning reports suggest that Parker is good to play. He'll draw a tough matchup and of course is a re-injury risk.*
95.	Chad Hansen HOU at IND Note: Hansen, by rule, reverted back to the practice squad Monday after another busy week. The Texans' receiving corps remains depleted, so odds are in favor of him being active again this week against the Colts. Hansen was officially signed to the active roster on Saturday.*

Kickers

1.	Younghoe Koo ATL vs. TB
2.	Justin Tucker BAL vs. JAX
3.	Harrison Butker KC at NO
4.	Stephen Gostkowski TEN vs. DET
5.	Rodrigo Blankenship IND vs. HOU
6.	*Jason Sanders MIA vs. NE Note: Sanders had a rare miss early on when the Dolphins had the lead over the Chiefs.
7.	Tyler Bass BUF at DEN
8.	Daniel Carlson LV vs. LAC
9.	Jason Myers SEA at WAS
10.	*Wil Lutz NO vs. KC Note: Lutz missed two more field goal attempts - both relatively long - in a three-point loss.
11.	Mason Crosby GB vs. CAR
12.	Robbie Gould SF at DAL
13.	*Cairo Santos CHI at MIN Note: Quietly on a roll in terms of accuracy - 21-of-23 in field goals, 27-of-28 on extra points. His last missed field goal was in Week 3.
14.	Nick Folk NE at MIA
15.	Greg Zuerlein DAL vs. SF
16.	Chris Boswell PIT at CIN
17.	Matt Gay LA vs. NYJ
18.	Joey Slye CAR at GB
19.	Michael Badgley LAC at LV
20.	Ka'imi Fairbairn HOU at IND
21.	Dustin Hopkins WAS vs. SEA
22.	Cody Parkey CLE at NYG
23.	Matt Prater DET at TEN
24.	Mike Nugent ARZ vs. PHI Note: Nugent will kick the rest of the way, with Zane Gonzalez going on IR.*
25.	Graham Gano NYG vs. CLE
26.	Ryan Succop TB at ATL Note: Succop was placed on the COVID-IR list by the Bucs on Tuesday. Succop still has a chance to return by Sunday, but just in case they have Greg Joseph on the practice squad and they just tried out Brett Maher. The Bucs activated Succop from the COVID-IR, but they also activated Greg Joseph from the practice squad just in case.*
27.	Aldrick Rosas JAC at BAL
28.	Jake Elliott PHI at ARI
29.	Austin Seibert CIN vs. PIT
30.	*Dan Bailey MIN vs. CHI Note: Back-to-back disaster games for Bailey - this time he missed three field goal attempts and his lone extra point.
31.	Sam Ficken NYJ at LAR Note: Ficken (groin) was officially activated from IR.*
32.	Greg Joseph TB at ATL
33.	Brandon McManus DEN vs. BUF
34.	Chase McLaughlin NYJ at LAR
35.	Randy Bullock CIN vs. PIT
36.	Zane Gonzalez ARZ vs. PHI Note: Gonzalez (back) was placed on IR.*

Defenses

1.	Los Angeles Rams vs. NYJ
2.	Pittsburgh Steelers at CIN
3.	*Cleveland Browns at NYG Note: Back-to-back New York teams should cure a lot of the Browns' recent defensive woes.
4.	Seattle Seahawks at WAS Note: Seattle becomes a top-five option if the Football Team has to start Haskins rather than Smith. Haskins is starting.*
5.	Miami Dolphins vs. NE
6.	Baltimore Ravens vs. JAX
7.	Buffalo Bills at DEN
8.	Tampa Bay Buccaneers at ATL Note: Gets to face Atlanta without Julio.*
9.	San Francisco 49ers at DAL
10.	*Arizona Cardinals vs. PHI Note: Hoping to take advantage of a Philly OL that just lost Jack Driscoll. The tradeoff is that they are facing Jalen Hurts and not Carson Wentz.
11.	Washington Football Team vs. SEA
12.	Tennessee Titans vs. DET Note: I'm ranking the Titans as if they're facing Chase Daniel and not Matthew Stafford. It appears that it will be Stafford after all.*
13.	Green Bay Packers vs. CAR
14.	Kansas City Chiefs at NO
15.	Atlanta Falcons vs. TB
16.	Indianapolis Colts vs. HOU
17.	New York Giants vs. CLE
18.	New England Patriots at MIA
19.	*Minnesota Vikings vs. CHI Note: Even facing the Bears, I'm struggling to get onboard with the Vikings defense.
20.	New Orleans Saints vs. KC
21.	Chicago Bears at MIN
22.	Dallas Cowboys vs. SF
23.	Los Angeles Chargers at LV
24.	Philadelphia Eagles at ARI
25.	Houston Texans at IND
26.	Carolina Panthers at GB
27.	Denver Broncos vs. BUF
28.	Las Vegas Raiders vs. LAC
29.	Cincinnati Bengals vs. PIT
30.	Detroit Lions at TEN
31.	Jacksonville Jaguars at BAL
32.	New York Jets at LAR
