Week 16 Schedule Quirks - two Saturday games (KC vs. HOU, BAL vs. PIT)
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 after Week 1, the first set of rankings will be posted late 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

Quarterbacks
| 1. | Josh Allen BUF vs. NE |
| 2. | Lamar Jackson BAL vs. PIT |
| 3. | Joe Burrow CIN vs. CLE |
| 4. | *Jalen Hurts PHI at WAS Note: Hurts put a lot of worries to bed with his excellent performance against the Steelers. |
| 5. | *Jared Goff DET at CHI Note: Goff turned in a monster game in a shootout against the Bills that was more reminiscent of 2023 or 2022 in terms of the Lions defense. The Bears will be the ultimate litmus test of how far the Lions defense has fallen due to injury, but I wouldn't be surprised if Goff has to keep airing it out. |
| 6. | Baker Mayfield TB at DAL |
| 7. | *Jayden Daniels WAS vs. PHI Note: Daniels was sacked a whopping eight times by the Saints. It doesn't get any easier this week against the Eagles. |
| 8. | Matthew Stafford LA at NYJ |
| 9. | *Jordan Love GB vs. NO Note: Love took a hit to his thigh on Sunday night, but the Packers appear unconcerned about his status. |
| 10. | *Kyler Murray ARZ at CAR Note: Murray was briefly checked out for a head injury in the win over the Pats. |
| 11. | Brock Purdy SF at MIA |
| 12. | Anthony Richardson IND vs. TEN |
| 13. | *Tua Tagovailoa MIA vs. SF Note: Tua's 300-yard streak came to a crashing halt against the Texans. |
| 14. | *Bo Nix DEN at LAC Note: Nix turned in his worst game by far since the early part of the season, throwing three interceptions and only 130 yards against the Colts. |
| 15. | Sam Darnold MIN at SEA |
| 16. | Cooper Rush DAL vs. TB |
| 17. | *Caleb Williams CHI vs. DET Note: For the fifth time this season, the Bears were shut out in the first half. |
| 18. | *Russell Wilson PIT at BAL Note: Wilson going up against the Eagles without George Pickens (hamstring) went about as poorly as expected. There's a chance that Pickens might be back for this week's game against the Ravens. |
| 19. | *Justin Herbert LAC vs. DEN Note: Herbert briefly left Sunday's loss to the Bucs after aggravating his ankle injury on a sack, and he was listed as limited. The Chargers play on Thursday. |
| 20. | C.J. Stroud HOU at KC |
| 21. | *Bryce Young CAR vs. ARI Note: Week 15 was a big regression week for both Young and the Panthers' offensive line. |
| 22. | *Patrick Mahomes KC vs. HOU Note: Mahomes suffered a 'mild' high-ankle sprain and but fully practiced Tuesday. The Chiefs play Houston on Saturday and then play again next Wednesday against the Steelers on Christmas Day. I'm still not quite sure if he'll play, but it's looking more likely now. |
| 23. | *Michael Penix ATL vs. NYG Note: Penix has been named the starter ahead of Kirk Cousins. |
| 24. | Aaron Rodgers NYJ vs. LAR |
| 25. | Drake Maye NE at BUF |
| 26. | *Mason Rudolph TEN at IND Note: Rudolph took over for Will Levis last week, and while his stat line looks good, it was a little deceptive in that the Titans scored on the last drive of the game, in fact the last play of the game, where the Bengals were clearly coasting. |
| 27. | Mac Jones JAC at LV |
| 28. | *Spencer Rattler NO at GB Note: Rattler took over for Jake Haener in the second half and led a near comeback for the Saints. It looks like Derek Carr will need at least another week or two before he's ready to return, so Rattler will get the start(s). |
| 29. | *Aidan O'Connell LV vs. JAX Note: O'Connell (knee) is 'trending towards playing' this week, according to coach Antonio Pierce. |
| 30. | *Dorian Thompson-Robinson CLE at CIN Note: It's not yet official, but it looks like Thompson-Robinson will start this week. |
| 31. | *Sam Howell SEA vs. MIN Note: Howell went 5-14-24 with a pick and four sacks after filling in for Geno Smith. It's possible that this Seattle offensive line is playing worse than the Commanders one that was in front of him before. |
| 32. | *Tim Boyle NYG at ATL Note: Boyle filled in for the concussed Tommy DeVito in the loss to the Ravens and did a decent job of forcing the ball to Malik Nabers, all things considered. |
| 33. | *Geno Smith SEA vs. MIN Note: Smith left Sunday night's loss to the Packers with a knee injury in the third quarter. Initial tests were positive, and coach Mike Macdonald said that they hoped to see Smith at practice this week. I'll move him up accordingly once Smith starts practicing. |
| 34. | *Carson Wentz KC vs. HOU Note: If you have Mahomes in a superflex league, it's worth your while to snag Wentz just in case. I prefer him over the other fill-in QBs this week - Rattler, DTR, Howell, etc... |
| 35. | *Drew Lock NYG at ATL |
| 36. | *Desmond Ridder LV vs. JAX |
| 37. | *Kirk Cousins ATL vs. NYG Note: Cousins was pretty awful against the Raiders and the Falcons coaching staff went into a shell accordingly, playing not to lose and very nearly losing anyhow. And now he's been benched for Michael Penix. |
| 38. | *Tommy DeVito NYG at ATL Note: DeVito left Sunday's loss against the Ravens with a concussion. |
| 39. | *Jameis Winston CLE at CIN Note: Winston got benched against the Chiefs last week and now it appears that he won't start this week against the Bengals, though that won't officially be confirmed until Wednesday. |
| 40. | *Will Levis TEN at IND Note: Levis got benched in the third quarter against the Bengals and it was richly deserved, and it looks like he won't start this week. |
| 41. | *Jake Haener NO at GB Note: Benched after a miserable first half. |
| 42. | *Derek Carr NO at GB Note: Carr (hand) is at least a couple of weeks away from being able to take any contact and might not return this season. |
Running Backs
| 1. | *Saquon Barkley PHI at WAS Note: Barkley missed almost all of the second quarter while getting checked out for an undisclosed issue. We'll need to watch his status closely heading into the game against the Commanders. |
| 2. | *Jahmyr Gibbs DET at CHI Note: David Montgomery's season-ending injury might portend more work for Gibbs, but in a way the Lions might want to go out of the way to protect one of their top remaining healthy players for the playoffs. |
| 3. | Kyren Williams LA at NYJ |
| 4. | Bijan Robinson ATL vs. NYG |
| 5. | Josh Jacobs GB vs. NO |
| 6. | Derrick Henry BAL vs. PIT |
| 7. | James Conner ARZ at CAR |
| 8. | Aaron Jones MIN at SEA |
| 9. | Chase Brown CIN vs. CLE |
| 10. | Rico Dowdle DAL vs. TB |
| 11. | Jonathan Taylor IND vs. TEN |
| 12. | James Cook BUF vs. NE |
| 13. | *Joe Mixon HOU at KC Note: Mixon suffered an ankle injury Sunday against the Dolphins but checked out fine Monday. |
| 14. | Isaac Guerendo SF at MIA |
| 15. | De'Von Achane MIA vs. SF |
| 16. | Brian Robinson WAS vs. PHI |
| 17. | Chuba Hubbard CAR vs. ARI |
| 18. | Breece Hall NYJ vs. LAR |
| 19. | Rachaad White TB at DAL |
| 20. | *Zach Charbonnet SEA vs. MIN Note: Charbonnet ran well and scored the Seahawks' lone touchdown against the Packers, but was limited to eight carries due to the game-flow. Teammate Kenneth Walker will be TBD again this week. |
| 21. | *Bucky Irving TB at DAL Note: Irving (back) proved healthy enough to run for 117 yards against the Chargers despite just one limited practice all week. |
| 22. | *Isiah Pacheco KC vs. HOU Note: Split carries equally with Kareem Hunt last week, with the latter outproducing him, though neither ran especially well. |
| 23. | *Najee Harris PIT at BAL Note: Harris had a critical misplay in the loss to the Eagles, dropping a pitch from Russell Wilson that was recovered by the Eagles in the second half - the fumble was charged to Wilson even though Harris was at fault. |
| 24. | *Tony Pollard TEN at IND Note: Pollard (ankle) was checked out on the sidelines multiple times during last week's loss to the Bengals, leading to more work than usual for Tyjae Spears. |
| 25. | *Jerome Ford CLE at CIN Note: Ford will revert back to the starting role, but will he get a full-time role or will he split carries as he did prior to Nick Chubb's return? |
| 26. | Rhamondre Stevenson NE at BUF |
| 27. | *Tyrone Tracy NYG at ATL Note: Tracy appeared to lose snaps to Devin Singletary after dropping a pass in the second quarter. |
| 28. | *Kendre Miller NO at GB Note: Miller is in line for more work this week with Alvin Kamara nursing a groin/adductor injury. |
| 29. | D'Andre Swift CHI vs. DET |
| 30. | Gus Edwards LAC vs. DEN |
| 31. | *Travis Etienne JAC at LV Note: Etienne was more active and more effective than teammate Tank Bigsby last week and now has a favorable matchup against the Raiders. |
| 32. | Jaylen Warren PIT at BAL |
| 33. | Tank Bigsby JAC at LV |
| 34. | Ray Davis BUF vs. NE |
| 35. | *Ameer Abdullah LV vs. JAX Note: Abdullah was elevated back into a timeshare after Sincere McCormick hurt his ankle. |
| 36. | *Jaleel McLaughlin DEN at LAC Note: McLaughlin (quad) was a DNP on Monday and limited on Tuesday. |
| 37. | Jeremy McNichols WAS vs. PHI |
| 38. | Javonte Williams DEN at LAC |
| 39. | Kareem Hunt KC vs. HOU |
| 40. | Devin Singletary NYG at ATL |
| 41. | *Tyjae Spears TEN at IND Note: Spears picked up more work than normal with Tony Pollard nursing an ankle injury multiple times during Sunday's loss to the Bengals. |
| 42. | Justice Hill BAL vs. PIT |
| 43. | Tyler Allgeier ATL vs. NYG |
| 44. | Cam Akers MIN at SEA |
| 45. | Isaiah Davis NYJ vs. LAR |
| 46. | Ty Johnson BUF vs. NE |
| 47. | Blake Corum LA at NYJ |
| 48. | Kenneth Gainwell PHI at WAS |
| 49. | *Craig Reynolds DET at CHI Note: Reynolds is the next man up for the Lions with David Montgomery out, though he's unlikely to take on nearly as large of a role. Rookie Sione Vaki might also feature. |
| 50. | *Alexander Mattison LV vs. JAX Note: Mattison held more of the rushing role once Sincere McCormick got hurt, but lost a fumble and got tackled for a safety. Ameer Abdullah was the pass-catching back. |
| 51. | Travis Homer CHI vs. DET |
| 52. | Kimani Vidal LAC vs. DEN |
| 53. | Chris Rodriguez WAS vs. PHI |
| 54. | Sean Tucker TB at DAL |
| 55. | Jaylen Wright MIA vs. SF |
| 56. | Raheem Mostert MIA vs. SF |
| 57. | Dameon Pierce HOU at KC |
| 58. | Patrick Taylor SF at MIA |

| 60. | Antonio Gibson NE at BUF |
| 61. | D'Onta Foreman CLE at CIN |
| 62. | Pierre Strong CLE at CIN |
| 63. | Kenny McIntosh SEA vs. MIN |
| 64. | Khalil Herbert CIN vs. CLE |
| 65. | Ezekiel Elliott DAL vs. TB |
| 66. | *Alvin Kamara NO at GB Note: Kamara was forced from last week's lost to the Commanders with a groin/adductor injury. He needed an MRI on Monday. The Saints play next Monday at Green Bay. |
| 67. | *Kenneth Walker SEA vs. MIN Note: Walker (calf) had a good workout Monday, but his status for the week remains TBD. |
| 68. | *Trey Benson ARZ at CAR Note: Benson suffered an ankle injury in the second half of the Cardinals' win over the Patriots. |
| 69. | *Braelon Allen NYJ vs. LAR Note: Allen left last week's win over the Jaguars with a back injury. |
| 70. | Roschon Johnson CHI vs. DET |
| 71. | *Nick Chubb CLE at CIN Note: Chubb suffered a broken left foot in the loss to the Chiefs and is done for the season. Jerome Ford reverts back to the starting role. |
| 72. | *Sincere McCormick LV vs. JAX Note: McCormick suffered what appears to be a serious ankle injury, with him self-reporting on Instagram that he'll 'be back next season.' |
| 73. | *David Montgomery DET at CHI Note: Montgomery is out for the season due to an MCL sprain. |

| 7. | Mike Evans TB at DAL |

| 79. | *Jaylen Waddle MIA vs. SF Note: Waddle left last week with a knee injury. Coach Mike McDaniel on Monday said that the injury was 'not major, not surgery-related.' But that doesn't mean that Waddle will be able to play this week against the Niners. |

| 3. | Trey McBride ARZ at CAR |
| 4. | Jonnu Smith MIA vs. SF |

Flex (RB/WR/TE)
| 1. | Ja'Marr Chase CIN vs. CLE |
