This article is part of our Weekly Rankings series.
Sunday Update complete
One Saturday game (DET-DAL), no Monday game.
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

Quarterbacks
1. | Jalen Hurts PHI vs. ARI |
2. | *Dak Prescott DAL vs. DET Note: The absence of Tyron Smith (back) was felt frequently at times against the Miami pass rush. |
3. | Lamar Jackson BAL vs. MIA |
4. | Jared Goff DET at DAL |
5. | *Brock Purdy SF at WAS Note: Niners coach Kyle Shanahan is confident that Purdy (stinger) will be able to play this week against Washington. Full walkthrough on Wednesday. |
6. | Josh Allen BUF vs. NE |
7. | Matthew Stafford LA at NYG |
8. | *Patrick Mahomes KC vs. CIN Note: The Chiefs' offense hit a new low in the home loss to the Raiders. |
9. | Jordan Love GB at MIN |
10. | *C.J. Stroud HOU vs. TEN Note: There's a decent chance that Stroud (concussion) returns this week - he was making significant progress over the weekend. Stroud has cleared the concussion protocol. |
11. | Justin Fields CHI vs. ATL |
12. | *Tua Tagovailoa MIA at BAL Note: Tagovailoa will likely be without Jaylen Waddle this week. Tua has been limited in practice this week thumb and quad issues. |
13. | Baker Mayfield TB vs. NO |
14. | Derek Carr NO at TB |
15. | Geno Smith SEA vs. PIT |
16. | *Joe Flacco CLE vs. NYJ Note: Teammate Dorian Thompson-Robinson has been placed on IR. Flacco is getting crazy volume each week, but I think the fun stops this week against the Jets. Downgraded with Cooper out. |
17. | *Kyler Murray ARZ at PHI Note: Murray (illness) has sat out practice the last two days. ***Murray will play despite dealing with an illness this week.*** |
18. | *Jaren Hall MIN vs. GB Note: The Vikings are going back to Hall this week. |
19. | *Mason Rudolph PIT at SEA Note: Rudolph is likely to start again this week. ***Confirmed as the starter.*** |
20. | Jake Browning CIN at KC |
21. | *Jarrett Stidham DEN vs. LAC Note: Getting the start over Russell Wilson for the last two weeks. |
22. | Bryce Young CAR at JAX |
23. | Gardner Minshew IND vs. LV |
24. | *Taylor Heinicke ATL at CHI Note: Heinicke (ankle) has been limited in practice so far this week. ***Full practice on Friday and will start.*** |
25. | *Will Levis TEN at HOU Note: Levis (ankle) will likely try to practice Wednesday after sitting out last week's loss to the Seahawks. Full practice Wednesday, and it appears that he'll start. ***On Friday, coach Mike Vrabel said that Levis 'is in line to start.'*** |
26. | *Tyrod Taylor NYG vs. LAR Note: Taylor took over for the second half and the Giants moved the ball better under him than with DeVito. Named the starter this week. |
27. | *C.J. Beathard JAC vs. CAR Note: Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) hasn't practiced yet this week, though I'm still ranking them as if Lawrence will start and Beathard will be the backup. ***Beathard will finally get a week to start, as Lawrence has been ruled out.*** |
28. | *Sam Howell WAS vs. SF Note: Howell was benched for Jacoby Brissett for the second week in a row. ***Howell now appears that he'll start again after Jacoby Brissett came down with a hamstring injury.*** |
29. | Aidan O'Connell LV at IND |
30. | Easton Stick LAC at DEN |
31. | Bailey Zappe NE at BUF |
32. | *Trevor Siemian NYJ at CLE Note: Siemian will draw another start on Thursday, with Zach Wilson ruled out again. |
33. | Taysom Hill NO at TB |
34. | *Ryan Tannehill TEN at HOU Note: ***It appears that Will Levis will resume starting QB duties this week.*** |
35. | *Sam Darnold SF at WAS Note: It appears that Brock Purdy (stinger) will be able to play, but if he isn't, Darnold would be be a good streaming option. |
36. | *Kenny Pickett PIT at SEA Note: Pickett (ankle) is in the 'same position' as last week. Limited practice on Wednesday. |
37. | *Nick Mullens MIN vs. GB Note: We got the full Nick Mullens experience last week, with 411 passing yards but also four interceptions. Benched in favor of Jaren Hall. |
38. | *Jacoby Brissett WAS vs. SF Note: Brissett is getting the start against the Niners. ***Brissett now appears as if he won't play after all due to a hamstring injury that he first reported to the team on Thursday. His reps were capped on Friday, and Adam Schefter is reporting that Brissett is unlikely to play, though they'll test him out in pregame warmups Sunday.*** |
39. | *Trevor Lawrence JAC vs. CAR Note: Lawrence left last week's loss with an AC Joint sprain in his throwing shoulder. He is 'progressing' but his status for Sunday remains uncertain. Lawrence hasn't practiced yet this week. ***Lawrence has been ruled out this week.*** |
40. | *Davis Mills HOU vs. TEN Note: C.J. Stroud has cleared the concussion protocol. |
41. | *Case Keenum HOU vs. TEN Note: Keenum was replaced by Davis Mills early for a brief period, and then for the entirety of the fourth quarter last week. C.J. Stroud has cleared the concussion protocol. |
42. | *Tommy DeVito NYG vs. LAR Note: DeVito was benched at halftime in favor of Tyrod Taylor last week. I suspect that Taylor will start this week. Benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor. |
43. | *Zach Wilson NYJ at CLE Note: Wilson (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday night. |
44. | *Russell Wilson DEN vs. LAC Note: Benched for the last two games and will probably be released in March. |

19. | *Austin Ekeler LAC at DEN Note: Ekeler was back to a starter's workload on Saturday night. |
20. | *Travis Etienne JAC vs. CAR Note: The Jaguars have continued to struggle running the ball as of late, though the last two weeks were against good run defenses (CLE, TB), and in the latter case they were way behind early on. |
21. | *James Conner ARZ at PHI Note: ***It's possible that Conner sees something less than his usual amount of touches, given the comments that Emari Demercado will play a 'regular role' in the Cardinals' offense.*** |
22. | *Kenneth Walker SEA vs. PIT Note: Walker (shoulder/illness) has missed the first two practices of the week, similar to last week. ***Limited practice Friday, but is expected to play. On Friday, he was classified as a game-time decision by coach Pete Carroll.*** |

44. | Zach Charbonnet SEA vs. PIT |
45. | *Clyde Edwards-Helaire KC vs. CIN Note: Edwards-Helaire could get more work this week, as Jerick McKinnon (groin) is on IR and Isiah Pacheco is in the concussion protocol. Sat out practice Thursday with an illness. ***Also missed practice Friday, but is expected to play. However, Isiah Pacheco has cleared the concussion protocol.*** |
46. | Chase Brown CIN at KC |

64. | Michael Carter ARZ at PHI |
65. | Cordarrelle Patterson ATL at CHI |
66. | *Josh Jacobs LV at IND Note: Jacobs (quad) was unable to go on Monday.

67. | *D'Onta Foreman CHI vs. ATL |

24. | Rashee Rice KC vs. CIN |
25. | *Tee Higgins CIN at KC Note: Higgins was big last week with Chase out, but he likely will draw Sneed this week. ***Sneed is banged up, and Ja'Marr Chase could return this week, so lots of variables changing.*** |

47. | *Michael Pittman IND vs. LV Note: Pittman (concussion) fully practiced Thursday, though the Colts haven't announced yet that Pittman is out of the concussion protocol. ***Pittman has cleared the concussion protocol and is expected to play.*** |
48. | *James Conner ARZ at PHI Note: ***It's possible that Conner sees something less than his usual amount of touches, given the comments that Emari Demercado will play a 'regular role' in the Cardinals' offense.*** |
49. | *Nico Collins HOU vs. TEN Note: Collins made it through last week unscathed, and now gets C.J. Stroud back. |
50. | Ty Chandler MIN vs. GB |
51. | *Ezekiel Elliott NE at BUF Note: Elliott (illness) sat out practice Thursday. ***Cleared from the injury report.*** |

53. | Breece Hall NYJ at CLE |
54. | Devin Singletary HOU vs. TEN |
55. | *Ja'Marr Chase CIN at KC Note: (Shoulder) Returned to a limited practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. ***Chase had another limited practice Friday, and is going to come down to a pregame workout. Ian Rapoport suggests that Chase will likely play.*** |
56. | *Tee Higgins CIN at KC Note: Higgins was big last week with Chase out, but he likely will draw Sneed this week. ***Sneed is banged up, and Ja'Marr Chase could return this week, so lots of variables changing.*** |
57. | *Jerome Ford CLE vs. NYJ Note: I expect Cleveland to try to run more with Amari Cooper out. |
58. | Rashee Rice KC vs. CIN |

77. | *Terry McLaurin WAS vs. SF Note: I'd move McLaurin back up into the high 20's, low-teens even if the Commanders decide to start Brissett. The Commanders are indeed starting Brissett. ***Now that Brissett is out again, I've downgraded McLaurin again.*** |
78. | Romeo Doubs GB at MIN |
