Weekly Rankings: Week 7 Value Meter

Weekly Rankings: Week 7 Value Meter

This article is part of our Weekly Rankings series.

Patriots-Jaguars is the London game, beginning at 9:30a ET.

Week 7 Byes: Chicago, Dallas

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.*Lamar Jackson BAL at TB
Note: Jackson now has a fun matchup against the Bucs - it should be another high-scoring affair.
2.*Josh Allen BUF vs. TEN
Note: Allen just got another weapon to throw to in Amari Cooper.
3.Jayden Daniels WAS vs. CAR
4.Joe Burrow CIN at CLE
5.Jalen Hurts PHI at NYG
6.*Kyler Murray ARZ vs. LAC
Note: Murray struggled in the rain against the Packers, who did well to contain his running ability.
7.Jordan Love GB vs. HOU
8.Brock Purdy SF vs. KC
9.C.J. Stroud HOU at GB
10.*Baker Mayfield TB vs. BAL
Note: We got the full Baker experience this week against the Saints, with him throwing for 325 yards and four touchdowns, but also three interceptions.
11.Patrick Mahomes KC at SF
12.*Kirk Cousins ATL vs. SEA
Note: Cousins played fine, but the game flow worked against him, with the Falcons running the ball so readily. They might run wild again this week against Seattle, but the passing game could also be potent.
13.Jared Goff DET at MIN
14.Sam Darnold MIN vs. DET
15.Geno Smith SEA at ATL
16.*Anthony Richardson IND vs. MIA
Note: Richardson (oblique) was close to starting last week against Tennessee but will start this week, barring a setback.
17.Justin Herbert LAC at ARI
18.Matthew Stafford LA vs. LV
19.*Trevor Lawrence JAC vs. NE
Note: Of Lawrence's 12 incompletions in the loss to the Bears were four dropped potential touchdowns.
20.Andy Dalton CAR at WAS
21.*Drake Maye NE at JAX
Note: Maye had three turnovers but also generated three touchdowns in the loss to the Texans. At least he'll have a decent matchup against the Jaguars this week.
22.Daniel Jones NYG vs. PHI
23.*Aaron Rodgers NYJ at PIT
Note: Rodgers gets old friend Davante Adams (hamstring) into the fold - how quickly will he be able to ramp up?
24.Bo Nix DEN at NO
25.*Russell Wilson PIT vs. NYJ
Note: It appears that Wilson is likely to start against the Jets on Sunday night, getting first-team reps on Wednesday.
26.*Spencer Rattler NO vs. DEN
Note: Rattler is expected to start again this week, with Carr due to be out 3-to-4 weeks.
27.*Will Levis TEN at BUF
Note: Levis was pretty awful again against the Colts and now has a tough matchup against the Bills. His hold on the starting role must be tenuous by now.
28.*Tyler Huntley MIA at IND
Note: Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to play again this season, but won't play this week. Huntley will get another start.
29.*Deshaun Watson CLE vs. CIN
Note: Watson won't be benched this week against the Bengals, but now he's down his top wideout in Amari Cooper.
30.Aidan O'Connell LV at LAR
31.*Justin Fields PIT vs. NYJ
Note: Fields could lose his starting job to Russell Wilson this week, though coach Mike Tomlin didn't fully commit to that decision, saying that both will see first-team reps in practice.
32.*Joe Flacco IND vs. MIA
Note: Flacco will likely retreat to the bench this week, as coach Shane Steichen said that Anthony Richardson will start this week, barring a setback in practice.
33.*Derek Carr NO vs. DEN
Note: Carr (oblique) hasn't officially been ruled out, but the expectation last week was that he'd miss 3-to-4 games.
34.Caleb Williams CHI at

Running Backs

1.Kyren Williams LA vs. LV
2.Derrick Henry BAL at TB
3.Bijan Robinson ATL vs. SEA
4.*Saquon Barkley PHI at NYG
Note: Barkley had a hard time against the Browns, frequently not converting on 2nd or 3rd-and-short, missing a block on a blitz pickup and not picking up a first down on a play to the outside where it looked like he had the advantage to do so.
5.*Alvin Kamara NO vs. DEN
Note: Kamara (hand) was a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
6.Joe Mixon HOU at GB
7.*Breece Hall NYJ at PIT
Note: The Jets re-committed to using Hall, and he rewarded them with a combined 169 yards.
8.Jahmyr Gibbs DET at MIN
9.Josh Jacobs GB vs. HOU
10.Tony Pollard TEN at BUF
11.Kenneth Walker SEA at ATL
12.David Montgomery DET at MIN
13.*Isaac Guerendo SF vs. KC
Note: Guerendo would take over the lead back duties if Jordan Mason (shoulder) can't play against the Chiefs.
14.James Conner ARZ vs. LAC
15.Kareem Hunt KC at SF
16.*Chuba Hubbard CAR at WAS
Note: Hubbard's run as the lead back might come to an end soon, pending how quickly the Panthers activate Jonathon Brooks (knee) once his practice window opens.
17.J.K. Dobbins LAC at ARI
18.Tank Bigsby JAC vs. NE
19.Najee Harris PIT vs. NYJ
20.Bucky Irving TB vs. BAL
21.*Ray Davis BUF vs. TEN
Note: Davis proved to be quite viable with James Cook (toe) out on Monday night, with a combined 152 rushing and receiving yards.
22.*Chase Brown CIN at CLE
Note: Brown took over the lead back duties against the Giants on Sunday night, but draws a tough assignment against the Browns this week.
23.*Tyrone Tracy NYG vs. PHI
Note: The Giants might just have lost LT Andrew Thomas to a foot injury.
24.Raheem Mostert MIA at IND
25.Antonio Gibson NE at JAX
26.Ty Chandler MIN vs. DET
27.Austin Ekeler WAS vs. CAR
28.Jaylen Wright MIA at IND
29.*Nick Chubb CLE vs. CIN
Note: Chubb (knee) is expected to return to game action this week, while teammate Jerome Ford is week-to-week with a hamstring injury.
30.Alexander Mattison LV at LAR
31.Javonte Williams DEN at NO
32.Tyler Allgeier ATL vs. SEA
33.*Trey Sermon IND vs. MIA
Note: Very inefficient in the win over the Titans. You can see the qualitative difference between Sermon and Jonathan Taylor with Sermon getting the first back carries.
34.*Sean Tucker TB vs. BAL
Note: Tucker likely earned future player time even after Rachaad White (foot) returns with a monster game against the Saints. I'd caution against high expectations this week against the Ravens, however - while some of Tucker's production was early, a big portion of it was late in 'hitter's counts' against a tired Saints team.
35.Jaylen Warren PIT vs. NYJ
36.Justice Hill BAL at TB
37.Jeremy McNichols WAS vs. CAR
38.Dameon Pierce HOU at GB
39.*Zack Moss CIN at CLE
Note: Benched after losing a fumble in the third quarter - I would presume Chase Brown will continue to extend his lead over Moss this week against the Browns.
40.*Braelon Allen NYJ at PIT
Note: Allen reverted back to a traditional backup role under the new coaching regime, though he still retained some goal line duties. He had a rushing touchdown called back due to a holding penalty.
41.Tyler Goodson IND vs. MIA
42.D'Ernest Johnson JAC vs. NE
43.Zach Charbonnet SEA at ATL
44.*Ty Johnson BUF vs. TEN
Note: Johnson got the first carry on Monday night with James Cook out, but took a backseat to Ray Davis.
45.*Kimani Vidal LAC at ARI
Note: Scored on his first touch on a sweet wheel route.
46.Dare Ogunbowale HOU at GB
47.D'Onta Foreman CLE vs. CIN
48.Pierre Strong CLE vs. CIN
49.Jaleel McLaughlin DEN at NO
50.Samaje Perine KC at SF
51.Miles Sanders CAR at WAS
52.Blake Corum LA vs. LV
53.Emanuel Wilson GB vs. HOU
54.Carson Steele KC at SF

57.Jamaal Williams NO vs. DEN
58.Kenneth Gainwell PHI at NYG
59.JaMycal Hasty NE at JAX
60.*Cam Akers MIN vs. DET
Note: The Vikings traded for Akers on Tuesday.
61.Patrick Taylor SF vs. KC
62.Emari Demercado ARZ vs. LAC
63.*Kendre Miller NO vs. DEN
Note: Miller (hamstring) wasn't listed on Monday's estimated injury report.
64.*Jordan Mason SF vs. KC
Note: Mason suffered an AC shoulder joint sprain on Thursday night. He was in a non-contact jersey in Monday's walk-through and is day-to-day.
65.*Clyde Edwards-Helaire KC at SF
Note: CEH was added to the Chiefs' active roster on Tuesday.
66.*James Cook BUF vs. TEN
Note: Cook is optimistic that Cook (toe) will return after missing Monday night's win over the Jets.
67.*Jerome Ford CLE vs. CIN
Note: Ford left in the first quarter with a hamstring injury and has been deemed day-to-day.
68.Rachaad White TB vs. BAL
69.*De'Von Achane MIA at IND
Note: Achane (concussion) wore a non-contact jersey in Monday's walk-through.
70.*Travis Etienne JAC vs. NE
Note: Etienne (hamstring) is week-to-week after exiting for the final time last week in the third quarter.
71.*Tyjae Spears TEN at BUF
Note: Spears is week-to-week with the hamstring injury suffered against the Colts.
72.Zamir White LV at LAR
73.Devin Singletary NYG vs. PHI
74.Jonathan Taylor IND vs. MIA
75.Rhamondre Stevenson NE at JAX
76.Cordarrelle Patterson PIT vs. NYJ
77.Brian Robinson WAS vs. CAR
78.Christian McCaffrey SF vs. KC
79.*Aaron Jones MIN vs. DET
Note: Jones (hip) was on the field for the Vikings' 'light bonus session' Monday.
80.*Jonathon Brooks CAR at WAS
Note: Brooks (knee) will begin his 21-day practice window to return this week - the Panthers can then activate him from the PUP list at any point.
81.D'Andre Swift CHI at
82.Roschon Johnson CHI at
83.Khalil Herbert CHI at

12.Deebo Samuel SF vs. KC
13.Zay Flowers BAL at TB
14.*Garrett Wilson NYJ at PIT

16.DeVonta Smith PHI at NYG
17.Romeo Doubs GB vs. HOU
18.*Davante Adams NYJ at PIT
Note: Adams (hamstring) was traded to the Jets and passed his physical on Tuesday. He's expected to play this week.
19.Brandon Aiyuk SF vs. KC
20.Brian Thomas JAC vs. NE
21.*Tyreek Hill MIA at IND
Note: I think that the Dolphins will have used the bye week to find some ways to free up Hill even with Huntley at QB.
22.Jameson Williams DET at MIN
23.George Pickens PIT vs. NYJ
24.JuJu Smith-Schuster KC at SF
25.Diontae Johnson CAR at WAS

31.Courtland Sutton DEN at NO
32.Josh Downs IND vs. MIA

36.Christian Kirk JAC vs. NE
37.Tank Dell HOU at GB
38.Jordan Whittington LA vs. LV
39.Xavier Worthy KC at SF
40.*Khalil Shakir BUF vs. TEN
Note: Shakir moves down a notch with the acquisition of Amari Cooper.

43.Ladd McConkey LAC at ARI

45.DeAndre Hopkins TEN at BUF
46.Tyler Lockett SEA at ATL

51.Jauan Jennings SF vs. KC
52.Darius Slayton NYG vs. PHI

57.Adonai Mitchell IND vs. MIA
58.*Bub Means NO vs. DEN
Note: The last man standing in New Orleans.
59.Gabe Davis JAC vs. NE
60.*Elijah Moore CLE vs. CIN
Note: Moore is dealing with a rib injury, which might push Cedric Tillman into a bigger role.
61.*Mike Williams NYJ at PIT
Note: Williams was evaluated for a concussion following Monday's loss to the Bills. He ran the wrong route on the Jets' game-finishing interception. He's likely on the trade block with Davante Adams on the team.

63.Xavier Hutchinson HOU at GB
64.*Sterling Shepard TB vs. BAL

78.Noah Brown WAS vs. CAR
79.*Marvin Harrison ARZ vs. LAC
Note: Suffered a concussion in the loss to the Packers.
80.*Rashid Shaheed NO vs. DEN
Note: Shaheed has missed the first two practices of the week with a knee injury.
81.*Chris Olave NO vs. DEN
Note: Olave suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Bucs. It's the fourth documented concussion for Olave dating back to college.
82.*Jayden Reed GB vs. HOU
Note: Reed's ankle will merit monitoring during practice this week.
83.*Dontayvion Wicks GB vs. HOU
Note: Wicks is week-to-week with a shoulder injury.
84.*Jakobi Meyers LV at LAR
85.*Malik Nabers NYG vs. PHI

Tight Ends

1.Trey McBride ARZ vs. LAC
2.George Kittle SF vs. KC
3.Travis Kelce KC at SF
4.*Brock Bowers LV at LAR
Note: Bowers had 10 targets while the Raiders played without Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers (ankle). Now that Adams is gone, Bowers' target share is pretty well locked in.

7.Dalton Kincaid BUF vs. TEN
8.Kyle Pitts ATL vs. SEA
9.Tucker Kraft GB vs. HOU
10.Pat Freiermuth PIT vs. NYJ
11.Cade Otton TB vs. BAL
12.Dalton Schultz HOU at GB
13.*Mark Andrews BAL at TB
Note: Andrews had his first target bounce off his hands for an interception, but he rebounded to catch three passes for 66 yards and a touchdown. The snap count is still relatively low, but there are some positive signs and the Ravens might be in a shootout with the Bucs.
14.*David Njoku CLE vs. CIN
Note: Njoku could be the Browns' top targeted pass-catcher, so long as he can stay on the field.
15.Hunter Henry NE at JAX
16.Isaiah Likely BAL at TB
17.Zach Ertz WAS vs. CAR
18.Colby Parkinson LA vs. LV

39.Evan Engram JAC vs. NE

43.*Tyreek Hill MIA at IND
Note: I think that the Dolphins will have used the bye week to find some ways to free up Hill even with Huntley at QB.

49.Diontae Johnson CAR at WAS
50.Christian Watson GB vs. HOU
51.Bucky Irving TB vs. BAL
52.*Ray Davis BUF vs. TEN

53.*Chase Brown CIN at CLE
Note: Brown took over the lead back duties against the Giants on Sunday night, but draws a tough assignment against the Browns this week.

55.Raheem Mostert MIA at IND

10.Evan McPherson CIN at CLE
11.Joshua Karty LA vs. LV
12.Austin Seibert WAS vs. CAR
13.Jake Bates DET at MIN
14.*Matthew Wright SF vs. KC
Note: Wright hurt his shoulder in the win over the Seahawks, but he expects to be available if needed this week. Just in case neither Wright nor Jake Moody (who is likely out for a month due to an ankle injury) can't go, the Niners signed Anders Carlson to their practice squad.
15.Greg Zuerlein NYJ at PIT
16.Chase McLaughlin TB vs. BAL
17.Jason Myers SEA at ATL
18.*Brandon McManus GB vs. HOU
Note: The Packers signed McManus to replace Brayden Narveson.

26.Blake Grupe NO vs. DEN
27.Nick Folk TEN at BUF
28.Eddy Pineiro CAR at WAS
29.*Greg Joseph NYG vs. PHI

30.*Chad Ryland ARZ vs. LAC
Note: Ryland was added permanently to the 53-man roster from the Cardinals' practice squad, with Matt Prater (knee) heading to the IR list.
31.*Jake Moody SF vs. KC
32.*Graham Gano NYG vs. PHI
Note: The Giants don't yet know if Gano (hamstring) can come off the IR this week, but he's eligible.
33.*Anders Carlson at
34.*Matt Prater ARZ vs. LAC
Note: Prater (knee) has been placed on IR.

Defenses

1.Buffalo Bills vs. TEN
2.Denver Broncos at NO
3.*Los Angeles Rams vs. LV
Note: The Rams are another lousy defense with a great matchup, but at least they're coming off the bye.
4.Pittsburgh Steelers vs. NYJ
5.Philadelphia Eagles at NYG
6.New Orleans Saints vs. DEN
7.New York Jets at PIT
8.*Cincinnati Bengals at CLE
Note: The Bengals' defense is getting healthier, and they're facing a historically bad Browns offense. And yet, I'm still not super confident that the Bengals' defense will produce.
9.*Jacksonville Jaguars vs. NE
Note: On one hand, Drake Maye is playing behind a horrible offensive line and turned it over thrice last week. On the other hand, the Jaguars are terrible.
10.Los Angeles Chargers at ARI
11.Indianapolis Colts vs. MIA
12.Atlanta Falcons vs. SEA
13.Washington Commanders vs. CAR
14.Baltimore Ravens at TB
