1. Lamar Jackson (BAL) — @ IND
2. Joe Burrow (CIN) — vs TB
3. Justin Herbert (LAC) — vs ARI
4. Jalen Hurts (PHI) — vs WAS
5. Jared Goff (DET) — vs NO

18. Bo Nix (DEN) — @ KC
19. Kyler Murray (MIN) — vs GB
20. Brock Purdy (SF) — @ LAR

Jared Goff is in a smash spot at home against the Saints in a game that has shootout potential. Detroit should be able to move the ball consistently, and Goff’s efficiency indoors gives him one of the strongest ceilings on the slate.

Running Backs

1. Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) — vs NO
2. Ashton Jeanty (LV) — vs MIA
3. Saquon Barkley (PHI) — vs WAS
4. Chase Brown (CIN) — vs TB

9. Javonte Williams (DAL) — @ NYG
10. Christian McCaffrey (SF) — @ LAR
11. Jonathan Taylor (IND) — vs BAL
12. James Cook III (BUF) — @ HOU
13. Kenneth Walker III (KC) — vs DEN

29. J.K. Dobbins (DEN) — @ KC
30. Jordan Mason (MIN) — vs GB
31. Jaylen Warren (PIT) — vs ATL
32. Kenny Gainwell (TB) — @ CIN
33. MarShawn Lloyd (GB) — @ MIN
34. Blake Corum (LAR) — vs SF
35. Chris Rodriguez Jr. (JAC) — vs CLE
36. Rachaad White (WAS) — @ PHI
37. RJ Harvey (DEN) — @ KC
38. Jacory Croskey-Merritt (WAS) — @ PHI
39. Aaron Jones Sr. (MIN) — vs GB
40. Jonathon Brooks (CAR) — vs CHI

Ashton Jeanty is in a great spot to pile up rushing production against the Dolphins. Miami’s defense looks vulnerable on the ground, and Jeanty should have the volume and explosiveness to take advantage if the Raiders can stay on schedule offensively.

Wide Receivers

1. Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET) — vs NO
2. Ja’Marr Chase (CIN) — vs TB
3. Chris Olave (NO) — @ DET

7. Puka Nacua (LAR) — vs SF
8. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA) — vs NE
9. Ladd McConkey (LAC) — vs ARI
10. Zay Flowers (BAL) — @ IND
11. Justin Jefferson (MIN) — vs GB
12. George Pickens (DAL) — @ NYG
13. Emeka Egbuka (TB) — @ CIN
14. Tee Higgins (CIN) — vs TB
15. Nico Collins (HOU) — vs BUF
16. Jaylen Waddle (DEN) — @ KC
17. Garrett Wilson (NYJ) — @ TEN

50. KC Concepcion (CLE) — @ JAC

Tight Ends

1. Trey McBride (ARI) — @ LAC
2. Sam LaPorta (DET) — vs NO
3. Colston Loveland (CHI) — @ CAR
4. Tyler Warren (IND) — vs BAL
5. Tucker Kraft (GB) — @ MIN
6. Isaiah Likely (NYG) — vs DAL
7. Michael Mayer (LV) — vs MIA
8. Dallas Goedert (PHI) — vs WAS
9. Juwan Johnson (NO) — @ DET
10. Kyle Pitts Sr. (ATL) — @ PIT
11. Harold Fannin Jr. (CLE) — @ JAC
12. Travis Kelce (KC) — vs DEN
13. Jake Ferguson (DAL) — @ NYG
14. Dalton Kincaid (BUF) — @ HOU
15. Hunter Henry (NE) — @ SEA
16. Mark Andrews (BAL) — @ IND
17. Terrance Ferguson (LAR) — vs SF
18. AJ Barner (SEA) — vs NE
19. Dalton Schultz (HOU) — vs BUF
20. Brenton Strange (JAC) — vs CLE

Michael Mayer has a chance to show what he can do with Brock Bowers out of the lineup. With more routes and targets available, Mayer should have a much bigger role against Miami and has a real opportunity to turn that increased volume into a breakout fantasy performance.

How to Set Your Fantasy Lineup with Rankings

Start with Positional Ranks

Begin by using my positional rankings when you’re deciding between two players. That will show you how each player compares to others at the same position. After that, refer to my FLEX rankings to see how they stack up regardless of position.

Keep in mind that tight ends are intentionally ranked lower in the FLEX rankings because they lose much of their positional advantage there. Since tight end is typically the shallowest position in fantasy football, using one in a FLEX spot reduces the value that comes from having an edge over your opponents at that position.

Consider the Game Script

After consulting the rankings, you want to consider the projected game scripts. Check the spread and implied totals for each team. If you’re torn on two players who are ranked similarly, start the player on the team projected to score more points.

You may also check the pace of play for each team. Teams that play faster will have more opportunities to pad their stats. While this factor is baked into the ranks, it’s still good to check when torn between two players.

Use the Stack as a Tiebreaker

If you’re debating between two wide receivers, but one is tied to your quarterback, always select that one. This raises your weekly upside because the two players have a strong correlation, which means that their fantasy production aligns with each other.

For example, suppose I’m debating between DeVonta Smith and Deebo Samuel at my FLEX spot, but I have Jalen Hurts as my quarterback.

In that case, I may consider going with Smith, even though he’s ranked lower than Samuel. This is because if Hurts is playing well, there’s a good chance that Smith will join in on the fun.

Best DFS Sites Where You Can Use Fantasy Football Rankings

Two of the best sites to play DFS are FanDuel and OwnersBox. The former has several large-field tournaments where you can hit a big payout, while the latter has innovative features, like a SuperFlex format. This is a feature that sets OwnersBox apart from the competition.

When using the rankings, be sure to consider your lineup construction. You want your lineup to have a stack (quarterback plus two teammates) along with a “bring-back," which is when you add in an opposing player.

An example is Dak Prescott with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. I could bring it back with Jayden Reed as an opposing pass-catcher. Always consider your lineup construction in conjunction with my rankings.
