Fantasy Football Rankings FAQ

What Are the Fantasy Football Rankings for This Week?

Our weekly fantasy football rankings sort the top quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends based on their outlook for the current NFL week. The rankings account for factors such as matchup, expected workload, recent performance, injuries and projected game environment.

How Should I Use These Fantasy Football Rankings?

Fantasy football rankings can help with difficult start/sit decisions by comparing players across each position. If you're deciding between multiple options for one lineup spot, you can use the rankings as a guide while also considering your league's scoring format and roster settings.

What Scoring Format Are These Fantasy Football Rankings For?

These rankings are designed for half-PPR (point-per-reception) fantasy football leagues. Players who generate significant receiving volume can therefore carry additional value compared to standard-scoring formats.

When Should I Set My Fantasy Football Lineup on Sunday?

It's a good idea to check your fantasy lineup Sunday morning and again before kickoff. NFL teams typically announce inactive players 90 minutes before their scheduled kickoff, making the period leading up to each game important for monitoring injuries and making final start/sit decisions.
