***BYE WEEKS - Atlanta, Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Tennessee. First posted Tuesday, 10/28. Updated Sunday, 11/2***

Jeff Erickson is at a conference this week so Vlad Sedler is taking over for Week 9. Be gentle.

Here are our rankings for the coming week at each position to help you decide your starting lineup. Our rankings are based on the following scoring system: three points for a passing touchdown; six points for a rushing/receiving touchdown; one point for every 20 passing yards; and one point for every 10 rushing/receiving yards. Flex Rankings are for PPR leagues.

Typically, this article will be posted on Tuesday evenings, roughly around 8:00 pm PT. ***These are not draft rankings. They are solely for the given week of the season.***

I will update these during the week, usually twice per week to account for injury or other news during practice. The timing of those updates will vary based on the news at hand and my schedule for the given week. But the first of those updates usually won't happen until Thursday. At any rate, I will post a "last updated" note at the top of the article, or an "update in progress" note if it's while I'm doing it.

By all means, if you want to discuss a rank, or want me to add a player, chime in on the comments. I try to be receptive to your feedback and try to respond to most comments, though on occasion the volume can be quite thick. Please refer to the rankings first when asking "should I start Player A vs. Player B?".

30.	Josh McCown TB at Cle

Running Backs

1.	Arian Foster HOU vs. Phi
2.	*DeMarco Murray DAL vs. Ari Note: Murray has triple-digit rushing yards in every game this year. Cardinals limit running backs to a league-low 3.3 YPC. When immovable forces collide.
3.	Le'Veon Bell PIT vs. Bal
4.	LeSean McCoy PHI at Hou

7.	Andre Ellington ARZ at Dal
8.	Ahmad Bradshaw IND at NYG
9.	Mark Ingram NO at Car
10.	Lamar Miller MIA vs. SD
11.	*Shane Vereen NE vs. Den Note: If Belichick continues to alternate Vereen with Gray the way he did with Ridley, it's Vereen's turn. 40% chance of snow Sunday may dictate a battle on the ground.

13.	Jerick McKinnon MIN vs. Was
14.	Jeremy Hill CIN vs. Jax
15.	Chris Ivory NYJ at KC
16.	*Denard Robinson JAC at Cin Note: Robinson has run away with the starting job running for 100+ over his last two games. The Bengals allow 141 rushing yards-per-game (fourth worst mark in NFL).
17.	Ronnie Hillman DEN at NE Note: Hillman 'landed funny' on his shoulder in practice on Wednesday. Limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday but should be fine by game time.Hillman was a full-go at practice Friday, looks fine for the weekend.*
18.	Alfred Morris WAS at Min
19.	Justin Forsett BAL at Pit Note: Forsett has been incredibly efficient (5.5 YPC), but was vultured twice at the goal-line by Taliaferro in Week 8.Forsett practiced Friday and listed as probable.*
20.	Branden Oliver SD at Mia
21.	Ben Tate CLE vs. TB
22.	Bobby Rainey TB at Cle Note: Bobby Rainey is an intriguing Flex start and potential value play in weekly leagues given how incredibly inefficient Doug Martin has been this year.Rainey should be the lead back this weekend with Sims helping out on passing downs*

24.	Jonathan Stewart CAR vs. NO
25.	Andre Williams NYG vs. Ind
26.	Travaris Cadet NO at Car

31.	Trent Richardson IND at NYG
32.	*Juwan Thompson DEN at NE Note: Thompson played the Mike Tolbert role in Week 8, scoring on both of his goal-line carries. He's a versatile and physical player who was dubbed
33.	Charles Sims TB at Cle Note: (Ankle) - Eligible to be activated off IR any day now, fantasy owners and Bucs' fans eagerly await this week's waiver wire darling to resurrect their rushing attack. That's a lot to ask of someone who has yet to play an NFL snap.*Sims has been activated. He was a receiving threat in college and should assist in the screen game.*
34.	*Isaiah Crowell CLE vs. TB Note: Crowell received only one carry against the Raiders last week.
35.	Lorenzo Taliaferro BAL at Pit
36.	Benny Cunningham STL at SF
37.	Alfred Blue HOU vs. Phi

52.	*Bilal Powell NYJ at KC Note: Powell received one more carry than Chris Johnson in Week 8 (4-3).

74.	*Pierre Thomas NO at Car Note: (Rib/Shoulder) - Thomas did not practice on Tuesday.
75.	*Fozzy Whittaker CAR vs. NO Note: (Thigh) - Whittaker missed last game and may be a healthy scratch with De'Angelo Williams back in the mix. The Panthers parted ways with Darrin Reaves on Tuesday.
76.	*Ryan Mathews SD at Mia Note: (Knee) - Mathews is inching towards a return to action, though the Chargers may play it safe and hold him out until after their Week 10 bye.

Wide Receivers

1.	Dez Bryant DAL vs. Ari
2.	Antonio Brown PIT vs. Bal
3.	Demaryius Thomas DEN at NE
4.	Jeremy Maclin PHI at Hou
5.	T.Y. Hilton IND at NYG
6.	Emmanuel Sanders DEN at NE
7.	A.J. Green CIN vs. Jax Note: (Toe) - Green expects to play in Week 9. A matchup against the Jags is a great way to get back into the swing of things.Green is listed as questionable but is on track to play barring any pre-game setbacks.Green slated to play*

9.	Mike Wallace MIA vs. SD
10.	Andre Johnson HOU vs. Phi
11.	Steve Smith BAL at Pit

16.	Larry Fitzgerald ARZ at Dal
17.	Rueben Randle NYG vs. Ind
18.	*Mike Evans TB at Cle Note: Evans caught 4-of-7 targets for a career-high 78 yards on Sunday and should receive more targets going forward.

30.	Marques Colston NO at Car
31.	*Dwayne Bowe KC vs. NYJ Note: Bowe has no TDs on the year and has only surpassed 80 yards in two of his last 30 regular season games but gets a juicy matchup with a Jets squad that allows 2.75 passing TDs a game this year.
32.	*Andrew Hawkins CLE vs. TB Note: Hawkins found the end-zone for the first time on Sunday and has an even 200 receiving yards in his last two games. Will be even more heavily relied upon with Cameron out.

43.	*Andre Holmes OAK at Sea Note: Downgrade Holmes if you think Richard Sherman will stick to him for most of the game.
44.	Malcom Floyd SD at Mia
45.	Kenny Britt STL at SF Note: Britt figures to benefit the most from Brian Quick's season-ending injury - for whatever that's worth in the Rams' sub par passing game.Britt is probable, but appears ready to go for Sunday.*

47.	Jarvis Landry MIA vs. SD

55.	*Stedman Bailey STL at SF Note: Bailey and Chris Givens will step in to take the place of Brian Quick who is out for the season. Bailey has better long term potential.

63.	Paul Richardson SEA vs. Oak
64.	Andre Roberts WAS at Min
65.	*Marqise Lee JAC at Cin Note: Lee was on the field for just 23 snaps against the Dolphins. He's currently the fourth passing option behind Robinson, Shorts and Harbor but his long term upside remains high.

69.	Brice Butler OAK at Sea

85.	Jason Avant CAR vs. NO
86.	*Donnie Avery KC vs. NYJ Note: (Groin) - Avery has already been ruled out for the game.

Tight Ends

1.	*Rob Gronkowski NE vs. Den Note: Three touchdowns last week, ho-hum. Healthy Gronk is back.
2.	Julius Thomas DEN at NE
3.	Greg Olsen CAR vs. NO Note: The Saints have only allowed one tight end touchdown, but have yet to face a TE of Olsen's caliber this year.
4.	*Jimmy Graham NO at Car Note: A limited Graham is still a better option than two-thirds of the league's tight ends.
5.	Jordan Reed WAS at Min
6.	Dwayne Allen IND at NYG
7.	*Travis Kelce KC vs. NYJ Note: Jets have allowed the most touchdowns to tight ends this year (9). His ribs didn't seem to bother him last week and he led the Chiefs in targets (6).
8.	*Antonio Gates SD at Mia Note: Six of Gates' nine TDs this year have come at home. Last three years: 11-of-18 at home. He's on the road this week.
9.	Vernon Davis SF vs. StL
10.	Larry Donnell NYG vs. Ind
11.	Zach Ertz PHI at Hou
12.	Jason Witten DAL vs. Ari
13.	Heath Miller PIT vs. Bal
14.	Clay Harbor JAC at Cin
15.	Jace Amaro NYJ at KC
16.	Jared Cook STL at SF
17.	Jermaine Gresham CIN vs. Jax
18.	*Austin Seferian-Jenkins TB at Cle Note: ASJ must be battling fellow rookie tight end Jace Amaro in some sort of 'drop-off'. So much potential as a big red zone target, but can't catch the ball
19.	Owen Daniels BAL at Pit Note: (Knee) - Daniels is a game-time decision. The Ravens and Steelers kickoff Sunday night at 8:30pm EST, so unless you're using Miller, Crockett (SNF) or Allen, Fleener or Donnell (MNF) at TE, Daniels is risky to wait on.*
20.	Coby Fleener IND at NYG
21.	Charles Clay MIA vs. SD
22.	Niles Paul WAS at Min
23.	Tim Wright NE vs. Den
24.	Ladarius Green SD at Mia
25.	Cooper Helfet SEA vs. Oak
26.	*Jim Dray CLE vs. TB Note: Found the end zone last week, but don't expect this Sunday to be 'Dray-Day', even if Cameron is out.
27.	*Mychal Rivera OAK at Sea Note: If Rivera matches or surpasses his career high 83 yards from Week 8 this week, I will retire from playing fantasy football.
28.	Luke Willson SEA vs. Oak

38.	Dion Sims MIA vs. SD
39.	Anthony Fasano KC vs. NYJ
40.	Derek Carrier SF vs. StL
41.	Jordan Cameron CLE vs. TB Note: (Concussion) - Cameron's prognosis for Week 9 does not look good. Cameron has been ruled out. Dray and Barnidge are not ideal substitutes.*

Kickers

1.	Stephen Gostkowski NE vs. Den
2.	*Dan Bailey DAL vs. Ari Note: Note: A measly one point in Week 8, but opportunities may come a-plenty this week if Cardinals' run defense and/or Weeden stall offensive drives.
3.	Nick Novak SD at Mia
4.	Adam Vinatieri IND at NYG
5.	Phil Dawson SF vs. StL
6.	*Brandon McManus DEN at NE Note: Note: Manning's effectiveness is McManus owners' worst nightmare, but a potentially sloppy game in Boston snow (40% chance) can hinder that efficiency.
7.	Steven Hauschka SEA vs. Oak
8.	Chandler Catanzaro ARZ at Dal
9.	Justin Tucker BAL at Pit
10.	*Randy Bullock HOU vs. Phi Note: Note: Bullock feels underrated in fantasy circles. Had his second straight double-digit scoring week and is now 15-for-17 on field goal attempts.
11.	Cairo Santos KC vs. NYJ
12.	Cody Parkey PHI at Hou
13.	Shayne Graham NO at Car
