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. All the position rankings will be updated twice per week, once on Wednesday night, once on Friday night.

Quarterback

1.	Drew Brees NO vs. KC Note: The fantasy production is there, even though the Saints' offense has looked out of sorts and he just threw a bad pick-six against Carolina. (Ankle) Full practice Wednesday. Listed as probable. *
2.	Cam Newton CAR vs. NYG
3.	Tom Brady NE at Bal Note: Sacked four times last week, and he was beat up a little by Tennessee as well. Will be without Aaron Hernandez, but there are still plenty of weapons for Brady to work with.
4.	Aaron Rodgers GB at Sea
5.	Robert Griffin WAS vs. Cin Note: Massive day fueled by his feet. Called his own number on one of the touchdown runs.
6.	Matthew Stafford DET at Ten Note: Much nicer matchup this week against Tennessee.
7.	Tony Romo DAL vs. TB
8.	Eli Manning NYG at Car Note: Shades of last season - the defense was terrible, and Manning helped dig that hole to begin with, but Manning is

2.	Cam Newton CAR vs. NYG
3.	Tom Brady NE at Bal Note: Sacked four times last week, and he was beat up a little by Tennessee as well. Will be without Aaron Hernandez, but there are still plenty of weapons for Brady to work with.
4.	Aaron Rodgers GB at Sea
5.	Robert Griffin WAS vs. Cin Note: Massive day fueled by his feet. Called his own number on one of the touchdown runs.
6.	Matthew Stafford DET at Ten Note: Much nicer matchup this week against Tennessee.
7.	Tony Romo DAL vs. TB
8.	Eli Manning NYG at Car Note: Shades of last season - the defense was terrible, and Manning helped dig that hole to begin with, but Manning is going to be throwing a lot this season. Moved down a few notches with Nicks, Bradshaw and Hixon out.
9.	Jay Cutler CHI vs. StL
10.	Philip Rivers SD vs. Atl
11.	Matt Ryan ATL at SD
12.	Alex Smith SF at Min
13.	Michael Vick PHI at Ari Note: Again, the fantasy production outpaced his real life performance. And also once again, the Eagles won despite his mistakes.
14.	Matt Cassel KC at NO Note: Garbage time production counts the same as production in close games.
15.	Andrew Luck IND vs. Jac
16.	Peyton Manning DEN vs. Hou Note: Do you buy Manning's assertion that the INT's in the first quarter were a product of poor reads or is arm strength still an issue here?
17.	Ryan Fitzpatrick BUF at Cle
18.	Andy Dalton CIN at Was
19.	Josh Freeman TB at Dal
20.	Ben Roethlisberger PIT at Oak
21.	Jake Locker TEN vs. Det
22.	Matt Schaub HOU at Den Note: Schaub is just being asked to be a game-manager, though at some point the Texans will play against a real offense and might have to throw more.
23.	Brandon Weeden CLE vs. Buf Note: What a difference a week makes.
24.	Russell Wilson SEA vs. GB Note: Wasn't asked to do too much, after the game got out of hand early in the third quarter.
25.	Joe Flacco BAL vs. NE
26.	Carson Palmer OAK vs. Pit Note: Palmer threw 48 passes Sunday, but rarely is he going downfield to the wideouts. The one touchdown came on Mike Goodson catching the ball out of the backfield.
27.	Christian Ponder MIN vs. SF
28.	Blaine Gabbert JAC at Ind Note: Glute muscle forced him out late in the squash loss to the Texans, but he's expected to play this week. Able to practice this week.*
29.	Sam Bradford STL at Chi Note: Had a tremendous game despite the losses on the offensive line.
30.	Mark Sanchez NYJ at Mia Note: Receiving treatment for lower back soreness, but still able to practice. Practiced fully all week. *
31.	Kevin Kolb ARZ vs. Phi Note: Because the Cardinals won, Kolb's performance looks better than it was - only 140 yards passing on 27 attempts. He just managed to avoid turning the ball over. With John Skelton not practicing yet, Kolb has job security for another week.*
32.	Ryan Tannehill MIA vs. NYJ Note: Tannehill and Brandon Weeden demonstrated what a difference a matchup makes.

Running Backs

1.	C.J. Spiller BUF at Cle
2.	Arian Foster HOU at Den
3.	Maurice Jones-Drew JAC at Ind
4.	LeSean McCoy PHI at Ari
5.	Ray Rice BAL vs. NE
6.	Trent Richardson CLE vs. Buf Note: This is the back the Browns thought that they were getting by drafting him so high.
7.	Reggie Bush MIA vs. NYJ
8.	Marshawn Lynch SEA vs. GB Note: (Back) Full practice Friday. *
9.	Doug Martin TB at Dal
10.	Michael Bush CHI vs. StL Note: Matt Forte is officially out this week. *
11.	Alfred Morris WAS vs. Cin
12.	Darren McFadden OAK vs. Pit Note: Having a hard time finding running room, though at least he's a big part of the passing game.
13.	Adrian Peterson MIN vs. SF
14.	BenJarvus Green-Ellis CIN at Was Note: Had three receptions for 30 yards in addition to his carries. If he could replicate that each week, he'll rise above the rest of the perceived plodders.
15.	Frank Gore SF at Min
16.	DeMarco Murray DAL vs. TB
17.	Stevan Ridley NE at Bal
18.	Donald Brown IND vs. Jac
19.	*Andre Brown NYG at Car Note: Took over the carries after Ahmad Bradshaw got hurt, not David Wilson.
20.	Jamaal Charles KC at NO Note: Knee was bothering him against the Bills. Uh-oh. First indication from coach Romeo Crennel is that Charles will probably play. Full practices Wednesday and Thursday. Given the Saints' turnstile run-defense, I'm giving him a good bump back up. Full practice again Friday. *
21.	Chris Johnson TEN vs. Det Note: Two awful games in a row. Coach Mike Munchak had to give Johnson the dreaded vote of confidence that he wouldn't be benched.
22.	Ryan Mathews SD vs. Atl Note: (Shoulder) Expected to fully participate in practice Wednesday and should make his season debut this week against the Falcons. Practiced Wednesday, still on target to return. Full practice all week, officially listed as questionable, but expected to play this week. *
23.	Darren Sproles NO vs. KC Note: Sproles had 14 pass targets, yet no carries.
24.	DeAngelo Williams CAR vs. NYG Note: Bumped up because of Stewart's ankle and toe injuries.*
25.	*Michael Turner ATL at SD Note: Arrested on a DUI charge following Monday night's win over the Broncos.
26.	Ben Tate HOU at Den
27.	Willis McGahee DEN vs. Hou
28.	Cedric Benson GB at Sea
29.	*Shonn Greene NYJ at Mia Note: Suffered a head injury but returned to the game last week.
30.	Isaac Redman PIT at Oak
31.	*Daryl Richardson STL at Chi Note: Took over for Steven Jackson after Jackon got hurt and or got benched.
32.	Beanie Wells ARZ vs. Phi
33.	Pierre Thomas NO vs. KC
34.	Kevin Smith DET at Ten Note: Pedestrian game against the Niners, as expected. Now has to deal with the return of Mikel Leshoure. Still taking the first-team reps at running back.
35.	Peyton Hillis KC at NO
36.	*Mark Ingram NO vs. KC Note: Ingram had 16 carries and a one-yard touchdown last week after being on the field for just nine plays the week before.
37.	*Mikel Leshoure DET at Ten Note: Comes off suspension this week.
38.	Jonathan Dwyer PIT at Oak Note: Suffering from a turf toe injury. Able to practice Thursday. Listed as probable. *
39.	Ryan Williams ARZ vs. Phi Note: (Knee) Limited in practice Wednesday.*
40.	Kendall Hunter SF at Min
41.	Toby Gerhart MIN vs. SF
42.	Jacquizz Rodgers ATL at SD
43.	Jackie Battle SD vs. Atl
44.	*David Wilson NYG at Car Note: Buried behind Andre Brown even after Bradshaw got hurt. Just remember that what's true today in the NFL isn't necessary so tomorrow. I doubt that the Giants want to permanently set fire to a first-round draft pick.
45.	Danny Woodhead NE at Bal
46.	Bilal Powell NYJ at Mia
47.	Robert Turbin SEA vs. GB
48.	*Knowshon Moreno DEN vs. Hou Note: Lost a fumble Monday night and then lost carries to Lance Ball later in the game.
49.	Evan Royster WAS vs. Cin Note: Ever so slightly less buried than Helu right now.
50.	Daniel Thomas MIA vs. NYJ Note: (Concussion) Back in action, could be back as the #2 running back ahead of Lamar Miller. Full practice all week. *
51.	Lamar Miller MIA vs. NYJ Note: Ran well (10 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown) in relief of Reggie Bush. Could be marginalized despite a good game last week because Daniel Thomas is ready to return.*
52.	Bernard Scott CIN at Was Note: (Hand) Full practice Wednesday. Listed as probable. *
53.	LeGarrette Blount TB at Dal Note: Active but didn't get any touches in Week 2.
54.	Felix Jones DAL vs. TB
55.	Montario Hardesty CLE vs. Buf
56.	Shaun Draughn KC at NO
57.	Bryce Brown PHI at Ari Note: Passed Dion Lewis on the depth chart.
58.	Lance Ball DEN vs. Hou
59.	Steven Jackson STL at Chi Note: Left the game Sunday with a groin injury, and wasn't benched for his unsportsmanlike penalty. Or so the party line goes. Hasn't practiced yet this week, still hopes to play Sunday. Didn't practice again Friday, will be a game-time decision. *
60.	Bernard Pierce BAL vs. NE
61.	Mike Tolbert CAR vs. NYG Note: Touchdown count at 1 following Sunday's vulture score.
62.	Curtis Brinkley SD vs. Atl Note: Surpassed by Jackie Battle late in the game, not that it matters now if Mathews can play this week. (Knee) Limited in practice. Full practice Thursday & Friday. *
63.	Roy Helu WAS vs. Cin Note: No carries, only one catch last week.
64.	James Starks GB at Sea Note: (Toe) Expected to practice this week. Still questionable for Week 3. Limited in Thursday's practice. Limited again Friday. *
65.	Mike Goodson OAK vs. Pit Note: Didn't practice Friday due to a hamstring injury, listed as questionable. *
66.	Jason Snelling ATL at SD
67.	Joe McKnight NYJ at Mia
68.	Joique Bell DET at Ten
69.	Vick Ballard IND vs. Jac
70.	*Brandon Jackson CLE vs. Buf Note: Healthy scratch in Week 2.
71.	*Isaiah Pead STL at Chi Note: Can safely drop Pead now.
72.	*Ronnie Brown SD vs. Atl Note: Was a review away from scoring a touchdown, but now he's waiver wire fodder with Mathews returning and Battle taking over the top backup role.
73.	Keiland Williams DET at Ten
74.	Tashard Choice BUF at Cle
75.	LaRod Stephens-Howling ARZ vs. Phi
76.	Alex Green GB at Sea
77.	Taiwan Jones OAK vs. Pit Note: Limited by his rib injury last week. Still limited in practice. Listed as questionable, as is Goodson. *
78.	Brandon Jacobs SF at Min Note: (Knee) Didn't practice all week, listed as questionable. *
79.	*Delone Carter IND vs. Jac
80.	*Dion Lewis PHI at Ari Note: Healthy scratch, behind Bryce Brown on the depth chart.
81.	*Kahlil Bell CHI vs. StL Note: Re-signed by the Bears after Forte's injury.
82.	Rashad Jennings JAC at Ind Note: (Knee) Held out last week, some chance he could play this week. Not practicing yet. Listed as doubtful this week. *
83.	*LaMichael James SF at Min Note: Inactive last week.
84.	Shane Vereen NE at Bal Note: (Foot) Limited at practice all week, listed as questionable. *
85.	Javon Ringer TEN vs. Det Note: (Elbow) Practiced Wednesday, but admitted he needs work on his conditioning. Listed as questionable. *
86.	Matt Forte CHI vs. StL Note: Ankle sprain - but it's not a high ankle sprain. Missed practice so far, though Lovie Smith described him as improving. Officially out this week. *
87.	Jonathan Stewart CAR vs. NYG Note: Wasn't limited in Week 2, but limited in Monday's practice. Short week with the Thursday game. Didn't practice for the remainder of the week, game-time decision Thursday night.*
88.	Ahmad Bradshaw NYG at Car Note: Injured his neck in the win over the Bucs. Did not participate in Monday's walk-through. Officially out for Thursday night.*
89.	*Rashard Mendenhall PIT at Oak Note: (Knee) Won't make his debut until after the Steelers' bye week in Week 5.
90.	*Fred Jackson BUF at Cle Note: (LCL) Does not need surgery after taking a range-of-motion exam.

25.	Dez Bryant DAL vs. TB
26.	Greg Jennings GB at Sea Note: (Groin) Expected back this week. Isn't yet where the Packers want him to be at yet. This sounds ominous. Supposedly made a big jump in practice Saturday, but still listed as questionable. *
27.	Marques Colston NO vs. KC Note: Limited by his foot injury last week, and still limited in practice. Limited practice Friday, listed as questionable. *
28.	Brandon Lloyd NE at Bal Note: Limited in practice this week with a thigh injury. Still limited Friday, listed as questionable. *

31.	Eric Decker DEN vs. Hou
32.	Brian Hartline MIA vs. NYJ Note: Targeted 12 times against the Raiders, turned in a career-high 111 yards. * Could draw Revis this week. *
