This article is part of our Weekly Rankings series.
Sunday Update complete (8:40 a.m. PT)
No Thursday game, no Monday night game.
Quick survey of my readers - how many of you incorporate Week 17 in your league in some fashion? How so?
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: four 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 10:00 pm PT.
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?".

Quarterback
| 1. | Cam Newton CAR vs. TB Note: Really struggled against the Falcons' pass rush last week - Arizona and Seattle certainly noticed. |
| 2. | *Ben Roethlisberger PIT at Cle Note: (Illness) Listed as probable. |
| 3. | *Tom Brady NE at Mia Note: Patriots will have 'all hands on deck' for Week 17 as they try to lock up the first seed. |
| 4. | *Drew Brees NO at Atl Note: What a performance, essentially on one foot. Listed as probable for this week. |
| 5. | Eli Manning NYG vs. Phi |
| 6. | Blake Bortles JAC at Hou Note: Garbage Time All-Star. |
| 7. | Matthew Stafford DET at Chi |
| 8. | *Carson Palmer ARZ vs. Sea Note: (Finger) Listed as probable. |
| 9. | *Matt Ryan ATL vs. NO Note: Took a shot to the hip last week, but is expected to practice Wednesday. Listed as probable. |
| 10. | Aaron Rodgers GB vs. Min Note: The Packers' offensive line looks worse each week. |
| 11. | *Ryan Fitzpatrick NYJ at Buf Note: Listed as probable with thumb, elbow and back injuries. |
| 12. | Sam Bradford PHI at NYG |
| 13. | *Brian Hoyer HOU vs. Jax Note: If he clears the concussion protocol, he'll start this week. Officially cleared from the concussion protocol, will start this week. |
| 14. | *Russell Wilson SEA at Ari Note: Some possibility that the Seahawks could shut it down in the second half. |
| 15. | Alex Smith KC vs. Oak |
| 16. | *Tyrod Taylor BUF vs. NYJ Note: (Shoulder) Listed as probable. |
| 17. | *Brock Osweiler DEN vs. SD Note: Already named the starter for Week 17. |
| 18. | Jay Cutler CHI vs. Det |
| 19. | *Ryan Tannehill MIA vs. NE Note: Suffered a leg injury in the loss to the Colts. He has awful pocket awareness, but his OL also has awful pocket creation skills. They had a very creative 'block no one' blitz pickup scheme on the final play of the game. Listed as probable. |
| 20. | Teddy Bridgewater MIN at GB |
| 21. | Jameis Winston TB at Car |
| 22. | *AJ McCarron CIN vs. Bal Note: Suffered a sprained left wrist in the overtime loss to the Broncos, but at first glance appears able to play this week. Listed as probable. |
| 23. | Philip Rivers SD at Den |
| 24. | Derek Carr OAK at KC |
| 25. | Case Keenum STL at SF |
| 26. | *Zach Mettenberger TEN at Ind Note: ***Will get another start this week.*** |
| 27. | Ryan Mallett BAL at Cin |
| 28. | Kellen Moore DAL vs. Was |
| 29. | Blaine Gabbert SF vs. StL |
| 30. | *Kirk Cousins WAS at Dal Note: Potentially could be rested. Will start the game, but it's a very good bet he'll be rested, perhaps early. |
| 31. | *Austin Davis CLE vs. Pit Note: Starting with Johnny Manziel out. |
| 32. | *Colt McCoy WAS at Dal |
| 33. | *Josh Freeman IND vs. Ten Note: Signed by the Colts for Week 17. The Colts haven't named a starter yet - Freeman and Lindley split first-team reps in Friday's practice. ***Leading candidate to start, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.*** |
| 34. | *Ryan Lindley IND vs. Ten Note: Signed by the Colts for Week 17. The Colts haven't named a starter yet - Freeman and Lindley split first-team reps in Friday's practice. |
| 35. | *Peyton Manning DEN vs. SD Note: (Foot) Osweiler has already been named the starter for Week 17. Full practice Thursday, could be in uniform this week. |
| 36. | *Stephen Morris IND vs. Ten Note: The leading candidate to start for the Colts this week. Charlie Whitehurst (hamstring) has been placed on IR. The Colts haven't named a starter yet - Freeman and Lindley split first-team reps in Friday's practice. |
| 37. | *Johnny Manziel CLE vs. Pit Note: Manziel's mobility prevented him from having a completely lost day against the Chiefs. He should do better in a home matchup against the Steelers, if the moralizing Browns and Mike Pettine let him. Out with a concussion. |
| 38. | *Andy Dalton CIN vs. Bal Note: (Thumb) Still a few weeks away from returning. Has a doctor's appointment for Monday to see if his cast can come off. |
| 39. | *Andrew Luck IND vs. Ten Note: (Kidney) Seems unlikely to play, given that the Colts just signed both Josh Freeman and Ryan Lindley. Both Hasselbeck and Luck have been ruled out this week. |
| 40. | *Marcus Mariota TEN at Ind Note: (Knee) Has not yet been ruled out for Week 17, but why would you bring him back if there's any question at all? Declared out again this week. |
| 41. | *Matt Hasselbeck IND vs. Ten Note: Sprained AC Joint in his right shoulder, unlikely to play in Week 17. Both Hasselbeck and Luck have been ruled out this week. |
Running Backs
| 1. | *Adrian Peterson MIN at GB Note: (Ankle) Unlikely to be benched in the fourth quarter this week. Listed as probable with both an ankle and shoulder injury. |
| 2. | *Devonta Freeman ATL vs. NO Note: (Knee) Limited practice throughout the week, but listed as probable. |
| 3. | DeAngelo Williams PIT at Cle |
| 4. | Tim Hightower NO at Atl |
| 5. | Darren McFadden DAL vs. Was |
| 6. | David Johnson ARZ vs. Sea |
| 7. | Doug Martin TB at Car Note: Lost two more fumbles against the Bears, giving him five on the season. |
| 8. | Charcandrick West KC vs. Oak |
| 9. | Javorius Allen BAL at Cin |
| 10. | *Eddie Lacy GB vs. Min Note: (Rib) Listed as probable. |
| 11. | Latavius Murray OAK at KC |
| 12. | DeMarco Murray PHI at NYG Note: Call it a hunch that he gets extensive work this week now that Chip Kelly has been fired. |
| 13. | Denard Robinson JAC at Hou |
| 14. | *Chris Ivory NYJ at Buf Note: Left with an injury for a portion of the game against the Pats. (Knee) Listed as probable, in better shape than Bilal Powell. |
| 15. | Christine Michael SEA at Ari |
| 16. | Lamar Miller MIA vs. NE |
| 17. | Frank Gore IND vs. Ten |
| 18. | *Cameron Artis-Payne CAR vs. TB Note: Ran well, albeit infrequently, last week against the Falcons. Both Stewart and Whittaker are out this week, so Artis-Payne and Tolbert will split most of the work. Brandon Wegher will also be active. |
| 19. | *Tre Mason STL at SF Note: Expected to start with Todd Gurley listed as doubtful. |
| 20. | *Matt Forte CHI vs. Det Note: (Back) Limited in practice all week, listed as questionable. |
