Walt19 mins
To differentiate between all the “Start ‘Ems” on my Fantasy Football Start Em, Sit Em page, you can check out the Weekly Fantasy Football Rankings, so you can figure out whom to start between Player X and Player Y.

Below are my fantasy WR rankings and a set of links for my positional Weekly NFL Fantasy Football Rankings. Keep in mind that this list is for this week only; not the entire rest of the season.

The rankings are based on a Traditional scoring system. Each player has Walterfootball.com’s projected stats and standard scoring points.

    6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.

    5 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Malik Nabers has a great matchup, but you have to worry about the quarterbacking.

  21. Jayden Reed, WR, Packers (vs. Saints)- 11 Points

    6 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Khalil Shakir is in another positive matchup.

  34. Michael Pittman, WR, Colts (vs. Titans)- 7 Points

    4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Tank Dell isn’t quite 100 percent, but he’s a solid option this week.
