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 PPR scoring system. Each player has Walterfootball.com's projected stats and standard scoring points.

  10. DeVonta Smith, WR, Eagles (vs. Jaguars)- 19 Points

  11. Zay Flowers, WR, Ravens (at Falcons)- 19 Points
    5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Zay Flowers will be healthier this week in a great matchup, but Lamar Jackson's status is huge.

    Michael Wilson is the clear-cut top receiver on the team.

  13. Drake London, WR, Falcons (vs. Ravens)- 18 Points

  20. Jaylen Waddle, WR, Broncos (at Chargers)- 14 Points
    5 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    Jaylen Waddle is a pyramid scheme, so I won't love him most weeks.

  21. Denzel Boston, WR, Browns (at Jets)- 14 Points
    3 Catches, 50 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Denzel Boston is a great talent, but he'll be inconsistent because of Deshaun Watson.

    3 Catches, 50 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.

    5 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    Luther Burden is the receiver to own in Chicago.

  31. Malik Nabers, WR, Giants (at Redskins)- 11 Points

    5 Catches, 50 Receiving Yards.
    Khalil Shakir apparently needs D.J. Moore to get hurt.

    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    Keon Coleman can be started if D.J. Moore is out again.

  46. Tre Harris, WR, Chargers (vs. Broncos)- 9 Points
    3 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    Tre Harris could be worth starting if Ladd McConkey is out again.
