Fantasy Weekly Rankings

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 RB 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.

Christian McCaffrey, RB, Panthers (at Texans)- 30 Points
80 Rushing Yards, 8 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Christian McCaffrey is a top choice every week.
Derrick Henry, RB, Titans (vs. Colts)- 24 Points
120 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The Colts are better versus the run than the pass, but stopping Derrick Henry will be a challenge.
Dalvin Cook, RB, Vikings (vs. Seahawks)- 24 Points
100 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
We just saw what Derrick Henry did to the Seahawks, but Dalvin Cook might be banged up.
Aaron Jones, RB, Packers (at 49ers)- 23 Points
90 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The 49ers did well versus Miles Sanders last week.
Saquon Barkley, RB, Giants (vs. Falcons)- 21 Points
80 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Saquon Barkley played way more snaps last week. He could be close to 100 percent with the extended rest period.
Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints (at Patriots)- 21 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Alvin Kamara will find it tough to run on New England.
Austin Ekeler, RB, Chargers (at Chiefs)- 20 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Austin Ekeler's high reception total in Week 2 had to appease fantasy owners.
Najee Harris, RB, Steelers (vs. Bengals)- 19 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Pittsburgh's run blocking is extremely lackluster.
Elijah Mitchell, RB, 49ers (vs. Packers)- 18 Points
110 Rushing Yards, 1 TD.
Elijah Mitchell has a terrific matchup.
David Montgomery, RB, Bears (at Browns)- 18 Points
70 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
David Montgomery is involved in the passing game, so he'll produce even if the Browns shut him down on the ground.
Joe Mixon, RB, Bengals (at Steelers)- 17 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The Steelers are still stout versus the run.
Nick Chubb, RB, Browns (vs. Bears)- 17 Points
90 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The Bears are tougher versus the run than the pass, but Nick Chubb could still score a couple of touchdowns.
Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys (vs. Eagles)- 17 Points
70 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Ezekiel Elliott is losing touches to Tony Pollard.
Antonio Gibson, RB, Redskins (at Bills)- 17 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The Bills have been great versus the run so far.
Jonathan Taylor, RB, Colts (at Titans)- 16 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Tennessee has been stout versus the run so far.
Miles Sanders, RB, Eagles (at Cowboys)- 15 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Miles Sanders figures to rebound this week.
Damien Harris, RB, Patriots (vs. Saints)- 15 Points
90 Rushing Yards, 1 TD.
Damien Harris bounced back well from his fumble, and he should continue to thrive.
Chris Carson, RB, Seahawks (at Vikings)- 14 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Minnesota is pretty tough versus the run.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, Chiefs (vs. Chargers)- 13 Points
80 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.
The Chargers can't stop the run.
James Robinson, RB, Jaguars (vs. Cardinals)- 13 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
The good news is that Carlos Hyde barely got touches in Week 1. The bad news is Jacksonville's offensive line is not blocking anyone.
Javonte Williams, RB, Broncos (vs. Jets)- 12 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 1 TD.
Javonte Williams is the more impressive back, but he's splitting touches now.
Melvin Gordon, RB, Broncos (vs. Jets)- 12 Points
30 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Melvin Gordon is the 1B to Javonte Williams.
Kareem Hunt, RB, Browns (vs. Bears)- 12 Points
20 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
This isn't an ideal matchup.
Chase Edmonds, RB, Cardinals (at Jaguars)- 12 Points
40 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
Chase Edmonds will continue to do well in PPR formats.
D'Andre Swift, RB, Lions (vs. Ravens)- 12 Points
40 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
The Ravens are tough against the run.
Kenyan Drake, RB, Raiders (vs. Dolphins)- 12 Points
40 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
Ty'Son Williams, RB, Ravens (at Lions)- 12 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
Detroit's run defense is putrid.
Tony Pollard, RB, Cowboys (vs. Eagles)- 11 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.
Tony Pollard might just be better than Ezekiel Elliott.
Devin Singletary, RB, Bills (vs. Redskins)- 10 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.
Devin Singletary played 43 snaps in Week 2, compared to 18 for Zack Moss.
Nyheim Hines, RB, Colts (at Titans)- 10 Points
20 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
Myles Gaskin, RB, Dolphins (at Raiders)- 10 Points
40 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.
Myles Gaskin is playing more snaps than the other backs, and this is an easier matchup.
Jamaal Williams, RB, Lions (vs. Ravens)- 10 Points
40 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
Leonard Fournette, RB, Bucs (at Rams)- 9 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards.
Leonard Fournette is the lead back now, but how long will that last?
Mike Davis, RB, Falcons (at Giants)- 9 Points
40 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.
There's no running room for Mike Davis.

60 Rushing Yards.
Trey Sermon is barely playing.
Michael Carter, RB, Jets (at Broncos)- 6 Points
30 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards.
Michael Carter had some great plays against the Patriots, so perhaps this will earn him more snaps.
A.J. Dillon, RB, Packers (at 49ers)- 6 Points
60 Rushing Yards.
Darrell Henderson, RB, Rams (vs. Buccaneers)- 6 Points
30 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards.

10 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards.
Phillip Lindsay, RB, Texans (vs. Panthers)- 5 Points
