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 QB 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.

  1. Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs (vs. Bears)- 29 Points
    300 Passing Yards, 3 Pass TDs, 40 Rushing Yards.
    Patrick Mahomes has the easiest matchup of the year coming up.

  2. Jalen Hurts, QB, Eagles (at Buccaneers)- 26 Points
    310 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 60 Rushing Yards.
    Jalen Hurts will bounce back against a sub par defense.

  3. Josh Allen, QB, Bills (at Redskins)- 25 Points
    290 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards, 1 TD.
    This isn’t as easy of a matchup this week, but Josh Allen should still perform on a high level.

  4. Lamar Jackson, QB, Ravens (vs. Colts)- 25 Points
    280 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 60 Rushing Yards.
    Lamar Jackson was much better in Week 2. He should have his way with the Colts’ defense

  5. Justin Herbert, QB, Chargers (at Vikings)- 24 Points
    310 Passing Yards, 3 Pass TDs, 1 INT, 10 Rushing Yards.
    The Vikings have a miserable secondary that Justin Herbert will expose.

  6. Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jaguars (vs. Texans)- 22 Points
    320 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 10 Rushing Yards.
    Houston’s defense looked like a joke in Week 2, so Trevor Lawrence should be able to rebound.

  7. Anthony Richardson, QB, Colts (at Ravens)- 19 Points
    200 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 90 Rushing Yards.
    Anthony Richardson suffered a concussion in Week 2.

  8. Joe Burrow, QB, Bengals (vs. Rams)- 18 Points
    260 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards.
    Joe Burrow should be healthier this week, and he’ll have an easy matchup.

  9. Kirk Cousins, QB, Vikings (vs. Chargers)- 18 Points
    310 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 1 INT.
    Ryan Tannehill just looked good against this Charger defense.

  10. Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Dolphins (vs. Broncos)- 17 Points
    260 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 1 INT, 10 Rushing Yards.
    Tua Tagovailoa looks unstoppable. The Broncos can’t get after the quarterback.

  11. Jared Goff, QB, Lions (vs. Falcons)- 17 Points
    290 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 1 INT.
    Jared Goff may not have Amon-Ra St. Brown available, which would be a huge loss.

  12. Bryce Young, QB, Panthers (at Seahawks)- 17 Points
    240 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards.
    This is Bryce Young’s easiest matchup to date.

  13. Brock Purdy, QB, 49ers (vs. Giants)- 16 Points
    290 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 10 Rushing Yards.
    This is Brock Purdy’s easiest matchup yet.

  14. Russell Wilson, QB, Broncos (at Dolphins)- 15 Points
    270 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 30 Rushing Yards.
    Miami doesn’t have a good defense, so Russell Wilson figures to post quality numbers, whether that’s in a shootout or in garbage time.

  15. Baker Mayfield, QB, Bucs (vs. Eagles)- 15 Points
    280 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD.
    Baker Mayfield won’t be playing a bottom-five defense for the first time this year.

  16. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys (at Cardinals)- 15 Points
    220 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 1 INT, 10 Rushing Yards.
    Dak Prescott has a much easier matchup this week, but he may not have to do very much.

  17. Daniel Jones, QB, Giants (at 49ers)- 15 Points
    240 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 50 Rushing Yards.
    Daniel Jones will need garbage-time action to be productive again.

  18. Jordan Love, QB, Packers (vs. Saints)- 15 Points
    290 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards.
    The Saints can’t put pressure on the quarterback, which should help No Cookie Jordan Love.

  19. Geno Smith, QB, Seahawks (vs. Panthers)- 15 Points
    290 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards.
    Geno Smith will have no blocking against a great pass rush.

  20. Kenny Pickett, QB, Steelers (at Raiders)- 15 Points
    290 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards.
    Kenny Pickett has his easiest matchup yet on Sunday night.

  21. C.J. Stroud, QB, Texans (at Jaguars)- 15 Points
    270 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 30 Rushing Yards.
    C.J. Stroud will need garbage time again to be relevant in fantasy.

  22. Ryan Tannehill, QB, Titans (at Browns)- 15 Points
    280 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards.


  23. Justin Fields, QB, Bears (at Chiefs)- 14 Points
    230 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 2 INTs, 50 Rushing Yards.
    Justin Fields isn’t running for some reason.

  24. Deshaun Watson, QB, Browns (vs. Titans)- 14 Points
    240 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 40 Rushing Yards.
    I need to see Deshaun Watson play well before trusting him.

  25. Mac Jones, QB, Patriots (at Jets)- 14 Points
    260 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards.


  26. Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Raiders (vs. Steelers)- 14 Points
    230 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 10 Rushing Yards.


  27. Matthew Stafford, QB, Rams (at Bengals)- 14 Points
    260 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD.
    Enjoy Matthew Stafford while he’s healthy. He has a solid matchup this week.

  28. Sam Howell, QB, Redskins (vs. Bills)- 14 Points
    240 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 30 Rushing Yards.
    Unlike the Broncos, the Bills can actually get after the quarterback.

  29. Desmond Ridder, QB, Falcons (at Lions)- 13 Points
    230 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards.


  30. Derek Carr, QB, Saints (at Packers)- 13 Points
    250 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 10 Rushing Yards.
    Pass protection was a big issue for Derek Carr in Week 1.

  31. Josh Dobbs, QB, Cardinals (vs. Cowboys)- 10 Points
    210 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT.


  32. Zach Wilson, QB, Jets (vs. Patriots)- 9 Points
