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.

    Will Joe Burrow show up high to the game again? Miami has a soft pass defense?

  4. Jalen Hurts, QB, Eagles (at Redskins)- 22 Points
    250 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 20 Rushing Yards, 1 TD.
    Jalen Hurts has another easy matchup this week. He needs to start running more.

    Jaxson Dart faces a very tough matchup.

  8. Brock Purdy, QB, 49ers (at Colts)- 18 Points
    250 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards.
    Brock Purdy will be going against a secondary missing both outside receivers.

  9. Baker Mayfield, QB, Bucs (at Panthers)- 18 Points
    240 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 10 Rushing Yards.
    Baker Mayfield hasn’t been healthy, but perhaps the mini-bye will help.

  14. C.J. Stroud, QB, Texans (vs. Raiders)- 17 Points
    290 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 20 Rushing Yards.
    C.J. Stroud will look to pick up where Jalen Hurts left off.

    Every quarterback has lit up the Cardinals lately.

  17. Jordan Love, QB, Packers (at Bears)- 15 Points
    220 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 1 INT, 10 Rushing Yards.
    “No Cookie” Jordan Love won’t do as well if he doesn’t have Christian Watson.
