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.

    Joe Burrow should do well against Philadelphia’s poor defense.

  21. Drake Maye, QB, Patriots (vs. Jets)- 17 Points
    230 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 2 INTs, 50 Rushing Yards.
    Drake Maye could be viable because of his rushing ability.

  22. Matthew Stafford, QB, Rams (vs. Vikings)- 17 Points
    230 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs.
    Matthew Stafford tends to do well against the blitz, and he may have Cooper Kupp back this week.

    240 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 2 INTs, 20 Rushing Yards.
    The Falcons had a bottom-10 EPA defense that Geno Smith was able to exploit. This is a tougher matchup.
