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 Traditional scoring system. Each player has Walterfootball.com’s projected stats and standard scoring points.

    100 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Jonathan Taylor just ripped through Chicago’s defense.

  5. Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints (at Falcons)- 18 Points
    90 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Falcons tend to be decent against the run, but Alvin Kamara is still a quality option.

  8. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Colts (vs. Steelers)- 16 Points
    90 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Steelers are stout against the run, so Jonathan Taylor will have less running room this week.

    90 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Derrick Henry is washed up, but he gets a good matchup this week.

  10. Brian Robinson, RB, Redskins (at Cardinals)- 16 Points
    90 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Arizona is weak to the run, so Brian Robinson could have a great game.

    60 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.

    80 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
