Luckily, I’m here to help. Throughout the week we’ve posted quarterback, running back and wide receiver rankings, but this is where you can find rankings for every position, as well as my overall top 50 rankings regardless of position. If you’re having trouble setting your lineup this week, this cheat sheet is the place for you.

Best Matchups

Quarterback

1. Jared Goff vs Washington Commanders

Jared Goff has the best matchup of any quarterback this week. The Washington Commanders give up 20.84 points to opposing QBs, which is the third-most in the league (the worst two defenses – Dallas and Cincinnati – are both on bye). He should have a field day against the Commanders.

2. Caleb Williams vs New York Giants

Caleb Williams has the second-best QB matchup of the weekend. He faces the New York Giants, who allow 20.61 points per game to opposing QBs, which is the fourth-most in the league.

3. Justin Herbert vs Pittsburgh Steelers

Justin Herbert is close behind. He faces a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that surrenders 20.37 points per game to QBs. Plus, this is a primetime game, so it’s always nice to have your quarterback playing late, because if you’re down 20-30, you know you still have a chance.

4. Davis Mills/C.J. Stroud vs Jacksonville Jaguars

Davis Mills or C.J. Stroud (whoever it ends up being) has the fourth-best quarterback matchup of the week. They face the Jacksonville Jaguars, who allow 20.13 points per game to opposing QBs.

5. Jaxson Dart vs Chicago Bears

Rounding out our top five is Jaxson Dart, who faces the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Dart has been a great fantasy option this year, and now gets to face a team that allows 19.66 points per game to opposing QBs. Big day incoming for Dart.

Running Back

1. D’Andre Swift/Kyle Monangai vs New York Giants

D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai have the best RB matchup of the week against the Giants. It is a bit worrisome, though, because if Swift plays (which seems about 50/50), they’ll likely split carries.

2. Aaron Jones vs Baltimore Ravens

Aaron Jones looks set to play this weekend, and he gets a great matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, who surrender 26.33 points per game to opposing RBs. His shoulder injury shouldn’t limit him too much, so he should have a good day on the ground.

3. James Cook vs Miami Dolphins

James Cook doesn’t need a good matchup to have a great game, but he’s got a great matchup this week against the Dolphins, who give up 25.52 points per game to opposing RBs. He’s got overall RB1 upside this week.

4. Rhamondre Stevenson vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Rhamondre Stevenson gets a great matchup this weekend against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who give up 23.45 points per game to opposing RBs. However, he is injured and is at risk of missing this game. If he does, TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings would inherit this matchup.

5. DeVon Achane vs Buffalo Bills

Rounding out our list is De’Von Achane, who plays against a Buffalo Bills team that surrenders 23.43 fantasy points to opposing RBs this season. He’s a great rusher, but his receiving capabilities make him a top-three fantasy RB this week with this matchup.

Wide Receiver

1. Ladd McConkey vs Pittsburgh Steelers

Ladd McConkey and all the Chargers’ receivers have a great matchup against the Steelers, who give up 41.04 points per game to opposing WRs. All three of LAC’s receivers are startable this week.

2. Wan’Dale Robinson vs Chicago Bears

Wan’Dale Robinson is the Giants’ WR1, and he should feast this week against a Bears secondary that gives up 38.63 points per game to opposing WRs.

3. Courtland Sutton vs Las Vegas Raiders

Courtland Sutton and the Broncos also have a very favorable receiver matchup against the Raiders, who give up 38.48 points per game to opposing wideouts. Troy Franklin is my sleeper pick this week, too.

4. Justin Jefferson vs Baltimore Ravens

Justin Jefferson performs very well when J.J. McCarthy is his quarterback, and when you add on the fact that he faces a Ravens defense that allows 38 points per game to receivers, he should have a big game this weekend.

5. Amon-Ra St. Brown vs Washington Commanders

Another big name with a very favorable matchup this week is Amon-Ra St. Brown, who faces a Commanders defense that gives up 37.34 points to opposing wideouts. He has a ton of upside this week and could finish as WR1 overall.

Tight End

1. Dalton Schultz vs Jacksonville Jaguars

Dalton Schultz has the best tight end matchup this week, facing the Jaguars, who give up 18.70 points to opposing TEs this season. Keep an eye on who his quarterback is going to be, though.

2. Oronde Gadsden II vs Pittsburgh Steelers

Oronde Gadsden had his worst game since taking over as the starter, but he has a very favorable matchup on Sunday night against the Steelers, who give up 18 points per game to opposing TEs. Look for him to bounce back this week.

3. Kyle Pitts vs Indianapolis Colts

Next up is Kyle Pitts, who faces a Colts defense that allowed 17.76 points per game to TEs. They do play in Germany, though, and those European games can be a bit weird offensively.

4. Dalton Kincaid vs Miami Dolphins

Dalton Kincaid also has a pretty solid matchup this week. The Dolphins surrender 17.01 points per game to opposing tight ends, and Kincaid’s had a couple of big games recently. No reason he shouldn’t hit double-digits this week.

5. Sam LaPorta vs Washington Commanders

Another Lion who has a great matchup this week is Sam LaPorta. The Commanders are giving up over 15 points per game to opposing TEs this season, and with the way LaPorta has been playing, he should have a double-digit outing this weekend.
