We base our weekly rankings on the strength of opposing defenses overall, individual match-ups, and expected game situations (shoot-out vs. field-goal battle vs. blowout). They're based on the WCOFF/NFFC PPR scoring systems. Hopefully, for the most part, just looking at the rankings helps you figure out who to sit or start. We set the projections early in the week and then comb through them and make any necessary edits on Friday.

WIDE RECEIVERS

1. Brandon Marshall v NE - The Pats aren't stopping anyone. And Marshall isn't just anyone
2. Roddy White v SF - League's most targeted receiver has take that next step
3. Randy Moss @ MIA - Averaging a TD a game. No reason for that to stop now.
4. Austin Collie @ JAC - His number two coverage is leading to number one numbers
5. Greg Jennings v DET - Deep play guy will get behind Lions' awful secondary
6. DeSean Jackson v WAS - Is making huge plays every week. Redskins can be abused through the air
7. Larry Fitzgerald @ SD - Fitz still topping the targets but Anderson has no accuracy
8. Calvin Johnson @ GB - Packers can definitely be passed on
9. Donald Driver v DET - About as consistent as it gets
10. Jeremy Maclin v WAS - Four TD in three games with Vick 
11. Andre Johnson @ OAK - A big banged up and shut down by Nnamdi in last appearance. This is the lowest he'll every be ranked.
12. Wes Welker @ MIA - MIA's slow linebackers will have some serious problems keeping over over the middle
13. Reggie Wayne @ JAC - Starting to get left behind by Austin Collie
14. Chad Ochocinco @ CLE - Good week for Ocho to get back on track
15. Hakeem Nicks v CHI - Seven catches last week put any injury concerns at bay
16. Louis Murphy v HOU - Love Murphy any time Gradkowski is throwing the ball
17. Eddie Royal @ TEN - Only Bronco that can be counted on from week-to-week
18. Mark Clayton v SEA - Clayton has evolved into a top-25 receiver
19. Santana Moss @ PHI - Moss and McNabb's connection is highly surprising
20. Malcom Floyd v ARI - Lack of running game helping
21. Steve Smith (NYG) v CHI - He'll get the catches. Hopefully one is a TD
22. Johnny Knox @ NYG - Knox is most involved among the Bears' WR
23. Marques Colston v CAR - He'll eventually break out, but no TD is highly concerning
24. Anquan Boldin @ PIT - One week after his softest match up, he gets his toughest.
25. Michael Crabtree @ ATL - New OC needs to get him involved
26. Brandon Lloyd @ TEN - Is it possible he could string together this many good weeks in a row?
27. Terrell Owens @ CLE - All those targets should translate to catches this week
28. Jacoby Jones @ OAK - If AJ gets Nnamdi, Jacoby could have huge game
29. Mike Williams (SEA) @ STL - Healthy again. Looks to take advantage 
30. Legedu Naanee v ARI - He seems to be Rivers' favorite target 
31. Darrius Heyward-Bay v HOU - Starting to come around. Great sleeper
32. Steve Smith (CAR) @ NO - Staying down the list until Clausen gets it together 
33. Hines Ward v BAL - Don't expect too much outside of PPR
34. Derrick Mason @ PIT - Decent history against Steelers. And now without primary coverage. 
35. Steve Breaston @ SD - Should do his part
36. Mario Manningham v CHI - Manning is getting everyone involved 
37. Lee Evans v NYJ - Relevant again with Fitzpatrick tossing it up
38. Braylon Edwards @ BUF - No faith in him. But needs to be ranked
39. Kevin Walter @ OAK - Has come through every week
40. Devin Hester @ NYG - Doing his part to help your team every week
41. Kenny Britt v DEN - Britt is a capable redzone threat 
42. Mike Wallace v BAL - Got flukey last week. Don't expect that again
43. Lance Moore v CAR - Who knows, maybe Brees will ride the hot hand
44. Danny Amendola v SEA - PPR sensation.
45. Mike Thomas v IND - No faith that Garrard won't stink up the joint
46. Devrey Henderson v CAR - Big plays could be coming
47. Mike Sims-Walker v IND - Hardest player to project in all of football
48. Jordie Nelson v DET - Loves getting involved in these shoot outs
49. Pierre Garcon @ JAC - Still dealing with the hammy injury
50. Jordan Shiply @ CLE - Could be enough to go around this week
