Fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em: Week 10

Check out these players to avoid and lock in for Week 10.

We’re heading into Week 10 of the NFL, and have just a little over a month left in the regular season in most fantasy leagues.

For Week 10, the Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders and Seattle Seahawks will rest their collective bumps and bruises. As a result, fantasy managers take a big hit at the tight end position, with Brock Bowers, Tucker Kraft and David Njoku off.

In addition, we will have the final overseas game of the 2024 schedule as the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers meet at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. That game kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET, so keep that in mind.

We’ll have three games divisional games on tap, too, including a rematch between the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints.

Also of note, only six of the 13 remaining games on the schedule this week are played outdoors, including Allianz Arena. If you’re a fan of weather games, your best bets will be in Washington and Jacksonville. The nation’s capital has the ugliest forecast, calling for a 40% chance of showers. It will be quite windy in Chicago, too, with sustained winds at 14-17 mph, with gusts up to 20-25 mph. That could affect the passing and kicking games.

Doing start/sit articles can be a little challenging. The players featured on the list below should not be taken as “must starts” or “must sits.” Instead, these are more suggestions on what we believe managers should do with fringe players heading into the weekend. The choice is ultimately up to the manager.

Just because a player is listed as a “start” doesn’t mean he should be put in the lineup over the secure, bona fide studs. Vice versa for the “sits.” If there’s no better option on the waiver wire or the bench, a manager shouldn’t automatically sit the player. That’s why these can be tricky waters to navigate.

Feel free to ask any specific start/sit questions via X, formerly Twitter, (@danieledobish), or check out our start/bench list for Week 10:

Fantasy Football DFS Domination: Week 10

Breaking down the top players and sleepers for DraftKings and FanDuel for Week 9 DFS fantasy football.

Week 10 brings the return of the byes, our final foreign game of the season (featuring two of the worst teams in the NFL), and six excellent offenses playing outside the main slate.

We can use Detroit and Houston on FD and FB. Otherwise, the player pool is pruning up with the rainy fall weather. This brings me to the most important element from now on: the weather. We had our first pair of weather-influenced games this past weekend, but neither stifled the elite offenses involved. Know that only the absolute worst wind and driving rain/snow truly affect the top talents, but still be alert and aware.

Quarterback

Weekly strategy – If you go big, choose between Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen. Both are solid plays. The high-dollar pivots would be C.J. Stroud or Kirk Cousins. The sweet spot for me would be Brock Purdy, Sam Darnold, and Aaron Rodgers. Justin Herbert, Mac Jones, and Cooper Rush are the punt choices.

Fantasy four-pack

Jalen Hurts, Eagles @ DAL ($7,800 DK, $9,400 FD) Over the last four games, Dallas has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing QBs. Meanwhile, Hurts has 12 total TDs over that same four-week period.

Josh Allen, Bills @ IND ($7,700 DK, $9,200 FD) If I knew he would have all of his weapons, I’d have even more faith in Allen. Still, Allen has proven he can succeed without his usual posse, especially if he gets things going with his legs. Indy’s pass defense numbers look positive, but the QBs they have faced were Sam Darnold, C.J. Stroud (2x), and a clown car full of scrubs.

Kirk Cousins, Falcons @ NO ($6,700 DK, $7,400 FD) Since Week 5, Cousins ranks second in both completions and passing yards. He also ranks third in passing TDs. New Orleans held him in check earlier this year, but now they will be without Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore. Stack Cousins with two of Drake London (hip), Kyle Pitts, Darnell Mooney, and Ray-Ray McCloud III.

C.J. Stroud, Texans vs. DET (N/A DK, $7,700 FD) Only three teams allow more passing yards per game than Detroit. This will be the wake-up call needed to boost Stroud, who has struggled since losing his top two WRs to injury. Stroud will get an even bigger boost if Nico Collins (hamstring) returns here.

Sleepers

Aaron Rodgers, Jets @ ARI ($5,700 DK, $7,100 FD) In six of his last eight starts, Rodgers has thrown for multiple TDs. This includes five passing TDs over the last two games. Arizona’s pass defense has improved recently, but they still have allowed the sixth-most passing yards this year.

Justin Herbert, Chargers vs. TEN ($5,200 DK, $6,900 FD) This price seems disrespectful to Herbert. Over the last three weeks, no one has thrown for more passing yards than him. The return of Quentin Johnston, paired with the development of Ladd McConkey, has lit a new fire under him. The timing is right for a big game here as Tennessee has allowed eight of their 11 passing TDs over the last four weeks.

Running back

Weekly strategy – Saquon Barkley and Bijan Robinson are the best choices. Alvin Kamara should see a heightened volume because of injuries. I’m struggling with whether to use Christian McCaffrey. It is his first game back, and the matchup is prime, but this smells like a snap-count game. Just know that his DK price will never be this low again. Outside of this foursome, Aaron Jones and D’Andre Swift feel like the clear RB2 choices. After this group, it gets ugly. You can take a flier on James Conner or Rico Dowdle or punt with backups like Tyler Allgeier or  Kenneth Gainwell … Ugh.

Fantasy four-pack

Saquon Barkley, Eagles @ DAL ($8,300 DK, $9,600 FD) Normally, I would be concerned that Barkley and Jalen Hurts would cannibalize each other’s production. Still, both have dominated over the last three weeks. Meanwhile, Dallas allows an average of 150 combo yards and 1.4 total TDs per game to opposing RBs.

Bijan Robinson, Falcons @ NO ($7,700 DK, $8,800 FD) Over their last four contests, New Orleans is allowing 155 combo yards and two total TDs per game to opposing RBs. This coincides with the blossoming of Robinson. During that same stretch, he is averaging 23.5 PPR points per game.

Alvin Kamara, Saints vs. ATL ($8,100 DK, $8,500 FD) Kamara’s passing game usage has kept him relevant while the rest of the Saints are in the infirmary. Atlanta ranks in the bottom five in RB receptions and receiving TDs, so the opportunities will be there this week.

Aaron Jones, Vikings @ JAX ($6,700 DK, $7,900 FD) Jacksonville ranks second-worst in total TDs allowed to the RB position. They also are in the bottom three in both RB receptions and receiving yards. Jones should do damage through the air here as he ranks eighth among RBs in both categories. 

Sleepers

Rico Dowdle, Cowboys vs. PHI ($6,100 DK, $6,200 FD) The matchup isn’t elite, but Dowdle has fared well since winning the lion’s share of the touches back in Week 4. During this stretch, Dowdle has nearly twice as many opportunities as Ezekiel Elliott, despite missing one of these games because of illness.

Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots @ CHI ($6,400 DK, $7,000 FD) Stevenson’s yardage numbers have been pedestrian all season, but he ranks sixth among RBs with seven total TDs. This includes two TDs in each of the last two games. Plus, Chicago is allowing five YPC to opposing RBs, so the yards may be here this week as well.

Wide receiver

Weekly strategy – Justin Jefferson should be high-dollar chalk. To save money and achieve variance, use DeVonta Smith or Davante Adams instead. You also can use Tank Dell on FD and FB, especially if Nico Collins (hamstring) remains out. At WR2 use Darnell Mooney or Khalil Shakir, or take a flier on George Pickens, Josh Downs, or DJ Moore. Jauan Jennings (hip) will be my WR3 unless he suffers a setback. In that case, sub in Rome Odunze, Jordan Addison, Quentin Johnston, or Calvin Ridley. If you don’t use Mooney, consider Ray-Ray McCloud as a punt. You also can consider Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Parker Washington in this role.

Fantasy four-pack

Justin Jefferson, Vikings vs. JAX ($8,800 DK, $9,500 FD) Jefferson is expensive, but he has scored and/or topped 100 total yards in all but one game. We will see more of this as Jacksonville ranks bottom-six in WR receptions, receiving yards, and receiving TDs.

DeVonta Smith, Eagles @ DAL ($7,800, $8,500 FD) Dallas’ injuries have piled up, leaving this defense debilitated. Plus, A.J. Brown (knee) is on the wrong side of questionable. This should allow the Eagles to feature Smith once again. Even if Brown plays, Smith will score.

Davante Adams, Jets @ ARI ($7,000 DK, $7,600 FD) The Lambeau East Connection travels down to Arizona to face a Cardinals defense that has allowed the seventh-most WR receptions and the eighth-most WR receptions. Adams’ usage has grown in each game since the trade to the Jets. This feels like the game where he scores multiple TDs.

Tank Dell, Texans vs. DET (N/A DK, $7,200 FD) Despite facing the top-ranked pass defense against WRs last week, C.J. Stroud finally peppered Dell with targets. The result was 6-126. Expect even more out of the Houston speedster against the third-worst defense against the opponent’s WRs.

Sleepers

Jauan Jennings, 49ers @ TB ($5,100 DK, $5,800 FD) Jennings (hip) is on target to return this weekend against the Buccaneers. Deebo Samuel (oblique/ribs) will probably return as well. Hope they both return, because opposing WR2s have demolished this defense.

Quentin Johnston, Chargers vs. TEN ($4,900 DK, $5,900 FD) Tennessee has stumbled of late against the pass. Meanwhile, Johnston is coming off his best game of the season. Stack him and/or Ladd McConkey with Justin Herbert if you want to spend huge at RB.

Hayden Hurst $2,700 $4,500

Tight end

Weekly strategy – Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Cade Otton are all elite plays this week. Seriously consider the double-TE play with two of them. Kyle Pitts (hamstring) and Dalton Kincaid are the discount pivots. You also can punt with Hunter Henry or one of the Saints.

Fantasy four-pack

George Kittle, 49ers @ TB ($5,800 DK, $8,000 FD) Over the last four weeks, Tampa is allowing an average of 23.7 PPR points to opposing TEs. Kittle leads all tight ends in touchdowns and ranks second in TE receiving yards. This has allowed him to score and/or top 90 total yards in six of seven games.

Travis Kelce, Chiefs vs. DEN ($6,000 DK, $7,000 FD) TE is one of the few positions that Denver struggles against on defense. With Kelce blowing up for the last two weeks, 8-90-1 should be the floor.

Cade Otton, Buccaneers vs. SF ($5,500 DK, $6,400 FD) Since losing their entire WR corps to injury, Otton has gone scorched earth on the league. Over the last three games, Otton is top-three among all offensive players in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving TDs. His price is still low enough to lock it in here.

Trey McBride, Cardinals vs. NYJ ($5,700 DK, $7,200 FD) McBride should see a plethora of targets with the Jets shutting down the Cardinals’ outside WRs. Even though he scored the rushing TD, McBride underperformed last week. This could keep his ownership numbers down.

Sleepers

Hunter Henry, Patriots @ CHI ($3,900 DK, $5,300 FD) Henry hasn’t scored over the last three games, but he is averaging 7-64. At this price on DK, 3x is an absolute lock. If he gets into the end zone, 4x is on the table.

Juwan Johnson, Saints vs. ATL ($3,300 DK, $5,300 FD) With an injury-depleted WR corps, the Saints have turned to their TEs to make up the slack. Johnson, Taysom Hill, and Foster Moreau are all in play at discount prices. Build three different lineups, each featuring one of them.

Fantasy Football Rest-of-Season Rankings: Week 10

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.

Fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em: Week 10

Check out these starts and sits for fantasy football in Week 10.

After plodding through a rough Thursday night matchup, fantasy football managers now focus their attention on the crucial start and sit decisions for the Week 10 slate of games.

For the second week in a row, four teams will be on a bye, including the Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams.

Doing start/sit articles can be a little challenging. The players featured on the list below should not be taken as “must starts” or “must sits.” Instead, these are more suggestions on what we believe managers should do with fringe players heading into the weekend. The choice is ultimately up to the manager.

Just because a player is listed as a “start” doesn’t mean he should be put in the lineup over the secure, bona fide studs. Vice versa for the “sits.” If there’s no better option on the waiver wire or the bench, a manager shouldn’t automatically sit the player. That’s why these can be tricky waters to navigate.

Feel free to ask any specific start/sit questions via X, formerly Twitter, (@KevinHickey11), or check out our start/bench list for Week 10:

Fantasy football waiver wire: Week 10 free-agent forecast

Check out the top waiver wire targets for Week 10.

As we enter into the home stretch of the fantasy football season, managers are either looking to stay in the hunt or play spoiler for the rest of the league. Either way, the waiver wire is a vital part of the process.

There will be another four teams on a bye in Week 10 while another four will return from their week off.

Teams on a bye in Week 10 include the Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles.

We’ll be taking a look at the top available players rostered in Yahoo leagues, using the 75% rostered mark as the threshold. If you have any questions about prioritizing a certain player over another, don’t be afraid to hit me up on X, formerly Twitter, (@KevinHickey11). Your questions and comments are always welcome!

We also will be taking a look at some deeper players to stash and the top streaming options for the upcoming week.

Fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em: Week 10

Here’s a look at some start/sit decisions for fantasy football in Week 10.

Following the Thursday night matchup, it’s now time for fantasy football managers to go into the weekend staring at their lineups contemplating their start/sit decisions.

Teams on a bye in Week 10 include the New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots.

Doing start/sit articles can be a little challenging. The players featured on the list below should not be taken as “must starts” or “must sits.” Instead, these are more suggestions on what we believe managers should do with fringe players heading into the weekend. The choice is ultimately up to the manager.

Just because a player is listed as a “start” doesn’t mean he should be put in the lineup over the secure, bona fide studs. Vice versa for the “sits.” If there’s no better option on the waiver wire or the bench, a manager shouldn’t automatically sit the player. That’s why these can be tricky waters to navigate.
