Week 10 Fantasy Football Rankings: Box Score Projections for Stars with Top Matchups
S.Brown33 min ago
- Cooper Neill/ Week 10 kicked off with an AFC showdown between the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. With one game in the rear view, four teams on bye and 13 games left on the schedule, fantasy managers are eyeing some tough matchup decisions. The Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders and Seattle Seahawks will be off in Week 10. The good news is that most managers should have at least one easy lineup decision to make this week. Many top stars face favorable matchups and should produce big numbers this week. Who are our favorite plays for Week 10? How do we expect the biggest fantasy stars to perform? Let's take a look. All rankings and analysis are based on point-per-reception (PPR) scoring.
- Mitchell Leff/Matchup to Love: Jalen Hurts at Dallas Cowboys Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been a steady fantasy starter in 2024, especially when DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown have been in the lineup. Brown suffered a knee injury in Week 9 but did return to practice on Wednesday. This week, the Eagles will visit the rival Dallas Cowboys, who have struggled defensively for most of the season and have been hampered by injuries in recent weeks. While Dallas have pass-rusher Micah Parsons (ankle) and cornerback DaRon Bland (foot) in the lineup to face Philly, this is still a favorable matchup. Hurts is coming off a strong performance that included 230 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, 67 rushing yards and a rushing score. He should have similar numbers against the Cowboys, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.
- Cooper Neill/Matchup to Love: Bijan Robinson at New Orleans Saints Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has become a weekly "must-start" because of his dual-threat ability. While Atlanta does utilize Tyler Allgeier in the running game—sometimes heavily—Robinson is the top receiver out of the backfield. Robinson could see additional work as a receiver this week, as top wideout Drake London is dealing with a hip injury. The Falcons will visit the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, which presents a favorable matchup for both Robinson and Allgeier. New Orleans has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing RBs this season. The last time these two teams met, Robinson caught four passes on four targets and tallied 78 scrimmage yards. That should be considered his floor, and Robinson carries a ton of upside into a matchup with the reeling Saints.
- Jack Gorman/Matchup to Love: Nico Collins vs. Detroit Lions To be clear, there's still no guarantee that Houston Texans receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) will be activated from injured reserve this week. It's worth remembering, though, that the Los Angeles Rams didn't activate Puka Nacua until a few hours before their Week 8 game against the Minnesota Vikings. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Collins has cleared the necessary hurdles to return. "Collins has passed all tests for hamstring, no setbacks, per league sources, regained speed, mobility, ready to go. Matter of when, not if he'll be designated for return," Wilson posted on X. Managers should have a backup plan ready, which will be tricky because Houston plays on Sunday night. Texans receiver Robert Woods is still available in 99 percent of Yahoo and ESPN leagues, while Rams receiver Demarcus Robinson—who will play on Monday—is available in more than 70 percent of Yahoo and ESPN leagues. If Collins goes, he's a must-start against the Detroit Lions. This should be a high-scoring game, and Detroit has surrendered the third-most fantasy points to opposing receivers.
