Fantasy football owners continue to face tough start 'em, sit 'em decisions, and things stay difficult in Week 10. Injuries keep piling up (Jonathan Taylor, Darren Waller, Keenan Allen, Deebo Samuel, David Njoku, etc.) and four offenses filled with plenty of top fantasy performers (Bengals, Patriots, Jets, and Ravens) are all off for their bye weeks. Fortunately, Sporting News NFL writer Vinnie Iyer is here to help with his Week 10 fantasy lineup advice and DFS tips.At quarterback, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson won't be available. In the backfield, Joe Mixon, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Michael Carter are not in play. We also lose top pa s-catchers Mark Andrews, Tee Higgins, Jakobi Hassan Whiteside Jersey Meyers, and Garrett Wilson, among others.

Tua should play off the run well for some big plays to his speedy wideouts.Dak Prescott, Cowboys (at GB). He should be more like his high-upside self after the bye, and the Packers' pa s defense has been now ravaged by injuries.Geno Smith, Seahawks (at TB in Munich). He still has a high floor of around 250 yards and two TDs opposite the GOAT.Tom Brady, Buccaneers (vs. SEA in Munich). He got revved up late against the Rams, and that will carry over here in a good matchup for his inside receivers.Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars (at KC). The game script should be negative and allow for pa sable garbage stats, both throwing and running.Daniel Jones, Giants (vs. HOU). The Texans' pa s defense can be tough, but he'll get it done with a combination of scoring and rushing yards.Ru sell Wilson, Broncos (at TEN) Portland Trail Blazers Hoodie . You need to throw often to move the ball on the Titans, so this is a volume-based play in a strong secondary matchup for his weapons.Matthew Stafford, Rams (at ARI). If Stafford (concu sion) plays, he can work over this pa s defense for a couple of scores with Cooper Kupp dominating inside.DFS TargetsFanDuel cash game pickJustin Fields, Bears (vs. DET, $8,300). The running floor and the pa sing matchup say he has the best value in terms of price per point.DraftKings tournament pickRu sell Wilson, Broncos (at TEN, $5,900). He's cheap and might be forgotten or overlooked after a bad first half, but the volume can help him produce as a pivot play.Streamer SpecialJacoby Bri sett, Browns (at MIA). The Dolphins now give up the most fantasy points to QBs, and Bri sett, who was Tua's backup last season, will deliver with running and just enough pa sing in a revenge game.WEEK 10 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Weaker startsJustin Herbert, Chargers (at SF). The lack of downfield weaponry is a concern in this tough road matchup in prime time.Kirk Cousins, Vikings (at BUF). The Bills simply don't give much in the pa sing game, so this is likely to be a lower-volume day with a lot of power running from Dalvin Cook.Jimmy Garoppolo, 49ers (vs. LAC). The Chargers don't give much through the air because they have become so easy to run on, so the volume won Pau Gasol Jersey 't be there for Jimmy G.Jared Goff, Lions (at CHI). Goff on the road is a trap against a defense much weaker against the run.Aaron Rodgers, Packers (vs. DAL). You can't go here against this defense, especially given how shorthanded the Packers' offense is.Derek Carr, Raiders (vs. IND). The Colts are rather stingy against the pa s, so this is a Josh Jacobs overcorrection game.Marcus Mariota, Falcons (at CAR). Here's to not feeling him putting up pleasing numbers on the road in prime time.Andy Dalton, Saints (at PIT). His AFC North reunion tour hasn't gone all that great, Caleb Swanigan Jersey and the Steelers should play better overall defense after the bye.WEEK 10 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | RB must-startsSaquon Barkley, Giants (vs. HOUChristian McCaffrey, 49ers (vs. LAC)Austin Ekeler, Chargers (at SF)Derrick Henry, Titans (vs. DEN)Nick Chubb, Browns (at MIA)Kenneth Walker III, Seahawks (at TB in Munich)Josh Jacobs, Raiders (vs. IND)Alvin Kamara, Saints (at PIT)Jonathan Taylor, Colts (at LV)Travis Etienne Jr., Jaguars (at KC)Dameon Pierce, Texans (at NYGDalvin Cook, Vikings (at BUF)D'Onta Foreman, Panthers (vs. ATL)Leonard Fournette, Buccaneers (vs SEA in Munich)Miles Sanders, Eagles (vs. WAS)Aaron Jones, Packers (if he plays, vs. DAL)Tony Pollard, Cowboys (at GB)Cordarrelle Patterson, Falcons (at CAR)Stronger starts Jamaal Williams, Lions (at CHI). Williams will stay productive against a porous run defense with an even game script.Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr., Dolphins (vs. CLE). They both scored last week in this speedy committee, and the Browns aren't capable of slowing down either much.David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert, Bears (vs. DET). The Lions will have their hands full trying to slow down Justin Fields and these two behind a strong run-blocking unit.Tyler Allgeier, Falcons (at CAR). He's right there in the 1-2 punch for a great rushing attack with Cordarrelle Patterson.AJ Dillon, Packers (vs. DAL). He's underwhelmed but could get more touches than usual at home with Aaron Jones (ankle) hurting.DFS targetsFanDuel cash game picksSaquon Barkley, Giants (vs. HOU, $9,500). He Carmelo Anthony Jersey 's definitely worth the pay-up as the surest thing on the board at home after a bye.David Montgomery, Bears (vs. DET, $6,700). Monty should be busy in a cakewalk matchup for their run-heavy offense.DraftKings tournament picksJaylen Warren, Steelers (vs. NO, $4,900). Watch out for him starting and sparking for Najee Harris.Travis Etienne Jr. Jaguars (at KC, $7,100). He keeps on delivering big games as a dual threat and is a tough draw for the Chiefs' defense.WEEK 10 DFS LINEUPS: | Weaker startsD'Andre Swift, Lions (at CHI). Questions about hi |
