Updated Week 10 Fantasy Football Rankings - Who Should I Start? Top Streaming Options, Injury Updates, and full rankings including IDP

Week 10 is already here and anyone who faced Ja’Marr Chase is on to Week 11. But, for everyone else asking Who Should I Start? Here are my updated week 10 rankings including my top streaming options. We have four teams on a bye this week (Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders, Cleveland Browns, and Seattle Seahawks.)  If you are looking for some wide receivers to start, some flex options are Jauan Jennings, Jaylen Waddle, and Xavier Legette. Jalen Coker is a deeper option that might be available after coming up short last week.

Updated Week 10 Fantasy Football Rankings: Who Should I Start?


Every game matters at this point as we are fighting for byes and our playoff lives. Pay attention to the injury report; defensive injuries can affect situations both positively and negatively. But matchups matter and should affect your lineup decisions. Matchups are important to factor in and can help you with those difficult start or sit decisions. I have included my updated week 10 fantasy football rankings, and will update more as news comes in. If you are looking for some streaming options, here are the teams giving up the most fantasy points per position.

Rank (PPG) QB RB WR TE K D/ST
32 Jaguars Panthers Ravens Panthers Falcons Raiders
31 Buccaneers Bills Vikings Chiefs Dolphins Titans
30 Ravens Jaguars Lions Colts Panthers Browns
29 Bengals Cowboys Jaguars Buccaneers Raiders Giants
28 Panthers Buccaneers Browns Bengals Saints Patriots

QB, Justin Herbert – Los Angeles Chargers vs. Tennessee Titans (7th)

The Titans’ defense has struggled without L’Jarius Sneed. Sneed is out again and now their best Safety (Quandre Diggs) is out for the season. Their pass defense will be one to target for the rest of the season. Herbert’s numbers have improved each week along with his health. The Chargers have been passing at a higher rate as well. They are passing even with a lead at 53.1% of the time. Herbert is playing well, ranking 5th per PFF. The Chargers implied points for Week 10 are 23.25 and Herbert’s last 3 fantasy finishes were QB17, QB9, and QB12. Justin Herbert should be higher in your fantasy football rankings.

QB, Tua Tagovailoa – Miami Dolphins @ Los Angeles Rams(26th)

The Los Angeles Rams defensive line has improved as the season has gone on. But, their secondary is still allowing huge performances. We saw Jaxon Smith-Njigba have a breakout game on them last week. Jameson Williams also broke out against the Rams this year. This week we could see Jaylen Waddle have a bounce-back game. This is lined up for us to see a vintage Tua game, check to see if he available in your leagues.

QB, Drake Maye – New England Patriots at Chicago Bears (18th)

Despite being in such a bad situation, Drake May has been very good. Per PFF, he ranks #1 overall among 15 NFL Quarterbacks with at least 20 scrambles in first-down and/or touchdown rate. The Bears’ defense could be without their top two edge-rushers this weekend (Andrew Billings and Montez Sweat). Their offense will be without both start Tackles. Maye has a wide range of outcomes, but his rushing upside is hard to pass up. The matchup is better than it looks on paper with the injuries to Chicago.

Deeper Options:  Daniel Jones vs. Carolina Panthers. Jones reminded us of his rushing upside last week and he finished as a top-12 Quarterback. He does well in plus matchups and this is one of them. The Carolina Panthers have allowed 15 rushing touchdowns in 9 games. This should be a bounce-back week for Malik Nabers and we could see Daniel Jones back in the top-12.

TE, T.J. Hockenson – Minnesota Vikings at Jacksonville Jaguars (22nd)

Starting fantasy player against the Jacksonville Jaguars has been a winning strategy this year. Hockenson got a chance to knock the rust off last week. Look for his involvement to continue to grow as he builds more chemistry with Sam Darnold. The matchup offers a great opportunity. Minnesota should move the ball at will and have plenty of opportunities this week. Glad to have TJ Hockenson back playing and moving him up my week 10 fantasy football rankings.

TE, Taysom Hill – New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons (24th)

Taysom Hill could be the RB2 on the team again and you can play him as a tight end. Last week we saw him get into the end zone and we could see it again. He has more opportunities than most tight ends. His touchdown upside puts him up there with the top guys as far as the ceiling. If you need a home run, start Taysom. Hill is not the traditional play and comes with risk, but should be higher in your fantasy football rankings.

TE, Hunter Henry – New England Patriots at Chicago Bears (18th)

Hunter Henry is the top receiving option in New England. Drake Maye continues to impress and Henry has been one of the more reliable tight end options this year. Chicago is banged up, they could be without their top pass rushers. I wouldn’t be surprised if Drake Maye outperforms and defeats Caleb Williams on Sunday. Chicago is also without their two starting offensive tackles. I really like Henry in PPR formats, but also like his touchdown upside. The Patriots tend to target him in the red zone.

Deeper Options:  Theo Johnson vs. Carolina Panthers (32nd)

D/ST – New York Giants at Carolina Panthers (24th)

New York’s defense has been good this year, specifically their pass rush. They lead the NFL in sacks and Dexter Lawrence is the current sack leader. New York is favored in this one, not something they are used to. Bryce Young has been turnover-prone all year and the offensive line matchup is not favorable. If you want to know who to stash the next few weeks, just pull up the Carolina Panthers.  You will see several Giants players higher in my week 10 fantasy football rankings or IDP.

D/ST – Los Angeles Chargers Vs. Tennessee Titans (31st)

Will Levis lead the league in turnover-worthy plays from the Quarterback position. He returns for his first game back from his shoulder injury. The Chargers’ defense has been playing well and is a tier-1 streamer per PFF. The Titans lost their top offensive lineman Lloyd Cushenberry for the season to add to their problems. Los Angeles pressures the Quarterback at a high rate and Tennessee allows pressures at a high rate, Go Chargers Go!

D/ST – Detroit Lions at Houston Texans (15th)

The Houston Texans’ offensive line has been terrible this year. They are giving up 4+ sacks per game over their last three games. We have seen two recent 8-sack performances. Specifically, their interior offensive line is struggling. The team could be without Nico Collins again and they have been scoring under 20 points per game without him. Fire up Detroit and temper expectations for C.J. Stroud. I hate to do it, but Stroud is going to be lower in the Week 10 fantasy football rankings.

Deeper Option:  Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints. New Orleans will be without Chris Olave this week, Mason Tipton could end up as their WR1 this week.
