Week 10 Running Backs: Top Picks and Performances
This week presents exciting opportunities for running backs in fantasy football. Key matchups and player performances deserve attention, particularly for those managing their fantasy rosters.
Top Running Back Picks for Week 10
In this week’s fantasy landscape, player availability and matchups greatly influence decisions. A standout player this week is Stevenson. If he takes the field, he is a must-start against the Buccaneers.
In case Stevenson is unavailable, fantasy managers should look towards Henderson. He demonstrated strong performance last week, finishing as the RB15. Henderson could be a valuable low-floor, high-upside flex option should the situation arise.
Factors Influencing Performance
The Buccaneers’ defense has shown vulnerabilities that could benefit running backs. They rank among the worst, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game (PPG) to opposing running backs.
- Buccaneers allow 1.5 yards before contact per carry.
- This figure ranks as the third-highest in the NFL.
- They have also surrendered the most receiving yards to running backs this season.
Given these statistics, both Stevenson and Henderson stand to gain from favorable matchups. Fantasy managers should stay updated on player statuses as kickoff approaches.
