Week 10 Kicks Off This Week
This week marks the commencement of Week 10 in the NFL, bringing with it significant matchups that fantasy football players should watch closely. Various players are primed to exceed expectations, offering valuable options for those making critical lineup decisions.
Quarterback Matchups to Watch
Jaxson Dart – New York Giants
Jaxson Dart has emerged as a standout quarterback, ranking as the QB3 over the past three weeks with an impressive average of 24.9 fantasy points per game. In Week 10, Dart faces a Chicago Bears defense that has been generous to opposing quarterbacks, allowing an average of 25.4 fantasy points per game and ranking 12th in rushing yards given up to quarterbacks.
Caleb Williams – Chicago Bears
Caleb Williams delivered a fantastic performance in Week 9 with over 35 fantasy points. His strong run continues as he faces a struggling New York Giants defense, which has allowed the 11th most passing yards and numerous touchdowns this season. Williams has stepped up lately, averaging 19.3 fantasy points per game since Week 6.
Jared Goff – Detroit Lions
Jared Goff’s season has been inconsistent, currently holding the rank of QB14 with 17.5 fantasy points per game. However, Goff benefits from an easy matchup this week against a Washington Commanders defense that has surrendered 2,417 passing yards and a 110.7 passer rating. This week could be a pivotal one for Goff and the Lions after their Week 9 loss.
Running Back Spotlight
Quinshon Judkins – Cleveland Browns
Quinshon Judkins has faced challenges with injuries but is set for a bounce-back performance against the lowly Jets, who stand at 1-7. With key defenders Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner out, Judkins should find ample running room.
Rachaad White – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Rachaad White is likely to see increased targets this week as the Buccaneers face a New England defense that struggles against the pass. With Bucky Irving’s absence and the need for Tampa Bay to keep pace with a high-scoring Patriots team, expect White to play a crucial role.
Kyle Monangai/D’Andre Swift – Chicago Bears
The matchup offers potential for both Kyle Monangai, who excelled in Week 9, and D’Andre Swift, who’s expected to return. The Bears could take an early lead, allowing both backs to contribute meaningfully if the game unfolds favorably.
Wide Receiver Prospects
Rome Odunze – Chicago Bears
Despite a disappointing performance last week, Rome Odunze has a prime opportunity for redemption against the Giants. They have allowed a high number of receptions, yards, and touchdowns to wide receivers this season, setting the stage for Odunze to bounce back effectively.
Tetairoa McMillan – Carolina Panthers
After a solid win against the Packers, Tetairoa McMillan faces the struggling Saints in Week 10. If the Panthers continue their offensive momentum, it could mark a breakout game for McMillan who faces favorable coverage alignments.
Wan’Dale Robinson – New York Giants
Wan’Dale Robinson has emerged as a leading target for the Giants, boasting 76 more yards than any other receiver. Facing a depleted Bears secondary, Robinson is positioned to make a significant impact this week, potentially surpassing projected points.
In summary, Week 10 is shaping up to be crucial for both NFL teams and fantasy football enthusiasts. Players like Jaxson Dart, Caleb Williams, and others are set to play pivotal roles in their respective games, offering opportunities for fantasy success.
