Fantasy Football Week 10 Start 'Em Sit 'Em

Quarterbacks
Start 'Em
Bryce Young at NO
Bryce Young is coming off one of his best games of the season. He threw for 276 yards and three touchdowns on 28 of 39 passing against Denver, good for 21.3 fantasy points. Now he gets a Saints defense that allows the fifth-most passing yards per game. Carolina also has the league’s highest pass play rate at 64.2%, so the volume should be there again. I think Young is a very safe QB1 this week.
Aaron Rodgers at CIN
Aaron Rodgers is coming off the bye and is one of 4for4’s top quarterback streaming picks this week, rostered in just 34% of Yahoo leagues. The Bengals rank 21st in pass defense, and Rodgers has already beaten them once this year, throwing 292 yards and three touchdowns in Pittsburgh’s Week 3 win. He hasn’t been consistent, and he finished as the QB19 in Week 7 because the receiving room has been thin. This is a streaming play rather than a lock, but I think he has a great chance to give you a solid week.
Sit 'Em
Trevor Lawrence at TEN
The Jaguars are in the midst of what could be a Super Bowl run this season and while Trevor Lawrence may be one of the best Quarterbacks in the league, his Fantasy value doesn't quite meet his elite status. Lawrence plays efficient, but not statistically great football when the Jaguars are in a blowout, which they have been q few times this season. Against the Titans, I expect Lawrence to put up a cool 200 yards and TD performance, but nothing close to a 20+ Fantasy game.
Jayden Daniels at NYG
Very similar to Lawrence, Daniels has played decent football this season without setting the world on fire. Daniels had his first turnover all season last week with a fumble but has also only had 7 TDs to his name too. In a rivalry game in New York, I'd expect Daniels to be conservtive again as the Commanders offense continues to struggle to put up points.
Running Backs
Start 'Em
Zach Charbonnet at LV
Zach Charbonnet looks like he’s taking over the RB1 job in Seattle as he works back from his ACL tear. His snap share jumped from 36.5% to 56.7% last week, and he ran 16 times for 77 yards. PrizePicks also notes that his 19 pass snaps point to PPR upside, which matters in full PPR. He’s expected to get about 65% of the carries when he and Jadarian Price are both healthy. The Raiders allow 24.2 fantasy points per game to RBs, the fourth most in the league, and 5.0 yards per carry, which ranks 31st. I’m confident treating him as an RB2 with a little more upside.
Audric Estime vs CAR
Audric Estime has stepped into a bigger role in New Orleans than anyone expected. He led the Saints’ backfield in Week 9, racking up 16 touches to Alvin Kamara’s nine. Carolina is one of three teams to allow at least 11 rushing touchdowns to running backs. The catch in full PPR is that he profiles as a better fit for a short-yardage and goal-line role than as a receiving back, so I think this is a touchdown-dependent flex with his volume alone presenting major upside. Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is still on injured reserve, but his return would put Estime’s early-down volume at risk. Nevertheless, if Etienne is out Estime should hold bell cow duties once again.
Sit 'Em
Derrick Henry vs LAC
Unfortunately for Henry, becoming a main stay on the "Sit 'Em" list really isn't his fault. The Ravens will be starting Jacoby Brissett at Quarterback ahead of their MNF against the winless Chargers and while that could lead to 15+ carries for Henry, it could also mean they'll be trying to throw the ball in the 4th to recover from a huge deficit... for the 3rd week in a row.
Chase Brown vs PIT
Brown has had an okay but not great season, and certainly not great in Fantasy. The Bengals are obviously playing air raid this season and while Brown has been their leading rusher, he hasn't scored a single touchdown since Week 1. The Steelers defense will be coming to town off of a BYE and shouldn't make Brown's life any easier this week.
Wide Receivers
Start 'Em
Caleb Douglas at IND
Malik Willis is on injured reserve for at least four games, and backup Kyle McCord is in line to start this week at Indianapolis. That’s a concern for any Miami pass catcher, but Douglas is the one I’d still trust. He led the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets in Week 9, catching 6 of 8 targets for 70 yards. He’s averaging 7.0 targets over his last two games and leads Miami with 2.26 yards per route run. That target volume gives him a real floor in full PPR. The Colts rank 30th in points allowed per game and 32nd in yards per play. I’d treat Douglas a high upside flex who could win you your matchup if he hits.
Jameson Williams vs NE
Jameson Williams has been volatile all year, but I think this is a good week to trust him. Christian Gonzalez is expected to shadow Amon-Ra St. Brown, which could open up more targets for Williams. He had just two touches in Week 9, but he topped 16 PPR points in each of the four games before that. He’s averaging 16.7 yards per reception on the season, so any extra looks can turn into a big play. He has caught four passes or fewer in six of eight games, so the floor is lower in full PPR. He’s a high-upside WR3 rather than a safe pick
Sit 'Em
George Pickens vs SF
Not only has Pickens become the clear #2 in Dallas with Ceedee Lamb having another generational year, but he is dealing with a nagging hamstring injury this week and has been limited in practice. The injury held him to only 2 ctaches last week and with a matchup against the 49ers coming, I wouldn't expect to see him get back to his 2025 ways anytime soon.
Drake London vs KC
London has proved to me that he is indeed an elite receiver in the league when given competant QB-play, annd he has not been given that luxury over the past few weeks. Michael Penix has seemingly regressed over the past 2 weeks and has to deal with the Chiefs this week, London is still spectacular and could be a FLEX option but not much more.
Tight Ends
Start 'Em
Eli Raridon at DET
Eli Raridon is a streamer I really like this week because of the matchup. The injuries in New England’s receiver group are opening up targets, and he’s taking some looks from Hunter Henry. Detroit allows 21.1 fantasy points per game to tight ends, and opposing TEs have scored 11 touchdowns against the Lions this season. Raridon caught 3 of his 6 targets for 52 yards last week, and he averages 1.75 yards per route run, tenth among tight ends. The split with Henry caps his ceiling, but he’s a strong TE1 streamer in a game where New England will need to throw.
Tyler Higbee at ARI
With Puka Nacua expected to miss an extended stretch and Devonte Adams already on IR, Tyler Higbee becomes a name to know in the Rams offense. Nacua took 46% of the Rams’ targets, and that volume has to go somewhere. Higbee played 80% of the snaps and ran a route on 78% of dropbacks last week, and he averaged 12.1 half-PPR points in his three games with at least six targets. That number only goes up in full PPR. That’s a pretty clear path to TE1 numbers. I think he’s one of the better streamers at the position this week.
Sit 'Em
Brock Bowers vs SEA
Bowers has been a monster as of late and really all season, but the Raiders marquee trade of Kirk Cousins signals rookie, #1 pick Fernando Mendoza's first start this week. It may be at home, but it's against one of the best defenses in Seattle. Bowers will likely still be Mendoza's safety net in his first start but it should be expected to see the rookie have a few growing pains this week.
Sam LaPorta vs NE
LaPorta has stayed on this "Sit 'Em" list since his public words against the Lions regarding his ongoing contract negotiations. Since then, LaPorta is averaging just 4 targets a game and 4 fantasy points. New England would be a tough matchup anyway but LaPorta seemingly won't really be a aprt of the Lions gameplan.
