Daily Fantasy Football Rankings Week 10
This week’s daily fantasy football rankings contain a bit more familiarity than last week’s.
With six teams on bye last weekend, and more than a few of them being relevant it was certainly an interesting and entertaining week of top scorers. With injuries this season has showcased parity like none other I’ve seen, and if you want to stay on top of your game you’ll need to use these daily fantasy football rankings!
Follow me on Twitter for more talk about daily fantasy football rankings for week 10.
Daily Fantasy Football Rankings Week 10 - Quarterbacks
5. Russell Wilson - Wilson faces an anemic Falcons secondary that has surrendered huge games all season. The Seahawks need to make a statement after their debacles the last few weeks.
4. Matthew Stafford - The Bears continue to look nothing like their teams of the past 10 years, as injuries on defense have crippled their ability. That’s good news for Stafford who is clicking with Megatron like never before.
3. Philip Rivers - Against the Broncos almost everyone gets a slight bump. The Chargers who already lead a prolific aerial assault get a big boost.
2. Drew Brees - This hasn’t been Brees’ best statistical season, but he’s still finding weapons all over the field. The Cowboys defense has given up huge games to opposing signal callers this year.
1. Peyton Manning - Is he playing this week? Okay then, he’s the number one field general.
Daily Fantasy Football Rankings Week 10 - Running Backs
5. Eddie Lacy - It was hard to displace Marshawn Lynch in the top five this week, but in the end it came down to usage. The Packers without Aaron Rodgers will have no choice but to ride Lacy all day.
4. LeSean McCoy - He’s one of the few preseason big names that has remained steady all season. Against an average Green Bay team his normal usage should be enough to justify the ranking.
3. Adrian Peterson - I expect AP to continue dominance all season now that the coaching staff has decided to wizen up. The matchup with Washington is a dream. If not for the points per reception scoring format he’d be number one overall.
2. Reggie Bush - Chicago is awful in all facets of defense. Bush has been semi-quiet recently, and I believe he’s due for a big week.
1. Matt Forte - There’s simply no back more consistent in the PPR scoring format. His usage gives him tremendous upside against the Lions shaky pass defense.
Daily Fantasy Football Rankings Week 10 - Wide Receivers
5. Keenan Allen - I caught flak for listing him number five overall last week. This week he’ll repeat his ranking as a matchup with Denver can be very kind.
4. Demaryius Thomas - Speaking of that matchup, Peyton’s most explosive weapon has a great opportunity to put in work as well.
3. Andre Johnson - It’s almost a relief to rank him this highly again, as his talent has been shamefully wasted for a number of years now. With a new QB constantly looking his way the sky is the limit.
2. Brandon Marshall - He continues to be the player that Josh McCown trusts when the pocket collapses. Marshall is simply a PPR monster.
1. Calvin Johnson - As with Peyton Manning at QB, this is just a no-brainer. He’s on another level than the rest of us.
Daily Fantasy Football Rankings Week 10 - Tight Ends
5. Antonio Gates - If you haven’t figured it out from previously ranked players, this is going to be a shootout.
4. Jordan Reed - His ascension to the top tier is complete. As long as Robert Griffin continues looking his way he’s solid start.
3. Julius Thomas - This is exactly the sort of matchup where Thomas could have one of his patented huge games while the defense keys in on the outside threats.
2. Vernon Davis - The matchup is softer than you’d expect, and he’s the receiver his QB trusts the most.
1. Jimmy Graham - The Tampa-2 defense gives up huge days to tight ends on regular.
