We’re entering double-digit weeks of his season Fantasy NFL, and whether you find yourself at the top of the league standings or fighting to stay in the playoff hunt, making the right decision about who to start in the top spot is essential. The Week 10 QB rankings can help you with your starting or sitting decisions.
While six teams (Browns, Cowboys, Broncos, Giants, Steelers, 49ers) return from a bye, four other teams (Ravens, Bengals, Patriots, Jets) are inactive in Week 10. Lamar Jackson Y Joe Barrow are the two most notable QBs going into Week 10, forcing their respective owners to turn to streamers. As we do every week, we’ve identified a handful of viable options. Some of those QBs include Jimmy Garoppolo (vs. Chargers in Week 10), Marcus Mariota (@ Panthers ), Andy Dalton (@ Steelers ), Baker Mayfield (vs. Falcons ) and Jacoby Brissett (@ Dolphins ).
Garoppolo has one of the most talented supporting casts and is always capable of throwing a few TDs. Mariota’s ability to run makes him solid, especially against a team that just caught fire in Week 8. Mayfield, assuming he starts after replacing an ineffective PJ Walker last week, is likely to throw the ball. ranked last, while Brissett is coming off his best game of the season and faces a Dolphins defense that entered Week 9 allowing the seventh-most points per game (FPPG) to a QB (20.2) in the Fantasy NFL. Perhaps most notably, Brissett is averaging 267.3 passing yards over his last three games.so your floor is a bit higher than you think.

If we go deeper, Sam Ehlinger (@Raiders) and Kenny Pickett (vs. Saints) are also in good shape, but it’s hard to risk in any of them except in two-QB/superflex leagues. The Raiders were at or near the top of the chart for FPPG allowed to QBs, so Ehlinger has a decent floor when you consider his rushing ability, but he’s far from “For sure”. The same goes for Pickett, who has shown potential but is also inconsistent.
Matthew Stafford (vs. Cardinals), Russell Wilson (against the Titans) and Tom Brady (against the Seahaws) have disappointed a lot of people, but they should be in line to play well this week. The Cardinals and Titans are in the top 10 in FPPG allowed to QBs in Week 9, and Seattle is 12th in passing yards allowed per game. These veterans are tough to stick with, but they all have solid weapons around them, so they should be able to produce some solid matchups. So are youngsters Justin Fields (vs. Lions), who has become a must-play player thanks to his running ability, and Trevor Lawrence (vs. Chiefs).

Conversely, some QBs a little lower in our rankings who could be better this week are Kirk Cousins (@Bills), Aaron Rodgers (vs. Cowboys), Derek Carr (vs. Colts), and Daniel Jones (vs. Texans). ). Cousins and Rodgers are facing defenses that have done a good job of limiting QBs., as both the Bills and Cowboys rank in the top six in fewest FPPG allowed, while Carr and Jones haven’t shown high floors or ceilings this year. They’re not the worst picks, but you could probably do better with someone like Garoppolo, Mariota, or Dalton.
