Your Fantasy Football Guide for Week 10

As fantasy football managers push for playoff spots, notable players like Patrick Mahomes, Ja'Marr Chase, and CeeDee Lamb will be missed this week due to bye weeks. Fortunately, there are some sleeper options available to help fill these gaps and potentially lead your team to victory.

Quarterback Sleeper Picks

First up is J.J. McCarthy of the Minnesota Vikings, priced at DK DFS Price: $4,900. Recently returning from a high ankle sprain, McCarthy threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another in his last game. Facing the Baltimore Ravens—who rank in the bottom tier for passing yards allowed—McCarthy is poised for a breakout performance if he can capitalize on this favorable matchup.

Another option is Davis Mills from the Houston Texans at DK DFS Price: $4,500, who steps in for the ruled-out C.J. Stroud. Mills faces a struggling Jacksonville Jaguars pass defense, which could provide him the opportunity to shine amidst the pressure on the Texans to improve their 3-5 record.

Promising Running Backs

In the wake of running back Cam Skattebo’s season-ending injury for the New York Giants, Devin Singletary should see an increased workload after leading the backfield last week. Priced at DK DFS Price: $4,100, Singletary faces the 25th-ranked Chicago Bears run defense, giving him a strong chance to capitalize on the matchup.

Wide Receiver Options

For passing threats, Christian Watson of the Green Bay Packers is another sleeper to consider at DK DFS Price: $3,900. Since returning from injury, Watson has shown explosive potential, averaging 23.8 yards per catch and could benefit from increased targets due to injuries in his team’s lineup. He has the potential to net substantial yardage against a vulnerable Philadelphia Eagles secondary.

Cade Otton from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, priced at DK DFS Price: $3,600, could find himself in a favorable position as the team's receiver corps struggles with injuries. If Chris Godwin remains sidelined, Otton’s relationship with quarterback Baker Mayfield could yield valuable fantasy points against the New England Patriots' defense.

Conclusion

This week may not be ideal without top performers, but the emerging sleepers provide an opportunity for smart managers to make strategic choices and bolster their playoff chances. Keep an eye out for these players as you finalize your lineup!
