Start 'Em Up: Week 10 Starts and Sleepers

Quarterbacks

Start: Drake Maye (vs. Bucs) is in a high octane matchup that expects to be competitive until the very end. Maye ranks incredibly high in the WalterPicks app this week, and we recommend starting him wherever you have him.

Start: Jared Goff (vs. Commanders) has an excellent matchup with a Commanders defense that is allowing some of the most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. The Lions are reeling after a loss to the Vikings, and we are anticipating the Lions to put the foot on the gas against a Washington team that is reeling in their own right.

Sleeper: J.J. McCarthy (vs. Ravens) is in a matchup that may appear scarier than it really is. The Ravens’ pass rush is very weak, and they do not have the cornerbacks to contain the weapons Minnesota has. McCarthy is also a capable runner, giving him even more appeal in deep leagues or DFS contests.

Running Backs

Start: Quinshon Judkins (vs. Jets) is a smash play, especially with Quinnen Williams out of the equation. He practiced early in the week, and is expected to garner a full workload against the bereft-of-talent New York Jets.

Start: Saquon Barkley (vs. Packers) has been a disappointment in many instances this season, but he is coming off his best game of the season, and we recommend continuing to play him with confidence against the Packers. Green Bay just got Rico Dowdle’d, and now we are projecting them to get Saquon Barkley’d.

Sleeper: Isaiah Davis (vs. Browns) is coming off a great performance prior to the Jets’ bye. He has a tough matchup, but he offers a pass-catching skill set, and he could put that to good use this week. He is a desperation play in PPR leagues.

Wide Receivers

Start: Ladd McConkey (vs. Steelers) has an elite matchup and we are projecting him to take advantage. He is more consistent than the other LAC WRs, and he is impacted the least by the emergence of Oronde Gadsden. McConkey is a must-start.

Start: Marvin Harrison Jr. (vs. Seahawks) is a great start as long as Jacoby Brissett is the QB. The Seahawks are a wagon, but we are projecting the game script to be conducive to MHJ’s success.

Sleeper: Parker Washington (vs. Texans) is the pass-catcher for Duvall that is going to play the most snaps this week. He has seen 19 targets across his last 2 games, and even though the matchup is tough, he can be started this week.

Tight Ends

Start: Kyle Pitts (vs. Colts) is someone we are recommending you play once again. Indy has struggled against opposing tight ends, and Pitts in very tough to bench right now.

Sleeper: Isaiah Likely (vs. Vikings) is playing lots of snaps, and we recommend considering him as an option in deep leagues. The Vikings are not great against tight ends, and Lamar adds an immeasurable level of explosiveness to this offense.

Things to Watch Closely for Fantasy in Week 10

• Jameson Williams in a great matchup

• The Commanders’ offense in a very tough spot

• Treveyon Henderson

• Will Lamar Jackson run more this week?

• Jakobi Meyers and Rashid Shaheed

• Chargers offense without Joe Alt… again

• Rico Dowdle

DFS Favorites

These are some of the players Walter recommends prioritizing in your FanDuel and DraftKings lineups.

QB: J.J. McCarthy, FD price: $7,100 DK Price: $4,900, is going to be low-owned, and has a great game script. He is incredibly stackable in a dome game with Baltimore. He is someone to sprinkle in big contests.

RB: James Cook, FD Price: $9,200 DK Price: $7,500, is someone that is going to have a massive ceiling this week. The Dolphins struggle against opposing RBs, and Cook is cook-ing. He is a stud to strongly consider.

*Cook missed some practices this week. Be sure to check his status before locking him in.

WR: Demario Douglas, FD Price: $5,600 DK Price: $4,000, has a great opportunity to continue his high-ceiling season this week. The game is going to be high-scoring and competitive. Additionally, it is likely that Kayshon Boutte misses this week, opening up more opportunities for Pop.

TE: George Kittle, FD Price: $6,100 DK Price: $4,500, is worth starting in DFS this week. He has a good floor and a great ceiling in a matchup where they will be playing from behind.

My Favorite Upset Pick of Week 10

Steelers to beat the Chargers on Sunday Night Football

Odds: +125

Spread: LAC -2.5

Reasoning: The Steelers just defeated the Colts, and I am projecting them to create some major issues for the Chargers’ offensive line. Every game is so valuable for Pittsburgh, especially with the Ravens on their tail. This week, do not be surprised if the Steelers win once again.
