WEEK 10 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS: Return of the back
Enjoy it folks! Enjoy fantasy football while it is still here. Remember to not get too upset about loss and take in all the fun that fantasy football provides. Why am I getting sentimental? Well gang, we are already more than halfway through the fantasy season. We are staring down the barrel of Week 10 and whether we’re looking to win now (check out my buy/sell article and WIN NOW BUYS on YouTube) or getting ready for the future we all have big time decisions to make. My Week 10 rankings are OUT NOW so let me dive into some of the most important aspects of setting fantasy football lineups.
Veteran TEs on the Rise
Fantasy football is a flat circle. Last year was the rise of the next generation of productive tight ends, this year started off with everyone performing like busters. Now heading into Week 10, George Kittle, Travis Kelce, and Mark Andrews are all sitting in my top five. Kittle is the tight end outlier in WoRP this season and faces a soft matchup against the Bucs. Kelce has seen 28 targets and caught 24 of them over the last two weeks and Andrews has been on fire three of the last four weeks. On top of that, Evan Engram, Hunter Henry, and even Mike Gesicki have played their way into the top 10 for this week. Gesicki believes it or not has emerged as Joe Burrow’s number two option whenever Tee Higgins is out. The tight end landscape has been a roller coaster ride from the underworld but it seems like experience has risen to the top.
Dak’s Injury Trickle Down
Dak Prescott hurt his hamstring and it is looking like a multi-week injury. That sucks but what does that mean for Week 10? It is certainly a massive negative. Even though he has played relatively well with Cooper Rush in the past, CeeDee Lamb (who is also banged up) is outside of my top five for the first time all season. Jalen Tolbert who has been starting to look like a solid flex option has now been tanked in the ranks. Jake Ferguson is still inside my top 12 at tight end but that is really more a reflection of the position than it is an endorsement on his potential production. Rico Dowdle could end up seeing a bunch of check downs which is why he is still locked into the RB 2 range. The Cowboys have been so disappointing this season as a whole but Dak’s injury is just the disappointing cherry on a super disappointing sundae.
What’s the Deal With These Running Backs?
I hope you read the headline in Jerry Seinfeld’s voice. It reads so much funnier that way. The running back position has been a beacon of light in 2024. Half of the top 20 in WoRP are running backs. This week projects to continue to follow this season’s trend. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable starting all the backs from 1 to 30 in Week 10. Kareem Hunt, David Montgomery, Najee Harris, Chase Brown, Tony Pollard, and J.K. Dobbins are just a few players that have been awesome lately and none of them cracked the top 15. There are a lot of teams at the top of their fantasy league that are starting one or maybe even two running backs in their flex spots. This week, just like this season, is packed with productive running backs.
