Fantasy Football Insights: Week 10 Recap
As Week 10 of the fantasy football season wraps up, several players are worth your attention. Here’s a rundown of some standout performances and what to expect moving forward.
Quarterbacks
Jacoby Brissett, Cardinals
Brissett had a solid outing despite a tough game overall for the Cardinals. He threw for 258 yards and two touchdowns, and even added 31 rushing yards. Overall, he’s been consistent, throwing for at least two touchdowns in every start this season. His pass attempts are noticeably higher, indicating that the Cardinals are letting him air it out. With upcoming games, he could be a valuable QB2 option.
Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins
Next week, Tua faces a struggling Commanders defense that’s given up a lot of fantasy points to quarterbacks. Tua has been reliable, with multiple touchdown passes in six games this year. If you’re looking for a quarterback, Tua is a solid choice in a favorable matchup.
Marcus Mariota, Commanders
Mariota steps in again as the starter and has shown he can produce, with at least one passing touchdown in each of his starts. He’s set to face a Miami defense that’s been generous to quarterbacks, making him a player to watch.
Running Backs
Sean Tucker, Bucs
Tucker is gaining traction in the Bucs’ backfield, putting up solid numbers next to Rachaad White. With a tough matchup against the Bills coming up, Tucker’s recent performance puts him on the radar as a potential RB3.
Tyler Allgeier, Falcons
Allgeier has taken over crucial goal-line duties, outperforming Bijan Robinson in red zone carries. The Falcons will play Carolina next, and Allgeier looks poised to score again, given his recent performance.
Blake Corum, Rams
Corum has consistently contributed, touching the ball at least a dozen times over the last few games. He’s creeping up in the Rams’ pecking order and could be a valuable option against the Seahawks.
Brian Robinson, 49ers
Robinson is turning heads with his back-to-back scoring games. His stats are improving, and he’s emerging as a solid insurance option in the 49ers’ fluctuating running back landscape.
Emari Demercado, Cardinals
With Bam Knight potentially sidelined, Demercado might step into a larger role. Keep an eye on him if Knight’s injury keeps him out.
Wide Receivers
Tez Johnson, Bucs
With injuries affecting the Bucs’ receiving corps, Johnson has stepped up. However, his low target share raises some concerns. He may be a risky boom/bust WR5 option if you’re desperate.
Parker Washington, Jaguars
Washington emerged as the Jags’ top receiver due to injuries. He’ll likely see a dip in targets when more players return, but for now, there’s WR4 potential as he builds chemistry with his quarterback.
Alec Pierce, Colts
Pierce has been a standout in terms of air yards, highlighting his potential. He’s becoming a key part of the Colts’ offense, and even though they have a bye week, he could be a smart pick-up for when they return.
Mack Hollins, Patriots
With other players missing games, Hollins stepped up, but his role may diminish if they return. He’s worth considering in deeper leagues after a solid performance.
Tight Ends
Dalton Schultz, Texans
Schultz is quietly becoming a reliable tight end, consistently seeing targets. He ranks among the top ten tight ends lately, making him an excellent option in Week 11.
Cade Otton, Bucs
With Tampa Bay’s receiving issues, Otton is starting to shine. His recent target share indicates that he’s become a trustworthy option in the tight end slot.
Theo Johnson, Giants
Johnson has stepped up in the wake of injuries, showcasing productivity and targets. He may not be a long-term solution, but for now, he’s putting up decent numbers in a struggling Giants offense.
Conclusion
Keep these players in mind as you prepare for the next round of games. With shifts in player roles and matchups, there are plenty of opportunities to improve your fantasy lineup.
