Each week, I break down every NFL matchup to identify which players are primed to excel in Fantasy Football. I look at each player’s Fantasy scoring, opportunities, trends, and strengths, then compare them with the opposing defense’s Fantasy points and yards allowed per game.
This is the series I look forward to most each week. There will always be hits and misses, but you can count on me to have solid reasoning behind my takes either way. We “Play 2 Win” here, and that’s the goal of this series: to help you win your matchup every week.

Week 10 Fantasy Football Winners
Jayden Daniels vs. NYG
Jayden Daniels has finished outside the Top-15 Fantasy quarterbacks the last two weeks, but before the Week 7 BYE he posted scores of 32.3 and then 21 Fantasy Points, which were inside the Top-seven. Of Daniels’ five full games played this season, he has finished two games with multiple passing touchdowns, two games with 274/300 passing yards, and a game where he rushed for 103 yards and two rushing touchdowns. So the upside is clearly there and can pop on any given week.
JD5 has a great opportunity to bounce back for Fantasy Football in Week 10 against a Giants defense allowing the fifth-most Fantasy PPG to quarterbacks. Daniels posted his best Fantasy week of the season against this Giants team back in Week 5, when he had that massive rushing day mentioned above. Joe Milton III just rushed for 64 against this group; five different quarterbacks have thrown multiple touchdowns against them, and two of those quarterbacks threw three or more touchdowns.
Trevor Lawrence vs. TEN
Trevor Lawrence had a down Week 9 for Fantasy Football, but has finished four weeks this season with 20+ Fantasy Points. TLaw has thrown for 300+ yards twice and has thrown three or more touchdowns four times, which shows his passing upside. Of quarterbacks with at least 100 passing attempts, Lawrence is tied for first in yards per attempt (8.6). Lawrence has also been a top-three quarterback in passer rating.
Lawrence will face a Titans defense in Week 10 that allows the seventh-most Fantasy PPG to quarterbacks and the second-most passing yards per game this season. The last four quarterbacks to face the Titans have steadily increased in passing yard totals: 261 to 269 to 308 to 462. This is a smash passing matchup for a guy who has shown plenty of passing upside so far this season.
Aaron Rodgers vs. CIN
Aaron Rodgers has been steadily trending down in Fantasy Football scoring over his last three games, but the Week 9 BYE could have served as a good reset for the veteran. Rodgers has finished three weeks with 22+ Fantasy Points this season, so he still has some Fantasy juice left at 42 years old. In those three weeks, Rodgers finished all three with three passing touchdowns, and two of them with 292/299 passing yards. Rodgers is averaging 36 passing attempts per game, so the volume is definitely there.
Rodgers will face a Bengals defense in Week 10 that allows the 12th-most passing yards per game, with two quarterbacks throwing for over 300 yards against them. Joe Burrow has been on fire and will create a game script that will mean plenty of passing from Rodgers. Personnel obviously changes between seasons, but in one of his Bengals matchups last year, Rodgers finished with four touchdown passes.
Chuba Hubbard vs. NO
Chuba Hubbard has had quite the redemption season and has been a safe running back to roster for Fantasy Football with no games under double-digit scoring. Hubbard has finished five games with 79+ rushing yards, two games with 120+ rushing yards, scored five rushing touchdowns, finished four games with four or more receptions, and scored two receiving touchdowns this season. Hubbard has produced 23+ Fantasy Points three times, showing solid upside there.
Hubbard will face a Saints defense in Week 10 that allows the most Fantasy PPG to running backs and the fifth-most rushing yards per game this season. Four running backs have rushed for over 100 yards against New Orleans this season. This is a smash matchup that Hubbard can definitely eat in, especially with his recent boosted role in the passing game.
Ollie Gordon II vs. IND
Ollie Gordon II has cooled off for Fantasy Football the last two weeks, but scored 14+ Fantasy Points in his previous four games before this. Gordon has operated as the lead back for Miami in six games, and he has rushed for 100+ yards in two of those and scored four rushing touchdowns. Gordon has earned 17+ touches in five of his six starts, which is very safe volume for a guy who has produced well since operating as the RB1.
Gordon will face a Colts defense in Week 10 that allows the fourth-most Fantasy PPG to running backs and the third-most rushing yards per game. Five running backs have rushed for over 100 yards against Indy, and six have scored a rushing touchdown. The Colts are a depleted offense following the trade deadline, so this game can actually favor plenty of Gordon rushing, on top of Malik Willis being out.
Zach Charbonnet vs. LV
Zach Charbonnet returned to football in Week 8 following his major knee injury recovery. In Week 9, Charbs saw a snap percentage leap from 37% to 57%, and also went from nine to 17 touches. This increase in field time and work is encouraging, even with Jadarian Price staying involved. Charbonnet rushed for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns last season for those who forgot.
Charbonnet will face a Raiders defense in Week 10 that allows the third-most Fantasy PPG to running backs and the most rushing yards per game this season. Eight running backs have scored a rushing touchdown against the Raiders, which is appealing for Charbs, whose upside was directly tied to scoring touchdowns last season. An easy anytime touchdown bet to place this week.
Breece Hall vs. BUF
After missing five games due to injury, Breece Hall returned in Week 9 to play 43% of the snaps, rush 15 times for 61 yards, and catch three balls for 26 yards. 18 touches is solid volume upon return, after Braelon Allen was going off in Hall’s absence. Hall opened up the first two games of the season with scores of 19.8/14.2 via 102 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, then 63 receiving yards in Week 2. Dual-threat flashes there.
Hall will face a Bills defense in Week 10 that allows the 10th most Fantasy PPG to running backs this season. The Bills have allowed 10 total touchdowns to opposing running backs this season. Hall stepping right back into volume after missing time is encouraging, especially with us seeing him as both an effective rusher and receiver this season. Hall should earn plenty of looks and be involved in the passing game to keep up with this Bills offense.
Jameson Williams vs. NE
Jameson Williams is coming off a down Fantasy week, after being on a hot streak scoring 16.2, then 18.7, then 26.1, and then 17 Fantasy Points in his previous four games. Williams has finished with 17+ yards per catch in his last five games straight, which fully speaks to his big-play abilities. Even more evident by weeks of 102/91 receiving yards during this stretch. Williams has also scored five touchdowns across his last four appearances. Plenty of upside to be excited for.
Williams will face a Patriots defense in Week 10 that allows the third-most Fantasy PPG to wide receivers and the eighth-most passing yards per game this season. Six different wide receivers have produced over 100 receiving yards against the Patriots this year. The game script in this Jared Goff vs. Drake Maye matchup should include plenty of offense on both ends, which means plenty of passing. Jamo will bounce back for Fantasy Football this week.
Zay Flowers vs. LAC
Zay Flowers has finished with 0.0 and then 5.3 Fantasy Points the last two weeks, but Jacoby Brissett is here to save him. Despite playing with multiple quarterbacks this season, Flowers has found plenty of success. Three weeks earning 10+ targets, three weeks with eight receptions, three games ranging from 118-150 receiving yards, three receiving touchdowns, two weeks with 17/20 rushing yards, and three weeks with 25+ Fantasy Points. Brissett did a great job the last two seasons supporting Trey McBride and Michael Wilson for Fantasy, so up next is Zay.
Flowers will face a Chargers defense in Week 10 that allows the fifth-most Fantasy PPG to wide receivers. The Chargers have allowed 11 receiving touchdowns to nine different wide receivers and five wide receivers to produce 75+ receiving yards. After two frustrating weeks in a row, the Ravens will feature Flowers plenty in their game plan, and I expect a big bounce-back week for Fantasy Football.
Denzel Boston vs. HOU
Denzel Boston has finished five weeks with double-digit scoring for Fantasy this season, with two of those being at 20.5/15.8 Fantasy Points. The rookie has finished games with 95/89/98 receiving yards, finished three weeks with 20+ yards per reception, and scored three touchdowns this year. While Boston makes the big plays, he has been consistently earning opportunities to make them via six weeks of seven or more targets.
Up next for Boston is a Texans defense allowing the second-most Fantasy PPG to wide receivers and the sixth-most passing yards per game this season. Nine wide receivers have produced 75+ receiving yards against the Texans this season. Boston is coming off his season-high in receiving yards and can continue momentum as a solid FLEX play in Week 10 in a smash matchup.
Demario Douglas vs. DET
Demario Douglas has been on absolute fire, and I feel like nobody has been talking about it. Across five weeks, Douglas has ranged from 15.2-22.5 Fantasy Points in four of those games. During this stretch, Douglas has finished weeks with 86/76/102 receiving yards and scored four total touchdowns. For a “slot guy”, Douglas also finished three of these mentioned weeks with 16+ yards per reception. Yes, AJ Brown has been out of the mix, but yes, Douglas has produced very well with Drake Maye as a much different receiver.
Douglas will face a Lions defense in Week 10 that allows the ninth-most Fantasy PPG to wide receivers and the most passing yards per game this season. Seven wide receivers have produced 60+ receiving yards against the Lions. Even if AJ Brown returns, he may not be at 100% and again plays a different type of role. There will be plenty of offense from both sides in this matchup, so I will ride the hot hand with Douglas as a solid FLEX play this week for Fantasy Football.
Antonio Williams vs. NYG
Terry McLaurin is out for the season, which has boosted Antonio Williams’ role. The rookie has played 83%/84% of the snaps the last two weeks and has led the Commanders in targets during this span (13), but neither game was very Fantasy Football effective. Williams has finished three weeks with 50+ receiving yards and two weeks with double-digit Fantasy Points. I was a big fan of Williams as a prospect due to his playmaking abilities and versatility. The big game is coming.
Williams will face a Giants defense in Week 10 that allows the 12th most passing yards per game this season. Four wide receivers have produced 60+ receiving yards and nine have scored a touchdown against the Giants. Williams is set up nicely to capitalize on his expanded role in a good matchup and produce FLEX numbers for this coming week.
Isaiah Likely vs. WAS
Isaiah Likely is coming off a 16.3 Fantasy score after catching five balls for 53 yards and a touchdown. Likely has finished four weeks ranging from that 16.3 to 32.4 Fantasy Points, in a breakout season for Fantasy Football despite playing with multiple quarterbacks in New York. Likely has two games of 94/99 receiving yards and has scored six touchdowns this season. Likely’s 70 targets trail Malik Nabers by just eight this season, which shows his role in this Giants offense.
Up next for Likely is a Commanders defense allowing the second-most Fantasy PPG to tight ends and the third-most passing yards per game. This is a rematch for Likely, who caught 11 passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns against the Commanders back in Week 5. A breakout season, in a smash matchup that Likely already…smashed in…is good math here for Fantasy Football.
Tyler Warren vs. MIA
Tyler Warren missed Weeks 6-7, then scored under nine Fantasy Points the next two games. Warren did produce three weeks of 14+ Fantasy Points across his opening five games before his injury, so we have seen some good days. Warren scored a touchdown in both of his first two games, and rushed for one in Week 5. Warren also racked up 83 yards in Week 5. Although he has been down as of late, Warren has earned 17 targets across the last two weeks of football.
Warren will face a Dolphins defense in Week 10 that allows the fourth-most Fantasy PPG to tight ends this season. Miami has allowed six touchdowns to tight ends this season. The Colts traded away both Keenan Allen and Josh Downs recently, so Warren will be even further emphasized in this offense moving forward. Week 10 will be a Warren bounce-back.
