Quarterbacks
Aaron Rodgers – New York Jets (48% rostered)
It’s been a rocky season for the Jets, but Aaron Rodgers and his star-studded supporting cast may finally be finding their rhythm. With top-notch weapons like Davante Adams, Garrett Wilson, and Breece Hall, Rodgers has the firepower to turn any game into a high-scoring affair. Last week, he took full advantage of this talented roster against the Houston Texans, showcasing the chemistry he’s been building with his teammates. The Cardinals, meanwhile, have been generous to opposing QBs, allowing an average of 18.69 fantasy points per game. Rodgers has all the tools to exploit this favorable matchup, making him a confident play for Week 10.
Russell Wilson – Pittsburgh Steelers (24% rostered)
Coming off the bye, Russell Wilson has something to prove as the starting quarterback for Pittsburgh. While his fantasy output was low in Week 8 against the Giants, Wilson has looked solid overall and he has an opportunity to shine this week against the Washington Commanders. This matchup should be a high-scoring one, as Washington has been engaging in shootouts this season, and Wilson has passed for over 250 yards in his two starts as a Pittsburgh Steeler. For fantasy managers seeking a low-rostered option with upside, Wilson offers a solid streaming opportunity in Week 10.
Matthew Stafford – Los Angeles Rams (57% rostered)
Since Cooper Kupp’s return, Matthew Stafford has re-emerged as a viable fantasy QB. Even without Puka Nacua, Stafford managed to throw for nearly 300 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9, demonstrating the value of a healthier WR room in the Rams’ offense. Stafford’s matchup this week against the Miami Dolphins is especially enticing, as Miami’s defense has struggled to contain opposing offenses. If the Dolphins continue to falter on defense, Stafford could be in line for a strong fantasy performance, making him a prime streamer for Week 10 in leagues where he’s available.
Drake Maye – New England Patriots (22% rostered)
For those in need of a QB and willing to take a bold risk, Drake Maye offers an interesting streaming option. The matchup against the Chicago Bears may not be the most favorable on paper, but because of this, Maye could be an under-the-radar option who’s readily available. Maye’s rushing ability has been a bonus for fantasy managers, and his 95 rushing yards in Week 9 show he has real upside on the ground. If you need a fill-in for this week, Maye could provide surprising value as a streamer.
Kickers
Joshua Karty – Los Angeles Rams (3% rostered)
The rookie Joshua Karty is hitting his stride, nailing every attempt over the last two weeks and establishing himself as a reliable fantasy kicker. This week, he faces the Miami Dolphins in what’s expected to be a high-scoring game, with the Rams as the favorites. The Dolphins’ defense has consistently allowed opponents into scoring range, which should give Karty plenty of chances to score fantasy points. Given the Rams’ improved offensive efficiency and Miami’s defensive struggles, Karty is a solid streaming option.
Jason Sanders – Miami Dolphins (13% rostered)
Despite his many struggles this season, Jason Sanders might be a viable option this week for fantasy managers in need of a kicker. The Dolphins’ season might be virtually over, but with Tua Tagovailoa healthy and the offense moving well, Sanders has been getting regular chances to score. His performance has been a bit inconsistent due to some missed attempts, but the high-scoring nature of this week’s matchup against the Rams should provide him with enough opportunities to deliver. If you’re in need of a kicker and willing to trust Miami’s offensive potential against the Rams, Sanders is a streamer to consider this week.
Chase McLaughlin – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (36% rostered)
In a game with an over/under line of 48.5, Chase McLaughlin is set up for fantasy success in what should be a high-scoring affair against the San Francisco 49ers. McLaughlin has proven reliable throughout the season, and last week’s 52-yard field goal is proof of that. With Tampa Bay’s offense looking good despite the injuries, McLaughlin should see plenty of opportunities to make an impact in this matchup. He’s a strong streaming option for fantasy managers seeking a dependable kicker with scoring potential.
Defense/Special Teams
Detroit Lions (49% rostered)
While the Lions’ D/ST may not be widely available, they’re worth a pickup if you can grab them. Detroit has a highly favorable matchup against the Houston Texans, who have been playing without their top two receivers and struggling with pass protection. Last week, the Texans’ offensive line allowed C.J. Stroud to be sacked eight times, and with key offensive pieces missing, the Lions should be able to capitalize on this weakness. If you’re looking for a D/ST that has strong potential for sacks and turnovers, Detroit is an excellent option.
New York Giants (6% rostered)
The Giants’ season hasn’t gone as planned, but their defense has occasionally risen to the occasion in favorable matchups. This week, they face the Carolina Panthers, who have struggled with Bryce Young under center. Carolina’s offense has been inconsistent, and this game has one of the lowest over/under lines of the week. The Giants’ D/ST has a good chance to make an impact against an offense that’s prone to mistakes. The Giants could be a sneaky good, widely available play in Week 10.
New England Patriots (12% rostered)
The Patriots are facing the Chicago Bears in what could be a very low-scoring game. The Vegas line for this matchup is set at 39.5 points, and it might even hit the under, given the offensive struggles of both teams. Chicago has been relying on its defense while finding little success on offense lately, and New England’s offense hasn’t been much better. With minimal scoring likely on either side, the Patriots’ D/ST can be considered a solid streamer this week.
BONUS: Tight End
Jonnu Smith – Miami Dolphins (16% rostered)
Jonnu Smith has carved out a significant role in the Dolphins’ offense, earning an 18.1% target share over the last two weeks. Miami has specifically designed plays to get the ball in his hands, and this week, he has a dream matchup against the Rams. Los Angeles has allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends, setting Smith up as a potential fantasy difference-maker. If you’re in need of a low-rostered tight end with strong upside, Smith could be a great streaming option to boost your lineup in Week 10.
