Welcome to Week 10 of the fantasy football season! Below I have some NFL players and thoughts on their fantasy value this week. Remember, don’t blindly bench guys who are “sits.” Your fantasy team will dictate if you even can bench a player or not.

The Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take next week off for some rest.

We need to keep an eye on Lock’s elbow and oblique injuries, but he’s set up with a great matchup this week. The Raiders are second-worst in allowing fantasy points to quarterbacks. They’ve allowed two or more passing touchdowns in every game except the first two of the season, as Malik Willis and Justin Herbert only manage one touchdown a piece. I do expect the Seahawks to focus on running the ball, while the Raiders should have trouble offensively with rookie QB Fernando Mendoza taking the wheel against the Seahawks defense, which ranks Top 5 in most defensive categories this season.

We can’t expect huge numbers from Lock, but when you’ve got Jaxon Smith-Njigba to throw to and a great matchup, points will be had.

Young had a good bounce back fantasy game last week against a top Broncos defense, as he completed 28-of-39 passes for 276 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. This week he gets a much better matchup against a Saints team that doesn’t have a strong pass rush and have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to QBs over the last five. Sheuder Sanders just threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns against them, while they rank in the bottom ten of almost all pass defense metrics so far.

Stafford gets a great matchup here, but he is now throwing to a lot of players not named Puka Nacua or Davante Adams. With Carson Beck starting for the Cardinals and Michael Wilson done for the year, the Rams are going to run the ball a ton. Start Kyren Williams and Blake Corum and be afraid of this passing offense without their best two receivers.

Can you sit Love at this point? A lot depends on your other choices, but playing the Vikings so far this season hasn’t been profitable for opposing quarterbacks. Just last Monday night, Brian Flores’ defense held the No. 1 fantasy QB, Josh Allen, to his worst fantasy finish of the season. Yes, Love put up the best game of the season against the Vikings back in Week 1, but I expect Flores now has plenty of film to scheme his defense to take on this great passing offense.

Charbonnet has finally returned to a big role in the Seahawks offense. Last week he out-touched Jadarian Price 17 to 13. Price ended up with a better PPR game due to his four receptions for 54 yards, but Charbonnet saw more snaps and routes run. This backfield is fairly evenly split, but I want Charbonnet, especially in games where the Seahawks should lead.

The Raiders have allowed the highest yards per rushing attempt and rushing yards per game to running backs this season. You can probably play both of the Seattle backs, but I would prioritize Charbonnet.

The Dolphins will likely trot Kyle McCord out at QB in Week 10 after Malik Willis went on IR with a groin injury. That’s not great for the Dolphins offense, but the Colts just shipped off their two best defenders ahead of the trade deadline. Gordon had a tough matchup last week against a good Lions run defense, but that changes this week. The Colts rank seventh-worst at fantasy points allowed to running backs. They’ve also allowed the third-most rushing yards per game and fifth-most yards per carry at 4.9. I’d feel good about running Gordon out there in this matchup.

Can you really sit the white-hot Pollard this week? Maybe not, but I’d think about it in smaller leagues this week. The Jaguars run defense has been one of the best in the league so far. They’re holding opposing running backs to 3.6 yards per carry and just five touchdowns through eight games. Of course Pollard has scored five touchdowns in his last two games, but we know he can’t keep that up. Right?

I like Kiner as a desperation flex this week, as he should get the early down work with both Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson out. But, if he was used more as a receiver, I’d feel much better about starting him this week. The Lions are much worse against the pass than the run and the Patriots are hurting at running back. I expect Drake Maye and company will throw it early and often in what could be a high scoring affair through the air. Unless the Patriots get out to a decent lead in Detroit, Kiner’s usage is likely to be low in a pass-first matchup.

Coker has hit a lull in his season. After a hot start, he hasn’t topped 36 receiving yards in any of his last three games. That has a lot to do with the Panthers offensive line and Bryce Young regressing. The good news is that Young played much better last week against a strong Broncos pass defense. That defense was able to hold down the Panthers receivers with Patrick Surtain and company, but Young took the path of least resistance by targeting their tight ends. This week the receivers get a much better matchup, as the Saints are bottom 10 in all pass rushing metrics and just gave up big games to the Browns two rookie receivers.

Tyson only saw around a quarter of the snaps last week, but he still managed to catch 4-of-5 targets. Yes, he fumbled on his first reception near the goal line, but it was a good play by the defender while Tyson tried to dive toward the end zone. I’m more worried about him tweaking his hamstring again than him fumbling.

Tyson’s usage is just going to go up and when he’s out there running routes, Tyler Shough is going to target him. Maybe we should wait another game, but the skill is there and it sure looks like the opportunity could be there this week.

We need to keep an eye on George Pickens’ status for this week, but no matter if he plays or not, this is a tough matchup for the Cowboys wide receivers. The 49ers have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the position. They’ve also allowed the second-fewest yards per reception.

I do expect Pickens will return from his hamstring injury after almost playing last week. And if that’s so, I feel even better about sitting Flournoy. He’s had some nice games of late, but his usage remains low, with four or fewer targets in his last three games.

Tucker has been inconsistent this season, and now will get rookie Fernando Mendoza instead of Kirk Cousins throwing the ball toward him. I’d like to see how Mendoza looks before trusting Tucker. And against this Seahawks defense, I’m definitely sitting him. Seattle has given up the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. On the year, only four receivers have hit double-digit fantasy points against them.

The Colts just traded away Keenan Allen and Josh Downs and have none of their starting receivers left, which leaves Warren as the No. 1 receiver. Yes, the Dolphins’ defense will focus on him, but the volume should outweigh extra defenders in his vicinity. You were probably going to start him anyway, but just let me give you an extra boost.

Washington has shown upside this season, but consistency remains tough in a run-first offense. This week though, the Steelers will be hard pressed to shut down the Bengals passing attack and should need to throw more often than they’d like. The good news is that the Bengals have been weak against tight ends this season, allowing the fifth-most receptions and the third most receiving yards against the position.

Can the Packers move the ball against the top defense in the league? Yes, they can. They did it in Week 1, but despite a 19-10 lead at halftime, the Vikings won the game 39-22. In that game, Carson Wentz threw three touchdowns in a come from behind victory, with the help of the defense holding the Packers to one field goal in the second half.

On the season, no tight end has hit double-digit fantasy points against the Vikings. Kraft did have three receptions for 65 yards in Week 1, which is the most yards the Vikings have allowed to a tight end all season. But, that’s still not a good fantasy day and I don’t want to bet on him being the first to hit over 9 fantasy points against the Vikings as a tight end.

The Rams currently have allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. That’s good, but doesn’t sound like they are shutting down opposing tight ends completely. Well, that is true, but they’ve also faced George Kittle, Brock Bowers, Dalton Kincaid, McBride, and Isiah Likely. Those five tight ends combined to catch 21-of-34 targets for 178 yards and no touchdowns. That’s 5.2 yards per target and 8.4 yards per catch. On the season they’re allowing 5.8 yards per target and 9 yards per reception to tight ends. When the best tight ends come to play, the Rams show up. And with Michael Wilson done for the season, the team should be able to bracket McBride all game.

This week the Cardinals will start rookie Carson Beck. He should target McBride 10+ times while Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett harass him. Of course, this is one of, if not the top tight end in the league right now. You most-likely have to start him, but we should lower our expectations this week. And if you happen to have George Kittle going up against Dallas, I’d start George.
