NFL Scores Week 10: Results and Top Fantasy Football Stars for Sunday Games

Somewhere, there's an owner who had long since given up on his fantasy football team and by pure coincidence started Josh McCown this week. Well, the joke's on everybody else, as McCown went for 301 yards and two touchdowns for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The 35-year-old was one of the biggest fantasy surprises in Week 10. While he wasn't the highest-scoring quarterback on Sunday, he was among the best.

It just goes to show that sometimes, it pays to be completely neglectful with your fantasy team.

You can see a few other top performers below from Sunday.

Top Fantasy Performers from Week 10

Tony Romo, QB, Dallas Cowboys

USA TODAY Sports

Right before the Dallas Cowboys took on the Jacksonville Jaguars, ESPN's Ed Werder tweeted this out:

Fast forward to the end of the game, and the Cowboys walked away with a 31-17 victory while Romo threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns. It was his second-best fantasy performance of the season behind Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints.

Romo could've stayed in the locker room at halftime and still would've been one of the best fantasy QBs in Week 10:

Many will likely dismiss those stats as nothing since they came against the Jags, but Jacksonville's defense is in the top half of the league. Football Outsiders ranks the Jaguars 10th in defensive DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) and 13th in pass defense DVOA.

Torching that secondary for 200-plus yards and three TDs is no easy feat.

Not to mention Romo's lingering back injury, which was a complete non-factor for the Cowboys star. Even if Romo isn't 100 percent for the next few weeks, he at least showed on Sunday that he can continue playing at a very high level despite the injury. That's only good news for the fantasy owners relying on the Dallas quarterback.

Justin Forsett, RB, Baltimore Ravens

Justin Forsett continues to be a revelation this season. Ten games into 2014, he's already set career highs for rushing yards (721) and rushing touchdowns (five).

The Baltimore Ravens running back was the cream of the crop during the early games Sunday afternoon, rushing for 112 yards and two touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans. Considering how bad the Titans have been against the run this year, Forsett looked poised for a big game, and he duly delivered.

He hadn't rushed for two touchdowns in one game since 2009, per ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley:

Forsett and Arizona running back Andre Ellington are in the same boat in that they've consistently rushed for a lot of yards but have failed to find the end zone on a regular basis. Ellington at least has his pass-catching out of the backfield to boost his fantasy value.

Forsett is undoubtedly a No. 1 fantasy running back, so if he can get some more rushing TDs over the coming weeks, he'll begin climbing into that elite category.

Dez Bryant, WR, Dallas Cowboys

If Romo had a big day, then it's a safe assumption that Dez Bryant did as well. The Cowboys wideout went off to the tune of six receptions for 158 yards and two touchdowns.

Grantland's Robert Mays wanted to make sure that Jaguars cornerback Dwayne Gratz is in everybody's prayers tonight after Bryant completely embarrassed him:

Like Romo, most—in this case, all—of Bryant's damage came in the first half, which represented the second-best receiving performance of his career, per ESPN Stats & Info:

Bryant has been a bit of a disappointment this year in that he was expected to be one of the top two or three fantasy wide receivers but has failed to do so. Being the fourth-best WR on NFL.com isn't enough with a player of his ability.

It would be unfair to expect Bryant to keep getting 150 yards receiving and two TDs in every game. However, in the next few weeks, maybe he can start putting up stats more commensurate with an elite WR.

Jimmy Graham, TE, New Orleans Saints

Jimmy Graham did Jimmy Graham-like things Sunday. Ten receptions for 76 yards and two touchdowns is almost par for the course for the New Orleans Saints tight end by now. Starting Graham is basically like eating pizza; nothing is better than really good pizza, and even bad pizza is still pizza.

Few things are more guaranteed to hit in fantasy football than Graham. He's the unquestioned No. 1 TE for a reason, and he demonstrated why against the 49ers.

Graham nearly had a third touchdown on a Hail Mary at the end of regulation in the Saints' overtime loss. The referees, however, flagged Graham for offensive pass interference, which looked to be the right call.

Graham spoke about the decision after the game, per Evan Woodbery of The Times-Picayune:

Had the officials swallowed their whistles, the TD would've been the cherry on top of an already impressive day for the New Orleans star.
