Week 10 Fantasy Football Rankings Overview for All Positions

Week 9 ended with Monday night's showdown between the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings. Week 10 will begin with Thursday night's matchup between the Washington Commanders and New York Giants.

Unfortunately, injuries will again be a factor in Week 10, and Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua (knee) is the latest fantasy superstar to go down. The Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will also be on bye this week.

Who will be available and trustworthy in Week 10? Let's run down some early point-per-reception (PPR) rankings and examine a few sleepers who should be available on the waiver wire.

Aaron Rodgers

Rankings

1. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
2. Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers
3. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
4. Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
5. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
6. Drake Maye, New England Patriots
7. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
8. Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders
9. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions
10. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys

Sleeper: Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off their bye and are set for a pivotal matchup against the rival Cincinnati Bengals. That could mean a strong game for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers didn't do a whole lot in Pittsburgh's last two wins, but he topped 17 fantasy points in four straight games before that. The Bengals have surrendered an average of 17.9 fantasy points to opposing QBs this season.

Rodgers is rostered in only 34 percent of fantasy leagues.

Audric Estimé

Rankings

1. Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions
2. Kenneth Walker III, Kansas City Chiefs
3. Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers
4. James Cook, Buffalo Bills
5. Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers
6. Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers
7. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons
8. Javonte Williams, Dallas Cowboys
9. Bhayshul Tuten, Jacksonville Jaguars
10. Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams
11. Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts
12. Ollie Gordon II, Miami Dolphins
13. Tony Pollard, Tennessee Titans
14. Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints
15. Derrick Henry, Baltimore Ravens

Sleeper: Audric Estimé, New Orleans Saints

The Cleveland Browns released Audric Estimé early last week, and the New Orleans Saints immediately brought him back. They also pushed him right into a prominent role, and it paid off.

Against Cleveland, Estimé racked up 72 rushing yards, five receiving yards, a touchdown, and 14.7 fantasy points. This week, he'll face a Carolina Panthers defense that has been better against the run recently but not great overall.

Carolina has surrendered the second-most fantasy points to opposing RBs this season. Estimé is rostered in only seven percent of fantasy leagues.

Wide Receiver

Demario Douglas

Rankings

1. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks
2. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions
3. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys
4. Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals
5. Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars
6. Malik Nabers, New York Giants
7. Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints
8. Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals
9. Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers
10. Nico Collins, Houston Texans
11. Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions
12. Zay Flowers, Baltimore Ravens
13. Garrett Wilson, New York Jets
14. Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings
15. Omar Cooper Jr., New York Jets
16. Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers
17. Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers
18. Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs
19. Deebo Samuel, San Francisco 49ers
20. Denzel Boston, Cleveland Browns

Sleeper: Demario Douglas, New England Patriots

The New England Patriots continue to deal with injuries at wide receiver. While Mack Hollins returned in Week 9, A.J. Brown was out, and Romeo Doubs remains on injured reserve.

New England's receiver situation has, however, created opportunities for Demario Douglas. He has topped 15 fantasy points in back-to-back games and in four of his last five. This week, he'll face the Detroit Lions, who have surrendered an average of 28.5 fantasy points to opposing receiving corps.

Douglas is still only rostered in 36 percent of fantasy leagues.

Tight End

Darren Waller

Rankings

Sleeper: Darren Waller, Carolina Panthers

Panthers receiver Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker struggled to find open space against the Denver Broncos' vaunted defense on Sunday. However, Carolina was able to find a spark by utilizing its tight ends. Darren Waller led the Panthers with eight catches, 90 yards, and a touchdown.

Waller finished with a season-high 23 fantasy points.

While Waller might not be as heavily utilized this week, he'll have a great opportunity against New Orleans. The Saints have surrendered the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing TEs. Waller is rostered in just 10 percent of fantasy leagues.
