It should be another week of Ezekiel Elliott leaving his opponents in the dust.Gregory Shamus/Getty Images

Reliability in the NFL and fantasy football can go a long way, but it’s hard to find.

The Dallas Cowboys know they can rely on Ezekiel Elliott to carry their offense. As a result, fantasy players have been able to rely on Elliott to average more than 111 rushing yards and nearly a touchdown per game.

The Arizona Cardinals run their offense through David Johnson because he’s so skilled as a runner and a receiver. Because of that big role, Johnson is the only non-quarterback to score at least 15 points in PPR formats in every game this season. 

When you find those reliable players, especially high-end ones like Elliott and Johnson, you should hang onto them because of the tremendous advantage they afford your fantasy team. Think about that before you consider making any crazy trades this late in the season. 

Let’s take an early look at my points-per-reception (PPR) rankings for Week 10. These will change throughout the week and up to Sunday’s action as we get more information about injuries and limitations, so make sure to bookmark this page.

ECR  - Expert Consensus Rankings

Can Marcus Mariota stay hot against the Packers?Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images

Better than Usual

Eli Manning, NYG (vs. CIN)

Manning returned from the Week 8 bye to have one of his best games of the year in a win over the Philadelphia Eagles. While he did have two interceptions, that was overshadowed by 257 yards and four touchdowns on 22-of-36 passing in Week 9. He threw a pair of touchdowns to Odell Beckham, one to Sterling Shepard and one to Roger Lewis. 

Because the Giants’ ground game is basically non-existent, it should be another busy game for Manning when he faces the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. Cincinnati’s defense has been vulnerable for much of the season, as evidenced by QBs scoring the third-most fantasy points against them in the last four weeks.

Week 10 Projection: 250-260 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception

Concerns 

Drew Brees, NO (vs. DEN)

While I doubt anyone will go as far as to bench Brees this week, anytime your quarterback takes on the great Denver Broncos pass defense, expectations must be adjusted. Even though they lost to the Oakland Raiders last week, Denver still held Derek Carr to just 184 yards without a touchdown. The only quarterbacks to throw for more than 250 yards against the Broncos are Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers.

The Saints will likely go after the Broncos with their rushing attack, which has been ramped up with the addition of Tim Hightower joining Mark Ingram in a formidable two-headed monster. While Denver held QBs to the second-fewest fantasy points in the last month, they allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to running backs over the same span. 

Brees dipped below 260 yards just once this season and has multiple touchdowns in all but two games. At home, he’ll give the Broncos a tough test, and they’ll make life difficult for him.

Week 10 Projection: 255-265 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception

Avoid 

Colin Kaepernick, SF (at ARI)

It’s easy to get excited about a potential return to fantasy relevance for Kaepernick after he got the Saints for 398 yards and four touchdowns with one interception by completing 24 of 39 attempts in a loss at home in Week 9. Unfortunately, he doesn’t get to play the Saints this weekend and instead gets a step up in competition with a trip to the University of Phoenix Stadium to take on the Arizona Cardinals.

Over the last month, no team has given up fewer fantasy points to QBs than the Cardinals. Before his big game against the Saints, Kaepernick failed to throw for even 200 yards in matchups with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills.

Week 10 Projection: 190-200 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception, 25 rushing yards

Sleepers

Carson Wentz, PHI (vs. ATL)

In a Week 9 loss to the New York Giants, Wentz went 27-of-47 for a season-high 364 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns. While it was the second time he attempted at least 40 passes, it happened in back-to-back weeks. 

He’ll have a chance to put up similar numbers with similar volume if the Eagles defense can’t handle Atlanta’s high-powered offense. In their last four games, the Falcons gave up more than 305 yards and two touchdowns per contest to opposing QBs. We’ll find out if Wentz can duel with Matt Ryan on Sunday. 

Week 10 Projection: 270-280 yards, 1 touchdown, 2 interceptions

Better than Usual 

Mark Ingram, NO (vs. DEN)

Ingram’s benching in Week 8 after his second fumble in as many weeks seemed to work as a motivating factor based on how he played against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 9. While Tim Hightower got the start and stayed involved, it was Ingram who shined the brightest with 158 yards and a 75-yard rushing touchdown on 15 carries in addition to two receptions for 13 yards including a receiving touchdown. 

The monster performance came at a great time with the Denver Broncos up next on the schedule this week. For as good as the Broncos are against the pass, their run defense has struggled, giving up at least 110 rushing yards to RBs in each of their last three games. New Orleans' best course of action may be to pound the rock with Ingram, and with volume, he should have success. 

Week 10 Projection: 17 carries, 77 rushing yards, 1 touchdown, 2 receptions, 13 receiving yards

Concerns 

Rob Kelley, WAS (vs. MIN)

After rushing for 87 yards on 21 attempts in the team’s last game before its Week 9 bye, Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said Kelley would get the "bulk of carries" while Matt Jones "will have to earn his way back," per Mike Jones of the Washington Post. So that puts Kelley in line to start this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. 

Kelley’s matchup won’t make for much in terms of fantasy production, as the Vikings have just one game with at least 100 rushing yards allowed to a RB. As the clear lead back for the Redskins, Kelley should get enough volume to use as a low-end RB2/flex, although anything better than that would be a bonus. 

Week 10 Projection: 18 carries, 72 rushing yards

Avoid 

Isaiah Crowell, CLE (at BAL)

Once again, I’m including Crowell on the avoid list because of another tough matchup and his lack of role on the top of Cleveland’s depth chart. He’s been held to less than 30 rushing yards in four of the last five games and hasn’t had more than 13 carries in any of those games. His somewhat random 44-yard reception made up most of his four receptions for 63 yards in a loss to the Cowboys.

Crowell faces another tough run defense this week when the Browns travel to Baltimore. The Ravens held RBs under 65 rushing yards in three of their last four games and six times this season. Crowell clearly needs volume to have some sort of fantasy production, and he won’t be repeating the 133 yards and touchdown he put up against the Ravens back in Week 2. This defense has been far better since that game, while Crowell has gone in the wrong direction. 

Week 10 Projection: 13 carries, 39 rushing yards, 2 receptions, 13 receiving yards

Sleepers 

Tim Hightower, NO (vs. DEN)

Hightower gets a look as a sleeper once again because of his perceived value. It would be easy to assume that just because Mark Ingram posted 158 rushing yards, Hightower would take a back seat, even though he also ran for 87 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries.

According to Mike Triplett of ESPN.com, head coach Sean Payton said, "it was good to see Mark run. The week before, Tim gave us a jolt. And we’ll continue to look at each game and plan accordingly." Because Denver has been so bad against the run in recent weeks, including the 215 rushing yards and three touchdowns they allowed to the Oakland Raiders RBs, you should give Hightower another shot. There’s room for him and Ingram to perform well. 

Week 10 Projection: 13 carries, 55 rushing yards, 2 receptions, 14 receiving yards

A.J. Green should have a chance to put up another big game against the Giants.Aaron Doster-USA TODAY Sports

Better than Usual 

Kenny Britt, LA (at NYJ)

After posting just three receptions for 43 yards in Week 7 against the New York Giants, some may have given up on Britt with a Week 8 bye looming. Britt came out of that with a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers, and he took advantage by posting four receptions for 49 yards and a touchdown with six targets.

That puts Britt at 37 receptions for 584 yards and three touchdowns on the season heading into a favorable matchup with the New York Jets in East Rutherford, New Jersey, this weekend. Even though the Jets slowed down the Dolphins WRs last week, that was more about Miami’s commitment to the run. In four previous games, the Jets allowed at least 15 receptions and 175 yards to WRs. The solid matchup is enough to fire up Britt again.

Week 10 Projection: 5 receptions, 72 yards, 1 touchdown

Concerns

Brandin Cooks/Michael Thomas, NO (vs. DEN)

Cooks and Thomas are basically even in terms of the pecking order for the New Orleans Saints, which could work in their favor in this week’s showdown with the Denver Broncos. The Broncos have the best defense against fantasy WRs in the league, which is important since the Saints may decide to run more against Denver’s vulnerable defense. 

Thomas and Cooks both had five receptions last week in their matchup with San Francisco, but it was Thomas who made the big play with the 32-yard touchdown reception. Thomas now leads the team with 63 targets and 47 receptions plus 573 yards and five touchdowns. Even though the Broncos could be without cornerback Aqib Talib, they’re a formidable pass defense.

Cooks’ Week 10 Projection: 4 receptions, 58 yards

Thomas’ Week 10 Projection: 6 receptions, 73 yards

Avoid

None of note.

Sleepers 

J.J. Nelson, ARI (vs. SF)

Nelson’s rise started in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers. With both John Brown and Michael Floyd playing at less than 100 percent, Nelson saw his snaps rise to 92 percent. He took full advantage of that increase by hauling in eight of 12 targets for 79 yards and two touchdowns.

Nelson is now a starter for the Cardinals, but some may have forgotten about his rise to prominence because it happened before the Week 9 bye. He can keep it up against a San Francisco 49ers defense that’s allowed at least 15 receptions, 190 yards and two touchdowns to WRs in the last two games. 

Week 10 Projection: 5 receptions, 71 yards

Jordan Reed should continue his dominance when he takes on the Vikings.Steve Flynn-USA TODAY Sports

Better than Usual 

Zach Miller, CHI (at TB)

The Chicago Bears are coming off a Week 9 bye, but in their last game, Jay Cutler made his successful return to action in a win over the Minnesota Vikings. He found Miller, one of his favorite receivers, seven times on 10 targets for 88 yards. Familiarity is never a bad thing to have between a QB and a receiver, so immediately reconnecting with Miller made plenty of sense. 

The two should be able to keep their connection hot Sunday with a nice matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa’s given up the sixth-most fantasy points to tight ends over the last four weeks. 

Week 10 Projection: 6 receptions, 62 yards, 1 touchdown

Concerns 

Austin Hooper, ATL (at PHI)

Veteran Jacob Tamme had to sit out Week 9 with a calf injury, so Hooper stepped into a more important role in their matchup with the Buccaneers. He came away with receptions on all five of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown. 

Even though ESPN.com’s Vaughn McClure reported Tamme didn’t practice Monday, Hooper isn’t a lock to play the same kind of role this week, especially since the Philadelphia Eagles have five games with three or fewer receptions allowed this season. It’s not the easiest matchup, and if Tamme is back, Hooper could fade away and become obsolete.

Week 10 Projection: To be determined based on Tamme’s status

Avoid 

Cameron Brate, TB (vs. CHI)

Brate may have posted five receptions for 43 yards and a touchdown on six targets last week against the Atlanta Falcons, but he’ll have a tough time matching that against the Chicago Bears. In their last three games, the Bears limited TEs to just eight receptions, 66 yards and no touchdowns. You may want to look elsewhere for a better option to put in your starting lineup this week. 

Week 10 Projection: 3 receptions, 32 yards

Sleepers 

Dennis Pitta, BAL (vs. CLE)

Pitta’s been quiet the last two games with six receptions for 54 yards on 13 targets, so it might be time to break out of his mini-funk. Back in Week 2, Pitta had his best game of the season in Cleveland with nine receptions for 102 yards. Four times this season, the Browns have given up at least 10 receptions to TEs, including last week when Jason Witten and the Cowboys posted 11 receptions, 147 yards and two touchdowns. Take a shot on Pitta to see if he can come close to replicating his performance from Week 2.

Week 10 Projection: 6 receptions, 69 yards

Best Options Based on Matchups

Arizona Cardinals (vs. SF)

The Cardinals are already a top-five fantasy defense on the season, so you’d probably play them regardless of the matchup. Luckily, they get a boost to their fantasy value in Week 10 because of a NFC West showdown with the San Francisco 49ers. 

The 49ers gave up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses over the last four weeks thanks to taking eight sacks, two interceptions and six fumble recoveries. Look for more of the same when the Cardinals get to Colin Kaepernick. 

Week 10 Projection: 3 sacks, 2 interceptions, 1 fumble recovery, 15-18 points allowed

New York Jets (vs. LA)

Even though the Jets defense has fallen off this season, it’s still worth using this week as a streamer because its matchup against Case Keenum and the Los Angeles Rams is so good. In the last four weeks, the Rams rank second in most fantasy points allowed to opposing defenses. During that span, they gave up eight sacks, threw six interceptions, scored just 48 points and allowed a touchdown. 

Week 10 Projection: 2 sacks, 2 interceptions, 1 fumble recovery, 14-17 points allowed

The reliability of Justin Tucker has been a rare constant in fantasy football this season.Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports

Best Options Widely Available on the Waiver Wire

Caleb Sturgis, PHI (vs. ATL)

Sturgis made 13 of 14 field-goal attempts and all nine extra-point tries since coming back from the Week 4 bye. He’s been very consistent with at least two field goals in every game this season. A reliable option in a game that could yield a lot of points is always worth having in your lineup.
