NFL Scores Week 10: Results, Wild Card Standings and Top Fantasy Football Stars

Week 10 of the NFL season is underway, and it's provided a healthy mix of close games, blowouts and surprise fantasy performances.

The Tennessee Titans tightened their grip on the AFC South with a 23-21 win over the New Orleans Saints, their sixth straight. It's the only AFC division with a clear pecking order at this point in the season. Meanwhile, the Washington Football Team stunned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 29-19 despite losing star defensive end Chase Young to a knee injury.

As for the lopsided games, it's a fantastic week to be a Dallas, New England or Buffalo fan. The Cowboys smashed the Falcons 43-3, the Patriots clobbered the Browns 45-7 and the Bills bounced back from a shocking loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars with a 45-17 win over the New York Jets.

The Cowboys established themselves as one of the top squads in the NFC, while the Bills and Patriots proved that the fight for the AFC East—and really, the fight for any AFC playoff spot—is going to be very fun to watch as we make our way into the latter half of the season.

We even got a rare tie this week, as the Detroit Lions escaped the loss column for the first time this season with a 16-16 overtime result against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In the afternoon slate, Cam Newton made a triumphant return to Carolina as a red-zone specialist, throwing for a touchdown and running in another as the Panthers beat the Arizona Cardinals 34-10.

Here's a look at the updated playoff standings from both conferences, followed by a look at all the Week 10 results and top fantasy performers from each team (based on ESPN points-per-reception scoring).

Standout Performers

Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, New England

Michael Dwyer/Associated Press

Congratulations if you were bold enough to start Rhamondre Stevenson. The rookie fourth-round pick had just 136 rushing yards all season coming into Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. He was also in the concussion protocol nearly all week but was cleared to play Saturday. Fellow running back Damien Harris was ruled out with a concussion of his own, clearing the way for Stevenson to lead the backfield.

Stevenson didn't waste the opportunity, rushing for an even 100 yards while punching in two touchdowns. It was an enticing follow-up to his Week 9 showing against the Panthers, which saw him make a couple of explosive plays. He also benefited from quarterback Mac Jones' impressive outing, which helped keep the Browns defense on its heels all game long.

It's tough to say what Stevenson's outlook is for the rest of the season. Harris has performed well when healthy, with a solid 4.1 yards per carry and seven rushing touchdowns. He'll certainly get looks when he returns to action. But head coach Bill Belichick is no stranger to backfield committees, so Stevenson is absolutely worth holding on to after his star turn against Cleveland.

CeeDee Lamb, WR, Dallas

Fantasy managers worried that CeeDee Lamb's production might drop with Michael Gallup's return to the lineup will find Sunday's results very reassuring. Dak Prescott found Lamb early and often against the Falcons, as the second-year wideout finished with six catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns. The first one was especially impressive, as Lamb used his body to shield off the defender and haul in the pass in front of the end zone.

Lamb might've had an even better day if the Cowboys didn't storm out to a 36-3 halftime lead and then go into cruise control for the rest of the game. He tied with Tony Pollard for a team-high seven targets, while Gallup had five targets and Amari Cooper got four.

The Cowboys have a wealth of explosive options on offense, and any one of them could break out on a given Sunday. Lamb at least appears to have cemented himself as one of Prescott's more reliable options, capable of making big plays while also getting open for the short timing routes that quarterbacks need to get into a rhythm.

Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City

The version of Patrick Mahomes beloved by Chiefs fans and deeply feared by the rest of the league came out to play on Sunday night. Mahomes torched the Raiders' defense for 406 passing yards and five touchdowns, propelling his team into first place in the AFC West. It was the third such game of his career and put him in some elite company, per ESPN Stats & Info:

There were no baffling turnovers in sight, and the elusive gunslinger was so locked in that he didn't have to scramble for yards once. While the superlative display doesn't erase some of his shakier performances from earlier this season, it does show he can still reach heights that most QBs can only dream of.

If any fantasy managers were toying with the idea of putting Mahomes on the bench, it's time for that line of thinking to end. As long as he can get decent protection from his offensive line, Mahomes is a threat to put up monstrous numbers any given week.
