Week 10 Fantasy Football Rankings: Matt Ryan and More QBs Who Will Step Up

The best of the fantasy quarterbacks have pretty well established themselves at this point in the season, but the right matchup can make a great passer look even better. Look for this trio to post even bigger numbers than usual in Week 10:

Matt Ryan, Atlanta

Either QB in the Falcons-Saints showdown would make for an outstanding fantasy choice, because this game is likely to turn into an old-fashioned shootout. Ryan and Drew Brees both have plenty of weapons, and neither secondary is good enough to match these two prolific passing attacks.

Ryan comes in on a roll, having ridden Julio Jones’ breakout performance to a big day against the Colts. New Orleans DBs won’t be burned that easily, but expect another big play or two in a high-volume, high-scoring performance by the Atlanta signal-caller.

Mark Sanchez, NY Jets

Just because the Patriots are hard to win against doesn’t mean they’re difficult to throw against. Even in a loss in Week 5, Sanchez threw for a pair of TDs without a pick.

The Jets are going to be riding Shonn Greene as much as they can, but Sanchez will still do damage against a vulnerable secondary. He’s also played better at home, posting an 89.1 QB rating there as compared to 79.3 on the road.

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay

It’s hard for Rodgers to play any better (in fantasy or on the field) than he’s been doing, but he’s got a prime opportunity to do it on Monday night. He’ll be facing a banged-up Vikings secondary that’s ranked 30th in the NFL against the pass.

Playing at Lambeau Field, the Packers could have this game sewn up by halftime, but either way, Rodgers will get his numbers. He threw for 335 yards and three scores when these two teams met at Mall of America Field in October.
