Who should I start in Week 10?

The top start score at each position this week: QB Josh Allen (at NYJ); RB Christian McCaffrey (at DAL); WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (at LV); TE Brock Bowers (vs SEA). Every QB, RB, WR and TE with a game is ranked in the tables above; when two players are close, start the one higher on the list.

How do you decide start 'em or sit 'em?

Each player's rest-of-season points per game, nudged up or down by how many PPR points his opponent has allowed to that position. A soft matchup can lift a player up to 25%, a tough one can drop him up to 25%, and anyone ruled out or on IR goes to zero.

Who is on bye in Week 10?

CHI, DEN, PHI and TB are on bye in Week 10; their best players are listed under each table above.

Is this PPR or half PPR?

Full PPR: one point per catch, on top of yards and touchdowns. The opponent numbers are counted the same way, so the two halves of the score match.

← Week 9 start/sitWeek 11 start/sit: lands next weekAll weeks

Other weeks

Start score = rest-of-season points per game x opponent factor, so a good player with a soft matchup climbs and a good player in a tough one slips. The injury report (as of 2026-11-10) takes anyone ruled out or on IR to zero; teams on bye are listed under each table. Rebuilt every Tuesday. The factor is the PPR points a defense has allowed per game to that position, against the league average, held between 0.75 and 1.25; last season's number carries the weight of six games, so one hot week does not swing it. This is season-long value read through one week's opponent, not a weekly projection. The full board is the rest-of-season rankings; the season-long numbers are the fantasy rankings; who actually scored is in the weekly top performers.
