I favored Darnold final week along with his matchup at Washington, and he scored 35.2 Fantasy factors. He is now scored no less than 24 Fantasy factors in three of his previous 4 video games, and he must be thought of a low-end starter in all leagues for the remainder of the season, together with Week 10 in opposition to Arizona. … Flacco is on a bye in Week 10, however he must be added in all leagues and thought of a beginning Fantasy quarterback for the rest of the season. In 4 begins with the Bengals, Flacco is averaging 30.4 Fantasy factors, which is unbelievable. … Purdy is a fixture on this spot, and hopefully he’ll return to motion in Week 10 in opposition to the Rams after lacking the previous 5 video games.

It’s best to stash him now for these video games, and Rodgers has scored no less than 20.8 Fantasy factors in three of his previous 4 outings.

We’ll see if he is the point of interest of Arizona’s backfield, however Benson must be the starter and has the potential to be a No. 2 Fantasy working again in all leagues. He must be added in all codecs the place he is nonetheless accessible. … Allgeier has been quiet for the previous three video games in opposition to San Francisco, Miami and New England with a mixed 11.6 PPR factors over that span, however he stays a lottery ticket in all leagues value stashing because the handcuff to Bijan Robinson. If Robinson had been to overlook any time then Allgeier could be no less than a No. 2 Fantasy working again within the majority of leagues.
Drop candidates: Nick Chubb (74 % rostered), Kenneth Gainwell (50 %) and Brashard Smith (48 %). Chubb had one other down sport in Week 9 in opposition to Denver with 11 carries for 34 yards and no targets. He has three catches for 8 yards on six targets in his previous 4 video games, and he solely has two touchdowns on the season. I want the Texans would use Woody Marks extra, however Chubb will proceed to be within the rookie’s approach for an elevated workload. Chubb is at greatest a flex choice in deeper leagues in Week 10 in opposition to Jacksonville, however I might drop him in most codecs for somebody with extra upside. … Gainwell is value holding if you wish to handcuff Jaylen Warren, however his position has diminished previously three video games with a mixed 14.4 PPR factors over that span. He did have 4 catches for 35 yards on 5 targets in Week 9 in opposition to Indianapolis, however previous to that he mixed for 4 catches for five yards on 4 targets in two video games in opposition to Cincinnati and Inexperienced Bay.

He scored no less than 12.9 PPR factors in two of these outings, and Franklin is value utilizing as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in most leagues when he has a good matchup. … I am hopeful that Godwin will return to motion in Week 10 after lacking the previous three video games previous to Tampa Bay’s bye in Week 9. When wholesome, I nonetheless have religion that Godwin is usually a potential No. 2 Fantasy receiver within the majority of leagues, and he is value including in all codecs the place accessible. … Tucker might emerge because the No. 1 receiver for the Raiders if Jakobi Meyers is traded by Tuesday’s deadline, so keep watch over what develops with the Las Vegas receiving corps.
