Week 10 brings another compelling set of quarterback matchups for fantasy football managers. Several established stars are looking to build on strong performances and a few emerging options offering intriguing upside. Some continue to produce touchdowns at impressive rates. Meanwhile, there is also a group of sleepers who could outperform their rankings. With several notable quarterbacks also dealing with injuries, keeping track of late-week developments will be essential before locking in your lineup.
Week 10 Top Fantasy Football Picks
Josh Allen, BUF (@ NYJ)
Josh Allen remains one of the safest high-end fantasy football quarterback options heading into Week 10. He completed 21 of 31 passes for 234 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding 15 rushing yards in Week 9. It was a relatively modest performance by Allen's standards, but facing arguably the league's top defense makes the numbers easier to appreciate.
Allen surpassed 2,000 passing yards for the season in that contest. He now has 12 touchdown passes alongside nine rushing scores. A Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets presents an opportunity for a much bigger outing. Keep Allen firmly near the top of your rankings.
Drake Maye, NE (@ DET)
Drake Maye continues to deliver outstanding fantasy football production. That's even when the results are not always pretty. He completed 21 of 38 passes for 299 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions in Week 9.
The interceptions were certainly frustrating. However, Maye's touchdown production remains difficult to ignore. He has recorded at least three touchdowns in each of his last six games. His ability to generate explosive passing plays makes him an appealing option even when New England's offense encounters trouble. Turnovers remain a concern, but fantasy managers should prioritize his consistent touchdown production. He belongs among the week's top quarterback choices.
Brock Purdy, SF (@ DAL)
Brock Purdy delivered another impressive performance in Week 9. He completed 17 of 25 passes for 232 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He also contributed 40 rushing yards and another touchdown on the ground. What makes Purdy's latest outing particularly encouraging is the difficult circumstances surrounding the 49ers' passing attack.
Purdy now gets a matchup against a struggling Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 10. If San Francisco's offense can maintain its momentum, another productive afternoon is well within reach. He is a strong starting option, particularly for managers looking for a quarterback with both passing and rushing upside.
Week 10 Fantasy Football Sleepers
CJ Stroud, HOU (@ CLE)
CJ Stroud is coming off a spectacular performance. He completed 21 of 35 passes for 384 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception in Week 9. His production was outstanding, combining explosive passing numbers with great efficiency.
Stroud has been playing excellent football for much of the season. His latest outing reinforces his potential to deliver another high-end fantasy performance. A Week 10 road matchup against Cleveland gives him an opportunity to maintain that momentum. He should be a strong starting option and could deliver top-tier numbers again.
Jordan Love, GB (vs. MIN)
Jordan Love also enters Week 10 riding an impressive stretch. He completed 23 of 29 passes for 372 yards, and three touchdowns in Week 9. Love added another 13 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. That gives fantasy football managers production through multiple avenues.
Even with Green Bay's offensive line experiencing inconsistency, Love has delivered at least two total touchdowns in each of his nine games. That level of sustained production makes him an appealing option. His upcoming matchup against Minnesota presents a tougher challenge, though. He remains a worthwhile sleeper with considerable upside.
Bryce Young, CAR (@ NO)
Bryce Young is another quarterback worth monitoring. That's after he produced three passing touchdowns against Denver in Week 9. He completed 28 of 39 passes for 276 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception while adding 13 rushing yards.
Young connected with Tommy Tremble, Darren Waller, and Tetairoa McMillan for touchdowns. However, an end-zone interception and a lost fumble on Carolina's final possession undermined an otherwise productive performance. He is a deeper-league sleeper with upside, but turnovers remain a concern.
