2022 Week 10 Fantasy Football Sleepers

🚨 HEADS UP 🚨 These are sleepers. They will not mimic my ranking 100%. This chases upwards and often carries more risks.

QUARTER

LIKELY STARTER: Daniel Jones, New York — Jones had his worst game of the season leading up to the bye, but it came against a sneaky decent defense (Seahawks). With a week off to rehab and schedule for the Texans game, Jones should rebound… well, mostly for the game and not so much for Jones’ passing ability. It’s really Jones’ legs that boost his fantasy value, with three games of 68+ rushing yards and both of his 20+ point games coming with a rushing touchdown (or two). Hopefully Jones doesn’t choke like he did in Week 8.

RUNNING BACK

LIKELY START: Rachaad White, TB — Reports say the Buccaneers could lean on White more as the season winds down, and against the Seahawks, he could start this week. While the Seahawks’ defense against receivers is better than it’s supposed to be, they are very prone to running backs, as Austin Ekeler annihilated them with a 12-12-96-1 line, Alvin Kamara had 6-6-91 receptions, Javonte Williams went 12-11-65-0 in Week 1, and even James Conner went 5-5-19 in his return last week. HAIL MARY START: Isiah Pacheco, KC — As mentioned on the podcast, I want nothing to do with the Chiefs, Broncos, Rams and Bills backfields… if possible. Yes, we’ll probably have to use someone every week, especially with the Chiefs and Bills offenses, and this time, we can shoot for Pacheco’s upside. This lies in hoping for a touchdown and run while holding a lead. The backfield is a true committee with Jerick McKinnon outscoring others, but Pacheco would likely see more running (no pun intended) with a healthy edge, which the Chiefs should have against the Jaguars.

LITTLE RECEIVER

LIKELY STARTER: DeAndre Carter, LAC — Josh Palmer’s advice is paying off, so let’s turn to Carter this week. He was a solid pick in Week 9, but there’s upside for more against the 49ers, despite what it might look like on paper. The 49ers are near the top of the league in receptions of 20+ yards allowed and, yes, some of those went to Cooper Kupp himself, but even the Panthers had four such receptions in Week 5. Carter has big-play potential with 10, 4 Air/TGT and 20.8% of his receptions were for 20+ yards despite playing mostly out of the slot. There’s a good chance Carter goes big and doesn’t lose.

LIKELY STARTER: Wan’Dale Robinson, NYG — Through Weeks 6-8, Robinson is tied with Darius Slayton for the team lead in field goal percentage (17.6) and has the most receptions (11), while only one of the three players who have managed a touchdown. That’s it for his 3-2-15-0 game before the bye (thanks, Daniel Jones). It’s the previous two games that we hope to emulate, as the matchup is favorable (Texans) as long as the Giants don’t come out too early and run out the clock. HAIL MARY START: Donovan Peoples-Jones, CLE — Strangely, Amari Cooper dominates at home and struggles a bit on the road, where DPJ showed up. The Browns had three road games to five at home, and yet, Peoples-Jones is 20-13-215 at home and 26-17-202 at home. The Browns also go to Miami in what we can hope is a shootout and Jacoby Brissett’s second game attempting 40+ passes this year.

TIGHT END

HAIL MARY START: Cade Otton, TB — Even if Cameron Brate returns, I’m willing to play Otton, who is third on the team in TmTGT% from Week 4 (Brate played in Weeks 4 and 6). Otton is also second in Red Zone and End Zone targets during that stretch, turning in a 30-22-242-1 line. What really helps is the matchup with the Seahawks. No opponent has managed to score at least 5.2 points in the tight end — TJ Hockenson destroyed it in Week 4, Zach Ertz went a nice 5-40-1 last week, and even the Giants’ Tanner Hudson managed 3 -58-0.

Fun with ranking! The best football party food

I’m back to eating this week and have a big appetite to fight off this flu… or whatever. I’ve always gone the starvation route when I’m sick — some people don’t want to eat anything — so I thought, “Why not rank the 10 best football party foods?” After all, it’s the middle of the NFL season, so let’s dig in… classes… and some great food. I’m glad to hear your suggestions as well. I always love trying new foods/snacks.

BONUS: Monkey Bread — If you’ve never had it (maybe you didn’t realize it was called that), do yourself a favor and make some next time. Like chicken wings, it involves plenty of hand cleaning afterwards, but this is a taste of clouds in heaven. Imagine the middle of a Cinnabon – you get that in every bite!

BUY AND SELL

Buys

Justin Herbert, QB, LAC — I’m far from a Herbert apologist, but he hasn’t been fully armed this year and if Keenan Allen and/or Mike Williams can return, the Chargers have a road map as Herbert still has lots of upside. Michael Carter, RB, NYJ — Yes, he splits the backfield, but a favorable schedule and managers might consider “selling high” coming off a good game. Gus Edwards, RB, BAL — Ravens on a bye, Edwards is top when healthy and should be back in Week 11. Courtland Sutton, WR, DEN — He was here last week as Jerry Jeudy had a rough patch earlier this year, and now Sutton is in the middle of it. I don’t expect Top 20 ROS for Sutton, but managers are giving up on him. Diontae Johnson, WR, PIT — Also here last week as running back Chase Claypool narrows down the passing tree for Kenny Pickett and tension was already high with Johnson anyway. Michael Pittman, WR, IND — Sam Ehlinger at quarterback is a concern, but Pittman is still in the WR3 discussion along with other boom/bust options like Gabriel Davis. Pat Freiermuth, TE, PIT — As with Johnson, Freiermuth will benefit from having Claypool out of the equation.

It sells

Justin Fields, QB, CHI — We talked about Fields ROS in The Athletic Fantasy Football pod, and he’s nearing the Top 5 at QB, but some have already put him there. I’d take Tua Tagovailoa, so if others in your league view him better than Joe Burrow/Kyler Murray/etc., you’re getting max return — even if Fields continues this…streak. Joe Mixon, RB, CIN — Not just because of all those touchdowns in Week 9, but the Bengals have one of the worst running back schemes in the fantasy playoffs. Josh Jacobs, RB, LV — It might be hard to sell Jacobs right now, but you could make the case that it’s just a rough patch for the Raiders, when in reality, the schedule hasn’t looked great since Weeks 14-17 and the Raiders could start looking at 2023. Tyler Boyd, WR, CIN — It seems obvious, but there are a lot of inexperienced leagues with managers that might bite with Ja’Marr Chase out. Darnell Mooney, WR, CHI — Fields took several shots with Claypool in his first game with the Bears. Mooney has been fine as the volume king in the Bears’ passing game, and Mooney dropping even five percentage points in TmTGT% would be a big ding to his value.

Week 10 Fantasy Football Previews

🚨 HEADS UP 🚨 These may differ from my ranking and my ranks are the order I would start players out of additional context like, “I need a higher boost, even if it’s dangerous”. Also based on 4-point TDs for QBs, 6-point rest and Half-PPR Projections download link These are NOT updated on Sunday mornings, FYI
