Week 10 DFS

The NFL is getting interesting as we enter into week 10 of the National Football League season. Almost every division is still up for grabs, and plenty of teams are still alive in the playoff hunt. Daily Fantasy players, however, are worried about one thing and one thing only — week 10 DFS. I say it all the time but this is the beauty of Daily Fantasy Football. Every week is the Super Bowl, and nothing is better than that.

Week 10 is an interesting one. You don’t have the head-to-head quarterback matchups like in Week 9 but we do have some great fantasy matchups.

I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t mention David Johnson. This week I will be playing David Johnson in 80% of my lineups due to his matchup with the 49ers. Below I am going to get into my favorite games for week 10 and the players I like in those games. Let’s go!

Week 10 DFS Football — Atlanta Falcons @ Philadelphia Eagles (O/U 50)

 

This matchup is intriguing. The Falcons visit the Eagles on Sunday and they are bringing their offense with them. Matt Ryan is playing like an MVP and his partner in crime Julio Jones is tearing up the league. The Falcons defense however, has been a different story, giving up an average of 29.7 points over their last 4 games.

Players I like in this game:

 

Matt Ryan QB ($7,300)

 

Matt Ryan is coming off a game last week where he put up 31.8 Daily Fantasy points. He has had 10 days to rest, and I am expecting a big game from Ryan. The Eagles defense isn’t terrible but Wentz has been turning the ball over and this should give Ryan plenty of chances with the ball.

 

 

Julio Jones WR ($9,500)

Julio Jones, do I really have to say more? He is also coming off a big game where he put up 28.1 fantasy points vs the Buccaneers. Julio will have 10 days to rest his nagging injuries and this should be a scary thought for the Eagles defense.

Zach Ertz TE ($3,700)

Zach Ertz has been awful this year. Finally last week he came to life putting up 17.7 points against the Giants. Ertz is facing a Falcons defense who is ranked 27/32  against TE. I expect Ertz to keep it going  for Daily Fantasy Football players and put up another big game.

Jordan Matthews WR ($5,900)

The Falcons are ranked 31/32 against opposing WR’s and for that reason, I like Matthews this week. Daily Fantasy Football players know that Matthews is the only trusted receiver the Eagles have and I expect him to have a big game on Sunday

The pick: Philadelphia Eagles

Week 10 DFS Football — Green Bay Packers (-2.5) @ Tennessee Titans (O/U 50)

 

The Packers are coming off two straight losses where they put up at least 26 points. This means their defense is just non existent. Rodgers and company may have found just the opponent they need on Sunday when the visit the Titans, who are coming of a game where they allowed 43 points to the Chargers.

Players I like in this game:

Aaron Rodgers QB ($7,600)

Aaron Rodgers hasn’t put up less than 27 Daily Fantasy points in each of his last 3 games. Facing a Titans secondary that has struggled, I expect Rodgers to put up 30+ on Sunday.

Ty Montgomery WR ($6,500)

Montgomery, the all purpose player, has been all over the field since the Packers lost their running backs. He has lined up at RB, WR, on the outside, and even in the slot. Any guy who plays this much next to Rodgers is a must play.

Jordy Nelson WR ($7.600)

Jordy Nelson seems to finally be hitting full stride. He has put up back-to-back weeks where he scored 19.4 and 22.4 points. Coming off knee surgery, Jordy has been hit or miss. It looks like he is finally back and I am expecting a big week.

The pick: Packers -2.5
