Week 10 is here and we’re in the homestretch for our season long fantasy leagues. Each week I will be taking a look at some players with favorable matchups that are start-worthy and others with not-so-favorable matchups that you should keep on the bench. If you are a daily fantasy player, some of these starts could be great values. Be sure to check back often for updatedplayer rankings and weekly waiver wire targets.
Start ‘Em
Joe Flacco (QB, Baltimore Ravens) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Steve Smith or no, Flacco has a decent matchup in what could be a back and forth matchup offensively versus the Jags. Jacksonville is giving up the eighth most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Joe Cool has been quietly effective in 2015 and look for the trend to continue in Week 10.
Kirk Cousins (QB, Washington Redskins) vs. New Orleans Saints
Really? Start Kirk Cousins? Yep. Sure, he’s not a top tier QB. He’s not flashy. But, he’s a streaming delight going into his Week 10 matchup versus the Saints. The Saints are giving up the most points to QBs by a relatively wide margin. Other middle of the road quarterbacks like Mariota, Bradford, and Winston have looked like stars versus the Saints. It’s as ideal as it gets for Cousins this week.
Blake Bortles (QB, Jacksonville Jaguars) at Baltimore
That’s right. I’m saying start both quarterbacks in this matchup. It has the makings of a slugfest. The Ravens are giving up the second most fantasy points to opposing QBs. Look for Bortles and the Robinson/Hurns combo to have a good week.
