FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 10 - Daily Fantasy Football

November 15, 2020

Dennis Clausen highlights the top FanDuel NFL DFS lineup picks for Week 10 of the 2020 season, and some value sleepers for your daily fantasy football rosters.

Week 10 is here and things are starting to heat up as we navigate our way through the month of November. As usual, there are some big-time injuries to consider as Christian McCaffrey will miss the showdown with the visiting Buccaneers after suffering a shoulder injury. As a result, Mike Davis will likely see an uptick in reps against Tampa Bay, a team attempting to recover from a beating at the hands of the New Orleans Saints.

Nick Chubb, who hasn't played in weeks due to a knee ailment, has a shot at playing against the Houston Texans. DFS managers will want to monitor his status because if he does indeed suit up, Kareem Hunt could be in store for a slight decrease in production.

In this article, I will be providing you with my Week 10 daily fantasy football lineup picks on FanDuel. These lineups can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel.

FanDuel Quarterbacks - Week 10 Picks

Kyler Murray, QB - vs. BUF ($8,800)

It is not a secret that Murray has been one of the most exciting fantasy options in 2020 in both season-long and DFS formats. Although he had a great start to the year, the second-year professional has been especially dominant of late by racking up 643 yards through the air and six passing touchdowns over his previous two outings.

Murray's efficiency doesn't end there as he has also been accumulating some big numbers using his legs, combining for 173 yards and two scores off 25 carries during that same span. We all know how imposing the Bills Defense can be. However, Buffalo has been exposed in that area--at times-- leaving the former Heisman winner with plenty of upside in Week 10 in what should be a high-scoring matchup between two of the most offensively-sound teams in the league.

Josh Allen, QB - @ ARI ($8.700)

Speaking of the Bills, Allen's DFS services can be acquired on Sunday for only $100 less than Murray's. He began the season as one of the hottest, most talked-about signal-callers in the league, but he started to fall out of favor after putting together a string of miserable back-to-back-to-back performances.

Nonetheless, things appear to be back on the upswing as the 24-year-old was 31-for-38 passing for 415 yards and three touchdowns against the Seahawks in Week 9. Just as in Murray's case, Allen can be especially brutal on the ground, finding the end zone on the run in five of his nine matchups so far this season. The Cardinals Defense has been vulnerable in this area, so Allen should be in the running--no pun intended--to finish as one of the effective options at his position.

FanDuel Running Backs - Week 10 Picks

Josh Jacobs, RB - vs. DEN ($7,500)

Although Jacobs doesn't have the flashiest numbers this season, he has made some noise in the areas where it counts. He currently ranks third in the NFL in red-zone touches while also finding the end zone six times inside the 20-yard line on the year.

The 22-year-old has conceded 16 carries to Dovontae Booker over the team's last three games. However, he should still get enough action to make a difference against a Broncos Defense that has struggled from a fantasy perspective against the run over the last four weeks.

Jerick McKinnon, RB - @ NO ($5,500)

The 49ers are banged up on both sides of the football and will need some of its players to step up if the team hopes to make the postseason. With Nick Mullens taking over the reins under center in place of Jimmy Garoppolo, he will have an uphill battle for production without the services of George Kittle, Tevin Coleman, and many others.

Luckily, the signal-caller has McKinnon at his beck and call, a back capable of not only making some gains on the ground but also by catching some passes out of the backfield. Raheem Mostert may be back in the mix in Week 10, but the former Viking may still get enough snaps to exceed his value against the Saints.

FanDuel Wide Receivers - Week 10 Picks

Michael Thomas, WR - vs. SF ($8,500)

Thomas was on his way to becoming the greatest receiver of all-time after many years of productivity. However, those plans appeared to be derailed in a 2020 season that has been plagued with injuries and controversy. The former Buckeye has battled hamstring and ankle issues throughout the year, and after trade rumors swirled, he seems to be out of the doghouse--at least for now.

The real question remains, nonetheless, will Thomas return to form in Week 10? He had a mediocre outing against Tampa Bay in Week 9, but will this be the game he returns to life? Although an $8,500 rostering cost is a gamble, the upside is always there whenever he steps on the field. Thomas has been limited in practice all week, just like he was heading into last weekend. However, the star wideout appears to be trending in the right direction and should be good to go against the 49ers.

Robby Anderson, WR - vs. TB ($6,400)

After four seasons as a New York Jet, Anderson is on his way to having arguably the best season of his five-year career. While his touchdown numbers have decreased, with only one of the year, his 60 catches put him just three behind his career-high of 63, which took place in 2017 across 16 games.

Anderson currently ranks fifth in the league in targets out of all wideouts, and with Christian McCaffrey out of commission with a shoulder issue, he could potentially earn his fantasy points based on volume alone against a middle-of-the-pack Buccaneers Defense.

FanDuel Tight Ends - Week 10 Picks

Evan Engram, TE - vs. PHI ($5,600)

The tight end position has been as ugly as it can possibly get this season. With George Kittle, who has historically been one of the most consistent options, dealing with injuries during most of the year, the mystery remains on who to turn to in DFS formats outside of anyone named Travis Kelce.

With the Giants potentially missing Golden Tate II and Sterling Shepard against Philadelphia, Engram may be in store for some extra looks from quarterback Daniel Jones. The Eagles Defense has also allowed a third-worst 16.48 fantasy points per game to the position, so Engram could be in line for an uptick this weekend beyond his usual fantasy production.
