UFL DFS Lineup Picks: DraftKings Daily Fantasy Fantasy Advice for Week 10

UFL DFS PICKS, FANTASY FOOTBALL, DRAFTKINGS, FANDUEL

The top daily fantasy UFL lineup picks for DraftKings for Week 10 (2024). Kyle Ringstad provides UFL DFS analysis and sleeper picks for building optimal DFS rosters.

Welcome to Week 10 of the inaugural UFL season, RotoBallers! The season has flown by, and we're already preparing for the final week of the regular season. The playoffs are already set, as San Antonio and St. Louis clinched the XFL Conference, while Birmingham and Michigan clinched the USFL Conference. D.C., Arlington, Memphis, and Houston will not participate in the first UFL playoffs. However, these players still have a lot to play for as they want to head into the playoffs (or offseason) on a good note, and a select group of them are continuing to audition for potential spots on NFL training camp rosters.

Below are my thoughts on DraftKings' Week 10 DFS slate of UFL contests, which goes live on 6/1 at 2 pm ET. I encourage you to read all our other weekly UFL fantasy football articles and stay on top of injury news and roster moves to remain well-informed and ahead of the competition. Let's get to it. Good luck, RotoBallers!

 

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

DraftKings Quarterbacks - Week 10 UFL DFS Picks

Jordan Ta'amu - D.C. Defenders vs. Arlington Renegades - $9,800

I'm Team Ta'amu this weekend. The former NFL backup is cheap in Week 10 as he has underperformed this season, but he's coming off very encouraging games of 19.9 (@ STL) and 31.3 (@ MEM) DK points over the last two weeks. He draws the lowly Arlington Renegades in the final week, a pass defense that has surrendered bottom-two marks in passing yards (1,852) and touchdowns (13) this season. As analyst Jake Tribby (@JakeTribbey on X) points out, Ta'amu averages 27.2 DK points per game against bottom-two pass defenses this season. Getting to Ta'amu and his team's slate-high implied total (O/U 46.5, D.C. -2) makes all the sense on this slate.

Nolan Henderson - Houston Roughnecks vs. Memphis Showboats - $8,900

My primary strategy will be to go cheap at QB this week. Henderson and the Roughnecks are in a prime spot on the road against Memphis. The Showboats are the worst pass defense in the league by a country mile, and Henderson has some sneaky upside as he finished with 21.5 DK points in somewhat limited action last week against Michigan. He ceded 11 passing attempts to Reid Sinnett, but Henderson connected with star receiver Justin Hall on two touchdowns and seems to have earned more playing time heading into the final week. I'm more than willing to roll the dice on him.

DraftKings Running Backs - Week 8 UFL DFS Picks

De'Veon Smith - Arlington Renegades vs. D.C. Defenders - $7,900

We're all over Ta'amu and his receiving options on this slate, so why shouldn't we run it back with a high-volume running back on the other side of this game? Smith is averaging 12 rushing attempts and four targets per game over his last four outings, and while he only spiked for a ceiling game in one of those (35.6 DK points in Week 7), we have to take notice of the opportunities he's getting. He's due to break out again with that kind of volume, and we could see it this weekend as D.C. ranks dead-last in Pro Football Focus' "rushing defense" grading.

Mark Thompson - Houston Roughnecks vs. Memphis Showboats - $8,000

We need to attack this Memphis defense as much as possible, so getting to QB-WR-RB stacks is viable on this slate. Memphis has allowed a league-high 17 rushing touchdowns this season, translating to about two per game through nine weeks. Thompson has been on a roll lately, finding the end zone four times while averaging 11.1 DK points per game over his last four contests. He's the lead back for Houston, and if they're going to be scoring a lot, Thompson is very likely to be involved.

DraftKings Wide Receivers and Tight Ends - Week 8 UFL DFS Picks

Brandon Smith - D.C. Defenders vs. Arlington Renegades - $4,600

Smith makes for an incredible stacking option with Ta'amu this weekend. He has drawn more targets (15) than each of the three D.C. receivers priced higher than him, and he has been productive with those opportunities as he went for 8.1 and 11.2 DK points in Week 8 and Week 9, respectively. It's a bit perplexing why he is priced as low as he is, but it's not our job to figure out why the DraftKings salary algorithm is flawed. Being as cheap as he is, Smith allows us to double-stack with another D.C. receiver (like Ty Scott) or tight end (Alex Ellis).

Justin Hall - Houston Roughnecks vs. Memphis Showboats - $8,800

We're paying down with the picks in the D.C-Arlington game, so we can afford to squeeze in a high-priced WR in the elite spot Houston finds themselves in. Hall has only failed to reach double-digit DK points twice this season and averages 14.2 DK points per game. He showed off his ceiling last week, snagging 6-of-11 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown (33 DK points). Memphis has a nonexistent pass defense, as they have permitted the most passing yards (2,226), the highest completion rate (73%), and the most passing touchdowns by a wide margin (20). They also rank last in pass coverage grade via PFF.

Sal Cannella - Arlington Renegades vs. D.C. Defenders - $8,400

No one can stop Sal Cannella. At least, that's been the case through nine weeks in the UFL's debut season. He's averaging 14.5 DK points per game this season, and he's on a tear as of late, catching 29-of-34 targets for 281 yards and five touchdowns over the last four weeks. He's averaging 22.3 DK points per game over that recent four-game stretch, which is higher than any non-QB on this slate. The Defenders live up to their name by being stingy through the air, but I'm not willing to fade anyone playing as much as Cannella has lately.
