Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 10:
Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings
Quarterback Kirk Cousins' return to Minnesota not only brought new life to the Vikings, but it also created some additional fantasy potential for Cousins ahead of a Week 10 game at Green Bay. Following a trade from Las Vegas, the veteran quarterback steps into a different situation, albeit one in which he is already familiar with his top three pass catchers, both offensive tackles, and his head coach.
Cousins threw for a career high in yards while playing in Minnesota head coach Kevin O'Connell's system in 2022, and nobody has completed more passes to superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson than Cousins.
Returning to an offense with some high-end wide receiver talent should give the 38-year-old QB some steady fantasy appeal, including this week against a solid Packers defense that ranks eighth against fantasy quarterbacks. As RotoBaller's No. 14 quarterback this week, Cousins is a surefire Superflex option and even a possible starter in one-QB formats despite the challenging matchup.
Jared Goff, Detroit Lions
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (chest) has no game designation for Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots in Munich. The Lions listed him as a full participant Thursday and Friday after a limited listing on Wednesday's estimated report. Goff threw 14 touchdown passes in his first six games this season and has thrown one in his last two.
He attempted 25 passes in each of those two wins, finishing with 176 yards against Minnesota and 170 against Miami while taking seven sacks. Center Cade Mays (ankle) will miss another game, leaving Juice Scruggs in line to start again against a New England defense that has recorded 25 sacks in nine games.
The Patriots gave up 372 yards and three touchdown passes to Green Bay's Jordan Love last week. Goff remains a viable superflex starter. In one-quarterback leagues, Goff is a borderline starter if Amon-Ra St. Brown (rib) plays. The questionable receiver has drawn 86 targets, nearly a third of Detroit's total, and caught five of Goff's 15 touchdown passes this season.
Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has thrown for at least 270 yards in five straight games, including 372 yards and three touchdowns against New England last Sunday. He also added a 13-yard rushing touchdown in the win. Love had one of his better performances against Minnesota in Week 1, throwing for 387 yards and two touchdowns.
The Vikings have allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season, making Sunday's rematch a challenging one. Green Bay could lean more on Love with Josh Jacobs (finger) expected to miss the game. Christian Watson and Matthew Golden combined for 335 receiving yards last week, and both have become important parts of the passing attack.
Love's recent production makes him difficult to bench, even against Minnesota. RotoBaller ranks him QB11 for Week 10, putting him at the lower end of the QB1 range.
Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young rebounded in Week 9 in a matchup against the Broncos that was tough on paper, finishing as the QB6 after posting QB18 and QB24 finishes the previous two weeks.
Young finished the day with 28 completions for 276 yards and three touchdowns, bringing his passing touchdown total to 17 on the year. This performance makes Young all the more intriguing in his Week 10 matchup versus the New Orleans Saints, whose defense ranks 14th in fantasy points per game given up to opposing QBs and has allowed 255.6 passing yards per game.
They have also allowed 18 or more fantasy points to QBs in three of their last four matchups. The Panthers' offensive line has been struggling with injuries, but it still enabled Young to perform well last week. The Saints' defense has a lower pressure rate than their Week 9 opponent, sitting at 19th in the league, which could once again give Young room to make plays. He is a borderline top-12 QB play this week and can be comfortably started as RotoBaller's QB13.
