NFL DFS picks Week 10: Best sleepers, value players for FanDuel, DraftKings, SuperDraft lineups image

As injuries, bad beats, surprise breakouts, and busts continue to rule NFL storylines, countless traditional bettors and season-long fantasy football players have crossed over to DFS to make some cheddar. Daily fantasy has been a steady source of income for us all year, thanks in large part to our ability to pinpoint sleepers and values. Today, we will share our favorite undervalued DraftKings, FanDuel, and SuperDraft plays for the Week 10 slate, hopefully helping you win some DFS cash. 

Every Tuesday, we scour DraftKings, FanDuel, and SuperDraft to find the best investments — like my daughter scanning the doctor's office for Lilo and Stitch stickers. We then write about our favorite plays for each position, explaining why each player or D/ST has a good chance of vastly outproducing their respective price point. We also review our double-digit hits from the previous week, like a kid showing off their latest artwork on the fridge.

By capitalizing on affordable sleepers in certain DFS roster spots, we leave ourselves the budget to greatly improve other roster spots with weekly studs. Let's face it, in order to afford a Keenan Allen ($8,800 on DK), you must invest in the occasional Brandon Powell ($3,200).

We have enjoyed consistent success with our DFS sleepers and values all season. Each Tuesday, we share a big list of hits from the previous week. — with each hit typically netting 14-22 fantasy points. We've been ahead of the game on breakouts like Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams, Zack Moss, and Nico Collins, among many others.

WEEK 10 FANTASY ADVICE:
Sleepers | Busts | Projections | Start 'em, sit 'em

Take a look at our collection of hits from last week:

Pos. Player Wk. 9 Game DK Price Pts
QB Derek Carr Saints vs. Bears $5,700 16.7
RB Brian Robinson Jr. Commanders at Patriots $5,300 12.3
WR Nico Collins Texans vs. Buccaneers $5,800 14.4
WR Terry McLaurin Commanders at Patriots $5,600 12.3
TE Dalton Schultz Texans vs. Bucs $4,200 31.0
TE Jake Ferguson Cowboys at Eagles $4,000 22.1
TE Taysom Hill Saints vs. Bears $4,700 20.6
TE Hunter Henry Patriots vs. Commanders $3,600 13.9
DST Indianapolis Colts at Panthers $3,100 26.0
DST Las Vegas Raiders vs. Giants $3,600 19.0

Not our best week by any stretch, but it also wasn't a total dud. For the second week in a row, we averaged 18.8 DK points on our 10 hits — and that's despite spending just $4,560 per player. With that kind of cheap production, you're almost assured a finish in the money in the milli-maker and other large DFS tournaments, especially in a weird slate like we saw in Week 9.

Let's run it back! This year, we're also incorporating SuperDraft into our weekly DFS column. For those unfamiliar, SuperDraft's DFS scoring involves point multipliers as opposed to traditional salary-capped or tiered contests. A winning lineup will likely feature a strong mix of stud fantasy contributors with 1x-1.6x boosts, as well as matchup-based sleepers with larger multipliers. Each player is assigned a scoring multiplier based on their value as determined by SuperDraft. So, the sleepers who carry lower salaries in DK/FD have higher boosts on SD. The best part: SuperDraft users can roster any player with no restrictions.

WEEK 10 DFS: DK lineup | FD lineupBest stacks

NFL DFS Picks Week 10: QB sleepers, values for DraftKings, FanDuel, SuperDraft

Will Levis, Titans at Buccaneers (DK: $5,300 | FD: $6,800 | SD: 1.4x)

Levis looked incredible in his NFL debut two weeks ago, putting up 238 passing yards and four TDs for a whopping 26.6 DK points against the Falcons. He then looked halfway-decent in Pittsburgh for his encore, netting 262 yards but failing to score a TD. After what fellow rookie C.J. Stroud did to Tampa Bay last week, how can we not feature Levis as the No. 1 value?

Kyler Murray, Cardinals vs. Falcons (DK: $5,900 | FD: $7,500 | SD: 1.3x)

When it came to Murray's 2023 debut after coming off the PUP list following ACL rehab, Jonathan Gannon was never going to do it in Week 9 against the bruising Browns. Atlanta seems like a much more pleasant season-opener for the talented QB, as the Falcons have allowed the seventh-most QB points in fantasy land. They made Levis and Josh Dobbs look like Pro Bowlers over the past two weeks — Cobra Kyler could be the next QB to KO the ATL.

Other solid Week 10 values: Geno Smith, Seahawks vs. Commanders (DK: $5,800 | FD: $6,900 | SD: 1.3x); Brock Purdy, 49ers at Jaguars (DK: $5,700 | FD: $7,400 | SD: 1.3x); Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers vs. Titans (DK: $5,100 | FD: $6,600 | SD: 1.4x)

WEEK 10 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers

NFL DFS Picks Week 10: RB sleepers, values for DraftKings, FanDuel, SuperDraft

Rachaad White, Buccaneers vs. Titans (DK: $5,800 | FD: $7,000 | SD: 1.35x)

Are you sitting down? Take a seat. Here goes: Only two running backs have scored more DK points than White since Week 7. The Titans have also apparently decided to now suck against the pass and run — they surrendered 29.9 DK points to Pittsburgh's Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris last week — so we're firing up Rachaad and hoping he stays White-hot. 

Jaylen Warren, Steelers vs. Packers (DK: $5,000 | FD: $5,600 | SD: 1.45x) 

Warren this season feels like Tony Pollard last year — he's just waiting for his squad to make him the workhorse so he can fully break out. He has easily looked like the better running back in Pittsburgh, averaging 4.7 yards per carry to Harris's 3.8 and catching 82.9 percent of targets compared to Harris's 71.4. The Packers have stunk against the run all season, allowing 24.2 DK points per game to RBs. Could this be the one?

Tyler Allgeier, Falcons @ Cardinals (DK: $4,700 | FD: $5,900 | SD: 1.5x)

Allgeier has quietly posted double-digit half-point PPR performances in two of the past three weeks, during which he averaged a whopping 19 touches per game. Lord only knows why Arthur Smith won't just make rookie RB Bijan Robinson Atlanta's workhorse back and be done with it, but it probably has something to do with hating the existence of fantasy football. Allgeier should be plenty busy once again in Arizona against a Cards team that has surrendered the third-most fantasy points to RBs this season.

More solid Week 10 RB values: Bijan Robinson, Falcons at Cardinals (DK: $6,000 | FD: $6,600 | SD: 1.3x); AJ Dillon, Packers at Steelers (DK: $4,600 | FD: $5,600 | SD: 1.6x); Rico Dowdle, Cowboys vs. Giants (DK: $4,300 | FD: $4,500 | SD: 1.7x)

WEEK 10 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers

NFL DFS Picks Week 10: WR sleepers, values for DraftKings, FanDuel, SuperDraft

Christian Kirk, Jaguars vs. 49ers (DK: $6,000 | FD: $6,700 | SD: 1.35x)

Kirk has been fantastic this season. Across Jacksonville's six games between Weeks 2 and 7, he averaged 17.5 DK points. He hit the skids a bit in Week 8, at least by his own standards, but we'll give him a pass since the game was in Pittsburgh against a staunch defense. Now he, Trevor Lawrence, and the Jags draw a surprisingly bad pass defense after a bye week, and we expect big things. San Francisco has allowed the second-most DK points per game to wide receivers this season. 

Jahan Dotson, Commanders at Seahawks (DK: $5,000 | FD: $6,200 | SD: 1.45x)

Dotson went from our preseason sleeper to a total bust to a late-season breakout. What a whirlwind! He has more DK points over the past two weeks — 44.7 — than he scored through Washington's first six games of the season (with 7.7 to spare!). Sam Howell looking his way with Curtis Samuel (toe) hurting, Dotson has paid big dividends. He's hauled in 12-of-18 targets for 177 yards and two TDs since this breakout, and he's a massive steal at $5,000. 

Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Seahawks vs. Commanders (DK: $4,100 | FD: $5,600 | SD: 1.55x)

Don't be so quick to dismiss JSN just because he's not DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett, because the rookie has been better and more consistent than the veterans over the past three weeks. During that span, he has turned 18 targets into 13 catches for 162 yards and two TDs. For $4,100, we will gladly take a dude who's putting up 12-16 DK points each week — especially against the third-most generous defense to fantasy wideouts on the season. 

More solid Week 10 WR values: Terry McLaurin, Commanders at Seahawks (DK: $5,800 | FD: $6,800 | SD: 1.35x); Romeo Doubs, Packers at Steelers (DK: $5,300 | FD: $6,300 | SD: 1.45x); Jayden Reed, Packers at Steelers (DK: $3,800 | FD: $5,400 | SD: 1.65x); Rashid Shaheed, Saints at Vikings (DK: $4,300 | FD: $5,900 | SD: 1.55x); Brandon Powell, Vikings vs. Saints (DK: $3,200 | FD: $5,200 | SD: 1.75x)

NFL DFS Picks Week 10: TE sleepers, values for DraftKings, FanDuel, SuperDraft

Gerald Everett, Chargers vs. Lions (DK: $3,900 | FD: $5,000 | SD: 1.5x)

Everett has stepped up in a major way over the past couple of weeks, and with both Mike Williams (knee) and Josh Palmer (knee) now on IR, he should continue to play a massive part in the Bolts' offense. The Lions have been awful against tight ends all season, allowing the sixth-most DK points to the position. Fire Everett up without hesitation. 

More solid Week 10 TE values: Dalton Schultz, Texans at Bengals (DK: $4,900 | FD: $6,100 | SD: 1.25x); Trey McBride, Cardinals vs. Falcons (DK: $3,500 | FD: $5,100)

NFL DFS Picks Week 10: D/ST sleepers, values for DraftKings, FanDuel

Cleveland Browns at Ravens (DK: $3,000 | FD: $4,100)

The Browns have been the best defense in the NFL this season, so if we can get them at $3,000 against a below-average passing offense, we're in. We like the upside here a lot better than any of the detritus defenses we would find below these price ranges.
