We are officially double-digit weeks into the season, indicating that the playoff push is near. Thanksgiving is in the immediate future, and before you know it, we'll be saying the same about the end of the regular season. Plenty of teams are hoping that their season extends beyond the allotted 17 games, meaning we'll be seeing plenty of big pushes over the next few weeks. That gives us the chance to find some value with our DFS main slate lineups in Week 10 that will hopefully put us above the FanDuel cash line by the time Carrie Underwood starts singing on NBC.
Before we break down our picks and strategy, here are the most notable scoring rules for FanDuel contests: four-point passing TDs and half-point PPR.

FanDuel Picks Week 10: NFL DFS lineup for GPP tournaments
Sunday main slate, $60,000 budget
QB Sam Howell, Commanders @ Seahawks ($7,200). Last week we featured Howell in our DraftKings lineup. This week he heads to the FanDuel side of things, and for good reason. The quarterback continues to be sacked a ton in 2023, often making us wonder how he keeps getting up. However, Howell takes those punches with ease and manages to throw a few of his own, too. He's in the midst of a top-10 fantasy season, something that illustrates just how dire it is out there. This week Howell faces a Seahawks defense that was embarrassed by the Ravens. The Commanders' QB has hit his stride, throwing for over 300 yards in back-to-back games and averaging 18.6 fantasy points per game. We'll gladly take that production without having to pay a premium for one of the more popular names.
RB Joe Mixon, Bengals vs. Texans ($7,700). The Bengals are back, and Mixon's resurgence is a big reason for that. We can talk all day about Joe Burrow's health, but if Mixon can't be efficient on the ground or in the passing game, the Bengals are in trouble. Cincinnati needs their running backs to have an impact, and Mixon scoring a touchdown in two straight definitely helps its cause. After posting around 16.5 fantasy points per game over the past two, we can expect Cincy to continue feeding Mixon the ball. The Texans' run defense hasn't been gashed this season, allowing just 97 yards per game (10th fewest), but it was shredded by Rachaad White in the passing game until Baker Mayfield decided to stop checking it down to him. Mixon doesn't have that problem with Burrow and could be in for a big day.
WEEK 10 DFS: DK lineup | Best values | Best stacks
RB Rachaad White, Buccaneers vs. Titans ($7,000). Speaking of White, he continued his recent hot stretch by turning in another great performance in Week 9. He went over 100 scrimmage yards for the second-straight outing and was one yard away in Week 7 from making it three. Regardless, White has carved out a big role in the offense and hardly leaves the field, playing 77.5 percent of snaps. It helps his cause that he finally scored a touchdown for the first time since Week 2, notching two rushing scores in Houston. White should enjoy another strong showing against a Titans defense that was just exploited by the Steelers in Week 9.
WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions @ Chargers ($8,600). St. Brown is already a target monster. In Week 10, he's a rested target monster who faces a Chargers' defense that has struggled to contain receivers in 2023. He was targeted nine times in his most recent game despite dealing with an illness, posting 108 yards in the outing. It's the third-straight game that we've seen St. Brown pass the century mark and the fifth time in seven games. He should have his way on Sunday against the Chargers' last-ranked pass defense.
WEEK 9 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
WR Jahan Dotson, Commanders @ Seahawks ($6,200). The leap that was expected from Dotson took a little while to come to fruition, but it's here now and that's all that matters. He has a touchdown in two straight games and is averaging around 8.7 targets per game. Howell is looking the receiver's way, and we like to ride the hot hand. Stack Howell with Dotson as one of the cheaper stacks that have high ceilings in Week 10.
WR Rashid Shaheed, Saints @ Vikings ($5,900). The Vikings pulled off an improbable win over the Falcons last week, but there were a few close calls that will have the Saints salivating heading into this week. KhaDarel Hodge was a big play machine and could've had an even bigger day if he was inbounds on a touchdown grab. Shaheed is New Orleans' big play guy, routinely getting behind the defense. Expect Derek Carr to have a few chances to hit Shaheed for chunk plays. A long touchdown reception certainly isn't out of the question either.
WEEK 9 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
TE Jake Ferguson, Cowboys vs. Giants ($5,800). Ferguson is becoming a fixture in these weekly lineups, and for good reason. The guy just can't stop producing at a high level, turning in a seven-catch performance with 91 yards and a touchdown last week. Ferguson has become a solid fantasy option in season-long leagues and established himself as one of the few at the position that you'd feel comfortable setting and forgetting. Behind CeeDee Lamb, Ferguson is acting as the second option in the Cowboys' passing game. We aren't passing that value up.
FLEX RB Alexander Mattison, Vikings vs. Saints ($6,200). Josh Dobbs is busy learning the names of his new teammates. One of the people he seems to know very well is Mattison. He turned in 44 rushing yards on 16 carries and two catches for 49 yards and a touchdown last week, and Cam Akers' season seemingly coming to an end with a torn Achilles, Mattison is once again the only show in town. Dobbs loves to scramble, but the Vikings could look to get Mattison involved in the passing game to help ease the transition.
DEF Dallas Cowboys vs. Giants ($5,200). The Cowboys are playing the (likely) Tommy DeVito-led Giants on Sunday. Need we say more? If we must, just remember what happened in Week 1 when the Giants were a healthy team. The G-Men don't stand a chance.
Best SuperDraft NFL DFS Picks for Week 10
This year, we're also listing our favorite DFS plays on SuperDraft.
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. Users can roster any player in their lineup with no restrictions.

Our SuperDraft lineup is a perfect 50-50 split between the FanDuel and DraftKings versions, something we can do without a salary cap. This blend gives us the best of both worlds, attacking players that have produced at a high level, especially recently. It also helps that we snagged some nice multipliers, giving us even more opportunity to profit.
