Who to start in fantasy football: Week 10 rankings, start-sit advice for PPR, standard scoring

Who to start in fantasy football: Week 10 rankings, start-sit advice for PPR, standard scoring image

It's a brutal week of byes (Eagles, Dolphins, Chiefs, Rams), but the weather is mostly mild and the list of key "questionable" players is relatively short (Demario Douglas, Josh Downs, Ja'Marr Chase, T.J. Hockenson, James Conner, Keaton Mitchell). Unfortunately, several "must-starts" have been ruled OUT (Tee Higgins, Dameon Pierce, Nico Collins, Justin Jefferson), and lineup decisions are only getting tougher. In an effort to make things a little easier, we've compiled all of our Week 10 fantasy rankings (PPR, standard) in this article to help with your last-minute start 'em, sit 'em calls. Consider it your one-stop cheat sheet if you've put off deciding who to start until Sunday morning.
