Starts For Week 10 In Fantasy Football

The Jaguars offense has had its ups and downs over the course of the season. Despite this, Christian Kirk is on my list of starts for week 10. He is coming off a great game against the Raiders. Kirk is the favorite target of quarterback Trevor Lawrence so expect him to get plenty of opportunities. The opportunities will grow if the Jaguars find themselves down in the game which is likely against the Chiefs in Arrowhead. You should feel comfortable starting Christian Kirk in your lineup this week.

Putting Smith-Schuster on the list of starts for week 10 is a gut feeling pick. In the past three weeks I have caught the Chiefs games and the connection between Patrick Mahomes and Smith-Schuster is heating up. He looks more comfortable in the offense and Mahomes seems to be going to him in big spots. One thing was clear last week, the Chiefs do not like running the ball even in close games. While I don’t see Mahomes throwing it nearly 70 times again, f Mahomes throws the ball 50+ times, Smith Schuster should see a lot of targets.

Everyone will have Justin Fields on their starts for week 10 list but I don’t think you need me to tell you to start Fields. I’m going a more bold (and possibly stupider) route. Start Darnell Mooney this week. Don’t be fooled by the Lions defense last week. The Packers offense is bad and the Lions defense benefitted from boneheaded errors. While the Bears will run the ball a lot, the defensive backs of the Lions have been atrocious this season paving the way for Mooney to pick up some stats. Mooney is a great flex option this week.

TJ Hockenson TE Minnesota Vikings

Last week, I had Hockenson on my list of sits solely because he was so new to the offense. Boy was I wrong so this week I have him on my list of starts for week 10. He caught all 9 of his targets for 70 yards. The Vikings clearly wanted to get him involved in the offense. Now that he has had a full week of practice, I expect Hockenson to have an even bigger role this week. The only thing that gives me pause is they are playing the Bills this week who have an elite defense. However, the Bills will have to focus on taking out Justin Jefferson and Dalvin Cook leaving opportunities for players like Hockenson.

It does not matter whether you think Tua is a good quarterback or not. He is putting up stats in fantasy football which is why he is on my list of starts for week 10. For Tua, it is more about who he has playing around him. Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill are a dangerous wide receiver pair. Hill especially is on pace for a historic season. The after the catch potential of both Hill and Waddle makes Tua a better start in fantasy football. The Browns are a tricky matchup because they are usually better against the pass than the run but the wide receiver talent is too great. You should feel comfortable starting Tua this week.

That is my list of starts for week 10 in fantasy football. Wherever you are in the standings, good luck!
