Week 10 Fantasy Football Projections, Rankings from Draft Sharks
Week 10 fantasy QB projections, rankings
Spotlight Player: Josh Dobbs, Vikings vs. Saints (SN Ranking: 22 | DS Ranking: 14)
Dobbs has shown he has a high ceiling, but the Saints have been tough on QBs all year. Minnesota could be down Justin Jefferson (hamstring) and K.J. Osborn (concussion), so Dobbs will likely have to use his legs to hit borderline-QB1 numbers. We’re not sold he’ll continue his hot play, instead viewing him as a risky streamer in 12-team leagues.
SN’s WEEK 10 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Week 10 fantasy RB projections, rankings
Spotlight Player: Gus Edwards, Ravens vs. Browns (SN PPR Ranking: 15 | DS Ranking: 30)
This one could come down to touchdowns, which Edwards has been piling up the past few weeks. If he’s held out of the end zone against Cleveland’s sixth-ranked run defense, even Draft Sharks’ ranking might be high for him. We’re trusting Baltimore’s dominant run offense and expecting Edwards to continue holding off backups Keaton Mitchell and Justice Hill en route to another solid game.
Spotlight Player: Najee Harris, Steelers vs. Packers (SN PPR Ranking: 31 | DS Ranking: 21)
Harris is seemingly losing touches to Jaylen Warren, but he’s still getting plenty of his own, posting 18 last week to go along with his second touchdown of the year. Green Bay has struggled against the run all season, so even if Warren is heavily involved, Draft Sharks clearly thinks Harris can come through as a solid RB2. We see him more as a flex, especially when you factor in his disappointing reception totals.
WEEK 10 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Week 10 fantasy WR projections, rankings
Spotlight Player: Calvin Ridley, Jaguars vs. 49ers (SN PPR Ranking: 34 | DS Ranking: 24)
Ridley’s inconsistency has been maddening this year. In two of his past three games, he’s totaled fewer than 31 receiving yards. In his last game, he had 83. The ceiling is always high, but the floor is just as low. San Francisco has surprisingly struggled against WRs this year (sixth-most fantasy points per game allowed), but we still see Ridley as just a borderline WR3 in 12-team leagues.
Spotlight Player: Demario Douglas, Patriots vs. Colts (SN PPR Ranking: 43 | DS Ranking: 35)
Douglas has seen around seven targets per game over the past three weeks, so ranking him as a WR3 in a favorable matchup makes sense. However, he hasn’t done a ton with those opportunities (158 total yards). New England is likely getting DeVante Parker (concussion) back this week, which could eat into Davis’ production, so we’re being a little more cautious with him.

Week 10 fantasy TE projections, rankings
Spotlight Player: Jake Ferguson, Cowboys vs. Giants (SN PPR Ranking: 10 | DS Ranking: 11)
UPDATE: Draft Sharks moved Ferguson up several spots throughout the week.
The Giants haven’t allowed much to TEs this year (fifth-fewest FPPG), but Ferguson has become an integral part of Dallas’ offense. He’s scored in each of the past two weeks, and he should’ve scored in Week 1 against the Giants but he dropped a sure TD. We’re expecting him to atone for his Week 1 drop, but Draft Sharks isn’t quite so sure, instead focusing on uneven target totals and the potential for a Dallas blowout limiting Ferguson’s overall opportunities.
Week 10 fantasy defense projections, rankings
Spotlight Player: Atlanta Falcons (SN Ranking: 10 | DS Ranking: 20)
We’re not expecting Kyler Murray (knee) to be sharp in his first start of the season, and Atlanta’s D/ST is just good enough to make some big plays like it did last week against Minnesota (four sacks, two takeaways). Draft Sharks is leerier given Atlanta’s struggles keeping the Vikings out of the end zone, but we’re riding a little higher with this boom-or-bust unit.
