5/27/2023 0 Comments Week 10 fantasy football rankings![]() ![]() PIT (ECR: 22, Our Rank: 10, Projected Points: 16.34) (We pulled these numbers from Thursday.) Once again, we are using PPR unless noted otherwise. These rankings update throughout the week. Note: We’re comparing our rankings to the expert consensus rankings (ECR) from Fantasy Pros. ![]() Refer back to our fantasy football rankings for any questionable waiver wire or lineup decisions. Read on to find out why!Īs always, let’s jump around and evaluate some Week 10 projections gathered from some of the top data-driven projections available using several of our AI-powered models. However, our main reason for highlighting the importance of rushing from the quarterback position is that our model is, once again, pushing back slightly against that trend. Fields is now tops in projected quarterback rushing yards, his passing touchdown projection has risen by more than 0.5 touchdowns and overall, Fields is our model’s QB6 this week. So, for this week, our model has adjusted. This, despite Fields being second among all quarterbacks in projected rushing yards (70.1) and rushing touchdowns and ultimately ending with fewer passing yards than what our model had projected him to end with. Now, unfortunately for us, Fields was also a Nay in last week’s edition of Yays and Nays. Fields is one of the QBs leading that charge. Never has running been more essential from the quarterback position for your fantasy teams. ![]() To recap, that’s four of the top six passers in the NFL that are currently outside the top 10 at the position. He’s the one QB that has been borderline elite from a fantasy perspective without providing hardly any rushing production.) (Tua is fifth in passing yards per game and QB12 on the season, but he’d be comfortably inside the top 10 without having missed two and a half games. And Justin Herbert is sixth in passing yards per game, and he’s currently QB14. Tom Brady is fourth, and he’s averaging fewer fantasy points per game than Daniel Jones. Matt Ryan is third, and he’s been benched by the Indianapolis Colts. Because while that graphic alone already makes it seem clear that quarterbacks that rush have a significant advantage over those that don’t, this next statistic will highlight the gulf between passing and rushing.Īllen and Mahomes, in their clear stranglehold on the quarterback position for the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs, are first and second in the NFL in passing yards per game. See some similarities? And by the way, Marcus Mariota is 11th in fantasy points.īut let’s take this even one step further. What follows are the top 10 quarterbacks in total rushing yards this season. Here are the rest of the top 10: Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Kyler Murray, Fields, Geno Smith, Trevor Lawrence and Kirk Cousins. Remember those three quarterbacks we listed above as the only other QBs besides Fields to score 100 fantasy points since Week 5? Well, they are, in the order listed, the top three at the position. See, Fields vaulted up the quarterback rankings all the way into the top 10, settling in as QB7 entering this week. What he delivered in the Windy City over the weekend was nothing short of magical.Īnd as eye-popping as the performance was, it also was the perfect encapsulation of the quarterback position this season. Fields – with only 123 passing yards and a woeful 4.39 yards per pass attempt – tore the Dolphins to shreds to the tune of an NFL regular season QB-record 178 rushing yards.Īdd that rushing success to a career-high three passing touchdowns, one to Darnell Mooney and two to tight end Cole Kmet, and Fields’ final output in fantasy was 42.72 points. Neither wideout was as productive as Fields. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle both had receiving touchdowns and finished as top-10 wide receivers (Good luck to Jacoby Brissett and the Cleveland Browns who have to face these guys next). □: #MIAvsCHI on CBS /jFMAg0BeH7- Chicago Bears November 6, 2022 scored touchdowns for the Miami Dolphins, and yet, Fields had the highlight-reel run of the day. Squaring off against Tua Tagovailoa and maybe the NFL’s most fun and dynamic offense last week, Fields was the most captivating player on the field. Yes, a player that was likely on your waiver wire at the beginning of Week 5 has scored more points than anyone else over the last five weeks.īut even that doesn’t quite do him justice. In fact, his 129.5 points is the top mark in the entire NFL. Here is the entire list of players with more than 100 fantasy points since the beginning of Week 5: Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and yes, the second-year quarterback of the Chicago Bears. Key Data Point: Justin Fields has a league-high 129.5 fantasy points since Week 5.Week 10 Nays: Kyler Murray (QB20), D’Andre Swift (RB36), Michael Pittman Jr.Week 10 Yays: Andy Dalton (QB10), David Montgomery (RB12), Christian Kirk (WR8), Terrace Marshall (WR31).
