Fantasy Must Starts for Week 10 of the NFL Season
With the trade deadline having come and gone over the past week, many players have made waves, embarking on the next chapters of their careers. With all these moves being made, it sends shockwaves through the fantasy world, with new players teaming up with other great stars. As we now enter Week 10, I’d like to go over my top three players to start for this week after the shake-up in the landscape.
- New York Giants Wide Receiver – Malik Nabers
Through eight weeks, Nabers has burst onto the scene, making an immediate impact on this Giants roster. The rookie out of LSU started the season at an elite pace, going for over 110 yards and 10+ catches in two of his first four games. In the past two weeks, Nabers has hauled in 16 catches on 24 targets. With New York facing the worst scoring defense in football this week in the Carolina Panthers, I’m led to believe the rookie will have another strong game.
- Carolina Panthers Running Back – Chuba Hubbard
With things not going according to plan for the Panthers this season, one silver lining has come from the production of Chuba Hubbard. Hubbard has made a name for himself this season with his high-level production despite being on a very poor offense overall. He’s in the top 10 in rushing this season with 665 yards to go along with five touchdowns, and he’s easily been the best part of this Panthers offense. I hesitated to put two players from the same game on the list, but I felt Hubbard against this Giants defense, which has struggled to stop the outside run, was too good of a matchup. New York allows the fourth-most yards per game on the ground, at just over 140, making this a pristine opportunity for Hubbard to go off.
- Atlanta Falcons Wide Receiver – Darnell Mooney
Since leaving Chicago, Mooney has made an immediate impact with Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons. The fifth-year receiver is the ninth-ranked player at his position in PPR leagues and is coming off back-to-back 18+ point games. This week, the Falcons head to New Orleans to face the Saints, who just traded away their best defensive back, Marshon Lattimore. New Orleans has allowed the fifth-most passing yards per game prior to the trade, at 240, and now it can be expected to be even worse. All factors considered, I believe this is a prime matchup for Mooney to take advantage of.
