Sometimes fantasy football feels like a weekly science experiment gone wrong. One minute you’re mixing the perfect lineup formula, the next you’re covered in the radioactive fallout of a three-point dud. Week 10 is no different, with injuries, bye weeks, and unexpected breakout candidates all bubbling over. Fortunately, our Featured Pros have donned their lab coats (and helmets) to identify which players deserve a start in your lineup and which ones might just blow up your matchup for all the wrong reasons.

Fantasy Football Week 10 Start/Sit Advice
Sleepers
Which player outside of the top 100 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is a good sleeper start, and why do you think he has upside this week?
Devin Singletary (RB – NYG)
“Devin Singletary is the fantasy equivalent of that leftover slice of pizza you swore you weren’t going to eat but end up grabbing out of pure desperation. Desperation could be in play this week with four teams on bye and injuries piling up (may Tucker Kraft‘s fantasy soul rest in peace). He out-snapped Tyrone Tracy Jr. 32-25 against the 49ers last week and was more efficient with his touches. What’s more surprising is that in a trailing game script where you’d expect Tracy to be featured as an explosive receiving back, Singletary still got the love, including both red-zone touches for the backfield. The Bears’ defense gave a masterclass in social distancing against the Bengals, so Singletary could stumble his way into a respectable fantasy day.”

Dyami Brown (WR – JAC)
“If you need a deep play, look at Dyami Brown and Bhayshul Tuten. No Travis Hunter, no Brenton Strange, and Brian Thomas Jr. is banged up. Parker Washington and Dyami Brown could easily be the top two receiving options. Brown was targeted seven times last week on just 60% of snaps. Look for him to be involved until Thomas is healthy and Jakobi Meyers is up to speed.”

Duds
Which player inside the top 40 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is likely to disappoint fantasy managers this week?
Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)
“Breece Hall has faced two top-15 defenses in expected points added (EPA) against the run and has scored 5.9 and 7.2 fantasy points. He now gets the top defense in EPA against the run, the Cleveland Browns, and I’m assuming Justin Fields will be named the starter again after he led them to their first win last week. He did that against a Bengals team that seemingly gives up 30+ points to everyone now, but the week before, he was about to be benched because they had scored 17 points total the previous two games. I expect something more like that with Myles Garrett and company coming to town. With many of the Jets’ defensive stars now on different teams, you can also expect a trailing game script. Also, the Browns have given up the fewest amount of receiving yards to backs.”
– Lance Gandy (Tap Into Fantasy)
“Breece Hall could struggle to meet expectations this week despite his season-high 32-point performance in Week 8. The Browns have been a nightmare matchup for running backs, ranking first in DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average), second in EPA against the run and allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to the position. Hall has thrived only against weak run defenses, failing to top 9.2 points against defenses ranked inside the top 16 in EPA. With uncertainty around his role following trade rumors and limited red-zone usage (33rd in touches), his Week 10 outlook is concerning. Fantasy managers should temper expectations against Cleveland’s dominant front.”
– Ryan Linkletter (Blitz Sports Media)
“Breece Hall. The Browns are second-best when it comes to limiting opposing fantasy running backs this season, and Hall is already ceding plenty of work to Isaiah Davis in the passing game. I expect Breece to see enough volume to succeed, but I’m less confident he’ll be able to do much with it. The Jets will struggle to score much. Hall, without a touchdown, will look very average this week. We hope he scores, but I’m betting against it and tempering expectations, especially after the Jets dealt away two of their best players this week for future draft capital.”
