Welcome to the best NFL DFS Week 10 Watch List and another opportunity to win some cash and build that 2024 NFL bankroll.

This is going to make for an interesting week of DFS as we are back to a reduced player pool, something we haven’t had to deal with much over the last two weeks. The Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders, Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns are all on a bye this week while we also have another game in Munich between the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers.

 

 

 

While some of those aforementioned teams aren’t exactly loaded up with talent, we are interested in using to build winning DFS lineups, the primetime games do have some marquee talent we are going to miss. Thursday Night Football takes the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens off the DFS main slate while Monday Night Football features the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Rams.

Still, the player pool is flush with other marquee talent and there are a number of ways we can go here in order to build winning DFS lineups, so let’s just get to the best NFL DFS Week 10 Watch List and figure out which featured players we want to use.

 

 
 

 

Best NFL DFS Week 10 Watch List For 2024

One more thing to get to before opening up the NFL DFS Week 10 Watch List is a highlight reel from the NFL Trade Deadline. I’m not sure we’re looking at Jonathan Mingo with Cooper Rush under center for the Dalas Cowboys, but Mike Williams in Pittsburgh certainly makes for an interesting GPP play given the matchup. 

The Washington Commanders acquired cornerback Marshon Lattimore which certainly improves their secondary, but it gives us another look at some lower-cost WR2s who will now see plenty of Benjamin St-Juste.

The trade of Lattimore also opens up possibilities for us to use more wide receivers against the Saints. New Orleans ranked 13h in DVOA against the pass following Week 9 and have now lost a key component in coverage. We already know the Atlanta Falcons receivers will be highly used anyway, but looking ahead at the schedule, we will likely be targeting receivers from the Browns, Rams, Giants and Commanders over the next several weeks.

We also don’t want to forget about the potential returns of both Christian McCaffrey and Nico Collins. Both players could have a huge impact on the main slate. If they are healthy and activated, it’s going to be a crazy week, for sure. 

We’ll continue to dissect the matchups over the next few days, so for now, let’s get to the best NFL DFS Week 10 Watch List.

 

 

 

Top DraftKings DFS Week 10 Watch List

Sam Darnold, QB Minnesota Vikings ($6,200)

This is an outstanding matchup for Darnold and the Vikings as the Jacksonville Jaguars have one of the worst pass-defenses in the league. The rank dead-last in DVOA against the pass and opposing quarterbacks have posted a league-high 113.4 passer rating against them. 

They’re allowing the second-most passing yards per game (264.3) and have allowed 19 touchdowns through the air, most allowed in the NFL. Darnold should be a fantastic play at a discounted price.

D'Andre Swift, RB Chicago Bears ($6,500)

Anyone who knows me knows I am not a Swift fan by any means, but DFS is business and a favorable matchup is a favorable matchup. With Caleb Williams enduring some rookie struggles, the Bears are leaning more on Swift than originally anticipated. 

He’s averaged 18 carries per game over the last four weeks and continues to see plenty of check-downs and designed screens. Given that the Patriots rank 28th in DVOA against the run and have allowed the seventh-most rushing yards pr game with 10 rushing touchdowns on the season, this could be another string effort.

Darnell Mooney, WR Atlanta Falcons ($6,500)

You’ve got to love how this Falcons passing attack has developed over the past few weeks and while Drake London should command the most attention as the team's leading receiver, we love the discount to Mooney and the production that has followed. 

Mooney has averaged seven targets per game over the last four weeks and has nine catches for 174 yards and two touchdowns over the last two. Against a depleted Saints secondary, he should shine brightly once again. 

Hunter Henry, TE New England Patriots ($3,900)

A tremendously discounted price for a tight end who has averaged nearly eight targets per game over the last here weeks. With only one touchdown on the year, the price tag is staying pretty low, but we also like the four red zone targets he saw last week. 

The Bears rank 20th in DVOA against the tight end and are allowing them nearly 60 receiving yards per game. Henry will continue to see his steady workload and if he can get into the end zone, the return is massive.

 

 

 

Best FanDuel DFS Week 10 Watch List

Kirk Cousins, QB Atlanta Falcons ($7,400)

As stated earlier, the Falcons’ passing attack has really started to click lately and Cousins now has seven passing touchdowns with no interceptions over the last two weeks. 

His weapons are top-notch and now he will face a Saints secondary that just traded away one of its top coverage assets. Considering the cost for some of the high-end players we’re going to want in our lineups, a pay-down here might be a good way to go. 

Breece Hall, RB New York Jets ($8,200)

FanDuel has a ton of running backs at $8,000 or higher this week, so we’ll look on the cheaper side of the elites and go with Hall against a Cardinals team that has allowed the 11th-most rushing yards per game, 10 rushing touchdowns on the season and has given up the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the running back position. 

Not a huge fan of the last off receptions over the past two games, but that’s why we’re looking at him on FanDuel and not DraftKings.

Mike Williams, WR Pittsburgh Steelers ($5,000)

Definitely more of a speculative play than anything else. Williams needs to learn the Steelers playbook, but he’s a professional and should be able to make a decent transition, especially when there is so little competition for targets on this team. 

Also taking note of my comments above – while Marshon Lattimore works against George Pickens, Williams will be in one-on-one situations with St-Juste and that’s always a great thing for receivers.

Dalton Kincaid, TE Buffalo Bills ($6,000)

The DFS sites still have him priced down a little, which is fantastic for our builds. The recent drop in aDOT is a bummer, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to hold this week against the Colts. 

Kincaid was averaging six or seven targets each week but found 10 this past Sunday and with Keon Coleman potentially missing the next couple of weeks, he could be in line for an even bigger target share. Indianapolis ranks 26th in DVOA against the tight end and has allowed the third-most fantasy points pr game to the position. Giddy up!
