Week 10 Fantasy Streamers: Top QB, TE, and DEF Picks

For most leagues, the playoffs are just about a month away. You have three, maybe four more opportunities to add to your win total and secure your spot. That gets a lot harder if you just lost Jayden Daniels or Tucker Kraft! Welcome to the wonderful world of streaming! We crushed just about every pick for two weeks straight, and we have built top-5 players at every position using only waiver-wire adds. Let’s keep it rolling in Week 10.

Each week, I highlight five streaming options at QB, TE, and DEF. These players are available in at least 50% of ESPN leagues and can still provide a matchup edge. With fantasy teams hoarding many of these start-one positions, I have also added a “Look Ahead Option” so you can plan for next week as well. Now, let’s dive into this week’s picks and find the upside you need.

Accountability

Am I any good at this? I’ll let the numbers speak for themselves. In this section, you’ll see how my Stream of the Week (SOTW) and Best Pick finish every week. Since I always provide five options, my Best Pick is the one that scores the most points, even if I didn’t designate it as the Stream of the Week. Essentially, the Best Pick line shows what you could achieve if you streamed only from my weekly lists.

Scores and rankings are based on PPR scoring and 4-point passing touchdowns. Although the world uses 6-point passing touchdowns, data providers prefer 4-point systems, and I am trying to keep this simple.

Week 10 Fantasy Streamers

Quarterback

Jacoby Brissett @ SEA

With Kyler Murray headed to IR, there is no longer a debate about the Arizona starting QB. Honestly, with his play over the last three games, many thought Brissett had flat-out won the job, and this IR stint might be a soft benching for Murray. Over the previous three games, Brissett has averaged over 20 fantasy points per game, making him the QB10 in that span. His opponent this week, the Seahawks, has given up about 17 per game to the QB since Week 4. They have progressively gotten worse as the season progresses. Brissett has a safe floor based on his opponent and a great ceiling based on his recent play. He is an excellent streaming option.

Other Options

• Sam Darnold vs. ARZ
• Bryce Young vs. NO
• Aaron Rodgers @ LAC
• Michael Penix @ IND
• Look Ahead Option: Rodgers plays CIN in Week 11.

Tight End

Theo Johnson @ CHI

Before I dig into why you should play Johnson, I should note that he popped up on the injury report late Wednesday, so you will need to keep an eye on this situation. That’s also why I give you five options, so don’t be afraid to pivot to one of the players listed below. I like Johnson this week against a Bears team allowing the seventh-most points to TEs since Week 2. They have also allowed a TE touchdown in three of their last four games. Johnson has shown great chemistry with Jaxson Dart, especially in the redzone. He has five touchdowns on the season, and all have come since Week 4, when Dart took over the starting QB role. I think Johnson can find the endzone again this week against a leaky Chicago defense.

Other Options

• Colston Loveland vs. NYG
• Harold Fannin @ NYJ
• Juwan Johnson @ CAR
• Mason Taylor vs. CLE
• Look Ahead Option: Loveland plays MIN in Week 11.

Defense

Cleveland Browns @ NYJ

The only reason Cleveland is even available is that they were on bye last week. The last time we saw the Browns, Myles Garrett was sacking Drake May five times. Against a decimated Jets team, Garrett might get Justin Fields ten times this week. It sounds ridiculous, but I am only half-joking. Garrett is that good, and the Jets are that bad. The Browns are averaging 17 fantasy points in their last two games, making them the #1 fantasy defense in that span. The Jets give up the fourth-most points to DEF/ST this season, including allowing four sacks a game. Myles Garrett is coming, and Cleveland is my #1-ranked defense this week.

Other Options

• Bills @ MIA
• Ravens @ MIN
• Jaguars @ HOU
• Panthers vs. NO
• Look Ahead Option: Ravens play CLE in Week 11.
