At this point, I’m starting to think the best fantasy football advice I can give you is to read this article and completely ignore my Stream of the Week. Seriously, my ability to pick the wrong player from my own list is becoming impressive. My season-long selections rank QB17, TE23, and DEF13. Not exactly numbers worth bragging about.
But here’s the crazy part: This article is still a gold mine. If you took the highest-scoring player from my five weekly recommendations, you’d have the QB1, TE3, and DEF1 on the season. Apparently, I’m excellent at finding streaming options and terrible at choosing which one you should actually start. Let’s see if I can finally get out of my own way this week.
Each week, I highlight five fantasy football 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. Let’s dive into this week’s picks and find you the upside you need.
Accountabilty
How are my streaming recommendations performing? I’ll let the numbers speak for themselves. Each week, I track the results of my designated Stream of the Week (SOTW) alongside the Best Pick from my five recommendations at each position.
The SOTW shows how well I’m choosing my top option, while the Best Pick highlights the highest-scoring player from each weekly list. The Best Pick represents a hypothetical best-case scenario, showing just how much fantasy value is available among my recommendations, even when my top pick misses.
Scores and rankings are based on PPR scoring and 4-point passing touchdowns. While many leagues use 6-point passing touchdowns, data providers typically default to 4-point systems, so I’m keeping things consistent.

Week 10 Fantasy Football Streamers
Quarterback
Aaron Rodgers @ CIN
Sitting at QB18, Rodgers has been far from great this year, but he has not been bad either. With a limited player pool, Rodgers still feels like the best option. This pick is more about the game environment. The Steelers should be playing from behind, meaning more throws, and Rodgers threw for 292 yards and three TDs the last time these teams faced off, back in Week 3. He was the QB8 that week, and I’ll happily take a repeat as a streaming QB in Week 10.
Other Options
- Kirk Cousins @ GB
- Drew Lock @ LV
- J.J. McCarthy vs. WAS (Thurs.)
- Jacoby Brissett vs. LAC
Tight End
Brenton Strange @ TEN
Full disclosure, this pick boils down to me wanting a piece of Trevor Lawrence this week. I think the Jags beat down the Titans, and Lawrence may be in store for one of his best weeks. Strange should benefit from that game script. Strange is the TE20 this season. He has had some good games, but plenty of bad ones too. The matchup is what has me leaning towards this being a good game. While Tennessee has been middle-of-the-road against TEs this year, they have gotten worse over the last month, as they trade away all their best defensive players. In their last three games, they have allowed the fourth-most points to TEs. This could and should be a get-right game for Strange.
Other Options
- Pat Freiermuth @ CIN
- Tyler Higbee @ ARZ
- Darren Waller @ NO
- Dalton Schultz @ CLE

Defense
Green Bay Packers vs. MIN
We are running back with Green Bay. While I am excited to see Cousins back in Minnesota, this first game could be rough. The team is allowing three sacks per game, and Cousins himself is averaging one turnover per game. If you’ve read this article in the past, you know that is what we chase: Sacks and Turnovers. It just so happens that Green Bay, the number-six fantasy defense this year, ranks top-5 in both categories. Cousins will improve the Minnesota offense, but Green Bay was top-5 last week against the Patriots. They will be fine against the Vikings.
Other Options
- Bengals vs. PIT
- Giants vs. WAS (Thurs.)
- Chiefs @ ATL
- Bills @ NYJ
