Fantasy Football RB Rankings Week 10 (2024)
Welcome back to another week of fantasy football RB rankings. As we head into Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season, the season is just flying along. With that, you can’t afford to make mistakes in your fantasy football lineups. It could cost you a playoff spot at this point. Read on and we’ll break down our top fantasy football running backs for Week 10.
Fantasy Football RB Rankings Week 10
For Week 9 we saw Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry with their usual high-end RB1 performances. Alvin Kamara as expected, torched the Panthers’ defense for 24.1 fantasy points. If you followed along to our Week 9 RB rankings, he was our “Start of the Week”.
Chuba Hubbard, who has to be one of the best draft bargains of the year, had another RB1 performance with 20.2 fantasy points and is currently the RB7 for the year. Did you know that with Tua Tagovailoa as the starting quarterback (four games), De’Von Achane has averaged 24.3 fantasy points? That would make him the RB1 overall.
Off to Week 10 and the continuation of the bye week. That means no Nick Chubb, Josh Jacobs, Kenneth Walker, and the not-so-lovely combination of Alexander Mattison and Zamir White. Here you will find my top 24 Fantasy Football RB rankings for Week 10. Each week, I’ll separate them into tiers along with one “Start of the Week.”

Week 10 Fantasy Football RB Rankings: Start of the Week
Kyren Williams vs. Miami Dolphins
This matchup has the second-highest implied over/under for the week at 50.5. This means oddsmakers such as DraftKings believe there will be a lot of scoring.
The Dolphins run defense is in the bottom half of the league and is tied with giving up the third most touchdown runs to backs at 10. Using our free running back D-PAC Score, or Running Back Defensive Points Allowed Consistency fantasy tool, we can see that this matchup is favorable for Williams. In short, the higher the D-PAC Score, the more often those teams give up fantasy points to the opposing position. More importantly, it can help you find “easy” or “tough” matchups to target or avoid.
As for the Dolphins, they have the second-highest D-PAC Score, meaning they give up the second-highest points per game to opposing running backs. Notably, they give up an average of almost 24 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs.
Williams had a quiet week last week against the Seahawks. He had scored at least one touchdown in every single week of this season until last week. However, I expect him to get back to his scoring ways this week. Multiple touchdowns would not be out of the realm of possibilities. Williams comes in at RB4 for the week, wrapping up our fantasy football RB rankings for Week 10.
