NFL DFS: Week 10 FanDuel Picks
Thanks for reading our weekly FanDuel DFS column. Our goal with this column is to highlight less obvious roster moves strictly on FanDuel. Everyone knows that a Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs stack is a popular move, and that Jonathan Taylor is worth the premium. But here, we want to highlight uncommon players to help you differentiate your lineups. Now, let’s make some money with NFL DFS: Week 10 FanDuel Picks.

Stacks
Tom Brady ($8,300), Tyler Johnson ($5,100)
Correlate: Ricky Seals-Jones ($5,300), JD McKissic ($5,400)
The Tom Brady stack provides many stack options this week, allowing you to get different in your lineup while maintaining exposure to this matchup that is currently set at 51 points. With Antonio Brown definitely out, and Rob Gronkowski and Chris Godwin most likely out, there are several cheaper options at receiver that will free up space to pay up for players like Jonathan Taylor and Najee Harris.
The bring back options on the Washington side are fairly limited, as there are only three players that pique my interest from a fantasy perspective. While Terry McLaurin is obviously a potential 25+ performance on any given week, I’m looking to save value in this stack to allow room to pay up elsewhere. The two WFT players that perfectly fit that bill are Ricky Seals-Jones and J.D. McKissic.
Logan Thomas is likely to be out or limited for another week, meaning we have at least one more chance to buy low on Seals-Jones. With McKissic, we expect Washington to be playing from behind, particularly with the spread set at 9.5 in Tampa Bay’s favor, and he consistently gets the snaps when it comes to two-minute drills and playing from behind. Additionally, his pass-game upside means you can basically start him as a receiver in your running back spot.
Dak Prescott ($8,100), CeeDee Lamb ($7,700)
Correlate: Kyle Pitts ($6,900), Cordarrelle Patterson ($7,900)
The thinking behind this stack is pretty simple. This matchup has the highest over/under line on the week, currently set at 53.5 points. The Atlanta offense has been catching a rhythm over the past several weeks, so are poised to keep it close, even if they end up losing by a score. Atlanta has scored 27 or more points in four of their last five matchups, demonstrating their ability to put up points and the need for Dallas to pass to stay ahead.
Lastly, if Michael Gallup is activated, he becomes an obvious value play and can even be used in a double stack with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. Stay tuned to the last-minute lineup decisions so you can take advantage if Gallup gets the start.

Value Plays
Devin Singletary ($6,000)
If Zack Moss sits, this is a no-brainer, which is essentially my argument for Devin Singletary this week. I think last week was a fluke performance for the Buffalo Bills and expect them to be playing from ahead against the New York Jets. Further, the Jets have a decent secondary, so Buffalo will need to take a more balanced approach.
Normally, I’d avoid the Bills backfield in almost any lineup, but if Moss is out, Singletary easily has the potential to hit 18 points, tripling his dollar value.
Dalvin Cook ($8,500)
I know it’s odd to pick a player worth over $8,000 as a value play, but this is a case where we are getting an elite running back at a slight discount, which is noteworthy. Dalvin Cook is currently the fifth most expensive running back on the week but easily has the potential to finish as the highest-scoring running back in week 10.
Cook matches up against the Los Angeles Chargers, who have struggled against the run, giving up an average of five YPC to opposing running backs. Combine that with one of the best rushers in the league and you’ve got a recipe for success.
Marvin Jones Jr ($5,900)
The Jacksonville Jaguars face off against the Indianapolis Colts, in a matchup set at 47.5 points where the Colts are favored by 10.5. The implication here is that Jacksonville will be passing to keep up with Indianapolis, which favors none other than Marvin Jones Jr.
On three occasions, Indianapolis has given up over 140 yards to opposing pass-catchers and has allowed multiple touchdowns to opposing pass-catchers on four occasions. When they played Baltimore, both Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown had over 100 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Even last week when they blew out the Jets, Elijah Moore scored two touchdowns and was the best fantasy receiver on the week. With that, Jones is poised for a high upside affair.
Jakobi Meyers ($5,500)
The coveted first touchdown continues to evade Jakobi Meyers and partially because of that, he remains a value pick in DFS lineups. He is eventually going to catch his first touchdown, and when he does it will benefit those who continued to take the risk on him.
Meyers continues to average eight targets per week, providing plenty of volume to give him the opportunity to provide a solid floor.
Scotty Miller ($4,800)
This pick is essentially a continuation of the Tampa Bay stack described earlier. There’s a chance Scotty Miller is activated for this matchup, and if so, he becomes a prime target for DFS lineups, as he has proven breakout performances in the past. Now, the Washington defense may improve after a much-needed bye week, but they have been an incredibly pass-friendly offense, positioning Tampa Bay well for DFS success.
Streaming DST
Green Bay DST ($3,900)
The Green Bay Packers face off against the Seattle Seahawks this week, providing opportunities for multiple sacks which increases turnover opportunities. The Packers are averaging an interception per game and just over two sacks per game. The Seahawks notoriously have struggled at offensive line, so look for the Packers to get to the quarterback on multiple occasions, giving you the floor needed at defense.
Contrarian Moves
Carson Wentz ($7,500), Michael Pittman Jr. ($7,200)
Correlate: Marvin Jones Jr. ($5,900)
The Jacksonville versus Indianapolis matchup involves two bottom ten defenses in terms of pass yards allowed, providing plenty of shootout potential in this matchup. The Colts have given up at least 30 points two consecutive weeks and the Jaguars have done so on four separate occasions this season.
Additionally, Carson Wentz is coming off two consecutive games with at least three pass touchdowns. Before then, the last time Wentz had three passing touchdowns was week 14 of 2019, and his last streak of consecutive games with at least three pass touchdowns was weeks five through seven in 2017. This week’s matchup provides an opportunity to keep that streak alive.
Michael Pittman has been incredibly consistent this season, averaging 13.5 FanDuel points through week nine and 19.6 points over the past three weeks. With that, Pittman is the obvious stacking choice in Indianapolis, in a stack that few will likely target in Week 10.
