Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em: Week 10 QBs
Start: Bryce Young Fantasy Outlook at Saints
To start the season, Bryce Young was one of the hottest quarterbacks in the league. He was leading the league in passing at one point, but recently, he has more touchdowns than interceptions in just two of the past four games, and he hasn’t thrown for 300 yards in any of those games. However, the matchup this week has him as a “start” in our Week 10 Fantasy Football Start ‘em, Sit ‘em.
Young will go to New Orleans to face a bad Saints defense. They have given up the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks over the past five weeks and the ninth-most yards per pass attempt this season (7.8). They’re also allowing an average of three receptions of 20+ yards to wide receivers in their last four games.
Whether it be Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker or Darren Waller, look for Young to move the ball up and down the field on New Orleans. They haven’t played a good offense since Week 2, so I think we’re about to be reminded how good of a defensive coordinator Brandon Staley is.

Start: Jayden Daniels Fantasy Outlook at Giants
We start Week 10 with Jayden Daniels headed to the Giants on Thursday Night Football. Daniels has been a top-20 fantasy QB every week. The two biggest reasons are that he hasn’t thrown an interception, and he gets points with his legs. Both of these things will be very useful on Thursday.
No team has allowed quarterbacks to run for more yards than the Giants over the past five weeks, allowing 203 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. It’s no surprise that they’ve given up the third-most fantasy points to QBs over this span as well.
Of course, one of those performances was a QB2 finish by Jayden Daniels. He ran for over 100 yards while passing for multiple touchdowns. If the Giants’ pass rush doesn’t get home, their second has proven they can get beat downfield. Daniels’ ability to move will allow him to extend plays, so the Giants will likely really struggle to stop him consistently, making him a solid start in Week 10.
Sit: Kirk Cousins Fantasy Outlook at Packers
In one of the biggest moves at the NFL Trade Deadline, Kirk Cousins was traded back to Minnesota in what was a terrific move for the Las Vegas Raiders. This season, Cousins has been absolutely terrific, ranking as QB4 overall. While he could be good in Minnesota, his first game could be tough.
First off, Cousins is essentially on a short week, having to get reacquainted with everything Vikings in a short time. He then has to travel to Green Bay to play a Packers defense that is buzzing.
The Packers are allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points to QBs this season, and they haven’t allowed a QB to score 20 fantasy points this season. Also, Cousins has to be worn out. He’s an old quarterback who won’t get a bye week this season (due to the trade), and he is playing his third straight game. He was lucky in Vegas, as the Raiders have allowed just 1.2 sacks per game. That has not been the case in Minnesota, with Vikings QBs getting sacked 2.9 times per game.
The Packers have been getting after the passer, so expect Kirk Cousins to get hurried and hit plenty on Sunday. It’s wise to sit him in his first game back.
Sit: Fernando Mendoza Fantasy Outlook vs Seahawks
A baptism by fire — that’s what Fernando Mendoza gets to kick off his NFL career. Not only does he play the Seattle Seahawks this week, but he will then play at Denver and Cleveland for the two games after. I think Mendoza will be a solid quarterback, and he is more than capable of making every throw, but this Seattle defense will show him that there is a difference between college and NFL speed.
The Seahawks are allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to QBs this season. Kirk Cousins has been great for the Raiders this season, but don’t expect Fernando Mendoza to step in and play just as well. Also, Cousins would have been a “sit” for me in this matchup as well./
