NFL DraftKings Picks: Week 10

I’ll be posting NFL DraftKings picks here. I cannot post lineups anymore, but I will list some players I like each week.

Week 10: Main Slate

I can no longer post any lineups, per DraftKings rules. I will be trying something different this year, which is to rank my order of preferences by position taking price into account.


Top DFS Quarterbacks:

1. Drake Maye, $6,400 (at Buccaneers)
2. Jared Goff, $5,900 (at Redskins)
3. Matthew Stafford, $6,500 (at 49ers)
4. Jaxson Dart, $5,700 (at Bears)
5. Lamar Jackson, $6,800 (at Vikings)
6. Caleb Williams, $6,000 (vs. Giants)
7. Jacoby Brissett, $4,600 (at Seahawks)

Drake Maye will battle a pass-funnel defense this week, so he’ll continue to look great. Jared Goff can pick up where Sam Darnold left off versus Washington’s putrid defense. And like Maye, Matthew Stafford will be going against a pass-funnel defense.


Top DFS Running Backs:

1. James Cook, $7,500 (at Dolphins)
2. Jahmyr Gibbs, $8,000 (at Redskins)
3. De’Von Achane, $7,400 (vs. Bills)
4. Derrick Henry, $6,800 (at Vikings)
5. Rico Dowdle, $6,300 (vs. Saints)
6. Quinshon Judkins, $6,500 (at Jets)
7. Kyle Monangai, $5,600 (at Bears)
8. David Montgomery, $5,000 (at Redskins)

Miami has a pathetic run defense for James Cook to exploit. Jahmyr Gibbs should have his way against Washington’s horrible defense. Down the list is Kyle Monangai, who would vault to the very top if D’Andre Swift is out again.


Top DFS Wide Receivers:

1. Puka Nacua, $8,700 (at 49ers)
2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, $8,600 (vs. Cardinals)
3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, $8,400 (at Redskins)
4. Rome Odunze, $6,600 (at Bengals)
5. Marvin Harrison Jr., $5,300 (at Seahawks)
6. Zay Flowers, $5,900 (at Vikings)
7. Emeka Egbuka, $7,000 (vs. Patriots)
8. Stefon Diggs, $5,800 (at Buccaneers)
9. Jameson Williams, $4,900 (at Redskins)
10. Tez Johnson, $4,500 (vs. Patriots)

The spend-ups look great this week, but there aren’t many great values. Rome Odunze should be able to bounce back, while Marvin Harrison Jr.’s salary hasn’t adjusted for his Monday night performance.


Top DFS Tight Ends:

1. Tre McBride, $6,000 (at Seahawks)
2. Sam LaPorta, $4,400 (at Redskins)
3. Dalton Kincaid, $4,300 (at Dolphins)
4. Mark Andrews, $3,400 (at Vikings)
5. Hunter Henry, $3,500 (at Buccaneers)
6. Dalton Schultz, $3,600 (vs. Jaguars)

The Seahawks are the worst team in the NFL against tight ends, so Trey McBride looks great. Sam LaPorta and Dalton Kincaid have great matchups as well.


Top DFS Defenses:

1. Lions, $3,400 (at Redskins)
2. Texans, $3,100 (vs. Jaguars)
3. Browns, $2,900 (at Jets)
4. Rams, $3,200 (at 49ers)
5. Bills, $3,700 (at Dolphins)

Marcus Mariota has a very poor matchup against the Redskins. Houston’s defense will cause lots of problems for Trevor Lawrence.




Players to Avoid: TreVeyon Henderson (5600), Justin Jefferson (7900). TreVeyon Henderson may seem cheap, but he’s too difficult to trust right now. I don’t see how you get to Justin Jefferson, given his price and quarterback.

Week 10: Raiders-Broncos Showdown Slate

Top Captains: Brock Bowers (14700). It’s crazy to me that Brock Bowers isn’t the most expensive player on the slate.

Top Spend-Up FLEX (in addition to Top Captains): Courtland Sutton (9600), J.K. Dobbins (8600), Tre Tucker (7000). The top receivers on each team are reasonably priced, as is the favorite’s running back.

Top Value: R.J. Harvey (5600). The Raiders’ poor defense is bound to surrender a big play or two to R.J. Harvey.

Top Punt Play: Michael Mayer (2800). Michael Mayer is running a ton of routes, with the Raiders utilizing multiple-tight end sets often.

Player to Avoid: Bo Nix (10600). Bo Nix has a solid matchup, but he’s a bit too expensive for my liking.
