2017 NFL Week 10 Fantasy Football Picks
Did you use our Colin Kaepernick pick last week? We did and it did us well. Admittedly playing a QB against the Saints defense seems to be a winning strategy this year for fantasy football contests. I know a few of the DraftKings Fantasy Football Millionaire winners this year have used a QB that was playing against the Saints. This week it’s Trevor Siemian that gets the lucky straw…maybe worth taking this week?

There are some intriguing games this Sunday for you to look at for making FanDuel and DraftKings picks. Falcons/Eagles, Saints/Broncos and one that may go under the radar is the Bears/Bucs. No really high O/U to look at but some potential for fantasy gold out there.
It’s NFL Week 10 and time is running out. DK isn’t running their Millionaire Maker this week but you can take advantage of this great contest. FanDuel is still running their Road to 51 Contest which is great for fantasy players to take a shot at going to the Superbowl in Houston.
FanDuel Fantasy Picks for the Sunday Million
QB – Quarterback Picks
Jay Cutler $7,000 – Well Jay Cutler returned from injury to beat a Vikings defense nobody thought he could beat. After a bye week the Bears face the Bucs and I expect the ball to be flying on Sunday. $7,000 is a great low salary cap cost for a QB that may be slinging it all day.
Marcus Mariota $7,400 – Mariota has been pretty solid lately and now gets to face a banged up secondary and a QB that can score in bunches. Look for the Titans to throw a lot against the Packers.
RB – Running Back Picks
Jay Ajayi $7,800 - Although he didn’t get another 200 yard game, he was still a solid fantasy pick for us last week at FanDuel and will be once again while playing the Chargers.
Melvin Gordon $8,300 – Speaking of the Chargers, Gordon is their 3 down back and against the Dolphins this week the Chargers may want to just feed him the rock and control the clock.
WR – Wide Receiver Picks
Cameron Meredith $5,300 – So I do like Alshon Jeffery this week and pick him below, you could always try a cheaper stack with Meredith. Cameron showed some great skills for a few weeks and after a bye week the Bears offense may want to include him more knowing that teams will focus on Jeffery.
Dez Bryant $7,500 – Boy did Dez Bryant crap the bed last week for fantasy players. But this Sunday if the Steelers offense wakes up with Big Ben you can count on the Cowboys needing to throw more to Bryant to generate points.
TE – Tight End Picks
Rob Gronkowski $8,000 – The risk with picking Gronk is that the Seahawks try to focus their defense on stopping him which would negate his value. He is pretty matchup proof but with Bill Belichick who knows sometimes.
Jordan Reed $7,000 – When healthy he is one of the top fantasy picks every week. Playing a tough Vikings defense could see Cousins rely on Reed even more this Sunday.
Defense
Houston Texans $4,700 – Still a fan of the Jets defense this week (See the DraftKings Fantasy Picks) but they are too expensive at FanDuel so I will go with the Texans.
DraftKings Fantasy Football Picks for Fantasy Football Millionaire
QB – Quarterback Picks
Philip Rivers $6,700 – Playing against the Dolphins this week will allow Rivers the opportunity to move the ball freely. Although I still expect them to run the ball, it wouldn’t be a Chargers game unless they threw a bunch too!
Trevor Siemian $5,600 – What’s the cure for a struggling QB…The New Orleans Saints! The Broncos defense won’t stop Drew Brees, especially at home so they will have to give Siemian the chance to use his wideouts and score against the weak defense.
RB – Running Back Picks
David Johnson $8,400 – Johnson is just awesome and this week he gets to be awesome against the 49ers. Carson Palmer hasn’t been very good and I like the Cardinals to simply run all day.
Melvin Gordon $7,100 – So good, I mention him again for my DraftKings Fantasy Picks this week. He is a rare 3 down back and I don’t see any way that the Dolphins will stop him.
WR – Wide Receiver Picks
Alshon Jeffery $6,600 – With the return of Jay Cutler, Jeffery gets a bump on my fantasy football radar this week playing a Bucs team that will try to air it out against a weak Bears secondary. Cutler tries to force the ball to Jeffery so hope for added scores on Sunday.
Emmanuel Sanders $6,800 – Stacking with Siemian may be a great play this week. You could look at D. Thomas here too but Sanders has more big play ability and that usually translates into big scores.
TE – Tight End Picks
Antonio Gates $3,900 – Gates is Rivers’ favorite receiver and should get plenty of targets this week too.
Jimmy Graham 5,300 - I don’t love the TE matchups this week but Graham may just be best value play against the Patriots and their star TE.
Defense
New York Jets $2,800 – Why the Jets? They are the lowest O/U of the week playing against an offensively challenged Rams team. The Jets secondary is pretty good so maybe an INT could result in a score.
