Here is how fantasy football guru Jordan Goethe of Sportsfan 1330 ranks the positions across the NFL for Week 10.
(Bye Week: Bengals, Jaguars, Eagles, Colts, Giants, Cardinals.
Quarterback
1) Patrick Mahomes vs Ari
2) Phillip Rivers vs Oak
3) Aaron Rodgers vs Mia
4) Matt Ryan vs Cle
5) Drew Brees vs Cin
6) Tom Brady vs Ten
7) Ryan Fitzpatrick vs Wsh
8) Jared Goff vs Sea
9) Mitchell Trubisky vs Det
10) Andrew Luck vs Jax
11) Andy Dalton vs NO
12) Carson Wentz vs Dal
13) Russell Wilson vs LAR
14) Alex Smith vs TB
15) Baker Mayfield vs Atl
16) Mathew Stafford vs Chi
17) Marcus Mariota vs NE
18) Nick Mullens vs NYG
19) Eli Manning vs SF
20) Blake Bortles vs Ind
— Phillip Rivers has a great matchup vs Oakland. We saw what happened last week when Nick Mullens, a
practice squad QB, completely destroyed Oakland’s secondary. Rivers has done a good job in limiting his
turnovers this season and continues to put up 20-plus fantasy points each week.
— Both Baker Mayfield and Alex Smith have home games and they both have potential to finally have that
breakout game they have desperately needed.
Running Backs
1) Todd Gurley vs Sea
2) Kareem Hunt vs Ari
3) Melvin Gordon vs Oak
4) Alvin Kamara vs Cin
5) Saquon Barkley vs SF
6) Joe Mixon vs NO
7) James White vs Ten
8) Tevin Coleman vs Cle
9) Ezekiel Elliott vs Phi
10) Nick Chubb vs Atl
11) David Johnson vs KC
12) Leonard Fournette vs Ind
13) Tarik Cohen vs Det
14) Aaron Jones vs Mia
15) Adrian Peterson vs TB
16) Sony Michel* vs Ten
17) Jordan Howard vs Det
18) Marlon Mack* vs Jax
19) Matt Breida vs NYG
20) Duke Johnson Jr. vs Atl
21) Jalen Richard vs LAC
22) Kerryon Johnson* vs Chi
23) Chris Carson* vs LAR
24) Isaiah Crowell vs Buf
25) Mark Ingram II vs Cin
26) Kenyan Drake vs GB
27) Dion Lewis vs NE
28) Austin Ekeler vs Oak
29) LeSean McCoy vs NYJ
30) Ito Smith vs Cle
31) Doug Martin* vs LAC
32) Mike Davis vs LAR
33) Wendell Smallwood vs Dal
34) TJ Yeldon vs Ind
35) Peyton Barber* vs Wsh
36) Giovanni Bernard* vs NO
37) Frank Gore vs GB
38) Kapri Bibbs vs TB
39) Josh Adams vs Dal
40) Jamaal Williams vs Mia
— Adrian Peterson has another great matchup vs TB. The Bucs have not been able to stop anybody this year. Going forward though, AP is a guy I would try and sell high on before the trade deadline. The Redskins placed both starting offensive guards on the IR earlier this week and their best linemen Trent
Williams will miss a few weeks. Good luck running behind a backup offensive line.
— Two guys to keep an eye on are Ito Smith, the backup for Atlanta who has been productive over
the past few weeks, and Eagles’ rookie Josh Adams, who is supposed to get more touches going forward.
Wide Receiver
1) Michael Thomas vs Cin
2) Odell Beckham Jr. vs SF
3) Keenan Allen vs Oak
4) Julio Jones vs Cle
5) Tyreek Hill vs Ari
6) Tyler Boyd vs NO
7) Jarvis Landry vs Atl
8) Cooper Kupp vs Sea
9) Brandin Cooks vs Sea
10) Mike Evans* vs Wsh
11) Julian Edelman* vs Ten
12) Robert Woods vs Sea
13) TY Hilton vs Jax
14) Calvin Ridley vs Cle
15) Marvin Jones Jr. vs Chi
16) Alshon Jeffrey vs Dal
17) Sterling Shepard vs SF
18) Allen Robinson vs Det
19) Golden Tate vs Dal
20) Kenny Golladay vs Chi
21) Amari Cooper vs Phi
22) Josh Gordon vs Ten
23) Tyler Lockett vs LAR
24) Larry Fitzgerald vs KC
25) Doug Baldwin* vs LAR
26) Marquez Valdes-Scantling vs Mia
27) Christian Kirk vs KC
28) Corey Davis vs NE
29) Sammy Watkins* vs Ari
30) Tyrell Williams vs Oak
31) Chris Godwin vs Wsh
32) Taylor Gabriel vs Det
33) Tre’Quan Smith vs Cin
34) DeSean Jackson vs Wsh
35) Donte Moncrief vs Ind
36) Maurice Harris vs TB
37) Nelson Agholor vs Dal
38) Dede Westbrook vs Ind
39) Danny Amendola vs GB
40) Adam Humphries vs Wsh
41) Mike Williams vs Oak
— Finally Julio Jones owners have something to smile about after he scored his first touchdown of the season last week vs Washington.
— There are a few under-the-radar receivers I like this week, including rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Christian Kirk. Both have good matchups and both have had increased targets dating back to the last three or so weeks. Valdes-Scantling has taken over the No. 3 WR spot on the Packers depth chart, and QB Rodgers is starting to trust him more.
— I love all three Chargers receivers vs that bad secondary in Oakland. Keenan Allen is the obvious must
start, and I could make the same case for Tyrell Williams, who continues to be a touchdown catching machine. Mike Williams is a sleeper option in deeper leagues, but he will get looks from QB Rivers, who will be slinging it all over the field on Sunday.
Tight Ends
1) Travis Kelce vs Ari
2) Zach Ertz vs Dal
3) OJ Howard vs Wsh
4) George Kittle* vs NYG
5) Rob Gronkowski* vs Ten
6) Jared Cook vs LAC
7) David Njoku* vs Atl
8) Jimmy Graham* vs Mia
9) Trey Burton vs Det
10) Evan Engram vs SF
11) Eric Ebron vs Jax
12) Jack Doyle vs Jax
13) Austin Hooper vs Cle
14) CJ Uzomah vs NO
15) Jordan Reed* vs TB
16) Chris Herndon vs Buf
17) Vernon Davis vs TB
18) Ricky Seals-Jones vs KC
19) Benjamin Watson vs Cin
20) Nick Vannett vs LAR
— Evan Engram owners are starting to get a little impatient with his production. I completely understand that. I would say give it some more time. He is finally healthy, and hopefully with another week of practice, he should start to get more targets from QB Eli Manning.
— With Jordan Reed having a bad year and now being banged up, I really like Vernon Davis as an option in
deeper leagues.
Defenses and Special Teams
1) Jets vs Buf
2) Chargers vs Oak
3) Bears vs Det
4) Chiefs vs Ari
5) Rams vs Sea
6) Bills vs NYJ

9) Packers vs Mia
10) 49ers vs Giants
11) Jaguars vs Ind
12) Colts vs Jax
13) Falcons vs Cle
14) Cowboys vs Phi
15) Redskins vs TB
— If the Chargers or Jets are available in your league, grab them. The Patriots and Bills also could produce some points this Sunday.

2) Wil Lutz vs Cin
3) Greg Zuerlein vs Sea
4) Stephen Gostkowski vs Ten
5) Robbie Gould vs NYG
