Week 10’s FIQ Five: 5 Players To Optimize Your DFS Lineup

Week 10 of the NFL season is shaping up to be another exciting one for daily fantasy players, with plenty of high-scoring matchups and standout individual performances on deck. Here are my top 5 DFS insights to help you craft a winning lineup for Sunday’s slate:

 

1. QB Jaxson Dart (Proj: 16.8 / DK $5,700)

Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart continued to show flashes of promise in Week 9 despite the Giants’ 34–24 loss to the 49ers. Dart threw for 191 yards and a touchdown, added 56 rushing yards, and punched in a short rushing score, once again displaying the dual-threat ability that’s kept him fantasy relevant in recent weeks. He faces a Chicago defense ranked 30th against QBs this season.

2. RB De’Von Achane (Proj: 14.2 / DK $7,400)

Achane has been one of the most consistent DFS performers this season, with multiple 20+ point outings despite playing for a 2-7 Dolphins team that ranks 26th in points per game (20.0). His ability to score from anywhere on the field gives him a higher ceiling than most running backs in his price range, and his steady involvement in both the run and pass game keeps his floor solid week to week. He faces a Buffalo defense ranked 26th against RBs this season, and scored 16.1 FPTS in their Week 3 matchup.

3. WR Wan’Dale Robinson (Proj: 13.0 / DK $5,300)

Just like Dart, this is a great matchup for Wan’Dale Robinson and the Giants. In last week’s loss, he secured a career-high 9 receptions. In his last 3 weeks, Robinson has been targeted 27 times, ranked 9th in the NFL. Facing a struggling Chicago secondary, Robinson will likely be able to flourish.

4. WR Parker Washington (Proj: 10.2 / DK $4,700)

With teammate Brian Thomas Jr. out on Sunday for the Jags, it will be Washington’s time to shine at the WR1 spot. Last week, Washington dominated with 8 catches for 90 yards (17 FPTS). Back in Week 3, he had 11 targets against the Texans in a 17-10 win. Although he faces a top passing defense in Houston, he is still likely to see a lot of targets.

5. TE Hunter Henry (Proj: 7.7 / DK $3,500)

Hunter Henry and the Patriots enter this week on a six-game winning streak, backed by second-year QB Drake Maye. They face a Tampa Bay defense that blitzes opposing quarterbacks on 30.7% of snaps, meaning Maye will likely have to throw the ball for short distances during the pass rush. With WR Kayshon Boutte out on Sunday, Henry should see more targets.
