After four straight weeks of 10 games, Week 9 had a bonus game with 11 games on the slate. Week 10, though, returns to the solid cadence of 10 games per Sunday afternoon. To help you as you build your Week 10 DraftKings lineups, let’s run down the fantasy football rankings at each of the primary positions for the main DraftKings slate in this cheat sheet.
The DraftKings main DFS fantasy football slate begins with the seven games kicking off at 1:00 p.m. ET and wraps up with the three games that are in the late window, highlighted by the Rams-49ers matchup in the NFC West and the Lions trying to bounce back against the banged-up Commanders. The highest point totals in the opening odds on DraftKings Sportsbook are from that Commanders-Lions game and the Bills-Dolphins matchup in the early window.
The fantasy football rankings in this post are based on what we know coming into the week on Monday, so stay tuned to DK Network for more news throughout the week to see if your lineup should be adjusted at all.
These player rankings are based solely on total output, independent of the players’ salaries. They do not account for value, ownership, ceiling or correlation, which should all be factors in building your final lineup. They are, however, a great starting point as you start to look ahead or as you compare specific options in a particular position.
To catch up on the top lineup from the Week 9 contest, check out my breakdown of the winning lineup. You can also find full rankings for the week at each position on my author page. The rankings on this page do not include any players from the prime-time matchups, which are on separate slates. Each of the position-specific rankings includes all the players for the entire week.
Be sure to set your lineup for all Week 9 contests, highlighted by the NFL $2.75M Fantasy Football Millionaire [$1M to 1st].
