C.J. Stroud is hopefully returning from a concussion which knocked
him out of the last game, but faces a Swiss-cheese pass defense
in Week 10. The Jaguars are allowing the second-most fantasy points
to opposing quarterbacks (25.7), so if he's playing we want him
in our lineup. We'll even take backup Davis Mills (17-of-30 for
137 yards in relief) if need be, just to get a chance to throw
against the Jacksonville secondary. The Jags are allowing 258
passing yards and 2.4 touchdown passes per game this season.
Jared Goff's production is down around 10% this season,
but the Commanders' defense is the elixir to get healthy.
Washington has allowed 269 passing yards per game and 2.1 touchdown
passes while also being little threat to intercept a ball (five
INTs). It's a "revenge" game for an embarrassing
45-31 playoff loss in 2024 when Goff was intercepted three times.
The Lions put up at least 45 points here.
After an exciting last-second comeback victory, Caleb Williams
and the Bears offense, who produced 47 points in Week 9, have
all the momentum. We particularly like his 53 yards rushing last
week as he faces a Giants defense vulnerable to running quarterbacks.
New York is allowing 23.4 FPts/G to opposing QBs including the
fifth-most rushing yards. D.J. Moore finally showed up last week
as did rookie TE Colston Loveland. Now he just needs to reignite
Rome Odunze.
Nobody plays well against this Texans' pass defense. They
have yet to allow a 250-yard passing game and have picked off
as many passes (8) as allowed touchdown passes (8). They played
in Week 3 and Lawrence went 20-of-40 for 222 yards, zero touchdowns
and one interception for just 12 fantasy points. Look elsewhere
for a starting quarterback.
Teams attack the Bills on the ground, not through the air. Buffalo
is allowing just 16.5 FPts/G to opposing QBs, including a league-low
seven touchdown passes. Meanwhile they rank 26th against opposing
RBs. Week 10 figures to be a De'Von Achane-led offense.
The Chargers rank fourth against opposing QBs, yielding just
17 FPts/G. They allow less than one touchdown pass per game and
just 193 passing yards. Their only vulnerability is to running
quarterbacks (45-220-2) and at age 41, that’s just not what
21-year veteran Aaron Rodgers does. He has 18 rushing yards in
eight games. The Chargers are sixth in sacks (26).
