Top QBs To Start in Week 10
Justin Fields, Chicago Bears
Justin Fields hasn’t seen the field — yes, pun intended — since Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings, but he has a glorious matchup in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football.
Assuming that Fields has his usual grip strength, which has been the issue that has sidelined him for the past few weeks, he’s a solid start in a plus matchup against a defense that is struggling mightily to slow down essentially everyone.
Don’t forget that before getting injured in Week 6, Fields had finished as the QB3 and QB1 in fantasy football the two weeks prior. If he’s healthy enough to start, he needs to be in your starting lineup.
Sam Howell, QB, Washington Commanders
It’s not pretty on the surface, but Sam Howell continues to get the job done for fantasy football. He now has finished outside of the top 15 QBs for fantasy football just twice this year — it’s Week 10!
Against the New England Patriots defense, Howell threw for 325 yards and finished with 19 fantasy points. Now, he gets a matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, who are currently allowing the 13th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. In a week where several solid QBs are unavailable, Howell’s a perfect plug-and-play option.
