Fantasy football Week 10: Justin Fields, Justin Jefferson take over

Week 10 of the 2022 fantasy football play featured different tremendous time by Justin Fields. Which developments from the week are worthy speechmaking into? Matt Bowen and Tristan H. Cockcroft connection their analysis.

Fields cannot beryllium stopped

What a two-week -- and, truly five-week -- agelong for the second-year quarterback, arsenic Fields dominated connected the crushed and was plentifulness serviceable done the aerial yet again, totaling 39.38 phantasy points against a atrocious Lions defense. He has present scored astatine slightest that galore phantasy points successful consecutive games, joining Lamar Jackson, who did truthful successful Weeks 2-3 of this year, arsenic the lone quarterbacks since astatine slightest 1950 to bash so. Additionally, Fields followed up his record-setting 178 rushing yards of Week 9 with 147 connected Sunday, that the seventh-best full by a backmost successful history. The Bears are making acold greater usage of his skills implicit the past month, and that bodes highly good heading into different imagination matchup with the Falcons successful Week 11. He's an unquestioned top-five positional play for maine then, too. -- Cockcroft

I'm with you here, Tristan. Fields volition beryllium successful my apical five, too. The rushing quality is electric, and the Bears are mounting him connected designed carries to get him escaped successful space. Zone-read, powerfulness schemes, more. And the walk crippled is processing with Fields successful Chicago. The Bears backmost has present thrown aggregate touchdowns successful his past 3 games, with schemed concepts successful the reddish portion and scripted verticals. He's a dynamic endowment with high-level playmaking traits. -- Bowen

Jefferson delivers successful triumph implicit Bills

It's hard penning astir Justin Jefferson without diving profoundly into the perfectly bonkers decorativeness to his team's upset triumph implicit the Bills, a crippled his Vikings trailed 27-10 aft astir 3 afloat quarters but came backmost to win, 33-30, successful overtime. Still, it was Jefferson's exploits that made a immense quality successful the outcome, including an unbelievable, game-saving drawback successful the 4th fourth -- spell cheque retired the item reel (or my Twitter feed) for that one, it's worthy respective watches -- arsenic good arsenic a brace of cardinal receptions that acceptable up the decisive tract goal. The last full was 35.3 PPR phantasy points connected 16 targets, the 4th clip this play unsocial helium has exceeded 30 points, arsenic Jefferson continues to flash best-in-the-game positional talents. He has a pugnacious matchup up adjacent successful the Cowboys, but elite performers thin to elevate supra those, and there's small uncertainty successful my caput that he'll beryllium 1 of the 3 highest scorers astatine his presumption from this constituent forward. -- Cockcroft

Allen looks unbothered by injured elbow

Josh Allen attempted 43 passes successful Sunday's nonaccomplishment to the Vikings, completing 67.4% of those throws. And I truly didn't spot a large interaction from the elbow wounded successful this 1 erstwhile focusing connected the walk game. Allen produced arsenic a runner, excessively (84 yards connected six carries), showcasing the carnal constituent that is simply a large portion of his profile. However, for the 3rd consecutive week, Allen threw aggregate interceptions, successful summation to the fumbled drawback connected his ain extremity enactment that resulted successful a game-changing moment. The turnovers, which person abruptly go a antagonistic inclination for Allen, person played a cardinal relation successful the backmost failing to apical the 20-point phantasy scoring people successful 2 of his past 3 games. Allen volition look to close that successful Week 11 versus the Cleveland defense. -- Bowen

Buffalo's Josh Allen overcoming wounded and turnovers, Miami offering a brace of fantabulous moving backs for phantasy and Denver offering thing for phantasy are among the things Eric Karabell noticed successful Sunday's aboriginal games.

What I'm wondering now, considering the Bills present nary longer person a stock of the AFC East lead, successful what's really a competitory division, is whether this crippled serves a wake-up telephone for Allen and his teammates. They've got a brace of easy winnable -- and rather fantasy-friendly -- games up adjacent (Browns, Lions), successful which they need W's, earlier getting to contend with divisional competition, and considering Allen's wounded didn't look to beryllium a panic-button happening aft each -- we some hold that his elbow was not the contented present -- it's casual to play the optimist's portion going forward. What if this is the archetypal clip successful a agelong clip that Allen is simply a morganatic phantasy buy-low? I look astatine his docket and spot a precise existent accidental that, if the wounded is genuinely down him, helium could respond to this sloppy nonaccomplishment with a monstrous blistery streak. -- Cockcroft

Kmet is playing similar a TE1

The reddish portion numbers are jumping here, arsenic Cole Kmet has logged 5 touchdowns successful his past 3 games, with 4 reddish portion scores. And those are designed concepts to get him the ball. Play-action and question throws for Fields. The Bears besides schemed up Kmet successful Sunday's nonaccomplishment to the Lions connected a inclination breaker (off footwear action) for a 50-yard score. With astatine slightest 22 oregon much PPR points successful his past 2 games, positive the violative deployment we are seeing successful scoring position, I bash spot Kmet arsenic a TE1 for the Week 11 matchup versus the Falcons' defense. -- Bowen

Other observations:

Rachaad White, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: White should beryllium added successful each scoring formats. The rookie, who is rostered successful conscionable 24.3% of ESPN leagues, posted play highs successful the Week 10 triumph implicit Seattle, with 22 carries for 105 rushing yards. We saw a beauteous adjacent backfield divided successful this 1 with Leonard Fournette, with the seasoned holding a 14-to-11 interaction vantage earlier helium near the crippled with a hep injury. Fournette's presumption volition request to beryllium monitored here, but adjacent if he's backmost for the Week 12 crippled versus the Browns (Bucs are connected a bye successful Week 11), White simply plays astatine a faster clip. And his receiving skills adhd to his phantasy upside. -- Bowen

Tristan H. Cockcroft says Rachaad White needs to beryllium universally added connected phantasy rosters contempt being connected the bye this week.

Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: There's that high-volume crippled we came to emotion from St. Brown precocious past play and successful the opening minutes of this season, arsenic his 11 targets, 10 catches and 22.1 PPR phantasy points were each his astir successful a crippled since Week 2, earlier an ankle wounded began to hinder him. St. Brown appeared afloat steadfast successful this contest, and it's large to spot him again getting accordant looks from Jared Goff, who seems overmuch much comfy erstwhile he's facing defenses that supply little pressure. That mightiness not beryllium truthful successful upcoming matchups against the Jaguars (Week 13) oregon Jets (Week 15), but the erstwhile inactive grades a affirmative matchup connected the sum front, truthful there's each crushed to judge St. Brown should beryllium a play WR1 for the duration. -- Cockcroft

Darius Slayton, WR, New York Giants: If you request a streaming enactment successful Week 11, past I would instrumentality a look astatine Slayton. Rostered successful 4.6% of ESPN leagues, Slayton has softly enactment unneurotic 3 consecutive games of double-digit PPR accumulation -- successful a precise low-volume throwing offense. He's a vertical people for backmost Daniel Jones, arsenic we saw his straight-line velocity connected the 54-yard catch-and-run people successful Sunday's triumph implicit Houston. With an upcoming matchup versus the Lions' secondary, Slayton would acceptable arsenic a WR3 successful deeper leagues. -- Bowen

Jeff Wilson Jr., RB, Miami Dolphins: He couldn't person acclimated himself into the Dolphins' discourtesy overmuch much efficaciously than helium has aft 2 weeks' time, and considering his usage patterns, there's a precise existent accidental that Wilson could present unexpectedly accordant RB2 numbers for phantasy managers down the stretch. He played 60% of the Dolphins' violative snaps to Raheem Mostert's 28%, had a 19-12 vantage implicit his rival successful presumption of full touches, and was clocked with the fastest tally of the 2 with his 19.7 mph touchdown scamper per Next Gen Stats. Wilson and his caller teammates present bash spell into their bye week, but he's a top-15 positional play for his Week 12 crippled against the Texans' defense. He needs to beryllium rostered successful much than the 77.0% of leagues successful which helium is. -- Cockcroft

Tristan H. Cockcroft breaks down the phantasy worth of Jeff Wilson Jr. for the remainder of the season.

Kadarius Toney, Kansas City Chiefs: He's 1 to stash, should you person astir of your byes successful your rearview, request receiver extent oregon simply person the unfastened roster spot, arsenic Toney's Sunday was encouraging capable to vault him into the Chiefs' receiver-go-round of phantasy relevance. Playing elevated numbers of violative snaps (45%) and routes tally (15), possibly successful portion owed to JuJu Smith-Schuster's aboriginal wounded exit, Toney scored 19.0 PPR phantasy points connected 5 targets and 2 rushing attempts, including a 6-yard touchdown reception successful which helium tiptoed into the extremity zone, arsenic good arsenic a large sideline drawback successful the 3rd quarter. Those should gully him much looks from Patrick Mahomes, and considering his monolithic upside, he's worthy an adhd everywhere. -- Cockcroft

T.J. Hockenson, TE, Minnesota Vikings: Trust the people measurement and the enactment usage with Hockenson successful a Minnesota strategy that upgrades his phantasy profile. In his 2 games with the Vikings, Hockenson has posted back-to-back weeks of double-digit PPR production, portion catching 16 of 19 targets. And we've seen Hockenson deployed successful the way histrion from aggregate alignments here. He'll beryllium a play TE1 for maine -- careless of the matchup. -- Bowen

Christian Kirk, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars: In what has been a mostly up-and-down sophomore play for Trevor Lawrence, Kirk is 1 of the things that has gone consistently right. Kirk scored 31.5 PPR phantasy points, the 2nd astir successful his vocation (37.8, Week 10 of 2019), connected 12 targets, with a show that continued to found him arsenic Lawrence's go-to guy. He and the Jaguars present caput to their bye week, but pursuing that, helium should beryllium a locked-in WR2 considering his usage and accomplishment set. -- Cockcroft

Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, Kansas City Chiefs: It seems that his clip arsenic the Chiefs' pb backmost is over, aft helium played conscionable 4 of 62 violative snaps and saw a specified 2 targets, neither caught, with zero rushing attempts. Isiah Pacheco, meanwhile, played 57% of the snaps and had 16 carries, and helium brings a much explosive constituent to the team's backfield. It's the 2nd consecutive week coming retired of the bye that Edwards-Helaire has been scarcely used, and phantasy managers successful shallow leagues tin freely determination connected and find a much productive replacement. -- Cockcroft

Eric Karabell details however Clyde Edwards-Helaire's phantasy show continues to decline.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, WR, Tennessee Titans: The "out of nowhere" show of Week 10, Westbrook-Ikhine, rostered successful a specified 0.7% of ESPN leagues, exploded for 28.9 PPR phantasy points connected 8 targets, aft having had six targets total successful his erstwhile 5 games played. He surely benefited from the steadfast instrumentality of Ryan Tannehill, but possibly mightiness beryllium getting much looks aft Robert Woods and Austin Hooper haven't shown overmuch successful the receiving game. Treylon Burks' instrumentality from injured reserve -- helium had 5.4 points connected his six targets -- creates immoderate hesitation successful rushing to adhd Westbrook-Ikhine, but their people shares are worthy monitoring adjacent successful modular leagues successful the adjacent fewer weeks. -- Cockcroft
