Week 10 fantasy football rankings: Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs lead way

With four of the top NFL teams about to enjoy their in-season week off, fantasy managers will be leaning even harder on players such as Bills QB Josh Allen and WR Stefon Diggs, who are tops at their positions this week.

ON BYE: Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams

Fantasy football rankings for Week 10 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.

Fantasy football Week 10 quarterback rankings

Rookie C.J. Stroud is coming off his best game as a pro last week (470 yards, 5 TDs).The Cardinals officially added Kyler Murray to the roster on Tuesday. He’s expected to make his season debut vs. the Falcons.Sleeper pick: Geno Smith faces a Washington pass defense that’s allowing an NFL-high 20.2 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.

David Montgomery (ribs) hasn’t played since Week 6, but he’s been a full participant in practice this week. However, rookie Jahmyr Gibbs just ran for a career-high 152 yards and a touchdown in the lead back role in Week 9.Saquon Barkley (ankle) does not have an injury designation this week. He also doesn’t have Daniel Jones (IR-knee) under center as rookie Tommy DeVito will start vs. Dallas.Sleeper pick: While the Allen-Diggs combo gets much of the attention, Buffalo’s James Cook could flourish against a Broncos defense that gives up a league-high 33.6 fantasy points per game to running backs.

Fantasy football Week 10 wide receiver rankings

Ja’Marr Chase (back) did not practice at all through Wednesday and is questionable for Sunday vs. the Texans.Sleeper pick: With injuries to Chase and Tee Higgins (hamstring) Tyler Boyd could play a larger-than-usual role in the Bengals’ passing offense.Tank Dell is coming off a huge game (6 catches, 114 yards, 2 TDs) and is ranked slightly ahead of teammate Nico Collins, though both are excellent starts at Cincinnati.Drake London (groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday.
