JUMP TO:
Four more teams hit the bye week on the NFL calendar for Week 10, but many top quarterbacks return from their breather to make up the difference for fantasy football managers.
Given the combination of the ascension of midrange quarterbacks and some enticing matchups this week, quarterbacks sit in abundance outside of superflex/2QB setups, so adjustments can easily be made.

Who are the best Week 10 fantasy QBs?
The top tiers remain stacked with options for 1QB formats.
Josh Allen outdueled Patrick Mahomes in the Bills' victory and occupies the No. 1 spot this week against the cratering division-rival Dolphins.
The Commanders' horrendous pass defense, which was gashed by Sam Darnold on Sunday Night Football, will struggle to contain the Lions' deep crop of elite pass-catchers, which positions Jared Goff near the top once again.
Jalen Hurts' return from bye comes against a Green Bay Packers pass defense that will wilt, especially if A.J. Brown returns from injury.
Which fantasy QB sleepers should I stream for Week 10?
Bryce Young keeps finding easy opponents, and the Saints' pass defense should allot him a strong superflex/QB2 status.
Marcus Mariota once again will step in for an injured Jayden Daniels, though the talented sophomore's gruesome left-arm injury likely means he's done for the season.

Which quarterbacks rank as fantasy Week 10 busts?
Even after his four-touchdown performance in Week 9, Geno Smith deserves plenty of pause for fantasy lineup consideration against the Denver Broncos' tough pass-stopping unit.
With another long-term injury facing Pro Bowl-quality tackle Joe Alt (ankle), Justin Herbert may have trouble resisting the Steelers' pass rush in T.J. Watt.
J.J. McCarthy's renaissance in Week 9 re-instilled season-long confidence in rostering him in 1QB leagues, but the Ravens defense is improving and getting healthier, so he's more of a borderline starter in those formats.
The Packers' Jordan Love likely loses high-impact TE Tucker Kraft (knee) for the season and draws an Eagles defense coming off a bye. That's hardly a trustworthy combination.
