Week 10 Fantasy QB Rankings: Jared Goff, Dak Prescott on start-or-sit bubble image

This week's six-team actually isn't overly harsh on quarterbacks, as three usual starters (Tom Brady, Carson Wentz, Deshaun Watson) are idle, same as last week (Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Jared Goff). Still, that's three studs most fantasy football teams rely on, meaning we have to dig deep for replacements. Given the matchups, that makes for some odd-looking Week 10 fantasy QB rankings. 

For some owners, this week might come down to a decision like this: Would you rather play a mediocre QB, such as Sam Darnold (vs. Giants), in a good matchup or a good QB, such as Matthew Stafford (@ Bears), in a bad one? You can play this game with Daniel Jones (@ Jets) and Jared Goff (@ Steelers) or Ryan Tannehill (vs. Chiefs) and Dak Prescott (vs. Vikings), too.

Most fantasy owners are likely going to stick with the better QBs. We're getting to the point in the season where it's more difficult to leave your playoff fate in the hands of a boom-or-bust quarterback. Sure, any of the aforementioned guys -- or Brian Hoyer (vs. Dolphins) if he starts in place of Jacoby Brissett or Mitchell Trubisky (vs. Lions), etc. -- could have solid games, but Stafford feels like a safer bet for a high floor. Goff is probably the one exception given his up-and-down season and road struggles, but even he feels safer given his weapons.

Speaking of "safe", Jameis Winston (vs. Cardinals) and Kyler Murray (@ Buccaneers) rarely are, but they're both in our top 10 this week because of the matchups. Murray has yet to throw a touchdown in four road starts, accounting for just one overall, so he's very much a risk at Tampa, but given the matchup, we think he's due for some of that positive regression we always hear about.
