The NFL season is in full swing, and it’s time to set your lineups for Week 10 of the fantasy football season. Jameis Winston, Jordan Love, Geno Smith, and whoever the Raiders quarterback is are on a bye this week, while Dak Prescott is out with a hamstring injury. Below are the quarterback rankings, tiers, and analysis to help you navigate your lineup decisions for Week 10.
Quarterback Rankings for Week 10 Fantasy Football
Tier 1: Superstar Quarterbacks
1. Josh Allen
2. Jalen Hurts
3. Lamar Jackson
4. Joe Burrow
5. Jayden Daniels
Hurts extended his hot streak in Week 9, finishing as a top-four fantasy quarterback for the third straight week. He threw two passing touchdowns and added a rushing score, helping lead the Eagles to victory. Up next, they face the Cowboys, who have struggled defensively and rank in the top five for the most fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. With this favorable matchup, Hurts should continue his impressive run in Week 10, solidifying his place near the top of Tier 1 in the quarterback rankings.
Burrow delivered a stellar performance in Week 9, tossing five touchdown passes with 251 yards in the Bengals victory, despite an interception that was returned for a touchdown. He faces the Ravens on Thursday Night Football in Week 10, a team that has allowed the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Burrow already topped 30 fantasy points against Baltimore earlier this year, and with another high-scoring shootout likely, both he and Lamar Jackson are set up for strong fantasy outings in Week 10.

Tier 2: Low-End QB1s
6. Brock Purdy
7. Jared Goff
8. Baker Mayfield
9. Kyler Murray
10. Sam Darnold
11. Kirk Cousins
Purdy took a breather during his Week 9 bye, and with Christian McCaffrey likely returning for the 49ers Week 10 matchup against the Buccaneers, he’s set up for success. Tampa Bay has struggled against the pass, allowing the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Given the favorable matchup, Purdy climbs to the top of Tier 2 in the quarterback rankings for Week 10, with a solid chance for a strong performance.
Goff maintained his impressive accuracy in Week 9, completing 18 of 22 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown. However, the wet weather kept his fantasy score down to just 9.6 points, marking only his second single-digit performance this season. With a favorable indoor matchup against the Texans on Sunday Night Football in Week 10, Goff is positioned to bounce back and provide solid fantasy value.
Tier 3: Mid-Tier QB2s
12. Patrick Mahomes
13. Bo Nix
14. Daniel Jones
15. Russell Wilson
Mahomes had his best performance of the season, scoring 24.54 fantasy points. This was the first time he scored more than 19 fantasy points in a week this season, and he finished as the QB4 on the week. He has a tougher matchup against the Broncos in Week 10, but he can still be safely started in fantasy lineups.
Jones had a strong performance in Week 9, scoring over 20 fantasy points for just the second time this season. He threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another. In Week 10, Jones plays the Panthers in Germany, who are in the top five for most fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Jones should be able to have a solid performance in Week 10.
Tier 4: Streaming Options
16. Tua Tagovailoa
17. Justin Herbert
18. Aaron Rodgers
19. Trevor Lawrence
20. Matthew Stafford
Tagovailoa put together a solid performance in Week 9, finishing with 17.54 fantasy points after completing 25 of 28 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns. With a favorable matchup against the Rams in Week 10, he remains an appealing streaming option for fantasy managers looking for quarterback production.
Rodgers and the Jets got their season back on track with a victory over the Texans on Thursday Night Football. Rodgers established his connection with Davante Adams, as they connected for their first touchdown of the year with the Jets. He added two more touchdowns to Garrett Wilson. Rodgers should be able to continue his success against the Cardinals next week.
