Fantasy football rankings vs. expert consensus – Week 10

As we head into Week 10 of the fantasy football season, lineups need to be set, and with that comes some tough decisions. We’re in the second half of the NFL regular season, which means we’re in the last third of the fantasy regular season. As a result, this week’s start/sit decisions are that much more critical. 

One of the most popular tools here at FTN is our fantasy football rankings. Each week, we bring you non-PPR, PPR and half-PPR rankings to help you win your league. 

Throughout the season, I will break down what players our FTN rankers prefer more (or less) than the expert consensus rankings at FantasyPros. For this article, I will be looking at the half-PPR format.

Quarterback

• The FTN crew is a bit higher on both Justin Herbert and Kirk Cousins, while we are a bit lower on Tom Brady and Daniel Jones.

• Additionally, our FTN rankers believe that Raheem Mostert is no longer a top-36 option with Jeff Wilson in town. 
• Our crew believes more in Antonio Gibson and Rachaad White this week, as we have them both two spots higher than the ECR. 
• David Montgomery and AJ Dillon are players our FTN crew believes have a bit smaller role this week than the ECR.

• CeeDee Lamb is a player our FTN crew thinks may struggle to crack the top 12 this week while the ECR believes he is a top-10 option. 
• George Pickens is the player with the most significant disparity inside the top 36, as our FTN rankers have him three spots higher than the ECR. 
• Additionally, Jerry Jeudy is a player we think has a better chance to be a top-24 option this week than the ECR as we have him at 25 as opposed to the ECR who has him at 27. 
• On the flip side, we have Terry McLaurin two spots outside the top 24 while the ECR believes he is a top 24 option this week. 
• Additionally, FTN has both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett one spot higher than the ECR this week.
