It’s been a great fantasy football season. It’s been a great NFL betting season. 

My Mojo FTN Fantasy Challenge?  Not so much. 

Through three weeks of my competition against fellow FTN analysts Josh Gross and Benny Ricciardi, I am bringing up the bottom in third place, sitting $200 below my starting investment of $1000. Players such as Deon Jackson and Khalil Herbert greatly disappointed in Week 9, cutting into my potential profits. 

Turning the page, here are my top three Mojo investments for Week 10. I have one Short Sale and two Long Investments. 

Time to get back in the race. 

Week 10 Investments

D’Onta Foreman, RB, Carolina Panthers

vs. Atlanta (Go Short)

D’Onta Foreman was one of the big Week 9 busts, totaling only 23 rushing yards on seven attempts in the Panthers blowout loss at Cincinnati. This week, running back Chuba Hubbard should return to the field, cutting into Foreman’s work. Hubbard is the superior pass-catcher and could steal some of Foreman’s early-down work if Carolina falls behind. The weather is also projected for heavy wind and rain as Hurricane Nicole travels from Florida. The total started at 43 points and is already headed down. Foreman’s stock reached a career-high price of $4.56 per share just one week ago Nov. 4. Investors have overlooked the Panthers blowout loss and kept Foreman’s price hovering around $4.22. If Hubbard makes a significant impact on Foreman’s workload, and the game plays to the under as projected, Week 10 is actually a great time to Go Short on Foreman’s stock at Mojo. 

James Conner, RB, Arizona Cardinals

at LA Rams (Go Long)

James Conner looked recovered in Week 9, and the Cardinals used him as their regular RB1. He saw a 72.1% snap share, his highest of the season. He once again displayed his pass-catching abilities, catching all five of his targets on 22 routes run. Conner was a dominant producer for the Cardinals last season, ranking third in total touchdowns (18), 11th among all running backs in receiving yards (375), and producing five finishes of RB8 or better over the last seven weeks of the season. 

In Week 10, Arizona travels to Los Angeles to face a Rams team that defeated them at home in Week 3. The Cardinals now have DeAndre Hopkins back at wide receiver, which has translated to an average of 29.7 points since his Week 6 return. 

Conner’s price has plummeted since the start of the season, where his shares on Mojo were trading for $13.77 per share. He is now trading around $11.48 per share but is still only 27 years old. Mojo has made it even more enticing for Conner this week, providing an insane 15X multiplier on his potential profits. While the matchup is difficult, Los Angeles has allowed 41 receptions to opposing running backs. Conner’s volume is so strong, that he is worth the risk in a divisional game on the road, especially with that 15X multiplier. 

Courtland Sutton, WR, Denver Broncos

at Tennessee (Go Long)

At some point, Courtland Sutton and Russell Wilson are going to regain their connection. Sutton saw 46 targets over the first five weeks, catching 29 passes. Coming off their bye, I expect the Broncos to get their 27-year-old receiver involved early and often. The Titans defense is a pure pass funnel, ranking first overall in run defense. In order for Denver to stay competitive, they will need to move the ball through the air against the Titans. 

Sutton’s price on Mojo has dropped substantially since Week 5. On Oct. 17, Sutton’s price was at a one-year high of $13.79 but has dropped over $1 in the past month to the current value of $12.89. He is still the clear WR1 in a Denver passing attack that has struggled all season. The Broncos have the seventh-best schedule for fantasy wide receivers in Weeks 11-15, signaling that Sutton should have chances to end a disappointing 2022 in strong fashion. 

I’m banking on a much-improved Denver passing attack coming out of the bye week and welcome the opportunity to buy low on one of the NFL’s best wide receivers.
