    The 2024 NFL season presents a challenge for fantasy managers.

    Week 9 (MNF still pending) was an outstanding week for sophomore players. De'Von Achane, Chase Brown, Bijan Robinson, Emari Demercado and Jahmyr Gibbs were all top-20 running backs. Meanwhile, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Zay Flowers, Cedric Tillman, Tank Dell, Quentin Johnston, Jayden Reed and Jordan Addison all ranked among the top 20 receivers.

    Week 10 is now upon us.

    Here's a look at my Week 10 fantasy football rankings. Switch between standard, half PPR (points per reception), and full PPR to see where players rank in your league's format.

    Our USA TODAY Sports team will provide you with plenty of content to help you make your lineup and roster decisions for Week 10. Wondering who the best waiver wire claims are? We've got that covered so you can make your pickups. Would you like to know which players you can give up? We have that too. We also have a list of the top 10 Buy Low/Sell High candidates.

    Please note: These rankings will change significantly throughout the week. Check back Sunday morning for final updates.

    Week 10 fantasy football quarterback rankings: movers and shakers

    • UP: Brock Purdy – Purdy, who has four QB8 or higher finishes in his last six starts, faces a Buccaneers defense this season that gives up the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.
    • UP: Aaron Rodgers – The veteran has been ranked QB15 or higher in three of his last four games and will face a beatable Cardinals defense.
    • UP: Daniel Jones – With the MNF still pending, Jones is this week’s QB4. He's a tasty streaming option compared to a non-existent Panthers defense.
    • BELOW: Kyler Murray – Kyler was rated QB15 or worse in five of his nine games this season. It will be tough going up against a Jets squad that has given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points to signal callers this season.
    • BELOW: Caleb Williams – After a two-week hot streak, the rookie has achieved QB28 and QB26 finishes in each of the last two weeks. The run-funnel Patriots have given up the 10th-fewest fantasy points at the position in 2024.
    • BELOW: Drake Maye – Maye gets a brutal draw in Week 10 as the Bears have allowed the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.

    Week 10 fantasy football running back rankings: advancers and decliners

    • UP: De'Von Achane – In four games with Tua Tagovailoa behind center this season, Achane has posted finishes of RB6, RB3, RB3 and RB2. He should be in the top five in the future.
    • UP: Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary – The Carolina Panthers give up nearly four more half-PPR points per game to running backs than any other team in the league. Tracy has had at least 17 touches in four of his last five games, and that amount puts him in the RB1 discussion this week. Singletary is flex-worthy in deeper leagues.
    • UP: Najee Harris – After finishing as an RB30 or worse in four of his first five games, Harris has dropped performances of RB10, RB15 and RB16 in his last three games. He'll be going up against a Washington defense that's been on the run lately.
    • UP: D'Andre Swift – Only four teams have given up more fantasy points to opposing backfields than the Patriots. Swift has now received at least 18 touches in five consecutive contests.
    • BELOW: Kareem Hunt – While not the worst matchup, the Broncos have proven difficult at times this year. They have held to 3.9 yards per carry since Week 2, fifth-best in the league. Hunt is still a top-20 player, but his potential isn't quite as high in this game.
    • BELOW: Tony Pollard – This season, only the Chiefs have given up fewer fantasy points to running backs than the Chargers. Pollard struggled in difficult matchups, finishing at RB21 or lower four times.
    • BELOW: Javonte Williams – Williams gets the nightmare matchup this week. With the MNF still pending, no defenseman has topped 12.2 half PPR points against Kansas City this season. Meanwhile, Javonte has ranked RB27 or lower in all but two 2024 contests.
    • BELOW: Tank Bigsby – The return of Travis Etienne resulted in Bigsby seeing just eight runs against the Eagles. Another tough matchup awaits in Week 10 as the Vikings have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to backs this season.

    Week 10 fantasy football wide receiver rankings: movers and shakers

    • UP: Garrett Wilson – Don’t look now, but Wilson has quietly been the fantasy WR1 since Week 5. The 24-year-old has exceeded 90 yards rushing in four of his last five games and scored three goals in that span. He should enjoy a beatable Cardinals secondary.
    • UP: Jordan Addison – Addison has been a top-30 wideout in three of his last five games, and a matchup with the Jaguars awaits him in Week 10.
    • UP: Tank Dell – The 2023 version of Tank Dell finally appeared in Week 9 when he managed 126 yards against the Jets. With Stefon Diggs out of the lineup, Dell is also expected to be heavily involved in the return of Nico Collins.
    • UP: Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin – CeeDee Lamb ranks second in the league with 84 targets and is dealing with a shoulder injury “week to week.” If he can't walk, Tolbert and Turpin will do volume-based dart throws in Week 10.
    • UP: Xavier Legette – The rookie has scored 13 goals in the last two weeks and has been a top-32 fantasy receiver in four of his last six games. He's an intriguing streaming option since Diontae Johnson was shipped to Baltimore.
    • BELOW: DJ Moore and Keenan Allen – This could have easily been the entire Bears passing game, but Moore and Allen have been completely unplayable lately. Moore finished the season as WR52 or lower three times in a row, and Allen only ranked higher than WR47 once all season.
    • BELOW: Jaylen Waddle – A late touchdown shouldn't obscure the fact that Waddle only had two targets for minus-four yards in Week 9. He hasn't ranked higher than WR39 since Week 1.
    • BELOW: Michael Pittman Jr. – It doesn’t seem to matter who his quarterback is, Pittman is off to a difficult fantasy start this season. The 27-year-old finished five of his nine appearances as a WR57 or worse.
    • BELOW: Wan'Dale Robinson – Robinson has totaled nine scores and rushed for 40 yards with no scores in his last two games. Even in a good match he has a difficult start.

    Week 10 fantasy football tight end rankings: movers and shakers

    • ABOVE: Taysom Hill – The Saints were already extremely banged up on offense, losing Chris Olave to a concussion in Week 9. Hill should be heavily involved this week against the Falcons.
    • UP: Mike Gesicki – In four games without Tea Higgins in the lineup, Gesicki averaged 5.5 receptions for 71 yards. In five games with Higgins, those averages drop to 1.6 receptions for 14.2 yards. If Higgins can't go on TNF, Gesicki is a top streaming option.
    • BELOW: Cole Kmet – Kmet has scored five goals or fewer in every game Keenan Allen has played this season. He has scored a total of one goal in his last two games.
    • BELOW: Dalton Schultz – In nine weeks, Schultz did not rank higher than TE20. With Nico Collins' return imminent, Schultz is no longer required to be on the roster in most leagues.
