A daily fantasy sports OG, Notorious has been roaming the DFS streets ever since they were invented. So, who better to walk you through all of the key NFL DFS positions each week? Noto has racked up multiple live final seats and several six-figure tournament wins in his DFS career, and he will mix it up in all different types of contests. In his Key Personnel article for Week 10, he will walk you through his favorite NFL DFS picks, ways to pivot away from the chalk, and overall strategy for the upcoming featured slate.

Happy Week 10!

It’s a wild time in the world right now. It makes you stop and appreciate everything around you. I’m so grateful for my friends and family. I’m also so grateful for my career, and for all of you who make it possible. I hope everyone is having a profitable season thus far, and if not, we still have 9 more main slates to change it.

I have my eye on some contrarian targets and one game stack in particular this week.

Sending love to all of you; now let’s crush this slate.

NFL DFS Top Picks & Plays: Noto’s Key Personnel for Week 10

Top Quarterback Plays

Tier 1 – Core Plays

I typically see a handful of quarterbacks as comparable plays on each main slate, but I view two as well above the rest in Week 10. Other than the game against the Vikings, Tyler Shough ($5,600 DK / $7,300 FD) has found a way to get there every week. He even scored 20 fantasy points in last week’s game that didn’t have a single touchdown until the 4th quarter. He already had great weapons, and now Jordyn Tyson is finally in the fold. Shough also has sneaky rushing upside, topping 20 rushing yards in 4 of 8 games this season. The Saints have a healthy team total (24.5 points) at home in a matchup against the Panthers, who are 23rd in EPA allowed per dropback.

Brock Purdy ($7,000 DK / $8,700 FD) has been one of the most consistent and productive quarterbacks in fantasy football this season. He has scored at least 17 fantasy points in every game but one and has topped 26 fantasy points three times. His XFPPG suggests that his actual production is sustainable. The crazy part is that he’s done it without a bunch of his weapons. His receiving room is finally starting to get healthy, and now he draws a matchup against the Cowboys, who are 28th in EPA allowed per dropback and 30th in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks.

Tier 2 – Strong Plays

Josh Allen ($7,500 DK / $9,500 FD) is coming off his worst fantasy outing of the season, but it was on the road against the Vikings. He still led his team to a 17-point win over one of the best defenses in the NFL. He has a much better draw this week against the Jets, who are 30th in EPA allowed per dropback. The key this week is for the Jets to provide some pushback. The spread (7.5 points) suggests they can keep the game competitive, and if that happens, Allen could easily put up a ceiling performance. He’s the only quarterback on the slate with legitimate 40+ fantasy point upside.

Bryce Young ($5,800 DK / $7,600 FD) is my favorite contrarian option at quarterback this week. He looked nothing short of awful in Weeks 7 and 8, but he bounced back with an impressive outing against the Broncos. He threw for 276 yards and 3 touchdowns. We haven’t seen much rushing upside from him this season, but he’s still managed to top 22 fantasy points in 5 of 8 games. Both of these teams like to play fast, and the Saints are 22nd in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. It’s also very easy to stack with Young, as we know where the ball is going.
