Fantasy Football: 5 Historical Vegas Trends You Should Know for Week 10

Start Matthew Stafford as a Favorite

The Detroit Lions are favored by 11.5 points over the winless Cleveland Browns. Matthew Stafford will certainly be a chalky pick this week but he seems to be a safe play for many reasons. One of those reasons is how he has performed in games when the Lions were favored.

Per the Rotoviz Game Splits App, Stafford has averaged a smoldering 24.74 half-PPR fantasy points per game as a favorite. He's actually never been favored by this many points in his career. The following is a small sample size but veteran quarterback has excelled in three games as a 10-point favorite or higher.

Stafford is priced at $8,200, which ranks fifth among quarterbacks on FanDuel. At this price, he's a safe play for cash games and has tournament upside.
