With lots of games on the Week 10 slate promising to be high-scoring, it's important to identify not only the players who will score big but also those who will have low ownership numbers in big tournaments.
As always, our DraftKings this week (3rd highest among quarterbacks), but I will happily be paying the price for him. The Saints' matchup with the 49ers has the second highest over/under of the week at 49, and New Orleans is projected to put up the 4th-highest total in the league at 26.75. Averaging over 40 attempts per game thus far, Brees should see no shortage of volume, and playing at home makes him that much more appealing.
Running Backs
DraftKings price tag is very low at $3,800, and with 18 targets over his last 3 games, he will likely see enough usage to take advantage of what should be a very high-scoring game.
Roddy White, Atlanta Falcons - While White has put up a few duds this year, he has seen a ton of usage in recent weeks, and going up against Tampa he should have no trouble turning those opportunities into big fantasy points. Over the last 3 games, Roddy leads the Falcons in targets, averaging 9 per game which is good for 25.5% of all Atlanta targets in that stretch. Tampa Bay's defense ranks 32nd in the league in terms of Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play and has given up the most fantasy points to opposing wideouts this season.
Tight End
Larry Donnell, New York Giants - Donnell is up against the Seahawks this week, who are one of only two teams in the league to be giving up more than 1.0 touchdowns per game to opposing tight ends. While Donnell's red zone usage hasn't been as high in recent weeks as it was early in the season, he has shown the potential to score multiple touchdowns in a game, and the with the Seahawks being so generous in that department he's got a solid chance at putting up one if not two.
Defense
Carolina Panthers - The Eagles already sit at the top of the league in giveaways with 21. Combining this with Mark Sanchez at the helm, turnovers should be fairly easy to come by for the Panthers, who are fifth in takeaways. The Eagles are still projected to score a ton of points this week, but with what should be a high number of turnovers, Carolina should still put up decent numbers and have a shot at scoring a defensive touchdown, which is critical in tournaments.
