There were some important injuries in the early games including Sam Bradford and Landry Jones forcing QB changes for the two Pennsylvania teams. Justin Hunter and Ryan Mathews also left the game early, but there weren’t as many fantasy-relevant injuries as there have been in the last few weeks.
Let’s get started with our look at the week 10 scoring leaders starting with the second big game from a Bears RB fill-in:
Jeremy Langford-RB-Chicago Bears: Langford carried the Bears to a 37-13 win in St. Louis with 73 yards and a touchdown on the ground on 20 carries and 109 yards receiving on seven catches while also adding a second touchdown. He finished with more fantasy points than any other player in ESPN standard scoring with 29. He will continue to be a top-ten RB for as long as he starts in place of Matt Forte.
Kirk Cousins-QB-Washington Redskins: Cousins was the latest QB to feast against the Saints secondary. He piled up 324 yards on 20/25 passing and threw four touchdowns in the Redskins big 47-24 win.
Ben Roethlisberger-QB-Pittsburgh Steelers: Big Ben wasn’t expected to play, so hardly any owners started him. If you somehow did leave him in your lineup, it was a pleasant surprise to get him in the game after a Landry Jones injury. He finished with 379 yards and three touchdowns while also throwing a pick and a two-point conversion in the Steelers’ 30-9 romp over their rival Browns.
Antonio Brown-WR-Pittsburgh Steelers: Brown was the beneficiary of much of Big Ben’s attention hauling in ten of the 14 passes thrown his way. He totaled 139 yards and two touchdowns while also tacking on a two-point conversion for good measure.
Jay Cutler-QB-Chicago Bears: Cutler threw for three touchdowns against the Rams while piling up 258 yards on 19/24 passing. He added 24 yards on the ground as he helped the Bears to a nice road win.
Matt Jones-RB-Washington Redskins: Jones had his best game since week 2 even though he only totaled 56 yards rushing on 11 carries. He added huge receiving plays as week catching three passes for 131 yards and a touchdown.
Zach Miller-TE-Chicago Bears: After catching the game-winning score on Monday Night Football, Miller had another big game this week as the Bears beat the Rams. He finished with 107 yards on his five catches while getting into the end zone twice.
Brandin Cooks-WR-New Orleans Saints: Cooks got into the end zone twice as well scoring both the Saints’ TD’s in their 47-14 loss. He finished with 98 yards on his five catches and added 11 yards on a rushing attempt.
Martavis Bryant-WR-Pittsburgh Steelers: Bryant only had one touchdown but still had a huge game hauling in six of the ten passes thrown his way. He had a touchdown and 178 yards on his six catches for a big game against the Browns.
Cam Newton-QB-Carolina Panthers: Newton threw for a touchdown and ran for a second score as the Panthers stayed undefeated beating the Titans 27-10. Newton finished with 217 yards passing and 23 yards rushing while operating efficiently with no turnovers and only five incompletions.
