Week 10 of the NFL season is here, but what boom or bust candidates should you focus on for your fantasy team?

Most of Week 9’s fantasy football picks were right on the money aside from a few anomalies. Gardner Minshew was the latest player to fall victim to the London playing atmosphere and Allen Robinson turned in his first dud of the year (go figure).

As far as the rest of the BOOMs go, Melvin Gordon finally broke out, taking full advantage of Green Bay’s leaky run defense. While I figured volume would be the driving factor for Phillip Lindsay‘s big day, but he was gifted only nine carries, turning those into 92 yards and a score. Bravo.

For the Lions, it wasn’t Kenny Golladay, but Marvin Jones Jr. (although both were fantastic) who posted the stronger fantasy score as the team fell just short against the Raiders. On Monday night, Evan Engram‘s fantasy line was just “OK,” but he remained the Giants’ bread-and-butter option in what was mostly a close division battle.

Onto the BUSTs, where both Courtland Sutton and Kenyan Drake proved me (and the entire fantasy community) wrong in his Arizona debut. The rest were spot-on, as Carson Wentz, Sony Michel, and Corey Davis all sputtered in tougher matchups. And while Darren Fells caught a touchdown, it was his only reception of the day… and only for one yard.

Week 9 Boom Picks:

QB Gardner Minshew vs. HOU – 309 passing yards, 2 INT, 34 rushing yards, 2 FUM (7.8 points)

RB Melvin Gordon vs. GB – 80 rushing yards, 2 TD, 3 receptions for 29 yards (25.9 points)

RB Phillip Lindsay vs. CLE – 92 rushing yards, TD (15.2 points)

WR Allen Robinson @ PHI – 1 reception for 6 yards (1.6 yards)

WR Marvin Jones Jr. @ OAK – 8 receptions for 126 yards, TD (26.6 points)

TE Evan Engram vs. DAL – 6 catches for 48 yards, 2 rushing yards (11 points)

Week 9 Bust Picks:

QB Carson Wentz vs. CHI – 239 passing yards, TD, 15 rushing yards (15.1 points)

RB Sony Michel @ BAL – 18 rushing yards, 1 reception for 12 yards (4 points)

RB Kenyan Drake vs. SF – 110 rushing yards, TD, 4 receptions for 52 yards  (28.2 points)

WR Courtland Sutton vs. CLE – 6 receptions for 56 yards, TD, 7 rushing yards (17.3 points)

WR Corey Davis @ CAR – 4 receptions for 48 yards (8.8 points)

TE Darren Fells @ JAX – 1 reception for 1 yard, TD (7.1 points)

Total Correct Picks: 7/12

Now, let’s dive into some boom or bust picks for Week 10.
