We’ve hit Week 10 of the fantasy season, and with the playoffs right around the corner, winning games is key. Exploiting good matchups is a big help. These five guys all have favorable matchups this week.

It’s crazy to think we’re coming up on Week 10 of the NFL season. The playoff picture in both the NFL and your fantasy league is slowly starting to take shape, and you need to start pulling out all the stops in order to make it into the postseason.

The first step in doing that can be identifying the best matchups of the week, where all five of these guys should finish at or near the top of their positional rankings for the week.

Fantasy football’s best Week 10 matchups to exploit

5. RB Najee Harris, Steelers (vs. Detroit Lions)

Najee Harris has maintained elite fantasy football status throughout his rookie year, firmly establishing a top-10 weekly floor. He will maintain that floor and has the upside for an overall RB1 finish in this week’s matchup versus Detroit.

Detroit’s rushing defense is ranked 29th in the league, as they’re giving up 134.5 yards per game on the ground. For Harris owners, that is incredible news. He should be a good bet to lead your skill position players in points this week in perhaps his most favorable matchup so far on the year.
