FanDuel NFL 2021: Best lineup for Week 10

As you survey how to put together a winning FanDuel lineup for Week 10, here’s a lineup to cash in with.

As the traditional fantasy football season winds down, DFS provides an outlet to play and stay engaged. I’m back with a FanDuel lineup for Week 10, and hopeful for better results (#process).

As usual, I’ll be using this lineup in a Sunday main slate contest. Take that as you wish to as an effort to put my money where my mouth is every week.

Without further ado, here’s my FanDuel lineup for Week 10.

FanDuel NFL: Best lineup for Week 10

Quarterback: Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers vs. Minnesota Vikings-$8,000

I’m not loving most of the top-end quarterbacks this week, so I landed on Herbert. After a couple down weeks on each side of a bye, the Chargers’ signal caller rebounded nicely against the Eagles in Week 9 (356 passing yards, two touchdowns; one rushing touchdown).

The Vikings are a mid-tier fantasy defense against quarterbacks so far this season. But they will be without top cornerback Patrick Peterson (IR-hamstring) and Pro Bowl safety Harrison Smith (COVID-19) in the secondary, and defensive end Danielle Hunter (torn pec) is out for the season. Cornerback Bashaud Breeland was also injured in Week 9.

The last two quarterbacks Minnesota has faced (Cooper Rush and Lamar Jackson) have thrown multiple touchdowns against them. Their overall standing against quarterbacks is buoyed by facing Jared Goff, Sam Darnold and a banged up and struggling Baker Mayfield.

The Vikings will struggle to put pressure on Herbert, and their secondary is not particularly good. That adds up to being my FanDuel quarterback for Week 10.
