5 breakout fantasy football stars to pick up for Week 10
1. Top Fantasy Football Pickups For Week 10 – Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields
This marks the second week in a row for Fields as the top fantasy football pickup. Fields was rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues last week and that figure increased by 27 percent ahead of Week 10, allowing those managers now invested in Fields to recoup a week-winning performance.
The Bears continued to let Fields run wild and he gashed the Miami Dolphins defense for 178 yards on 15 carries, with the highlight being a 61-yard scamper for a touchdown. There wasn’t a ton of passing juice for Fields, who threw for 123 yards through the air, but he added three more touchdown tosses to give him four total scores on the day.
Any quarterback running as consistently as Fields is with success is a cheat code in fantasy football since he can combine quarterback passing attempts with running back production. Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts emerged as league winners with this model over the past few years and Fields has that potential in 2022.
The window to buy in on Fields is closing rapidly as he should approach the 90 percent rostered threshold in most leagues after his explosive Week 10. If Fields is somehow still available in your league, get him and ride him as a QB1 for the rest of the eason.
