Welcome to Week 10 of the 2021 NFL season. This week presents great opportunities to build your DraftKings GPP and cash lineups with players we find as must plays. With injuries starting to take its tole on several teams, trades being made and byes still in effect – we have you covered.

So now, let’s get to our DraftKings NFL Week 10 Picks for the Sunday Main Slate.

Top Stack

Minnesota Vikings @ Los Angeles Chargers (-3.5) 53.5

Justin Herbert (QB) Los Angeles Chargers ($7,300)

Justin Herbert bounced back in a big way last week. All he did was put up 34.6 DKFP against the Philadelphia Eagles after being held to a combined 27.8 DKFP in weeks 8 and 9. Even after putting up 30+ fantasy points, he’s only the fourth-highest-priced quarterback on DraftKings. And this week, he is blessed with a great game environment versus the Minnesota Vikings. This game is projected to be close and high scoring, the perfect combination for fantasy points.

Over the last four games, the Viking’s defense has allowed the third most DKFP/GM (22.3) to opposing quarterbacks. Just two weeks ago they let backup Cowboys QB Cooper Rush throw for over 300 yards against them. Herbert, who ranks in the top ten in passing yards (2,350) and passing touchdowns (17) should have a field day against this defense.

Mike Williams (WR) Los Angeles Chargers ($6,600)

If you were to look at the last three-game logs of Mike Williams, you would surely be disappointed. Williams hauled in a measly six of fifteen targets for 104 yards and no touchdowns, averaging a disgusting 5.5 DKFP/GM over that span. But his lack of production has caused his price to drop $1,500 on DraftKings since week six. Williams’s upside is still there, evidenced by his 6 TD (T-7th amongst WR) and 130 PPR points (18th amongst WR). This week he finds himself in a get-right spot against a defense that has allowed the sixth-most DKFP/GM to opposing wide receivers. I’ll gladly play Williams in week 10 in both GPP and cash contests while he’s cheap.

Bring It Back With

Dalvin Cook (RB) Minnesota Vikings ($8,000)

Dalvin Cook has missed some time with an ankle injury, but thankfully he has seen an average of 21 carries and two targets per game over the last three games. Those numbers to me suggest the ankle is holding up just fine. Cooks volume in touches is precisely where it should be (although I’d take a couple more passing targets, please). Even without many passing targets or touchdowns, Cook has still averaged 16.5 DKFP/GM and has gone over 100-yards rushing in three of the six games he has appeared in. I fully expect a heavy workload this week against a Las Angeles Chargers defense that has allowed the most rushing yards/GM (130) and the eighth-most DKFP/GM (27.2) to opposing running backs.

Tight End

Dan Arnold Jacksonville Jaguars ($3,500)

Dan Arnold has found himself in the write-up a couple times this season, and why wouldn’t he? DraftKings doesn’t seem to want to raise his price. He quietly ranks in the top 16 in target share (16.3%), yards after catch (152), air yards (257), and reception yards (326) amongst tight ends this season. Furthermore, he appears to be heating up, catching 12 of 17 targets for 128 yards over the last two games. I like Arnold’s chances of putting together another solid outing this week versus an Indianapolis Colts defense that has allowed the 5th most DKFP/GM (16.4) to opposing tight ends. Arnold will be well represented in our GPP lineups for week 10.

Defense

Tennessee Titans ($2,600)

The Tennessee Titans host the New Orleans Saints this week. The Saints will start Trevor Siemian at QB and will also be without star running back Alvin Kamara. The Titan’s defense has been turning it on lately as they have 8 turnovers, 10 sacks, and two defensive TDs over their last three games. I expect the Saints to play it safe offensively given their injuries, but if the Titans can get out to an early lead and force Siemian to throw, they may find themselves having another big day. And at $2,600 on DraftKings, they don’t need to do much to pay off that price tag.

These are some of the players we will have in our GPP and cash lineups for DraftKings NFL 2021 Week 10 contests. Good luck, and may your screens always be green.
