NFL Week 10 Fantasy Rankings Shake Up: Key Flex Stars and Matchups to Watch
Fantasy football managers, it’s that time again — Week 10 is here, and the rankings are in. Justin Boone, the award-winning fantasy analyst now at Yahoo Sports, has dropped his full PPR (points per reception) rankings, giving fans and fantasy players a clear look at who’s hot and who’s not going into this week’s NFL action. Boone, who’s known for his data-driven accuracy, updates his rankings multiple times through the week — first on Thursday and then again Sunday morning, just before kickoff.
Now, diving into the details — this week’s focus is all about the best FLEX options , those versatile players you can plug into running back, wide receiver, or tight end slots. Boone’s insight, along with analysis from other Yahoo Fantasy experts, paints a pretty dynamic picture of how Week 10 might unfold.

Let’s talk about the matchups that could define your fantasy lineups. The Patriots vs. Buccaneers game is shaping up to be a pass-heavy showdown. Tampa Bay’s defense has practically forced teams into throwing, with opponents passing on over 60% of plays. That’s bad news for New England’s running game — which has struggled for yards before contact — but great news for quarterback Drake Maye and his receivers. With Kayshon Boutte sidelined by a hamstring injury, expect names like Kyle Williams and Demario Douglas to get more targets. Tight end Hunter Henry might even sneak into deep-league conversations if you’re really searching for upside.
Then there’s Falcons vs. Colts , another game worth circling. The Colts’ defense has become a “pass funnel,” meaning teams are throwing a lot more against them. The Falcons, usually a run-first team, may have to change their old-school approach if they fall behind early. That could make Bijan Robinson even more valuable in the passing game, while Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts could finally see more consistent opportunities through the air. Pitts, in particular, has been earning more targets lately — and the Colts’ defense has struggled to contain tight ends all season.
Over in Miami vs. Buffalo , things swing the other way — both defenses are run funnels. The Bills’ injury-depleted defensive front has opened the door for big rushing performances, and Miami will almost certainly look to exploit that with De’Von Achane and Ollie Gordon. If game flow stays close, this could be a ground-control battle rather than a high-flying passing contest.
And finally, Panthers vs. Saints looks like another run-first slugfest. The Saints’ defense has been giving up big plays on the ground, while Carolina has been leaning almost exclusively on its rushing attack. Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard could both have value here, especially if the Panthers manage to control the tempo early.
So, Week 10 fantasy football is all about identifying the right matchups — and that’s exactly where these rankings shine. Whether you’re setting your FLEX spot or streaming players for a last-minute edge, the latest PPR insights from Boone and company might just be what keeps your playoff hopes alive this week.
