Well, so far this year, there’s been no quarterback who is running away with the total points or consistency leads like the other positions. So, let’s take a look at this week’s best picks at quarterback to help you win some cash for Week 10 and who to stay away from.
Tom Brady – ($7,000 DK, $8,300 FD) – Brady is not the most expensive on either site this week, but he’s very close to the top of both. Regardless, Brady is a great quarterback to pay up for this week as he travels to Washington. The Redskins are DEAD LAST in giving up fantasy points to quarterbacks so far this year. Tom has been very good when playing on the road versus a bad defense as he averages 32.03 fantasy points per game and is 100 percent consistent. He’s definitely worth paying up for.
Josh Allen – BEWARE – ($7,900 DK, $8,700 FD) – I’m not sure anyone saw last week’s terrible performance against the Jags coming. But it did. And I’m a little worried about this week as well. The Bills travel to the Jets this week. The Jets is so bad against the run (DEAD LAST), that most teams don’t need to throw the ball. They are an average defense in giving up fantasy points to the quarterbacks. So far this year, Allen is averaging only 15.20 fantasy points and is zero percent consistent in that game scenario. So, I’ll pass on Allen this week.
Don’t miss out on the price cut! It’s now only $99 for the rest of the season!

Best Value QB – Trevor Lawrence – ($5,300 DK, $6,600 FD) – As I’ve said every week recently, it’s getting harder and harder every week to find real bargains, especially at the quarterback position. Lawrence hasn’t been great this year but they are playing the Colts this week and they rank 30th in giving up fantasy points to quarterbacks. Last week, the Jets’ third-string quarterback dropped 25.48 fantasy points on the Colts on Monday night. I would hope Lawrence can do the same. He’s a great value this week.
Best Mid-Value QB – Dak Prescott – ($6,900 DK, $8,100 FD) – Dak and the Cowboys struggled last week against a tough Broncos, but this week is a little different. The Falcons come to town and their 28th ranked defense against quarterbacks will come along with them. When Dak plays at home versus a bad defense he averages 37.10 fantasy points per game and is 100 percent consistent. He’s an excellent mid-value this week.
BEWARE – QB – Jalen Hurts – ($6,500 DK, $7,700 FD) – Hurts has been very good for most of this year, but teams are starting to figure him out a little now. This week, he has a very tough matchup against the Broncos, who I mentioned earlier shut down the Cowboys last week. They are ranked third in giving up the fewest points to quarterbacks in 2021. Hurts has not done well against good defenses this year by only averaging 12.05 fantasy points and is 33 percent consistent. I’d stay away from him this week.
Overall, this week we are seeing some potentially huge values but a few people to stay away from that we normally give a full endorsement.
