Sleepers at Quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa, Miami (at LA Rams)
Tagovailoa hasn't had a big fantasy outburst yet this year, but that should change in Week 10. The Rams offense is clicking and should be able to move the ball somewhat easily against a vulnerable Dolphins pass defense. Miami loves to run, but the game script may not allow them that luxury. Tagovailoa is going to have to air it out in a potential shootout against Matthew Stafford, and now he has Jonnu Smith and a fully unleashed De'Von Achane in the passing game to complement Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Daniel Jones, NY Giants (vs Carolina - Germany)
Jones is coming off a game when he accounted for three touchdowns, and he faced a tougher defense than the Panthers, which is who he'll face in Week 10. Jones added value as a runner - including a touchdown, and while he might not have Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt can replace Slayton adequately in the deep passing game. Only two passing games have failed to post at least two scores against the Panthers, and one was Derek Carr last week when he lost Chris Olave early in the game.
Russell Wilson, Pittsburgh (at Washington)
The Steelers have played one of the weakest schedules in the NFL in the first half of the season. They will play one of the most difficult in the second half, beginning with Washington in Week 10. That should force them out of their shell as a run-first offense and put more on the shoulders of Wilson, who has already had a strong QB1 game this year in one of his two starts. The Steelers added Mike Williams at the trade deadline, who just gives Wilson another downfield target in a game that will force him to trade punches with Jayden Daniels.
Aaron Rodgers, NY Jets (at Arizona)
Rodgers got on the same page with Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams in Week 9, which is a good sign that the trio is the core of the game plan against the Cardinals. The Cardinals pass defense flustered an inconsistent Caleb Williams last week, but Justin Herbert threw for 349 against them in Week 7, and Jordan Love threw for four scores against them in Week 6, so there are flaws to exploit.
