Hi Everyone! After a little bit of respite last week, we're now in the beginning of a four week-stretch with at least four teams on bye, including six in week 10. That means there's going to be a lot of competition for defenses for the next few weeks, and the time to stash for the worst week is now. Here are my top 5 stashes for week 10:
NYJ (vs NYG), 48% owned. They should get picked up a ton this week because they face Miami, but if you get them, you can use them next week too.
TB (vs ARI), 3% owned. They aren't usable this week vs SF, so it should be easy to get them to stash. I love TB's pass rush vs Kyler Murray.
IND (vs MIA), 46% owned.
CLE (vs BUF), 25% owned.
BUF (@ CLE), 44% owned. Both sides are usable in this game - there's risk playing Buffalo, but they're a pretty good defense, and Baker is the most interception-prone QB in the league.
This week, because of the byes, I have a third tier of starters, which is traditionally "teams I wouldn't want to start, but you might not be able to get anyone better this week." Nobody is super low-owned, but you can get Dallas in 2/3 of leagues. If you want to see my rankings for every team and more in-depth discussion, check out my article on Fantasypros.
