Fantasy football rankings for Week 10: Bills' Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs rise to the top
With four of the top NFL teams about to enjoy their in-season week off, fantasy managers will be leaning even harder on players such as Bills QB Josh Allen and WR Stefon Diggs, who are tops at their positions this week.
ON BYE: Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams
Fantasy football rankings for Week 10 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.

Rookie C.J. Stroud is coming off his best game as a pro last week (470 yards, 5 TDs).
The Cardinals officially added Kyler Murray to the roster on Tuesday. He's expected to make his season debut vs. the Falcons.
Sleeper pick: Geno Smith faces a Washington pass defense that's allowing an NFL-high 20.2 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.

Fantasy football Week 10 running back rankings
The Cardinals have activated James Conner (knee) from injured reserve and he is expected to play.
David Montgomery (ribs) hasn't played since Week 6, but he's been a full participant in practice this week. However, rookie Jahmyr Gibbs just ran for a career-high 152 yards and a touchdown in the lead back role in Week 9.
Saquon Barkley (ankle) does not have an injury designation this week. He also doesn't have Daniel Jones (IR-knee) under center as rookie Tommy DeVito will start vs. Dallas.
Sleeper pick: While the Allen-Diggs combo gets much of the attention, Buffalo's James Cook could flourish against a Broncos defense that gives up a league-high 33.6 fantasy points per game to running backs.

Fantasy football Week 10 wide receiver rankings
Ja'Marr Chase (back) has been limited in practice all week, but is active and expected to play vs. the Texans.
Sleeper pick: With the injury to Chase and with Tee Higgins (hamstring) already ruled out, Tyler Boyd could play a larger-than-usual role in the Bengals' passing offense.
Tank Dell is coming off a huge game (6 catches, 114 yards, 2 TDs) and is an excellent start at Cincinnati with teammate Nico Collins (calf) out.
Drake London (groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday.
1 | Stefon Diggs | Buf. | vs. Den. |

Fantasy football Week 10 tight end rankings
T.J. Hockenson (ribs) is expected to play vs. the Saints, but will likely be on a limited snap count.
Jonnu Smith was the TE4 last week with 5 catches for 100 yards and a TD. He's the No. 9 TE on the season in fantasy points.
Sleeper pick: The Colts give up the fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends, making Hunter Henry a sneaky fill-in if you have Travis Kelce or Dallas Goedert on bye.
