Week 10 Sunday DraftKings DFS Lineup: Jaxson Dart, Sam LaPorta, Jordan Addison and More
Morgan puts together a DFS lineup for the week 10 Sunday afternoon NFL games.
After an absolute dud of a Thursday night game, hopefully there's more fun fantasy football performances ahead on Sunday.
Let's put together a DFS lineup on DraftKings for the afternoon slate of NFL games. There's 10 games we can choose players from (no Atlanta, Indianapolis game, Pittsburgh, LA Chargers game or Philadelphia, Green Bay game on Monday).
We have to stay under a $50,000 budget and have nine spots to fill. Let's see what we can come up with!

QB - Jaxson Dart ($5,700)
You have to like grabbing a dual-threat quarterback in a DFS contest, especially if they are in a good matchup.
Dart has a great matchup against the Bears that he should be able to thrive in. He's averaging 17.3 fantasy points per game this season, and has 18.6 or more in every single game he's started.
The Bears' defense has been shredded most of the season, and even without a ton of offensive weapons around him, I see Dart producing a big-time fantasy score in week 10.
RB - D'Andre Swift ($6,100)
Swift is coming off an injury that forced him to miss a game, so his status needs to be watched as Sunday approaches.
His matchup against the Giants is stellar, so if Swift plays, he'll be a great DFS option - if he's out, Kyle Monangai is worth firing up instead.
Swift is averaging 16.9 fantasy points per game so far. He has scored 15.1 or more points in his past four games, and this matchup should help him hit that mark and more again.
RB - Rico Dowdle ($6,300)
Dowdle is nursing an injury as well, but he's expected to play against the Saints, which is another favorable matchup. Watch Dowdle's status closely, and maybe swap in Chuba Hubbard for Dowdle if he cannot play in week 10.
Dowdle is averaging 15.6 fantasy points per game, and that's without having more than 10 carries in a game until week 5. He is coming off a 31.1-point performance in week 9, and had two other 30-point outings earlier this year, so he's a boom candidate.
I wouldn't be worried about his injury, and his favorable matchup should ease your concerns as well.
WR - Puka Nacua ($8,700)
I originally didn't have Nacua in my lineup, but I saved just enough money to snag him. He was banged up again in week 9, but should be good to go for week 10 against the Niners, which is a pretty solid matchup.
He's been the top fantasy wideout most of the season, and is averaging 24.4 fantasy points per contest. I expect him to be the top fantasy wideout this week, so I had to get him in my lineup.
If he can deliver around his average or better, I'd like my chances with this lineup.
WR - Jordan Addison ($5,400)
Addison is my WR2, and the Vikings No. 2 option as well. He's still averaged 15.7 fantasy points per game since taking the field.
He has a great matchup against the Ravens, and ideally, Minnesota is trailing early on, so the offense passes a lot. I like Addison to go off again this week.
If he ends up outscoring Justin Jefferson, then I'll be in really good shape with this lineup.
WR - Wan'Dale Robinson ($5,300)
Robinson is a wideout I've been highlighting all week. I like his matchup against the Bears, and think he's going to post a huge fantasy score this weekend.
He's averaging 12.9 fantasy points per game, and with a cheaper salary, he was a nice addition to this lineup.
With not many playmakers left for the Giants, Robinson could post a big fantasy score on volume alone. Let's hope he and Dart connect early and often on Sunday.
TE - Dalton Kincaid ($4,300)
I was able to save a bit at tight end, even though Kincaid is averaging the second-most points among the available tight ends for this contest.
He's got a great matchup against the Dolphins and is averaging 14 fantasy points per game so far. Kincaid scored 25.1 fantasy points last week, and had 17.6 points the last time he faced the Dolphins in week 3.
Kincaid could lead the Bills in receiving, and if he does, I like my chances of him delivering a big DFS score.
FLEX - Sam LaPorta ($4,400)
I decided on a tight end for my flex spot. Part of that was because he fit the lineup with his salary, but I do like his matchup against the Commanders.
LaPorta is averaging 12.1 fantasy points per game so far. He scored 21.7 last week, so maybe he can repeat that performance.
It'd be really great if he was the top Lions' pass catcher. I had Amon-Ra St. Brown in Nacua's spot originally, so LaPorta outscoring ARSB would give this lineup a great chance at winning big.
DST - Bills DST ($3,700)
Usually I like to save at DST, but I ended up taking the highest-priced team in the Bills.
The matchup against the Dolphins is just too juicy to pass on. Buffalo's DST is averaging 6.2 fantasy points per game, and just scored five against a much better Kansas City team.
The last time these two teams met, the Bills DST scored just two fantasy points. I think the results will be much different this time, and help the DST to the top score of the week.
Final Thoughts
I really like this week's DFS lineup - it might be my favorite one yet.
There's a nice balance of great matchups and high-upside players that gives me hope for a big score.
We just have to hope everyone, especially the running backs, stay healthy, and that we find the end zone several times.
Best of luck with your week 10 DFS and fantasy football lineups!
