DSTs
Ravens DST
The Baltimore DST is rostered in about 34% of fantasy leagues right now. That should rise a bunch before Week 10, when Baltimore faces the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Chargers' offense has struggled most of the season, so that's the biggest reason why Baltimore's DST is a good option for Week 10. They are risky after three straight poor showings though.
The Ravens have allowed 30 or more points while giving up between 319-426 total yards. They faced three very good offenses in that stretch though, and the Chargers are not nearly as tough a test.
Baltimore can rack up some takeaways and big plays and deliver, so definitely consider them for Week 10 if you need a DST.
Colts DST and Dolphins DST
The Colts and Dolphins DSTs are each solid options this week, and we'll combine them as these teams square off. Both DSTs are rostered in fewer than 5% of leagues, so they are widely available.
Both offenses are bottom-10 in points per game so far this season, while being bottom-six in total yards per game. This game could end up being an offensive struggle, so both DSTs could shine.
It's tough to put a lot of trust in these defenses, since they are just not good teams, but the chance is there for both DSTs to come through and deliver notable fantasy scores.
I'd probably feel much more confident trying either DST in a deeper league, but depending on your other options, one of these DSTs could be a standard league streaming option as well.
Bills DST
The Bills DST is rostered in about 40% of leagues right now, but should rise before a Week 10 matchup with the Jets.
New York has averaged the eighth-fewest points per game so far, and this game sets up very well for Buffalo, so big plays for the defense could happen often.
Buffalo's defense hasn't been stout, but the DST has been a very good fantasy asset the past two weeks, so they are trending up. I'd be very happy to be starting the Bills DST in Week 10.
Kickers
Evan McPherson - Cincinnati Bengals
McPherson is rostered in about 44% of fantasy leagues right now.
He's made all 12 of his field goals on the season, plus has racked up 28 extra points already. Being the kicker for a great offense makes McPherson a pretty good fantasy option, so I'm surprised he's available in as many leagues as he is. He had a few single-digit fantasy outings in a row before Week 9 though, so that makes some sense.
His matchup against the Steelers is a chance for McPherson to maybe get a couple more field goal attempts. He had two field goals and three extra points in the team's first meeting back in Week 3.
I'd be happy to add and start McPherson going into Week 10 as a result.
Andre Szmyt - Cleveland Browns
Szmyt is sitting at just 5% rostered, so nearly all of you could add him if you wanted.
He has made 90.5% of his field goals this season, but has just 12 extra point makes. Szmyt gets a bunch of field goal attempts as the Cleveland offense has been good enough to move the ball, but not great so field goal chances pop up for Szmyt.
The Browns take on the Texans this week. It's a game I expect the Texans to win, but I think Cleveland can keep it close and give Szmyt several scoring chances.
That makes the Cleveland kicker a pretty good Week 10 fantasy option, so consider streaming him.
Chris Boswell - Pittsburgh Steelers
Boswell is rostered in about 39% of leagues after the team's bye in Week 9.
He's just 78.3% on his field goals this season, while also making 16 extra points. Boswell still has racked up the fantasy points, as he's made 18 field goals.
He has a chance to score a bunch of fantasy points again in Week 10 when the Steelers face the Bengals. Boswell made three field goals and three extra points in the team's first meeting back in Week 3.
He could be in for a similar outing this week, and after his bye, he's more available than he usually is, so take advantage and grab a pretty solid fantasy kicker not only for Week 10, but for maybe the remainder of the season.
