Week 10 Fantasy Football RB Start/Sit Advice: Gordon, Estime, Hall, and More

Let's continue going over fantasy football start/sit decisions for Week 10 by discussing the running back position!

We have already gone over quarterbacks and tight ends in separate stories. Check back in a bit for a start/sit article on wide receivers.

Should You Start Ollie Gordon?

Let's start with the running back from Miami. He's currently being started in about 94% of fantasy leagues, so most owners are choosing to roll with Gordon.

He has a really favorable matchup coming against the Colts in Week 10. The problem for Gordon is that Malik Willis is out, meaning Kyle McCord is starting at quarterback instead. That's a downgrade for the Miami offense, which already wasn't very good.

Gordon has been heavily involved since the injury to De'Von Achane, and it's led to some solid fantasy results. He could be even more utilized while Willis is out, so I really like Gordon's outlook.

I have him ranked 13th among running backs for this week, and that makes him one to start in most fantasy leagues. The only leagues he wouldn't be starting in are ones where fantasy owners are stacked with good/great fantasy RBs.

Should You Start Audric Estime?

Estime is owned in about 76% of leagues, and he's starting in 47% of those.

He burst onto the scene for the Saints last week and led the backfield. Estime had 16 touches, going for 77 total yards and a touchdown.

He's got a chance to deliver big again in Week 10 during a very favorable fantasy matchup against the Panthers. Now it's just a matter of how the backfield shakes out this week.

I have Estime ranked 24th among RBs this week. He's a very good deep-league option and he's also a standard league streamer if you need a little RB help. The matchup could lead to a big fantasy score, even if his role decreases a bit, so add and start Estime if you need another RB, or flex starter.

Should You Start Bhayshul Tuten?

Tuten is owned in all leagues and he's starting in 95% of those right now. 

He didn't do much in a lopsided Week 9 win, when he was also dealing with an injury. After some extra time off, he should be feeling better and may be ready for a bigger workload in Week 10.

Tennessee is a slightly above-average fantasy test for him, and even if he's not a workhorse this week, Tuten should be headed toward another good fantasy showing. 

I have him ranked 12th this week, so he's one I'm starting in just about every fantasy league I can. If you aren't starting him, you are absolutely stacked with good/great fantasy RBs.

Should You Start Corey Kiner?

Kiner is owned in about 75% of leagues, and he's started in 37% of those.

We'll kick his section off by saying his fantasy outlook depends on Rhamondre Stevenson. The lead back is injured and had been expected to miss some time, but he's been practicing a bit this week, so his status for Week 10 is still worth monitoring.

If Stevenson plays, Kiner will split the backfield at best, and that wouldn't be a good thing, as Detroit is a tough matchup on fantasy backs. The only time I'd be confident starting Kiner this week is if Stevenson is out, thus leaving the backfield all to Kiner.

So be watching the status of Stevenson and react accordingly. I have whoever starts at RB for New England as the No. 26 fantasy RB for Week 10. I don't love the matchup and that makes each guy a more confident starting option in deeper leagues for this week.

Should You Start Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price?

Charbonnet is owned in all leagues now - he's starting in 84% of those right now. Price is up to 96% owned, while being 55% started.

Their Week 10 matchup against the Raiders is super favorable, so both are really good fantasy options. Throw in that a banged-up Drew Lock is starting at QB and both running backs are even better fantasy options.

Charbonnet led the backfield a week ago, but Price was involved enough too. I like the idea of starting both Seattle backs, and have Charbonnet ranked 15th and Price 23rd this week.

Charbonnet is someone to be starting in most fantasy leagues, and that might remain the case for the remainder of the season. Price has flex-level appeal in the right matchups, and this is one of those matchups, so don't be afraid to start the Seattle RB2.

Should You Start Breece Hall?

Hall is owned in all leagues and is currently starting in 84% of them.

He finally returned to the field in Week 9, and he immediately looked like the team's workhorse again. Hall's fantasy outlook is pretty solid going forward as a result.

The RB has a pretty favorable matchup in Week 10 against the Bills as well, so he's an even more appealing fantasy starting option. There aren't many leagues I'd want to sit Hall in. The only thing you have to be concerned about is the Bills running away with the game, leaving Hall with fewer touches.

I still think he could deliver a solid fantasy score even if the Jets get blown out. I have Hall ranked 17th this week, and he could even finish several spots higher than that.

Should You Start Tony Pollard?

Pollard is owned in all leagues, while starting in 75% of those.

He has a minor finger issue, but should be good to play in Week 10 against the Jaguars. That's a brutal matchup, with Jacksonville allowing only about 18 fantasy points per game to running backs.

Jacksonville could also dominate this game, lowering Pollard's fantasy outlook even more. He's been performing well of late though, so it's hard to sit him.

I have Pollard ranked 16th among RBs this week. He's not a must-start guy because of the matchup, but based on what he's done of late, I'm willing to start him again. I'm just tempering expectations a bit.
