Fantasy football sleepers are players who are expected to outperform their preseason expectations and provide excellent value for fantasy team owners. Week 10 of the NFL season is always full of surprises, and it’s important to move with the tide of the season, but with only a few weeks in the books, it’s equally important not to overreact.
So, while starting 3-6 or 4-5 is always a disappointment, you don’t want to tear down the house just because one player underperformed.

Week 10 Fantasy Football Sleepers: Wide Receivers
Tank Dell, Texans (vs. DET, 27)
Nico Collins may be back this week, but whether or not that’s true, Dell is a solid play against a Lions defense that has yielded an average of 17.1 catches for 209 yards and 0.63 touchdowns to enemy receivers this season. Dell may be rounding into form after a bad injury that ended his 2023 campaign. He had 4-35-1 in Week 8 before posting 6-126 in a tough matchup against the Jets.
Jameson Williams, Lions (@ HOU, 28)

Week 10 Fantasy Football Sleepers: Tight Ends
Mark Andrews, Ravens (vs. CIN, 25)
Andrews caught four touchdowns from Week 6 to Week 8 before a quiet game last week against the Broncos. The Bengals have given up sizable games to Brock Bowers (5-45-1), Grant Calcatera (3-58), and David Njoku (10-76-1) just in the last three games. Isaiah Likely is out for this game so Andrews should see his route participation spike. Fantasy points should follow.
Mike Gesicki, Bengals (@ BAL, 17)
If Tee Higgins remains out, start Gesicki. He was a Sneaky Start last week and had one of his best games of his career, catching 5-of-6 targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns, basically winning two games for yours truly last week. In his last three games without Higgins, he has posted 91, 73, and 100 yards receiving. The Ravens are a known pass-funnel.
