Fantasy football brain games: Give Daniel Jones a go, bench Tank Bigsby in Week 10

New York Times  

With only a month or so before the fantasy playoffs begin, every decision takes on additional importance. GO DEEPER Fantasy football rankings Week 10: Sleepers, projections, starts, Daniel Jones, Jauan Jennings In Week 9, three Jacksonville running backs combined for fewer than seven fantasy points on 17 total touches. A Week 10 matchup against the Colts should allow for a good game script for Bills’ backs, but I’m not sure I can trust Davis with his current usage rate. So, the question is, what will McConkey’s role be this week in an offense that has so far only been able to support one awesome wide receiver performance per week? Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams had a lot of success against the Texans’ pass defense in Week 9’s Thursday Night Football game, so there is a recent precedent for them to support more than one fantasy wide receiver.
