The 2024-25 NFL season has been extremely entertaining! The fantasy landscape has already changed since the preseason due to breakout players and major injuries across the league. Bye weeks are starting to take place. This means that quarterbacks like Jordan Love and Geno Smith will be out this week. On top of that injuries have started to mount up at this point of the season. It is always a great idea to evaluate backup options so that way fantasy managers are prepared if star players miss time. Here are the fantasy football week 10 quarterback rankings.
[Ratings are subject to change due to injury reports or possible move to Injured Reserve List]
[Check out the section below for details on players already rumored to possibly miss this week and how their replacement options rank for the week]
Key:
Must Start- a player who should be in your lineup that week because of the combination of matchup and talent. They will likely finish near the top of the league in points that week and could repeat the production most weeks.
Starter- a player who makes fantasy owners comfortable starting week after week. Regardless of the matchup, this player has a high floor.
Low-End Starter- a player who should be started in most lineups but can bottom out and finish below average on a given week. A high ceiling play in two-quarterback or superflex leagues.
Streamer- a player who could be a perfect replacement for a starter for a week or two. Starting this player may not win you your lineup but they will make sure that your production out of that position will not lose you your matchup either. Also a viable option in two-quarterback or superflex leagues.
Deep League Streamer- a player who could fill a void at a position in a deeper league. Their ceiling may be close to average point production at the position but their floor is enough to get through the week. A reasonable player to have in your lineup in two-quarterback or superflex leagues.
Leave on the Bench- a player who should be avoided in all lineups that week. Many times this player could even be left on waivers.

Possible Changes that can occur before Sunday
QB2 Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson missed practice on Tuesday with a knee injury. He missed practice last week because of this injury and still played. If Lamar Jackson missed Week 10 against the Cincinnati Bengals Josh Johnson becomes the QB28 below Will Levis.
QB21 Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears
Caleb Williams twisted his ankle at the end of last week’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. It is unclear if this injury could hold him out of this week’s game. If Williams misses Week 10 against the New England Patriots Tyson Bagent becomes the QB32 below Will Levis.
QB28 Will Levis, Tennessee Titans
Will Levis has missed the past three games because of a shoulder injury. There is a chance he could return this week. If Levis misses Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers Mason Rudolph becomes the QB27 between Bryce Young and Cooper Rush.
Players that are currently not expected to play
Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
Dak Prescott is expected to miss “an extended period of time” after suffering a hamstring injury. He is expected to be placed on Injured Reserve. The Cowboys are expected to start Cooper Rush while Prescott is out. If Dallas’ season continues to spiral out of control there is a chance Trey Lance could start for the Cowboys later in the year.
