If you’re in the daily fantasy sports (DFS) game, you need as many tools as possible to help set your lineup. Sure, there are some things you’ll disagree with, but not acknowledging stats or information is usually a mistake. FanDuel has acquired NumberFire to help on some projections for NFL players for each week to give you another tool to help.
FanDuel daily fantasy projections, Week 10: Quarterbacks
Tom Brady is projected to be the top scorer again this week. Should fantasy owners pay up to use him?

Here are the fantasy projections for Week 10:
Top tier
Tom Brady is projected to be the top scorer yet again, but this time he's not even priced as the highest guy. That distinction goes to Aaron Rodgers, who gets a great matchup against the Detroit Lions. Obviously if you're wanting to spend big it makes sense to go after Brady, especially based on what Drew Brees did to the New York Giants two weeks ago with his seven touchdowns. Speaking of Brees, he comes in as the No. 3 guy.
Bargains
Going for a bargain at QB probably isn't the best play in a cash game, but in a GPP going after Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins, who should have a a chance for a nice day against the New Orleans Saints. He's just $6,500, so you could save a ton of money and spend on backs and/or receivers. You like that? You like that!
Elite players with sub-par matchups
It's pretty crazy that Peyton Manning is just $7,700, so he's not even really an elite play anymore. Besides him, the high-end guys are all projected to do well except for maybe Carson Palmer against the Seattle Seahawks.
