- Answering 5 Key RB Battles
It must be nice rostering a bell cow RB on your fantasy team.
A guy like Kenneth Walker, who touches the ball 20+ times a game. A guy like Chuba Hubbard who has scored seven TDs through nine weeks. A guy like Jahmyr Gibbs who has a "bad week" with a 14.80-point finish.
Must. Be. Nice.
Some of us have bigger fish to fry in Week 10. Because what the hell are we supposed to do with these messy backfields?
1. MIN | Mason & Jones
Jordan Mason: FL Consensus RB30
Aaron Jones: FL Consensus RB34
The boys are back in town! "The boys" being Kirk Cousins. And it seems like everyone is hopeful that Cousins can elevate a MIN offense that was averaging less than 1 passing TD under Kyler Murray. A rising tide lifts all boats, as they say … Except for Aaron Jones.
In Laghezza’s game-by-game breakdown, despite their near-identical consensus rankings, he's starting Jordan Mason and sitting Jones in Week 10.
2. SEA | Price & Charbonnet
Zach Charbonnet: FL Consensus RB18
Jadarian Price: FL Consensus RB26
If Seattle has shown us anything last season, it's that, if given the chance, they won't allow just one RB to shine. To the detriment of Kenneth Walker in SEA, we watched as Charbonnet carved out his own path. In 2026, it's no different.
But there is reason to be excited in Week 10. Not only is Charbonnet facing a Raiders defense allowing over 5 YPC to RBs, but he also saw a substantial increase in carries across his two weeks back in action—a trend not yet happening for Price in his return.
3. GB | Anyone But Josh Jacobs
I'm not starting them. Any of them. I'm just not. Neither is Berry.
4. CLE | Judkins & Sampson
Quinshon Judkins: FL Consensus RB24
Dylan Sampson: FL Consensus RB32
Yesterday, I addressed the elephant in the room. Judkins has made Matthew Berry's Hate List this week for a reason.
But … keep an eye on Sampson's usage in the passing game. He's starting to see an increase in targets over the last two weeks and might soon find himself in an increased role. We're sitting Judkins, but Sampson could be a sleeper in Week 10.
