Each week, we offer up the very best of the NFL<\/a> on a given Sunday, kind of like the fantasy football team you wished you had.<\/p>\n

All year, we\u2019ve picked one quarterback, two running backs, two receivers and a tight end \u2013 OK, this is sounding a lot like a super-hindsight fantasy football team \u2013 but now we\u2019re expanding! We\u2019re recognizing an entire offensive line, a few select defensive stars and even a special-teams standout of the week. It\u2019s more work, but you\u2019re worth it.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s dive into Week 10.<\/p>\n

QB Matthew Stafford<\/a>, Rams<\/a><\/p>\n

Stafford had this spot last week until Sam Darnold<\/a> delivered a perfect half to open the Seahawks<\/a>\u2019 Sunday night win over the Commanders<\/a>, but nobody\u2019s taking this week away from Stafford, with four touchdown passes in the Rams\u2019 division win over San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Stafford is on a bit of a heater. In wins over the 49ers, Saints<\/a> and Jaguars<\/a>, he has 14 touchdowns and zero interceptions. For the season, he has 25 touchdowns to just two picks, and he\u2019s the odds-on favorite for league MVP, as well.<\/p>\n

RB Jonathan Taylor<\/a>, Colts<\/a><\/p>\n

We could keep Taylor\u2019s name in the template for this weekly file, just to save a little time.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a no-brainer this week \u2013 244 rushing yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winner in overtime and another 42 receiving yards. Just a monster game \u2013 32 carries is the most for any NFL player since \u2026 Taylor in Week 18 last year.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s on course for nearly 2,000 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns. Are we ready to give a non-quarterback the MVP again?<\/p>\n

RB De\u2019Von Achane, Dolphins<\/a><\/p>\n

Another huge game, this coming in an upset of the Bills<\/a>, no less. Achane rushed for 174 yards and two touchdowns and added 51 receiving yards, as well.<\/p>\n

Achane is fourth in the NFL with 780 rushing yards while averaging 5.5 per carry. Miami has somehow won two of three and its next three are the Commanders, Saints and Jets<\/a>, which is not great if you\u2019re pulling for draft position.<\/p>\n

Props to Patriots<\/a> rookie TreVeyon Henderson<\/a>, who had a week that usually gets you this spot.<\/p>\n

WR Chris Olave<\/a>, Saints<\/p>\n

New Orleans is another team we really didn\u2019t expect to make an appearance here.<\/p>\n

It was a down week for receivers, but Olave had a 62-yard touchdown from rookie Tyler Shough<\/a> in a road win over the Panthers<\/a>. He finished with 104 yards in his first game since New Orleans traded Rashid Shaheed<\/a> to Seattle.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s precious little else at receiver for the Saints, but if Olave can still get open like he did Sunday, they too can get a few more wins that will spoil their draft position.<\/p>\n

WR Jameson Williams<\/a>, Lions<\/p>\n

Detroit\u2019s offense continues to perform at astounding levels, and Williams deserves a spot here with six catches for 119 yards and a touchdown. Few NFL players can casually drop 20 yards a catch, but he came in averaging 16.9, and this year\u2019s right in line with last year\u2019s 17.3, which is really hard to pull off with the volume of targets he gets.<\/p>\n

If Stafford doesn\u2019t have the week he had, Jared Goff<\/a> probably makes this list as the quarterback.<\/p>\n

TE Trey McBride<\/a>, Cardinals<\/a><\/p>\n

For a moment, it looked like we might have two Saints in here with Juwan Johnson<\/a> going for 92 yards and a score in their win. McBride kept catching passes in Arizona\u2019s lopsided loss to Seattle, though, so we had to switch over to him. He finished with 127 yards and a touchdown, continuing his role as the No. 1 passing target regardless of who\u2019s at quarterback for the Cardinals.<\/p>\n

OL: Detroit Lions<\/a><\/p>\n

It was tempting to give this first nod to the Colts, who rushed for 323 yards, but they also gave up seven sacks, so no. The Lions, however, were near-perfect as a line \u2013 226 rushing yards, 546 yards of total offense, and not only zero sacks but zero tackles for loss, in 68 offensive plays.<\/p>\n

DL DeMarcus Lawrence, Seahawks<\/p>\n

Two defensive touchdowns! We\u2019re setting the bar high in the first week of expanding to include defense here.<\/p>\n

Lawrence returned two fumbles \u2014 for 34 and 22 yards, respectively \u2014 for touchdowns in the first half as Seattle pulled away to an easy win over Arizona. That\u2019s as many touchdowns in one half as he\u2019d totaled in his 154-game NFL career, including playoffs. Yeah, that\u2019ll make the cut.<\/p>\n

DL Will McDonald, Jets<\/p>\n

Four sacks in a Jets win? What in the name of Mark Gastineau?<\/p>\n

McDonald had three sacks all season before getting to Cleveland rookie Dillon Gabriel<\/a> four times in Sunday\u2019s win. For perspective, he took away 32 yards from Cleveland\u2019s passing total, and Jets quarterback Justin Fields<\/a> added a net 42 passing yards for the entire game.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d be remiss to not mention Houston\u2019s Danielle Hunter<\/a>, who had 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble in the Texans<\/a>\u2019 wild comeback win over the Jaguars.<\/p>\n

LB Tyrice Knight<\/a>, Seahawks<\/p>\n

Both fumbles that Lawrence returned for touchdowns were forced by Knight on sacks of Jacoby Brissett<\/a>. The second-year linebacker didn\u2019t have a sack this year before today and hadn\u2019t forced a fumble in his NFL career.<\/p>\n

Seattle\u2019s defense will start getting more attention, and Knight is an emerging playmaker in the middle of that unit.<\/p>\n

Secondary: Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Bears<\/a><\/p>\n

CJGJ! He\u2019s on his third team of 2025, bouncing from the Texans to (briefly) the Ravens<\/a> to now the Bears, but he stepped up huge Sunday, registering nine tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in their win over the Giants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gardner-Johnson also had a sack among six tackles in the Bears\u2019 win over the Bengals<\/a> last week, so maybe he\u2019s found himself a new home in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Special Teams: Kene Nwangwu<\/a>, Jets<\/p>\n

Sunday featured three touchdowns on returns! Shoutout to the Jaguars\u2019 Parker Washington<\/a> and the Jets\u2019 Isaiah Williams<\/a>, who had punt return scores Sunday, but we\u2019ll give this week\u2019s nod to Nwangwu, who had a 99-yard kickoff return to spark the Jets\u2019 win against the Browns<\/a>. It\u2019s the fifth career kickoff-return touchdown for Nwangwu. No other active player has more than two!<\/p>\n
