Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 10)
Analyzing the highest scoring players, by position, during Week 10 of the 2024 season
Well, we have arrived, folks! The home stretch of the Fantasy Football season began on Thursday; remember, a standard Fantasy Football regular season last 15 weeks (14 in some custom leagues). Beginning with Week 11, it's a push for the playoffs, and it usually close to trade deadline time, depending on the league's settings. Week 10 was the final week before this pivotal moment of the season, and it was quite a delicious one for some fantasy owners.
With that said, here are Week 10's leading players:
QB: Joe Burrow
For the second straight week, Joe Burrow took the lead for QBs; setting the bar on Thursday Night Football. Here's how fantasy scoring works for quarterbacks: 1 point per every 25 passing yards (or 0.04 points per passing yard), and passing touchdowns are 4 points each. Interceptions are usually a 1 point deduction, and lost fumbles are a 2 point deduction. Burrow's numbers: 428 yards (17.12 points), four touchdowns (16 points), and six rushing yards (0.6 points), totalling 33.72 points overall. Burrow and his opposing QB that evening, Lamar Jackson, were the two highest scoring QBs on Fantasy for Week 10.
RB: Bijan Robinson
It was not a good day at the office for the Falcons, but at least Bijan Robinson had one hell of a performance. Fantasy scoring for running backs goes like this: 1 point per 10 rushing yards, and touchdowns are 6 points. Receiving scoring rules also apply; 1 point per 10 receiving yards, and touchdowns are 6 points, and there's also PPR (Points Per Reception). Bijan ran for 116 yards (11.6 points) and two touchdowns (12 points), and also had three receptions (3 points) for 28 yards (2.8 points). A grand total of 29.4 points, finishing 4.5 points ahead of division rival Chuba Hubbard.
Now, on to the central attraction:
WR: Ja'Marr Chase
55.4 fantasy points! 55.4 fantasy points! I don't really have to say anything more than that, other than, "Thank God that I have Ja'Marr Chase on my Fantasy team!" But yeah, 11 receptions (11 points), 264 yards (26.4 points), and three touchdowns (18 points). Something about playing against the Ravens really brings the best out of him, and he's really that good anyway! Burrow and Chase showed out big time in that game, yet the Bengals lost. Something has to change somewhere.
TE: Travis Kelce
He's back, folks! For the first time this season, Travis Kelce was the top tight end on Fantasy, earning the nod for Week 10. Scoring for tight ends is the same as for wide receivers, and regarding Kelce, 8 receptions (8 points), 64 yards (6.4 points), and a touchdown (6 points), totalling 20.4 points. A close second in the TE category was Mark Andrews with 18.8 points on that Thursday Night contest against Cincy.
K: Joshua Karty
Here's how scoring for kickers goes: extra points are 1 point, of course. Regarding field goals, those under 40 yards are worth 3 points, 40-49 yard FGs are worth 4 points, and those 50 yards or longer are worth 5 points. It's no shock that Joshua Karty took the lead for kickers, given that he scored all of the Rams' points. Five field goals: one in the 20s and two in the 30s (9 points), and two in the 50s (10 points). Nineteen fantasy points for Karty; four more than his opposing kicker that night, Jason Sanders.
DEF: Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles defense had an absolute field day with what was left of the Cowboys. Here's how scoring for team defenses goes. Regarding scoring defenses, a shutout is 10 points, giving up 1-6 points is 7 points, giving up 7-13 points is 4 points, giving up 14-20 points is 1 point, giving up 21-27 points is no points, giving up 28-34 point is a 1 point deduction, and giving up at least 35 points is a 4 point deduction. Elsewhere, sacks are 1 point, interceptions are 2 points, safeties are 2 points, fumble recoveries are 2 points, blocked kicks are 2 points, and touchdowns are 6 points. The Eagles defense gave up just six points (7 points), racked up 3 sacks (3 points), had one interception (2 points), and recovered four fumbles (8 points). A grand total of 20 fantasy points; the only team defense to reach 20 points in Week 10.
Other than Chase, I also have Kelce on Fantasy, but that's it. I have eight fantasy teams, and one of them is 9-1 while another one is 8-2. My worst team is 4-6, but even that team has a shot at a possible playoff spot. The next four or five weeks will be very, very intriguing for Fantasy owners, as the push for the playoffs in Fantasy Football begins!

The Colorado Avalanche's four-game homestand reached the halfway point, and so far, so good. The Avs are coming off a very awesome overtime win over the Nashville Predators on Veterans Day, and now, we were on TNT and still at home against the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings are on quite a good start this season, they've been straddling the first place fence for a good bit, and they've had quite a good start to this season.

Alex Eala
Tennis has always been a sport where stories of discipline, sacrifice, and quiet resilience shape champions long before trophies do. In recent years, one name has steadily gained international attention for embodying those qualities with grace and ambition: Alex Eala. Still early in her professional journey, Eala represents more than individual success. She symbolizes a shift in global tennis, where talent now rises from regions once considered outside the sport’s traditional power centers. From junior Grand Slam glory to appearances on the professional tour, Eala’s path reflects patience, planning, and belief. Her performances, including moments connected to tournaments like the Auckland Open and the ASB Classic, show a player learning to translate promise into lasting impact. Early Foundations of a Rising Star Alex Eala’s story begins with a strong foundation built on family support and access to elite training. Unlike many players who rise through local circuits alone, Eala’s development was guided by a long-term vision. That vision led her to the Rafa Nadal Academy, an environment known for shaping technically sound and mentally strong athletes. At the academy, Eala refined her baseline game, improved her court movement, and learned how to compete with intention rather than emotion. These lessons were evident in her junior career, where she achieved milestones that placed her among the most promising young players of her generation. What stood out was not only her results but her composure. Eala played with a maturity that suggested she understood tennis as a marathon, not a sprint. Junior Success and Global Recognition Eala’s junior achievements opened doors to the international tennis spotlight. Winning major junior titles placed her name alongside players who would later become tour regulars. For many fans, this was the first time they encountered Alex Eala, and it quickly became clear she was not just another short-term prospect. Her left-handed style added variety to her game, creating angles that disrupted opponents. Combined with strong court awareness, this made her matches engaging to watch and difficult to predict. Junior success, however, is only a stepping stone, and Eala approached the professional transition with measured expectations. Rather than rushing into high-pressure events, she balanced growth with experience, a strategy that often separates sustainable careers from fleeting hype. Stepping Into the Professional Arena The move from juniors to the professional circuit can be unforgiving. Higher intensity, physical demands, and mental pressure test even the most gifted athletes. For Alex Eala, this transition has been deliberate rather than dramatic. She has taken part in ITF and WTA-level events, gaining experience against seasoned players. Each match has contributed to her understanding of pace, consistency, and endurance at the professional level. Losses have been treated as lessons, and victories as confirmation of progress. Events connected to the Auckland Open and the ASB Classic are particularly meaningful in this phase. These tournaments attract a competitive field while still offering young players exposure to high-quality opposition. For Eala, participation in such events represents an opportunity to measure herself against established professionals. Auckland Open and ASB Classic: Learning on a Bigger Stage The ASB Classic, held in Auckland, is more than just a warm-up event for the tennis season. It has a reputation for blending experienced tour players with emerging talent. Competing in or around the Auckland Open environment allows players like Eala to experience elite tournament structures, media attention, and crowd energy. For a young athlete, these elements matter. They teach how to manage nerves, expectations, and recovery over consecutive matches. Even brief appearances in such tournaments contribute significantly to development. Alex Eala’s connection with events like the ASB Classic highlights her gradual integration into the professional ecosystem. Each appearance adds confidence and clarity about what needs improvement, whether it is serve consistency, shot selection, or physical conditioning. Style of Play and Competitive Identity Eala’s game is built around controlled aggression. She prefers constructing points rather than rushing winners, relying on precision and movement. Her left-handed forehand remains one of her most effective weapons, creating angles that pull opponents off the court. Equally important is her defensive awareness. Eala often turns defense into offense, a trait that reflects her disciplined training background. While power tennis dominates many modern matches, her style emphasizes balance and adaptability. As she continues to evolve, adding strength and depth to her serve and net play will likely be key areas of focus. These improvements often come with time, experience, and physical maturity. Representation and Inspiration Beyond the Court Alex Eala’s rise carries significance beyond rankings and results. She represents hope for aspiring players from underrepresented regions, proving that access to global stages is possible with commitment and support. Her journey inspires younger athletes to believe that tennis is not limited by geography. Every appearance she makes, whether in major tournaments or developmental events, reinforces the idea that talent can emerge from anywhere. This broader impact gives Eala a unique position in the sport. She is not only building her own career but also helping expand tennis’s global narrative. The Road Ahead The future for Alex Eala remains open and full of possibility. Tennis careers are shaped over years, not seasons, and her measured approach suggests a focus on longevity rather than quick success. Continued participation in international tournaments, including those linked to the Auckland Open and ASB Classic, will provide valuable benchmarks for growth. As rankings fluctuate and competition intensifies, the true test will be consistency and resilience. Based on her journey so far, Eala appears well-equipped for both. Final Thoughts Alex Eala’s story is still being written, but its early chapters reveal a player grounded in discipline, learning, and quiet confidence. From junior triumphs to professional challenges, she has approached each step with intention. In a sport where pressure can derail even the brightest prospects, Eala’s calm progression stands out. Whether competing in global events like the ASB Classic or continuing her steady rise through the tour, Alex Eala represents a future built on patience, skill, and belief. For tennis fans watching the next generation take shape, her journey is one worth following closely.
