3 Fantasy Football Quarterback Streaming Options for Week 10

Nick Mullens, San Francisco 49ers

Yahoo Ownership: 3%

For all the obvious reasons, it's risky to roll with Nick Mullens this week. Heck, he hasn't even officially been named the starter, although he's expected to get the nod. But among passers owned in fewer than 30% of leagues, he's right up there with the week's top streaming options.

Yes, Mullens has just one career start. And, yes, it came against a listless Oakland Raiders defense. But this week's matchup with the New York Giants is pretty nice, too, as our schedule-adjusted metrics rank the Giants as the 10th-worst pass defense.

Mullens completed 16 of 22 passes for 262 yards and 3 scores in last week's debut, and he finished as Week 9's QB8, totaling 22.18 fantasy points. Our models project him for 16.6 fantasy points this week, making him our QB24.

If Ryan Fitzpatrick, Alex Smith or Baker Mayfield (more on him in a second) are available in your league, they are much safer plays. But all three of those guys are ineligible to be the top streaming pick because they are over our ownership threshold.
