Fantasy football 2023 Week 10 sleepers: Navigating the rocky QB stream
I'm starting to feel like a broken record, but injuries are going to be the death of fantasy managers. The quarterback position is going to feel particularly thin this week.

The most recent one was a two-touchdown performance by Tampa Bay's Cade Otton. If you're streaming Smith, you'll certainly take a pair of touchdowns. But even just one would be good enough.
