Getting Defensive: Week 10 fantasy plays led by Jaguars, Seahawks; top streaming defenses
Gary Davenport breaks down the fantasy football defense landscape headed into Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season.
Week 10 saw fantasy managers flock to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Seattle Seahawks, two of the top defenses in the league. The Jaguars are leading the AFC South defensively, allowing fewer points per game than any other team in the NFL. They are also leading the AFC in takeaways and are one of only four defenses averaging double-digit fantasy points per game.
Injuries and a new defense have led the Jaguars to make significant moves, drafting veteran safety Jessie Bates III and defensive tackle Jordan Davis, trading away their first-round pick in the process.
In Week 10, the Jaguars will face the Tennessee Titans, a team struggling both offensively and defensively. The Titans give up 18 points per game, the fifth-fewest in the league, and have allowed only four touchdowns in their last six games. The Jaguars' defense is primed to capitalize on these deficiencies. Meanwhile, Seattle's defense leads the NFL, ranking second against the pass and third against the run. With the Raiders' offense struggling, the Seahawks are a strong contender in Week 10.
Other notable fantasy plays include Corey Kiner and Tank Dell for the Patriots and Texans, respectively. Kiner may have started for the Patriots, while the Texans' defense is appealing due to Houston's strong pass rush. The Giants face the Commanders, with Myles Garrett back in the lineup for the Rams, who have also lost several wide receivers. The Packers have a solid defense, despite lacking Micah Parsons, while the Steelers are a strong pick against a Bengals team that struggles running the ball.
