Week 10, the final week of the UFL regular season, is upon us. This week's rankings will likely be more uncertain than in the past. Like in Week 9, the four playoff teams may have less incentive to play their starters, which means the statuses of many fantasy stars are now question marks. We will be monitoring availability reports and adjusting our rankings accordingly. However, even active players may be pulled from games early.
Quarterback UFL Fantasy Football Rankings
Rankings and analysis by Brant Henson
This week's game to target from a fantasy perspective is Arlington-DC. Both teams are playing their final game of the season with lackluster defenses and offenses that have boomed in recent weeks. Expect fireworks from our top two quarterbacks this week.
Rank | Player Name | Team |
1 | Luis Perez | Arlington Renegades |
2 | Jordan Ta'amu | DC Defenders |
3 | Nolan Henderson | Houston Roughnecks |
4 | Adrian Martinez | Birmingham Stallions |
5 | Chase Garbers | San Antonio Brahmas |
6 | Bryce Perkins | Michigan Panthers |
7 | Manny Wilkins | St. Louis Battlehawks |
8 | Josh Love | Memphis Showboats |
9 | Matt Corral | Birmingham Stallions |
10 | A.J. McCarron | St. Louis Battlehawks |
Nolan Henderson strung together a strong Week 9 outing (20.6 fantasy points) despite only completing seven passes. This week, in the season finale, Houston takes on a Memphis defense that has been very friendly to opposing quarterbacks all season long. As long as Henderson draws the start, he will be a top-tier option this week.
Adrian Martinez is no stranger to fantasy boom weeks, but now that Birmingham can no longer achieve a perfect season, it would make sense to rest the star quarterback this week. Matt Corral may find himself back on the field even if Martinez goes into the game as the starter.
The Battlehawks and Brahmas will be playing for home-field advantage this week before facing each other again next week. It is still undetermined if Manny Wilkins, who started the past two weeks, will be under center for St. Louis or if A.J. McCarron will return to the fold. Wilkins offers little fantasy value against a solid Brahmas defense, but McCarron would be a lot more intriguing.
Running Back UFL Fantasy Football Rankings

Wide Receiver UFL Fantasy Football Rankings
Rankings and analysis by Brant Henson
Quarterback status is bound to have an effect on receiver play in the final week of the regular season. While St. Louis and San Antonio may play their starters in a battle for home-field advantage, Birmingham and Michigan have less incentive to roll out their top players. Arlington, DC, Houston, and Memphis are all playing in their season finales.
Rank | Player Name | Team |
1 | Justin Hall | Houston Roughnecks |
2 | Jontre Kirklin | San Antonio Brahmas |
3 | Daewood Davis | Memphis Showboats |
4 | Keke Chism | Houston Roughnecks |
5 | Hakeem Butler | St. Louis Battlehawks |
6 | Keke Coutee | DC Defenders |
7 | Ty Scott | DC Defenders |
8 | Jahcour Pearson | St. Louis Battlehawks |
9 | Brandon Smith | DC Defenders |
10 | Vinny Papale | Memphis Showboats |
11 | Cyril Grayson | Houston Roughnecks |
12 | Marquez Stevenson | San Antonio Brahmas |
13 | Deon Cain | Birmingham Stallions |
14 | Chris Rowland | DC Defenders |
15 | Siaosi Mariner | Michigan Panthers |
16 | Justin Smith | San Antonio Brahmas |
17 | Tyler Vaughns | Arlington Renegades |
18 | Marlon Williams | Birmingham Stallions |
19 | Devin Ross | Michigan Panthers |
20 | Isaiah Winstead | Arlington Renegades |
21 | Amari Rodgers | Birmingham Stallions |

23 | Kevin Austin Jr. | Birmingham Stallions |
24 | Darrius Shepherd | St. Louis Battlehawks |
25 | Devin Gray | Michigan Panthers |
26 | Samson Nacua | Michigan Panthers |
27 | Jonathan Adams | Memphis Showboats |
28 | Trey Quinn | Michigan Panthers |
29 | Vyncint Smith | DC Defenders |
30 | Steven Mitchell Jr. | St. Louis Battlehawks |
31 | Emmanuel Butler | Houston Roughnecks |
32 | Anthony Ratliff-Williams | Houston Roughnecks |
With Luis Perez and Jordan Ta'amu locked into Week 10 starting positions, Arlington and D.C. receivers receive a boost in a game that could be a potential shootout. Both teams do not have a standout receiver, making it a little tougher to predict who may step up. The Defenders constantly draw up plays to get the ball into Keke Coutee's hands, while Brandon Smith is a bigger target that Ta'amu has leaned on throughout Kelvin Harmon's absence. Both are solid options this week.
Daewood Davis was held back by poor quarterback play in Week 9, grabbing just one catch for three yards on two targets. If Josh Love is back under center in Week 10, Davis is a lot less intriguing than he would be if Case Cookus were starting.
Expecting Justin Hall to repeat his Week 9 performance (28.9 fantasy points) is bold, but the Roughnecks' receiver has dominated target share all season long and now faces the Memphis secondary that every UFL receiver loves to face. Keke Chism, who has also had some strong showings this season, is another interesting option this week.
Hakeem Butler and Jahcour Pearson's outlooks vary depending on which quarterback St. Louis plays this week. Manny Wilkins has proven incapable of supporting the star receivers, but if McCarron returns in the pivotal match, then both receivers should see a boost.
Tight End UFL Fantasy Football Rankings
Rankings and analysis by Andrew Lennox
Sal Cannella and Jace Sternberger reclaim their positions at the top of the tight end rankings following their outstanding performances in Week 9.
Rank | Player Name | Team |
1 | Sal Cannella | Arlington Renegades |
2 | Jace Sternberger | Birmingham Stallions |
3 | Sage Surratt | Memphis Showboats |
4 | Alex Ellis | D.C. Defenders |
5 | Kaden Smith | D.C. Defenders |
6 | Alize Mack | San Antonio Brahmas |
7 | Cole Hikutini | Michigan Panthers |
8 | Briley Moore-McKinney | D.C. Defenders |
9 | JayJay Wilson | Memphis Showboats |
10 | Jake Sutherland | St. Louis Battlehawks |
Brahmas Cody Latimer is out for the season due to an undisclosed injury. He was carted off the field in Week 9 against the Stallions. The former Denver Bronco has been a mainstay in this year's tight end rankings, hauling in 36 receptions for 391 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, he won't be able to participate as the Brahmas approach Week 10 against St. Louis, eliminating him as a fantasy option.
Sage Surratt has the opportunity to bounce back on Sunday versus the Roughnecks after a rough Week 9. Surratt has been ranked as one of the top tight ends all season long, but he only hauled in one pass for four yards on two targets in a 36-21 loss to D.C. last weekend. Houston's pass defense has struggled, conceding 1722 yards through the air, ranking them fourth-worst in the league.
Jace Sternberger is back near the top of the rankings going into the weekend after a phenomenal performance despite the Stallions losing 18-9 to the Brahmas in Week 9. He grabbed seven of his nine targets for 110 yards and a touchdown. Sternberger could be a problem for the Panther's secondary this week as he ranks in the top 10 in receiving yards with 401.
Sal Cannella finds himself once again at the top of this week's rankings following an impressive outing against the league's top pass defense, St. Louis, one week ago. He has been consistently one of the top tight ends all season long. The 27-year-old is fifth in the UFL among all eligible receivers with 445 yards and leads the league in receiving touchdowns with six. Versus the Battlehawks, he hauled in five of his seven targets for 70 yards while grabbing a touchdown, and despite the Renegades being eliminated for the playoffs, Cannella will remain a huge part of quarterback Luis Perez's pass attack in Week 10.
