XFL Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 10: QB, RB, WR, TE Rankings and Analysis (2023)

Week 10 XFL fantasy football rankings at QB, RB, WR, TE for 2023. The top fantasy XFL players at each position (QB, RB, WR, TE) for XFL fantasy leagues and DFS lineups.

The first nine weeks of the XFL season have not disappointed, and there's only one full slate of games remaining for DFS and fantasy gamers alike! The DC Defenders have officially clinched home-field advantage for the North Division Championship game. The Houston Roughnecks clinched home field in the South, so we'll have to monitor how the teams adjust their starting lineups and game plans. Beyond that, the final week of the regular season in any league can always be unpredictable, so it could be an opportune time to succeed in DFS tournaments.

We're back with our Week 10 XFL rankings for fantasy football, diving into QBs, RBs, WRs, and TEs! The four-team XFL playoff is over a week away, so it's time to lock in and set our best DFS lineups to date. These positional XFL rankings are a team effort, combining the rankings and analysis of three rankers:

Again, it's the last slate of DFS football until preseason NFL action in August, so let's get it RotoBallers!

Quarterback XFL Fantasy Football Rankings

Rankings and analysis by Jackson Sparks

Rank Player Name Team
1 Ben DiNucci Seattle Sea Dragons
2 AJ McCarron St. Louis Battlehawks
3 Jordan Ta'amu/D'Eriq King DC Defenders
4 Luis Perez Arlington Rengades
5 Jalan McClendon Vegas Vipers
6 Quinten Dormady/Deondre Francois Orlando Guardians
7 Jack Coan San Antonio Brahmas
8 Brandon Silvers/Cole McDonald Houston Roughnecks

Ben DiNucci continues to provide consistent fantasy production weekly. He leads the XFL with 2,332 passing yards and ranks second with 17 passing touchdowns. He's a "set 'em and forget 'em" fantasy QB play.

AJ McCarron leads the XFL with 18 touchdown passes (six INTs), and he's second in the league in passing yards (1,730) and completion percentage (67.3%, minimum 20 attempts). He is the best pure passer in the league, so he'll continue to occupy a spot at the top of the rankings.

Jordan Ta'amu's Defenders have been the best team in the XFL at 8-1 and have clinched home-field advantage in the playoffs. The Defenders could opt to rest Ta'amu, meaning D'Eriq King would have real value as a dual-threat QB play.

Luis Perez looks to have finally settled in with his new squad in Arlington. He posted 335 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the narrow loss to the Defenders in Week 9. He's a sneaky overall QB1 play against the Roughnecks in the season's final week.

Quinten Dormady had two awesome fantasy performances in Weeks 7 and 8, but his Week 9 game against the Brahmas was disastrous. Dormady posted just 57 total yards with one touchdown and one interception. Given Orlando is already eliminated from playoff contention, Deandre Francois could be the team's starter for the season finale.

Brandon Silvers could be out of action since the Roughnecks clinched home-field advantage in the South Division. Either way, the QB play in Houston has been spiraling, and Silvers or Cole McDonald don't project as great Week 10 plays.

 

Running Back XFL Fantasy Football Rankings

Rankings and analysis by Andrew Lennox

Rank Player Name Team
1 Abram Smith DC Defenders
2 Jacques Patrick San Antonio Brahmas
3 DeVeon Smith Arlington Renegades
4 Brian Hill St. Louis Battlehawks
5 Devin Darrington Orlando Guardians
6 Max Borghi Houston Roughnecks
7 John Lovett Vegas Vipers
8 Brycen Alleyne Houston Roughnecks
9 Rod Smith Vegas Vipers
10 T.J Hammonds Seattle Sea Dragons
11 Leddy Brown Arlington Renegades
12 Phillip Lindsay Seattle Sea Dragons
13 Ryquell Armstead DC Defenders
14 Brian Burt Vegas Vipers
15 Jon Hilliman San Antonio Brahmas

DC has already clinched a home playoff spot in the North Division Championship with an impressive 8-1 record. This gives them the luxury of potentially resting their key players, including league-leading rusher Abram Smith, in Week 10. With their postseason position secured, DC can afford to be cautious with their star players and give them some rest before the playoffs.

Jacques Patrick had another solid outing in Week 9, scoring a touchdown and rushing for 80 yards on 20 carries in a tight 25-23 win over Orlando. Patrick has been on the rise in recent weeks and is expected to play a significant role in Week 10 as the Brahmas fight for their playoff hopes after a challenging season.

Phillip Lindsay has not had a breakout game, rushing for only 17 yards on 10 carries against St. Louis. However, Seattle is in a must-win situation, and T.J. Hammonds may see more touches after his impressive performance of rushing for 59 yards on seven carries.

Brian Hill and the St. Louis Battlehawks had a chance to clinch a playoff spot at home, but Seattle crushed their plans by winning 30-12. Hill has struggled in the past two weeks, and the Battlehawks will need him to have a big outing if they want to make the playoffs.

Max Borgi and Brycen Alleyne continue to move up the weekly rankings after their impressive performances in Week 9. They stepped up as Houston's quarterback, Brandon Silvers, had a tough time passing the ball. Borghi rushed for 74 yards on 10 carries and scored a touchdown, while Alleyne rushed for a touchdown and gained 42 yards on the ground.

By defeating Vegas 28-21, they secured home-field advantage for the South Division Championship. With a playoff spot already clinched and a pass-heavy offense, the Roughnecks may rest Borghi and Alleyne and give them fewer carries in the regular season finale.

After falling off the map earlier in the season, Orlando's Devin Darrington recovered with a massive game in Week 9 against San Antonio, rushing for 133 yards on 16 carries. Despite being eliminated from playoff contention, we could still see more of the same from the talented tailback in the season finale. Without the pressure to make the playoffs, Darrington and the Guardians can play with more freedom and creativity on the field.

 

Wide Receiver XFL Fantasy Football Rankings

Rankings and analysis by Brant Henson

Rank Player Name Team
1 Darrius Shepherd St. Louis Battlehawks
2 Jahcour Pearson Seattle Sea Dragons

30 Brandon Arconado Arlington Renegades
31 KD. Cannon Orlando Guardians
32 Caleb Vander Esch Arlington Renegades
33 Justin Smith Houston Roughnecks
34 Martavis Bryant Vegas Vipers
35 Travis Toivonen San Antonio Brahmas
36 TJ Vasher San Antonio Brahmas
37 JaVonta Payton Arlington Renegades
38 Andrew Jamiel Orlando Guardians
39 Fred Brown San Antonio Brahmas
40 Lujuan Winningham Arlington Renegades
41 Rannell Hall Arlington Renegades

St. Louis, Seattle, San Antonio, and Arlington are all in must-win territory. With St. Louis playing against the league's softest defense this week, even with A.J. McCarron's shoulder not fully healed, the Battlehawks receivers are all great targets this week. Darrius Shepherd is the safest play, while Marcell Ateman has been on another level since returning from injury (7-99 on 11 targets last week). Hakeem Butler will look to bounce back from a donut in the box score a week ago.

Be very, very careful when playing DC Defenders and Houston Roughnecks receivers this week. Both teams are already locked into a home-field advantage for the playoffs and could easily rest their starters. Former Iowa receiver Brandon Smith is an intriguing play, as he has flashed since joining the DC roster midseason. He may get more targets his way if Lucky Jackson and Chris Blair rest.

Orlando WR/TE Cody Latimer sat out last week for undisclosed reasons, and his status should be closely monitored before inserting him into lineups. If he misses the game again, look for Eli Rogers to be a sneaky play.

Nick Holley exploded for 105 yards in his San Antonio debut, but do not expect an encore. The Brahmas' preferred option in the passing game is ever-changing, the DC second-team secondary is probably tougher than the Orlando first-team secondary, and Holley only had a 12% target share.

St. Louis has been finding creative ways to get the ball into explosive receiver Gary Jennings' hands, and he could break off some chunk plays against Orlando this week. He's a sneaky dart throw.

Per usual, the Sea Dragons' passing attack continues to soar and remains healthy. After curb-stomping St. Louis a week ago, the Sea Dragons remain in the must-win territory. Jahcour Pearson, Josh Gordon, Juwan Green, and Blake Jackson should all have opportunities to make big plays.

 

Tight End XFL Fantasy Football Rankings

Rankings and analysis by Jackson Sparks

Rank Player Name Team
1 Sal Canella Arlington Renegades
2 Alize Mack San Antonio Brahmas
3 Jake Sutherland St. Louis Battlehawks
4 Garrett Owens Houston Roughnecks
5 Logan Carter Orlando Guardians
6 Ethan Wolf DC Defenders
7 Deon Yelder San Antonio Brahmas
8 Brandon Dillon Vegas Vipers
9 Alex Ellis DC Defenders
10 Ryan Becker Orlando Guardians
11 Nate Becker Arlington Renegades

Sal Canella saw his best game of the season in Week 9, posting seven receptions for 92 yards on 10 targets. We hoped Luis Perez would provide Canella with a QB upgrade when he was traded from Vegas, and that might finally be coming to fruition. Unfortunately, we'll only see it for one more week as the season is set to end, but Canella stays atop the rankings in this spot.

Garrett Owens saw a season-high five targets against the Vipers, hauling in four of them for 23 yards. Given how scarce tight end production has been this season, it was one of the better tight end fantasy days of the 2023 XFL campaign. That said, he'll catapult up the rankings as a viable TE starter.

Alize Mack has just 25 receptions for 201 yards on the season, but that's good enough to make him the second-most productive TE in this year's XFL season.

Ethan Wolf and Alex Ellis seem to have equal opportunities for targets in the DC offense, but Wolf has a stronger production profile from early on in the season.
