Justin Boone Flags Tyler Shough, Ollie Gordon for Week 10 Starts as 49.5-Point Saints-Panthers Looms

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Nov 13

Summary

  • Tyler Shough, Ollie Gordon II, Tetairoa McMillan and Tyler Warren headline Boone’s Week 10 start calls, with Shough pushed into his top 10 at quarterback.
  • A 49.5-point Saints-Panthers total drives much of the advice: Boone cites fast pace, Carolina injuries and a healthier New Orleans offense, while also backing Bryce Young and McMillan in the same matchup.
  • Gordon gets a favorable setup against an Indianapolis defense allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs, while Warren benefits from a Colts pass-catching corps thinned by the departures of Josh Downs and Keenan Allen.
  • On the sit side, Boone warns against Kirk Cousins in his first start since a trade, plus Quinshon Judkins, DK Metcalf and Brenton Strange because of tough matchups, shrinking roles or likely low volume.
  • The column frames Week 10 as a matchup-driven slate, steering managers toward projected volume and defensive weaknesses rather than season-long name value.
