Pittsburgh running back Najee Harris came back from the Steelers‘ bye in Week 7 to lead all running backs in snaps with 62. Only Baltimore and Las Vegas had byes in Week 8, but Devonta Freeman was on the field for 57 Ravens snaps last week, which was the third-most for all running backs. Harris finished as the seventh-best Fantasy running back in Week 8, while Freeman was eighth-best in Week 9. Could Detroit’s D’Andre Swift follow suit to lead your Week 10 NFL DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings or FanDuel?
Swift has the sixth-most snaps among all NFL running backs this season and is coming out of a Week 9 bye. Should he be in included in your NFL DFS strategy and NFL DFS stacks?

Now, McClure has turned his attention to Week 10 and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Week 10
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Week 10 is Browns running back D’Ernest Johnson ($4,700 on DraftKings and $5,400 on FanDuel). The Browns will be without Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb this week. Also, the team’s only other running backs on the roster, Demetric Felton and John Kelly, both tested positive for COVID-19, leaving Johnson as, literally, the last RB left.
Johnson rushed for 146 yards and a score in Week 7 as a starter and then found the end zone again a week later as Chubb’s backup. The Patriots have allowed an opposing team’s backs to top 100 scrimmage yards in four straight games.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Colts running back Jonathan Taylor ($8,100 on DraftKings, $9,400 on FanDuel). He has the 10th-most snaps this season among all running backs.
Taylor’s opponent, the Jaguars, have the third-lowest average time of possession in the NFL. As such, he’s sure to have all the opportunity he needs with the Colts’ offense likely to be on the field for the majority of the game. In two meetings with the Jags last season, Taylor finished with 275 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Indy should be in front, so there should be plenty of volume heading Taylor’s way in Week 10.
