Ryan Flournoy's fantasy role in Week 10
Ryan Flournoy goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a deep-league WR flyer for the DAL. He is rostered in 28% of leagues and actually started in 10% of them, and we rank him WR65 on our own weekly board at 3.6 projected points.
Interest is cooling — roster rates slipped roughly 2% in the last week, so he is getting cheaper to acquire if you believe in the role.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 10 matchup breakdown
The matchup: vs SF. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting WR baseline of 10 points, his 3.6-point projection is 6.4 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Ryan Flournoy in Week 10 if you have a real alternative — 3.6 projected points lands 6.4 under the WR starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another WR, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ryan Flournoy (DAL WR), our WR65 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season vs SF, projecting 3.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 6.4 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. The projection sits about 64% under what a startable WR returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. At home against SF, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ryan Flournoy (DAL WR), our WR65 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season vs SF, projecting 3.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 6.4 points of shortfall. The vs SF draw matters here — home snaps against SF shape how often he's asked to do something. Roster share is bleeding 2.2% this week, which lines up with what the projection already told me. 10% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
