Explore top rookie spots after Week 10
In Week 10, some rookie performances left fantasy managers thrilled, especially Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving, who brought in 17.7 fantasy points. Arizona Cardinals’ wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. wasn’t far behind with 16.4, and New York Giants’ running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. added another 15.4 points to the board. Yet, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for every rookie.
Curious about the key stats and which new talents to watch for going forward?
Daniels completed 17 of 30 passes for 202 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions. He showed finesse with a perfectly placed 28-yard pass to Terry McLaurin in the third quarter, delivering the ball just over the cornerback’s reach.

“He’s not even the best QB in the NFC East. I think Jayden Daniels is the guy right now…”

But not all passes were on target; he missed an open receiver on a deep over and later underthrew down the sideline in a critical moment. This week, Daniels reminded fans that even rising stars have off days. Whether it was the Steelers’ pressure or just an off night, Daniels struggled with accuracy on some key throws.
Nix went 22 of 30 for 223 yards with two touchdowns. He executed a well-placed 34-yard touchdown to Courtland Sutton and capped off his performance with a bullet pass to Sutton under tight coverage. Although he had some missed throws, Nix mostly steered clear of dangerous plays, navigating Sean Payton’s quick-strike offense effectively.

Williams completed 16 of 30 passes for 120 yards without any touchdowns. He made some smooth moves, including a sharp 9-yard pass and an 11-yard scramble with a well-timed juke. But his struggles were evident—missed sideline throws, hesitation, and taking a sack when other options were available. Williams’ slump continued, as his game was marked by shorter, safer throws with minimal standout moments.
Maye completed 15 of 25 passes for 184 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. In the third drive, he showcased his arm strength with a precise pass to Austin Hooper. Later, he sent a 24-yard deep strike to Kayshon Boutte.
DRAKE MAYE IS AWESOME TO WATCH.

However, his interception highlighted the danger of overlooking defenders, and he narrowly avoided another turnover in the fourth quarter. Despite some shaky moments, he displayed his potential in a solid road win.
Rattler was once again inactive, listed as the emergency quarterback behind Derek Carr, Jake Haener, and versatile playmaker Taysom Hill. With Carr healthy and Haener now the solid No. 2 option, Rattler’s chances of taking the field this season are increasingly limited.

I write about sports because, well, it brings in the big bucks! I’m not some lifelong analyst or stats guru, truth being told, you’ve probably never heard of me!—I just know how to research, write, and make things sound good. That’s the job!
Got into sports media the same way most people do: by (fortunate) accident. Started with SEO writing, took on a few sports gigs, and now here we are! I cover games, trades, player drama—whatever needs words.
Favorite part? The chaos. One day it’s a blockbuster trade, the next it’s a goat running onto the field. Never boring.
