If you are a big FanDuel player like myself, you are already preparing to set your lineups for Week 10, hoping for a major payday. In order to succeed, you have to be lucky and find some big bargains to offset your high-value players. These 10 players are good bargains heading into Week 10, with either a favorable matchup or increased production.

10. QB Mark Sanchez - $6,600

With Nick Foles now out for an extended period of time, Mark Sanchez is in charge, and given his performance on Sunday, he will be nothing like he was back with the New York Jets. The Philadelphia Eagles play on Monday Night and face an awfully inconsistent Carolina Panthers defense that has given up an average of 21.2 fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.

9. QB Zach Mettenberger - $6,100

Tennessee's Zach Mettenberger is the lowest paid starter this week, but that shouldn't steer you away from him. The Tennessee Titans are coming off their bye week and are facing a Baltimore Ravens defense that is depleted (no Jimmy Smith) and gave up six touchdowns to Ben Roethlisberger. This game may also be a blowout in Baltimore's favor, so Mettenberger could get ample opportunities to throw the ball for some cheap garbage time stats.

Like Mettenberger, Anthony Dixon is one of the lowest ranked starters this week a ,300. With C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson out for the Buffalo Bills, Dixon has been Buffalo's primary back, earning 35 carries over the past two weeks. This week, the Bills are coming off their bye and face a Kansas City Chiefs defense that gives up 13 points on average to opposing running backs. Dixon is a good play if you are really desperate for a No. 2 back.

7. RB Justin Forsett - $6,500

Justin Forsett was limited last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers because the defense was so poor, but don't completely go away from him this week. Forsett rushed for just 38 yards on nine carries, but made up for it with 67 yards receiving. He has had double-digit fantasy games four times and has three consecutive nine point games. He faces a Tennessee Titans defense that gives up an average of 21.2 fantasy points to opposing running backs.

6. WR Torrey Smith - $5,900

Torrey Smith was all but forgotten in terms of fantasy after three weeks, but has responded nicely in the following seven. Over that stretch, Smith has recorded 16 receptions for 286 yards and five touchdowns. In Week 10, he faces a Tennessee Titans defense that has allowed an average of 21.2 fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, and he should be matched up on Blidi Wreh-Wilson, who has had an awful 2014 campaign so far.

5. WR Martavis Bryant - $6,100

Martavis Bryant was all but forgotten for the first six weeks of the season, but over the last three weeks, he has recorded 10 receptions and scored five touchdowns. Bryant gets another favorable matchup this week as the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the New York Jets, who, as we all know, have one of the worst secondaries in all of football. Stick with Bryant and the Steelers' passing game until they show you anything different.

4. TE Mychal Rivera - $5,700

In the past two weeks, Mychal Rivera has been a favorite for rookie QB Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders. Against Cleveland Browns and Seattle Seahawks, Rivera has been targeted 20 times and recorded 15 receptions for 121 yards and two touchdowns, both against Seattle. Despite his next matchup against a Denver Broncos defense that was humiliated by the New England Patriots, Rivera should get plenty of targets this week.

3. TE Jason Witten - $5,800

Even with the absence of Tony Romo, Jason Witten had a productive day against the Arizona Cardinals. Witten recorded six receptions for 62 yards with Brandon Weeden as his quarterback. With Romo expected to be healthy against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Witten should again see more targets this week against one of the league's worst pass defenses.

2. K Cody Parkey - $5,000

If you are looking for a bargain at kicker, look no further than the Philadelphia Eagles' Cody Parkey. Parkey, an undrafted rookie out of Auburn, has missed on just one of his 16 field goal attempts and has had double-digit fantasy games five times this season. This week, Parkey and the Eagles face a reeling Carolina Panthers team that has only won once on the road this season and lost by double digits twice in their past three road games.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense has been solid over the past two weeks, posting double-digit points against the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens, and now faces the offensively-inept New York Jets. The Jets give up the ball like it's Christmas, and they can't move the ball through the air, averaging just 200 yards passing over the past six weeks.
