This is the companion piece to the 12-team version. The difference between a 10-team and 12-team league is that those two fewer players per position make a big difference the further you get in your draft.
A 10-team league means positional quality lasts longer. Everyone has a “good” team, so you need less depth and more difference-makers. Simply enough, to reach your championship you have to own elite players in their position. Depth matters less – there’s always something on the waiver wire. You are much better off building an optimal starting lineup first and foremost and not playing games with loading up on wideouts or running backs before you’ve reached that best possible lineup.
To follow are the first three-rounds for 10-team fantasy football leagues. They use either standard performance scoring, performance plus a point per reception, or “2QB/Super Flex” leagues where you can start two of any position. Those three formats cover almost all leagues.
