Fantasy Football Week 10 Start ‘Em Sit ’Em
by Al Simmons
Fantasy Football Week 10 is here and the New York Giants and Houston Texans are the only teams on bye weeks.
The only big player missed this week should be Andre Johnson. So fantasy owners should have most of their roster at their disposal expect for injured players like Clinton Portis.
Fantasy Football Week 10 Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em:
Start em
Quarterbacks
Brett Favre vs. Detroit: anybody that plays against the Lions is always good option, but with all the weapons that Favre has it could be a tremendous day for him.
Mark Sanchez vs. Jacksonville: Jaguars rank 26th vs. the pass. Sanchez completed 20 of 35 passes for 265 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to Miami.
Tony Romo vs. Green Bay: keep in mind the Packers have allowed 449 passing yards and seven TD passes in the last two games. The two teams met the last two seasons, with Romo throwing a total of five touchdowns in those games.
Running Backs
Ray Rice vs. Browns: Rice is a top RB who can both run and catch the ball. Rice scored on a 2-yard run to score the Ravens' only touchdown in the game. Cleveland is second last defending the run.
Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams vs. Tampa Bay: both RBs share carries in the wild cat formation all season. Expect both have to enormous fantasy games as they visit one of the worst rushing defenses in the NFL.
Justin Fargas vs. Kansas City: The Chiefs rank 28th against the run this season and Fargas has 462 rush yards against Kansas City, his most vs. any team.
Chris Johnson vs Buffalo Bills: Johnson has been a monster this year and the Bills rushing defense has been atrocious.
Wide Receivers
Sidney Rice/Bernard Berrian/Percy Harvin vs. Detroit: Detroit is among the worst pass defenses in the NFL.
Marques Colston vs. St. Louis: despite Colston having the flu (the none swine kind) he has a great matchup against St. Louis.
Lee Evans vs. Tennessee: Titans rank 32nd in passing defense. Evans has gone for at least 60 receiving yards in 3 of his last 5 games and has two touchdowns.
Sit 'Em
QB
Matt Ryan vs. Carolina: Ryan has been intercepted 8 times in his last four games and nine in his last five. The Panthers are the ranked 5th at defending the pass in the NFL.
Vince Young vs. Buffalo: Young is not putting impressive numbers since he is starting for the Titans', throwing only one TD pass and running for another. Buffalo is a top 10 passing defense and has the worst run defense in the league so expect Chris Johnson to own this game.
RB
LaDainian vs. Philadelphia: Eagles rank 10th vs. the run and the best years of LT are behind him and he hasn’t practiced all week due to hip issues.
Julius Jones vs. Arizona: Jones was expected to do more on the ground against the Lions and he didn’t deliver. Cardinals rank third vs. the run
WR
Nate Washington vs. Buffalo: Bills rank 10th in receiving defense. Washington has only five catches combined for 52 yards and a TD against San Francisco.
Santana Moss vs. Denver: having a QB like Jason Campbell is nothing to be happy about week and week out and Broncos rank eighth in receiving defense.
