Fantasy Football Friday: Week 10 Edition

By Jim Ingram

Welcome to week 10 of the Fantasy Football Season! Finally, it's the last week of byes as we see just the Houston Texans and New York Giants resting on the sidelines this week. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to know I'll have my entire team ready to go each week. Now, onto the analysis.
Week 10 Best Match ups:
1. Patriots @ Colts - The usual suspects will be all over the fantasy board on Sunday night. I do like Maroney a lot in this game, so you can read below for that information. Watch out for a huge game from Dallas Clark as well
2. Vikings @ Lions - The only player on the Lions I like is Calvin Johnson, but love Brett Favre and Sidney Rice for the Vikings
3. Ravens @ Browns - This is going to be a running game galore for the Ravens. Look for a major game from Ray Rice and Willis McGahee. They both score this weekend. I also love the Ravens defense for the most obvious reasons.
Put em' in the Lineup:
QB - Ben Roethlisburger, Brett Favre, Mark Sanchez
Roethlisburger is taking on the 25th ranked pass defense in the Cincy Bengals. Brett Favre takes on the lowly Lions, and Mark Sanchez has two straight double digit fantasy games.
RB - Ladell Betts, Lawrence Maroney, Marshawn Lynch
Betts is now the feature back while Portis sits with a concussions. I know they take on the Broncos, but the Redskins always stay with the run. Maroney has scored a TD in the past 3 games, and will be essential to a Pats win on Sunday night. Marshawn Lynch needs to be fed the ball for the Bills to win on Sunday
WR - Eddie Royal, Steve Breaston, Mike Wallace
Eddie Royal is finally on the same page as Kyle Orton. Even if Anquan Boldin plays, Breaston will get enough time and passes thrown his way for a 3rd fantasy wide receiver. Mike Wallace has scored in 3 of the past 4 games, and has 50+ yards in all 4.
TE - Ben Watson, Fred Davis
Watson scores a touchdown against the Colts on Sunday night. Mark my words. Fred Davis just has to be the safety valve for Jason Campbell against the Broncos. There's now way he doesn't catch 5 balls in my opinion.
DEF - NY Jets, Broncos, Ravens
The Jets are playing the Jaguars and will blanket them this weekend. The Broncos play the Redskins and the Ravens take on the Browns. Pretty obvious.
Make em' ride the Bench:
QB - Kyle Orton, Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan
I don't trust Orton right now. Unless you're snake bitten, you shouldn't have to use Orton. I don't like Flacco against the Browns because I think they'll be up big early and will resort to the run. Matt Ryan has really struggled lately. He's thrown for less than 200 yards in 3 of the past 4 games, and even when he threw for 289 he had 3 interceptions.
RB - Jamal Lewis, Jamaal Charles, Knowshon Moreno
I shouldn't even have to put Lewis on this list. You should just know not to play him. Jamaal Charles needs to prove he can score double digit points, and Moreno doesn't get the ball enough.
WR - Mike Sims-Walker, Anquan Boldin
Sims-Walker will be going head to head with Darelle Revis. Even if Boldin plays, I don't think he's that healthy.
TE - John Carlson, Donald Lee
John Carlson has not scored a touchdown since Week 1 and Lee has not been getting a ton of targets from Aaron Rodgers.
DEF - Bills, Eagles
The Titans have been moving the ball on people lately, so watch out for the Bills defense this week. I don't like the Eagles either against the Chargers.
