NFL Week 10

Going back to the bread and butter: note on each time that played this week in the NFL (and since no team had a bye this week, that means every time.) Remember, If I get 60% of these right, you have no right to complain....My preseason predic's were right on, btw, thank me later).

1. Jacksonville v. Indy:
Obvious that Indy is a fantasy wasteland, but Donald Brown has been hyped to break out for like 5 years now....these last 6 games might finally be his chance.
MJD had monster yardage games in the 2nd half last year, but unfortunately he's already used up his game against Indy (the next one comes Week 17 in Indy which is useless). I'd sell high after his recent back-to-back TD games...Lance from my league is probably reading this now and exploiting it. O well.

2. Atlanta v. N. Orleans:
Matty Ice's 351 yards and 2 TD's are no fluke......congrats to owners who bought low on him.
I recently cut Mark Ingram in one of my really deep leagues and feel no remorse about it whatsoever.... the Saints backfield is a fantasy buzzsaw, he's playing hurt, and they have a bye next week. Wait for next season for Mr. Ingram's time.

3. Houston at Tampa Bay:
Texans are a real contender. The RB's are sick; is it time to add their THIRD-STRINGer Derrick Ward.
Yea Josh Freeman is not good. Avoid EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE. May be worse than Indy.

4. Pittsburgh @ Cincinnatti:
Julio Jones and A.J. Green,man. Both are studs.
LOVE, LOVE Antonio Brown. Exactly what Pittsburgh and your fantasy team needs.

5. Tennessee @ Carolina:
BUY Cam Newton, NOW, NOW, NOW!!!!!! Whatever discount you can get him at, do it now. Chalk it up to a bad game, but he is a top-5 QB no doubt.
SELL Chris Johnson, SELL, SELL, SELL. Best example of both sides of a "buy low, sell high" situation. CJ2K fans are probably saying, finally, he's back!!!! Uh, no, I'm not gonna take 1 game of mirage over 8 games of fantasy reality: he's toast and you should get like a Cedric Benson for him now. Seriously.

6. Arizona @ Philadelphia:
Wow, John Skelton, really? 315 yards and 3 TD's? Even in the worst nightmares of the Philly "Dream Team" they didn't think they'd give up 315 yards to John Skelton. Screw it, pick up Skeletor if only because he has Larry Fitzgerald and Early Doucet to throw to.
What did I say about Michael Vick? Tsk, tsk... not only is a huge injury risk now, he's also a huge suck risk. Congrats Matthew Berry for defrauding innocent fantasy owners everywhere and telling them to take Vick 1st.

7. KC v. Denver:
I swear, if Dwayne Bowe ever had a real QB to throw to him like a Brady, Romo, or Manning......2 rec for 17 yards is a colossal waste of his talents.
If you're starting any Denver WR's, you must love betting green on roulette. Eric Decker owners, get out now while you can.....Tebow might complete like 8 passes the rest of the year.


8. Dallas v. Buffalo:
If I had done a post last week I would have touted Laurent Robinson for you...heh. Love'em. If you have a Cowboy, any Cowboy, get ready to go for a ride cuz they're all about to run wild.
Bills are done.

9. Cleveland v. St. Louis.
There is nothing here. Another mediocre year for Steven Jackson, I have no idea why anyone still drafts him anymore because there is no upside, none, ever.

10. Washington v. Miami:
There is nothing here part 2. Some guy named Hankerchief or Hankersnoggle had a 100-yard game for the Redskins but will go back to 2 rec. for 21 yards pretty soon; Reggie Bush's 2-TD day is completely unsustainable. I'm pretty sure you can't draft Reggie ever again and feel good about it.

11. Seattle v. Baltimore:
Seahawks are awesome at Qwest Field, a.k.a. the Fountain of Youth in which they shower repeatedly before the game. If "Beast Mode" can beast 109 yards and a TD agaisnt the Ravens, we might be on to something here.
When did Joe Flacco turn into Alex Smith? 255 yards and just 1 TD, 1 int against a hapless Seattle Secondary. Tsk, tsk.

12. San Francisco v. NYG:
Watched this game live and whatever Qwest Field is for Seattle, playing San Francisco is the opposite for both teams. The Niners grind it out and make it as ugly as possible (kinda like some food shows I've been watching), and it hurts both teams' fantasy players.
NYG: if you start any Giant receivers, just know they'll be good, but not spectacular, no 150-yard, 2 TD days here; Eli spreads it around like butter on a croissant. (Just spent 2 minutes trying to spell that after taking French for 4 years)

13: Chicago v. Detroit:
If you started the Chicago D, you had a good day. The Chicago D is a MUST-START anytime they're at home. O, and Julius Peppers is good. REALLY good.
Megatron got defeated by Optimus Prime (My new name for Peanut Tillman) on this edition of Beast Wars, but he'll be back. My over-under on number of TD's is 18 this year.

14. New England v. NYJ:
Gronkowski is a top-5 WR who qualifies for TE. Sick. Brady got off the snide in a big way, further proving the old adage, " You always start you studs. ALWAYS."
Mark Sanchez is not a stud. In fact, he's getting kind of sucky. As a Trojan fan it hurts to say this, but if NYJ wants to win a Super Bowl and not just J-E-T-S just end the season, they need a new (and better) QB.

Fantasize on,

Robert Yan
