Quarterback Value Picks for Week 10
QB: Mark Sanchez ($6,600): With the injury to Nick Foles, Sanchez will get his turn to run the run and gun offense for Chip Kelly. The former USC standout has never been a fantasy stud, but did provide a spark last week in relief of Foles. On 22 attempts, Sanchez connected on 15 for 202 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Texans. He gets another great match-up this week against a Panthers team that has been demolished in through the air. It will certainly be a gamble to play Sanchez, but last year we had no idea how well Nick Foles could run an offense and he was a fantasy stud, why not Sanchez!
QB: Josh McCown ($5,700): McCown has returned to the starting lineup for this week’s game against the Falcons. In his 2+ starts this year he did not show the same ability he did last season in Chicago, but like last year he has a plethora of big weapons on the outside. Vincent Jackson hasn’t been himself this year but still has talent, Mike Evans is coming off of a huge 124 yard and 2 touchdown game last week, and Austin Seferian-Jenkins has started to become a bigger part of the offense. The Falcons have been a mess on the road and in both of the starts in which he finished McCown did have 2 touchdowns. For such a low price he could be worth a flyer so you can fill the rest of your roster with studs.
Running Back Value Picks for Week 10
RB: Reggie Bush ($6,600): The Lions look to be back to 100% this weekend with both Bush and Calvin Johnson set to return against the Dolphins. It has not been the great season most Bush owners had hoped for, but he has been a steady option when healthy. He has at least 2 receptions in every game, but has yet to top 12 carries in any game and only has 1 touchdown. Because of his injury and sub-par play his priced has dropped, it could be a nice week to take advantage as the defense will be focusing down field on Tate and Johnson, potentially opening up big lanes for Bush underneath.
RB: Darren McFadden ($6,100): Another running back that is a big factor in the passing game is McFadden in Oakland. Run DMC has 4 receptions in five of his last six games to go along with 11+ carries each of the last seven games. He only has two touchdowns on the season, but seems likely to find the end zone sooner than later. In a game in which the Raiders are likely to be down quickly vs. the Broncos, McFadden should see a ton of action in the short passing game which could lead to over 100 total yards and a touchdown.
Wide Receiver Value Picks for Week 10
WR: Martavis Bryant ($6,100): Three games, 5 touchdowns! It seems a bit odd that Steelers had this weapon sitting on the sidelines until three weeks ago, but now that he is seeing consistent playing time, Bryant is making the most of it. His price has jumped from minimum salary, but for a player averaging nearly 18 fantasy points a game over the last three games, the salary is still not all that high. The Jets actually have a solid run defense and with Big Ben on fire look for Todd Haley to keep the passing plays rolling. There is no reason not to target Bryant at this point.
WR: Davante Adams ($5,200): Adams has locked down his role as the number three receiver for the high powered Packers. He has been a bit inconsistent with 1, 6, 1, and 7 reception totals over the last four weeks, but the great news for his fantasy value is that in those 1 reception games, each of those were touchdowns. This week Green Bay plays Chicago who has an atrocious pass defense and a high powered offense which should mean a high scoring shootout. Expect Adams to have his first 100 yard receiving day in week ten.
WR: Robert Woods ($6,300): With the news that Sammy Watkins is likely out a few weeks with a groin injury, Woods assumes the role of number on receiver in Buffalo. He has not put up huge yardage numbers, but does have at least 3 receptions in all but one game this year and has found the end zone in two of his last three outings. With the injuries to Fred Jackson, C.J. Spiller and Watkins, the team will look to Woods to make plays against the Chiefs.
Tight End Value Pick for Week 10
TE: Clay Harbor ($5,100): Coming off a 0’fer, Harbor is certainly a gamble this week for the Jaguars. Prior to that dud, Harbor had 22 receptions in the previous five games along with a touchdown. Jacksonville is not a pass happy team, but rookie Blake Bortles has been soli at throwing for decent yardage even if he does throw a boatload of interceptions. The Jags are also taking on a Cowboys team that has given up the third most fantasy points to tight ends. The possibly of a dud is there, but for the price it will not take much to pay off his value.
Defense Value Pick for Week 10
DEF: Detroit ($5,000): The Lions are not the cheapest defense on the board, but they come in with one of the top defenses in the league at home. They are likely to be under owned this week as they are taking on a Dolphins team that just put up 37 against San Diego. The Lions, however, have been over 10 fantasy points in three games this year and with players like Suh, Ansah, and Fairley the potential for sacks is there. Miami could also come into the game with a less than 100% Lamar Miller.
