Holy fricken cow! Can you believe it is already week ten? It won’t be long now and you will either be counting your cash and listening to your buddies heckle your losing ways. Lets work on the former.
Start em if you got em
DeAngelo Williams RB (CAR) – If you have DeAngelo Williams on your squad, you need to get him into your line-up this weekend. He has been getting a larger share of the work lately and he is at home against the 30th ranked Oakland rushing defense that was torn up by both of Atlanta’s running backs last week. Look for 150 all purpose yards and at least 1 touchdown.
Chad Pennington QB (MIA) – Chad has been playing great over the last few games and there is no reason for that to stop this week. The Seahawks are in town, they are ranked 31st against the pass and they don’t travel well – especially over 3 times zones. Chad should have a solid day if you are looking for some bye week love. I’m thinking 250 and 2 touchdowns.
Sit em if you got em
Matt Forte RB (CHI) – If Orton doesn’t play this week, you might also want to think about sitting Matt Forte of the Bears this week. You really don’t think Grossman is going to keep a disciplined Titans defense on their heels do you? I know he has been a rock star so far this season but the Titans are coming to town and they will be able to key on him all day without Orton at the helm. I know its a bold call but look for 50-75 all purpose and no touchdowns.
Nobody Else - I’m just feeling too positive, just one sit today.
Sleepers: Don’t be surprised if…
…Brady Quinn QB (CLE) has a solid outing versus the 27th ranked Denver passing defense that will be without its top corner Champ Bailey once again. And I say all that with the assumption that Braylon Edwards will CATCH the damn ball. I can see 275 and 2+ touchdowns in Brady’s future.
…Miami Dolphin D comes away with a bunch of sacks and a few turnovers against the struggling Seahawks. With the exception of a gift wrapped victory in San Fransisco a couple weeks ago, the Seahawks haven’t scored more than 10 points on the road all year. Meanwhile, the Phins are quietly racking up just over two sacks a game and forcing some turnovers. None of that should change this Sunday. 10 points allowed, 4 sacks and two turnovers that could lead to scores.

wow. lots of help needed this week:
pick 3 RB: R. Rice(if starts), L. White, T. Jones, D. McCalister, J. Charles, S. Slaton
pick 2 WR: L. Evans, K Curtis, H. Ward, S. Holmes, D. Avery

Dylan
@Oil Field
McNabb
and I gotta think Burress is due even with the tough match-up. The rest are a toss up with me leaning towards Evans.
@ Dylan,
White, Jones, Slaton
Evans, Ward
no ppr: Greg Camarillo, muhsin, donnie avery, jerricho cotchery or breaston – start two.
so this week i have some major decisions to make. i might as well let you guys view the full array of players as last post. i dont know what RB combo to go with, as you’ll see i went crazy on the waivers sunday night and snatched up ray rice who i have been hying all year and could have some big things ahead. and the questionable J. Charles out of KC. they both go along with the current setup of Addai and williams counterpart J stewart. I have lost some faith in Addai this year and with him going up against the steel curtain i think i should bench him. input? im fairly set on my WR but but always welcome another prespective thanksPos
QB
Philip Rivers
Andre Johnson
Roddy White
Chris Chambers

Greg Olsen

WR-Mushin Muhammad,Donnie Avery,Anthony Gonzales,and Ted Ginn Jr.
RB-Ray Rice,Maurice J Drew and Derrick Ward.Thanks
I play in a league that starts 1 QB. I currently have Matt Shaub, Matt Hasselbeck and Tyler Thigpen. As you can see I’m in need of some healthy bodies at QB. I was wonderng if I should dump Hasselbeck and pick up Shaun Hill off waivers. I read that Hasselbeck is good to go for Week 11, but I’m worried that he’s just too banged-up to be of any use. A banged-up Hasselbeck or a healthy Shaun Hill?
Thanks.
pick two: ronnie brown, m moore, tim hightower ty
R. Brown, M Moore, T. Jones – start two. All have great matchups.
@ pastor,
Cotchery, Avery
Brown, moore
@ austin,
I like what you have. go with that.
@ Roosevelt,
MJD (he is WAY over due)
Rice
Moose
Avery (Ginn if you feel a little frisky)
@JB
Tough one. If you can survive another week without Hill (and Thigpen has a decent matchup) you could wait and see if he is even decent. I am leaning Hasselbeck.
@ Double D
Hard to make a bad choice. You will be fine reguardless.
I like Brown and Moore but you could make a case for jones as well (i trust the Jets coaches the least when it comes to rushing the ball and getting him touches).
If that doesn’t do it for you, put all three names in a hat and start the first to that you pick.
Hines Ward, J. Cotchery, Antonio Gates – Pick 2
Giants or Ravens Defense/Special Teams?
Tomlinson, Mewelde Moore, W. McGahee – Pick 2
Thanks for any insite!
@ GL
Cothery, Gates
Tomlinson, Moore
DST…hmmm close call. I think it comes down to Sage Rosenfels and his propensity to turn the ball over. Ravens!
well that blew up in my face
