Sunday Morning Edition
Week
10 Perfect Lineup
(NFL.com)
With the games set to start in less than
two hours, not a lot of time to reflect, so I’ll just give you the short
version. The highlights of my week 9 picks include quarterback Drew Brees and
his 18.7 fantasy points (not very Brees-like) and the Cardinals defense with
13.0 fantasy points. The low-lights include Titans running back DeMarco Murray
(4.1 fantasy points) and Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (6.5 fantasy
points). All-in-all, not a good week, so let’s look at Week 10;
QB-Ben
Roethlisberger; it’s time for Big Ben to breakout this season, and today’s
matchup against the Colts to lend to that trend. Ben gets Martavis Bryant back
and with JuJu, Antonio, and Le’Veon, he looks poised for a big passing day.
RB-Todd
Gurley;
the Rams running back is having a solid campaign, he’s the No.1 fantasy RB in
standard and PPR. The Texans have been good against the run, but Gurley (29
receptions) also contributes in the passing game.
RB-Jordan
Howard;
the Bears runner has been solid this season as the league’s number five running
back (662 yards rushing). He should see an avalanche of carries today and find
the end zone once or twice.
WR-Julio
Jones;
the Falcons receiver has been relatively quiet this season, as far as Julio
numbers go, today could be a breakout day against the Cowboys. He’s sure to see
double digit targets and could put up monster numbers.
WR-Marvin
Jones Jr;
like the other Jones, this Jones could be a busy receiver today. With the Lions
run game pretty much stuck in neutral, I like Jones to continue his upward
trending with more targets and big plays today.
TE-Evan
Engram;
the Giants will be on the road, but against the Niners today may not make much
difference. A poor Niners run defense could land the Giants in the red zone a
number of times today, setting up some favorable chances for Engram to find
paydirt.
PK-Ryan
Succop;
the Titans offense has struggled with scoring this season and with the lack of
a dominant run game, I see a few drives stalling in the red-zone. Succop is the
No.6 fantasy kicker having made 21 of 23 field goals this season.
D/ST-Bears; the
Bears defense will be facing a backup quarterback with a home game, what’s not
to like. Add the fact that the Bears defense has been playing very well of
late, this is a tasty matchup.
That's My Take.
