Week 10:WHICH UNDER THE RADAR PLAYERS HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR A BIG GAME THIS WEEK?Several Washington players — quarterback Alex Smith Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , running back Adrian Peterson, wide receiver Maurice Harris and tight end Vernon Davis — all have the potential to post big numbers this week against the Buccaneers.The Bucs are top 6 or better in fantasy points allowed to each of the main offensive positions. Smith isn’t a prototypical fantasy quarterback but the Bucs have given up multiple TDs to the position in six straight games.Look for Smith to connect often with Harris, who is coming off of a career-best performance with 10 catches for 124 yards receiving last week. With WR Paul Richardson out for the rest of the season and Jamison Crowder’s status for Week 10 unclear, Harris should be heavily targeted and has an especially good matchup against a Buccaneers defense that has been torched by fellow slot receivers this season. If Crowder plays, Harris can still be productive on the outside.Even with the injuries to Washington’s offensive line, Peterson should bounce back from his 16-yard performance in Week 9. Tampa Bay has allowed five TDs to running backs over the past two weeks.He’s expected to play, but tight end Jordan Reed has been limited in practices due to a back injury. He also hasn’t scored a TD since Week 1 or recorded more than 43 receiving yards in five straight games. Davis caught five passes for 62 yards in Week 9 and has a favorable matchup against Tampa Bay, which has allowed the second most receiving yards to TEs.Another QB to consider is Andy Dalton. He takes on the Saints, who’ve allowed an average of 354 passing yards to QBs over the past three weeks.Dalton will be without his top receiver A.J. Green, but John Ross has been practicing in full this week and has an opportunity for a big game against the Saints, who have given up the most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to WRs.At running back, if Seattle’s Chris Carson is either limited or out again in Week 10, Mike Davis has an opportunity for a big game. He faces the Rams, who’ve allowed two TDs to RBs and at least 101 rushing yards in each of their last two games.Saints TE Ben Watson has scored TDs in two of his last three games and takes on the Bengals, who have allowed the second most FPPG to the position.HOW MUCH OF A FANTASY IMPACT WILL DEZ BRYANT HAVE WITH NEW ORLEANS?Let’s face it, Bryant’s skills had already been eroding for the past few seasons. It’s not fair to expect too much from Bryant this season. Name recognition has put him back on the fantasy horizon. Asking a wideout who hasn’t played a live NFL game since last December to step in, learn a new system and be fantasy productive right away is a bit much. Michael Thomas, Tre’Quan Smith, Watson and Alvin Kamara will all easily get more targets on a weekly basis. We all know that QB Drew Brees already loves to spread the ball around.CAN 49ERS QB NICK MULLENS BUILD UPON LAST WEEK’S PERFORMANCE AND IS HE STARTABLE IN WEEK 10?Mullens has what appears to be a very good matchup in Week 10, however the 1-7 Giants have held opposing QBs to just one passing TD in each of the past two weeks. While WR Marquise Goodwin and TE George Kittle provide Mullens with potential TD makers, WR Pierre Garcon, his most targeted receiver last week, has been limited this week (knee) and his progress should be monitored. Mullens is definitely startable in two QB leagues, but he’s a riskier play in other formats. He has a bye in Week 11 https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Le_Raven-Clark-Jersey , but if he’s granted another start in Week 12, he’ll take on the Buccaneers, and they’ve given up the most FPPG to QBs entering Week 10.WHICH COLTS TIGHT END HAS MORE FANTASY VALUE FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON, JACK DOYLE OR ERIC EBRON?It depends on your league’s scoring format. Both have value, but in point-per-reception scoring leagues, Doyle will likely out-produce Ebron. With Doyle missing five games, QB Andrew Luck targeted Ebron 15 times in the red zone, tied for the fourth most in the NFL. However, Doyle averaged just over seven targets in the three games he’s played this season. In those same three games, Ebron averaged just four targets.WHICH RUNNING BACKS HAVE UPSIDE BASED ON THEIR REST-OF-THE-SEASON OUTLOOK?Cardinals running back David Johnson is an excellent buy-low candidate. Four of his last seven opponents are in the top 10 in FPPG allowed to opposing running backs.Bears running back Jordan Howard has quietly had a productive season. His 3.5 yards per carry is underwhelming, but he’s scored five TDs through his first eight games. He is seventh in the league with 20 red zone rushing attempts, and with an average of just under 16 carries per game, Howard is a major part of the Bears offensive scheme and will continue to have ample opportunities to be fantasy relevant. The Colts got off to an incredible start in this play-in game against the Tennessee Titans. On the road in a game that will either send them to the postseason or send them packing, this team showed up on both sides of the ball. They won the toss and deferred to the second half.After a trick play on the opening kickoff put the Titans on the Colts side of the field, the defense clamped down and forced a punt. They pinned the Colts on the eight-yard line and Andrew Luck set to work. He proceeded to drive 92 yards on 12 plays and capped it off with a touchdown to Dontrelle Inman after escaping pressure to buy more time. The offense looked great on the opening drive, getting solid pass and run blocking and getting receivers open downfield easily. The Titans got the ball back and another great series from the Colts defense ended their second drive with a very near pick by Malik Hooker on a risky deep ball from Blaine Gabbert. The Colts defense came out with a lot more fire in this game than they have in the last couple weeks and Darius Leonard made his presence known early. It seems that this week Eberflus has the defense primed because to a man they look like they came to play.Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty ImagesWith the ball back in Andrew Luck’s hands, the offense again began methodically working back down the field, largely on the back of Marlon Mack. A big 3rd down conversion by Ebron kept the drive going, but a short run by Mack stalled the drive out just across the 50-yard line. Frank Reich showed his aggressive tendencies by going for it on 4th and 2, hitting Nyheim Hines for a short gain and picking up the 4th down conversion. That aggressiveness proved worthwhile as the Colts continued their brutal march downfield, manhandling the Titans defense on their way into the red zone. They ended their 16-play 90-yard drive with a pass to Eric Ebron for another touchdown, this one at the expense of Kevin Byard, scoring the first touchdown by a tight end against the Titans’ defense all season. That makes 14 touchdowns for him on the season and put the Colts ahead 14-0 midway through the 2nd quarter. The Colts defense really have done well swarming to the ball and limited pass catchers, and despite Derrick Henry’s effectiveness T.Y. Hilton Jersey , it is tough to mount a comeback by running the ball. Gabbert has proven incapable of hitting his receivers on 3rd downs where they are in obvious passing situations, and the Colts defense continues to put them in those situations. The Titans again found themselves punting the ball back to Andrew Luck after their 3rd drive. Through those 3 drives, the Titans gained just 2 first downs and 36 total yards. Fortunately for the Titans, the Colts domination wouldn’t continue so smoothly. With a little pressure on the first play of the Colts next drive, Luck threw a truly awful pick six, gifting 7 points to the Titans defense and allowing them back into the game and giving a jolt of momentum to a Titans team that was reeling. There are some Andrew Luck picks that have been the fault of a receiver or a really great defensive play, but this was not one of those. This was just Andrew making a really bad decision with the football. Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY SportsThat pick knocked the offense off its rhythm and resulted in quick a punt on the ensuing offensive series, but as bad as Luck’s mistake was, Adoree Jackson made a worse one. He attempted to pick up a bounced ball on the punt and muffed it. The muffed punt was recovered by Chris Milton on the Titans’ 9-yard line. Compounding the ridiculous run of errors, Marlon Mack fumbled the ball away and gave it back to the Titans. Thankfully, the Colts defense continued a solid string of play and locked down the Titans’ offense with a great play by Kenny Moore to lay out for a pass breakup. With just over 2 minutes to go in the first half, Andrew Luck and the offense got the ball back. Despite being largely used as a decoy and showing signs of pretty significant pain, T.Y. Hilton broke a huge 32-yard screen pass and got the Colts moving and into Titans territory as the Colts began working back into their rhythm again. Luck hasn’t looked quote like himself on this drive, making two dangerous throws that could have been picked. Fortunately, he avoided that, and the Colts settled for a 53-yard field goal from Adam Vinatieri with :39 seconds in the half. With all their timeouts, the Titans began driving to attempt to get a score before the half, and found themselves having more success moving the ball through the air. An incredibly dumb late hit by safety George Odum helped move the ball onto the Colts side of the field. Unfortunately, during that drive, rookie pass rusher Tyquan Lewis found himself on the turf and immediately grabbed at his right knee. His loss for any amount of time is a big blow to both the pass rush and the run defense for this team. George Odum very nearly redeemed himself with a pick in the end zone but it was broken up as Odum and Desir didn’t communicate well and knocked it away from each other. The result was a field goal from the Titans to end the half 17-10 with the Colts set to get the ball back to start the second half.Overall this has been a tale of two very different quarters from the Colts on offense. Since Luck’s pick six, this offense has looked out of sync and has been making costly mistakes that they cannot make down the stretch. Hopefully the half will give them a chance to breath, evaluate those mistakes, and start fresh in the second half.
