Week 9 featured reliable Fantasy Football's waiver wire pickups including WR Deverey Henderson (three receptions for 93 yards) and RB Ryan Moats (16 carries for 38 yards, and three receptions for 15 yards and a touchdown).

With Week 10 approaching, here are the next future stars.

Quarterbacks:

freemanJosh Freeman – Tampa Bay: The rookie finally made his debut on Sunday and did far better than anyone would expect. He threw for 205 yards and had three touchdowns passes.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will travel to Miami and take on the Dolphins. The Dolphins rank 28th in pass defense and allow 247 yards per game.

The Dolphins have allowed 10 touchdown passes, and are allowing 8.3 yards per pass attempt.

Without No. 1 WR Antonio Bryant, Freeman still managed to do very well. With Bryant expected back this week, look for him to have another solid game.

 

 Running Backs:

Ladell Betts - Redskins: With the concussion to RB Clinton Portis, Betts filled in and did better than Portis has done all year. Last week, on only 15 carries, he had 70 yards and a touchdown.

The Washington Redskins will host the Denver Broncos in Week 10. On Monday, Coach Jim Zorn announced that RB Clinton Portis will be listed as doubtful this week, leaving the rushing attempts to Betts. Fantasy owners looking for a running back, with the potential to start the rest of the year, should add Betts.

 

Wide Receivers:

Earl Bennett - Bears: Over his last four games, he has 17 receptions for 177 yards. He is starting to get targeted more and Fantasy Owners should be aware and take notice; last week, he had seven receptions for 93 yards.

The Chicago Bears will travel to San Francisco. The 49ers have the 23rd rated pass defense in the league, and have surrendered nine touchdowns and have allowed 174 completions, which ranks 23rd worst in the NFL.

Bennett already has become a focal point in the Bears’ offense, so look for him to become a viable Fantasy wideout going forward.

 

Chris Chambers - Chiefs: He struggled in San Diego, and finally had an opportunity to shine in Kansas City. In his debut for his new team, Chambers had three receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns.

The Kansas City Chiefs will travel to Oakland in Week Ten. The Raiders rank 29th in passing yards per attempt allowed (7.8). The Chiefs cut WR Bobby Engram on Saturday, making Chambers the No. 3 receiver in Kansas City. Fantasy owners desperate for a dark horse sleeper, will want to make a waiver claim for the veteran receiver.

 

Jacoby Jones - Texans: Without the presence of TE Owen Daniels, lost for the season, Jones stepped in and had a good game. He had four receptions for 67 yards.

In Week 11 and 13, the Texans will play the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars. The Titans rank last in passing yards allowed (278) and in passing touchdowns (21).

The Jaguars rank tied for 26th in the NFL in passing touchdowns allowed (15) and 26th in passing yards allowed per game (242). Look for Jones to become a valuable Fantasy receiver in the weeks ahead. If you have the roster space, grab him and use him on favorable matchups.

Do you think trading Sims Walker for Mendenhall is a smart trade or no? I was looking at the matchups thats why

My other receivers are S.Rice, Ward, Boldin and Burleson

I probably wouldn't pick up any of them. Think about it, are you really going to want to start any of those players in the near future? I wouldn't waste the roster move.

I'd use Rackers, both having an equal matchup this week, as he plays on a more explosive offense. Rackers will also enjoy a more favorable schedule the rest of the way.

Grab Denver a they play an anemic Redskins' offense. Save AZ for the remainder of the season to play matchups. Miami is expandable based on their schedule.

Sims-Walker has a terrible stretch of games ahead, but is a keeper.
If you're really hurting at RB, then you should make the trade. Your other WRs are OK and have relatively easy schedules going forward.

Based on matchups, Chambers has the better matchup, but Meachem, although inconsistent, has the better QB.

in Standard League its Weeks 15 and 16 just the top 4 teams go... As for in PPR its Week 14-16, top 8 go into this one.

My other running backs are Chris Johnson, Ray Rice, Beanie Wells, and Jamal Charles(which i was thinking of dropping for Shonn Green)

Our league isn't a keeper league just a seasonal one, so you think i should still keep Sims?

Still trying to fix a bad group of RBs for the rest of the season and the playoffs: (10-teams, start 2 RB & WR (can carry up to 5), 1 Q, TE, K, D/st, non-ppr)

I have: S-Jax, Wells, J Charles, S Greene, Buckhalter
FAs available: Betts, Forsett, Fargas, McFadden, Cadillac, Maroney & Morris, Choice & T Jones, Bell, Sproles, B Scott.
Greene & Betts look good for wk 13-15 playoff, but I need at least one good start with S-Jax in wks 10-12. Any thoughts on who to keep/swap for week to week plays and who I should keep for playoffs? Thanks!!

Mikey, what I meant by keeper is not to get rid of him anytime soon.
With Boldin having his annual injury rash and with other viable RBs in Chris Johnson and PPR machine Ray Rice, I'd think about it before making the trade then.

Ward would be your only other stud at WR.
You don't want to go into the playoffs with an unbalanced team!

You might want to think about acquiring Kolby Smith if available. Your 2 stud RBs have great week 14 matchups.

Not exactly a strong group to choose from. Maroney always seems a way to find himself in the doghouse and for some reason the Patriots like Sammy Morris. He should be healthy in couple weeks, otherwise Maroney might not be a bad play either.

Choice was working earlier in the year, but his carries seem to have gone down in recent weeks. I do not like Betts, although Portis is hurt, so maybe he can put ups some numbers.

I think of the guys you listed I like them in the following order:

1) Maroney
2) Morris
3) Betts
4) Sproles
5) Choice

Those Patriots backs are your best options, but your guess is as good as mine as to who will be starting in a couple weeks.

I would pick up RB's in this order:
Do not trust the Pats running backs and Choice does not get the opportunities he once did.

Justin Fargas is the sleeper of the group. He has done well over the last two weeks and managed to score a touchdown in Oakland last game.

Ladell Betts is the best choice out of the group. Every time he has had the starting role, he has produced in the past.
1. Thomas Jones
2. Ladell Betts
3. Justin Fargas
4. Laurence Maroney
5. Darren Sproles

Good luck this week and look forward to your next comment.

I am going to assume you want me to pick which RB's to start:

1. Mendenhall
2. Charles
3. Maroney

I would pick Davis over Gonzalez. Gonzalez is playing the Panthers, who rank 5th best in pass defense. Davis will be playing the Bears. They have allowed 16 touchdowns passes on the year. Look for Davis to continue his stellar year.

Good luck this week and look forward to your next comment.

Sims Walker is in my Standard League not PPR League, so would that change your mind on the trade for Mendenhall or no? I'm having second thoughts about the trade since i'm seeing that Pittsburgh is going more into a passing team instead of the rushing team that it was before.

Mikey, yours being a non-PPR, Sims-Walker loses his edge vs. Mendenhall. They both have similar numbers in standard leagues.
Mendenhall has only topped the 100-yard rushing mark twice this season, and in one occasion he didn't score. Also, Willie Parker may be healthy soon to take caries away from him.At least for this year.
I'd hold onto Walker for now since Boldin has been injured lately and your other WR stud is Ward.

I would not pick up Williams. However, it depends on your team and if their is a need. He would be someone to keep and eye one and see whether he can have back to back consistent outings before I would pick him up.

If you need a receiver, I would pick him up, but if you do not need a receiver, then be patient and see how he does this week.

Good luck this week and look forward to your next comment.
Who to acquire
29 Wednesday, 11 November 2009 13:33
Angel
I was just wondering which QB's and WR would be good to acquire during playoffs which is from Weeks 14-16. My QB's are Cutler, Schaub, and Sanchez. WR's are Collie, N.Washington, Ochocinco, Manningham, Cribbs.
another def for week 10 :RE

John Arias
I would go with the Titans defense this week and this is why.

The Titans have five interceptions in their last two games and have scored 19 and 25 Fantasy points.

This week they take on a struggling Buffalo Bills team, with a struggling quarterback. Look for another solid outing for the Titans defense in Week 10.

Good luck this week and look forward to your next comment.

John Arias
I would go with Earl Bennett over the rest of the receivers. (For reasons why look at the Week 10 waiver wire).

He is targeted more and has a better quarterback throwing him the ball, who has time in the pocket. Unfortunately, Cassel has a very weak O-line.

Good luck this week and look forward to your next comment.

The best match up would be with Meachem. The Saints will be taking on the Rams and their horrible pass defense, which ranks in the bottom half of the league.

If you need a flex pick, I would go with Meachem. Look for Brees to spread the ball around and find Meachem for a touchdown.

Good luck this week and look forward to your next comment.

For Qb's another Fantasy owner wanted to know the same exact answer. These should be your targets and you should be able to get them without having to over pay:

Qb's:Kurt Warner, Matt Hasselbeck, and Matt Cassel

Rb's: Ryan Grant, Pierre Thomas, LT

Good luck this week and look forward to your next comment.
thinking of acquiring Matt Schaub
34 Thursday, 12 November 2009 23:20
Mikey
I was just wondering what player or players would be sufficient for a trade to get Matt Schaub to make a strong case for a playoff spot.

This is my roster and its a standard league, no ppr

T.Romo, C.Palmer, A.Boldin, M.Sims Walker, N.Burleson, S.Rice, R.Rice, Chris Johnson, B.Wells, H.Ward, J.Charles, and T.Gonzalez

do you think lance long from the chiefs is a good p/u against the raiders or do you think the chiefs are going to have that mentality to run the ball alot?

Who to start at flex: Housh or Shonn Greene, housh did nothing a couple weeks ago against the cards, i gotta feeling greene will get some touches this week. Also, B. Berrian and meachem are available!!!

38 Friday, 13 November 2009 18:33

I would trade Romo and Hines Ward for Schaub. This should be more than enough for the other owner.

However, it really depends on what the other owner needs. If he needs a RB, I would trade Beanie Wells, and mention his production of late.

Good luck this week and look forward to your next comment.

I would not pick up the Chief receiver. It is not worth it. I would pick up, Chamber over Lance. Even though he had eight reception for 74 yards, it might be because defenses did not account for him. Look for him to struggle.

Good luck this week and look forward to your next comment.
standard league waiver wire p/u: RE

John Arias
Depending on the league type, I would pick up Chris Chambers for this reason. The Chiefs will usually play from behind, and that means for opportunities for Matt Cassell to throw the ball.

Look for Chambers to be successful in Kansas City and for Cassell to target him in the upcoming weeks.

Good luck this week and look forward to your next comment.

I would go with T.J. He is being targeted regularly and will take on the Cardinals. Arizona ranks 26th against the pass and has surrendered 14 touchdowns through the air.

Look for him to have a solid game against the Cardinals.

Good luck this week and look forward to your next comment.
