Week 10 Sunday Games Recap:

Seahawks @ Falcons:

The Seahawks absolutely bludgeoned the Falcons in Atlanta. This was mostly expected, but it was still surprising to see the Seahawks dominate this much away from home. Russell Wilson (21) was excellent as he has been. He has scored 19 points in 3 of his last 4 games. Marshawn Lynch (21) got extensive usage and had his third 20 point game of the year. Christine Michael (3) ended up being the main backup and looked pretty good doing so. The Falcons defense is bad. Steven Jackson (20 total yards) ended up being the third best Falcons RB of the day, but the whole offense was bad. Its hard to start anyone with confidence right now. Matt Ryan (12) wasn't awful and didn't have a turnover, but he averaged 4.8 yards per pass which is extremely low. Still, he increased his home TD:INT ratio to 10:1 on the year, which makes him a low-end QB1 at home. For receivers, Golden Tate (16) had another great game, and he's had exactly 7 targets in four of the last 5 games. Certainly a good if not completely reliable WR2. Doug Baldwin (7) now has 18 targets over the past two games and if Harvin isn't back before the bye, he is a somewhat decent WR3 option. I want no part of him otherwise. Roddy White's (2) return did not inspire a lot of confidence. More hopeful next week against Tampa Bay, but will he be covered by Revis? If so...no thank you again. Harry Douglas (2.9) caught 7 of 8 targets but for a mere 49 yards and then also fumbled making him useless. Jacquizz Rodgers (5) caught five more passes and continues to be a nice PPR flex option.

Lions @ Bears

The return of Jay Cutler (11) was not a great one. He will appear to miss next weeks game against Baltimore, where Josh McCown would start. The Ravens are still a tough defense, and I'm not interested. Brandon Marshall (25) with another huge game. He now has 6 TDs in his last 5 games. Meanwhile, Alshon Jeffery (11) had his 4th 100 yard game in the past 6 games. Even with McCown, he is still a top 20 WR. Brandon Pettigrew (7) caught all five of his targets for 70 yards. Still its hard to see him as a reliable option week to week. Reggie Bush (11) had a good day despite just 14 carries. Matt Forte (4) suffered by far his worst game, and his first with fewer than 10 points on the season. Not sure if there is any particular reason why it happened at this point, but I'm not concerned going forward either.

Eagles @ Packers

Nick Foles (21) has now gone from "Is he for real" to "Must-own" as he is now at nearly Peyton Manning-esque stats of 16 touchdowns to 0 interceptions. No he isn't Peyton Manning but there is no reason he can't be a top 10 guy the rest of the way. I'd rather have him over Matt Ryan for sure. Has LeSean McCoy's (15) value taking somewhat of a hit with Foles in? Not really, but he's also not putting up huge numbers like he did in the early part of the season with Vick. Yes, 155 yards is huge, but with a traditional passer, they looked to pass in the redzone and for some reason, McCoy was not a part of that. Riley Cooper (22) and DeSean Jackson (14) both had great games on just 5 targets. I suppose its crazy to say Cooper will be better the rest of the season but Cooper has more points in Nick Foles Starts. Eddie Lacy (8) wasn't great, but its hard to be great (save for AP) when the defense puts all of their focus on you. I expect Scott Tolzien won't be as successful next week when the defenses plan for him and not the mobility of Seneca Wallace. Jarrett Boykin (11) played very well, but I will probably be ranking him onl as a flex option next week. And almost definitely above James Jones (4).

Jaguars @ Titans

Not really much to say about this game, but hey the Jags got a win! Maurice Jones-Drew (13) looked really bad, but got in the endzone so he outscored a lot of other guys. The Titans have been a team excellent a shutting down receivers and week 10 was no different. No Jags receiver was relevant. The big surprise to me was that Cecil Shorts (4) was hardly targeted. Having been a leader in targets even with Justin Blackmon, that was a big surprise, but a credit to the Titans defense again. Another big surprise was the huge lack of anything in the Titans run game. It just goes to show you really can't expect much of anything from Chris Johnson (7) but 5 catches for 43 yards was nice enough to save it from complete awfulness. Kendall Wright (7) continues to be a pretty reliable WR3 and Delanie Walker (12) is a good play based on matchups.

Rams @ Colts

I would argue this game was a bigger surprise than the previous game. Not only did the Colts lose, but they got dominated. At home! The Rams and in particular Robert Quinn put Andrew Luck (13) under massive pressure all day. It was the first game this season he had thrown more than one pick. In addition to the pressure, they had nothing in the run game again, as neither Trent Richardson or Donald Brown could get...anything going on the ground. Brown was able to do some damage in the passing game, getting 60+ yards and a TD, but its hard to start either at all. T.Y. Hilton (13) is a beast with super speed, should be a top 15 play the rest of the season. For the Rams, the most notable performance was Tavon Austin (31) who led all WRs in fantasy scoring. He is very talented, but I'm not buying at all. All of his yards came on his two touchdown catches. He only had one other target. And then you can't rely on punt return TDs either. Zac Stacy (12) got a ton of carries, but really didn't do much with them. He is on bye next, he should still be a top-12 play ROS after the bye. Even if he isn't the most talented guy, tons of carries will make him a must start. Chris Givens (5) now has three straight games with 5+ points. Definitely roster worthy for deeper leagues again.

Raiders @ Giants

Terrelle Pryor (9) got a rushing touchdown, but it was his worst performance to date. He faced a lot of pressure all game and couldn't make too many throws. Eli Manning (7) looked terrible. If you can't start him here, can you start him anywhere? He is owned in way too many leagues. The big surprise of this game was both running backs. Lets start with Andre Brown (17). He wasn't supposed to see a ton of time, but when Peyton Hillis gave up an easy fumble very early on, it became the Andre Brown show. He got a massive 30 carries in his first game! He only averaged 3.8 YPC but I thought he looked good doing so. Definitely an RB2 going forward. On the other side, Rashad Jennings (10) tore up the same defense that had just held LeSean McCoy and Adrian Peterson to very few points. If McFadden is out again (and I think he will be), Jennings is a solid flex option next week. Denarius Moore (4) was a pretty big disappointment. He got his share of targets with 9, but he only had 3 catches and two costly drops. He's still the clear #1 on a team with few receiving options, so I still like him going forward. On the other side of the ball it was a similar story for Victor Cruz (3) who also had 3 catches despite a lot of targets (10). Cruz has been a major disappointment after a big start, but I remain confident he will produce big soon. Hakeem Nicks (4) actually caught all four of his targets but still only ended up with 49 yards. You have to think he will produce sometime soon, but I am glad I don't own him at all.

Bills @ Steelers

The Steelers defense looked....really good. The problem in this one was that CJ Spiller (3) was not good and Fred Jackson (6) looked considerably better but did not get enough carries. Overall the Bills didn't total enough yards for anyone to be relevant. Stevie Johnson (4) had only 3 catches on 10 targets left the game with an injury and is questionable for next week. Le'Veon Bell (14) continues to give consistent fantasy production even when he can't it going on the ground. He has had at least 18 touches in every single game. Antonio Brown (10) had another solid day. He's not going to have many touchdowns, but he is a ppr machine. Jerricho Cotchery (9) had another touchdown, but I'm not buying.

Bengals @ Ravens

The notable play here was a hail mary to AJ Green (21) that saved Andy Dalton's (14) day. Giovani Bernard (14) looked great and actually had the bulk of RB carries. Marvin Jones (1) regressed and had only 1 catch on 7 targets. Partly Dalton's fault of course. As the main tight end, Tyler Eifert (5) got 10 targets, but only managed 3 catches and 55 yards. Torrey Smith (10) didn't have many catches or yards, but he got in the endzone for a solid day. The ground game was completely irrelevant. I want no part of Ray Rice (5) whatsoever. Joe Flacco (7) was even worse than normal.

Panthers @ 49ers

Another ugly fantasy game. Two mobile QBs that did virtually nothing. Cam Newton doubled his opposing quarterback...with 5 points. That is compared to Colin Kaepernick's (2) of course. I was cautiously high on both, but defense prevailed here. The #1 running back for each team did alright. DeAngelo Williams (10) found the endzone on a really impressive run. It should be noted that Jonathan Stewart (4) actually saw most of the work. Meanwhile, Frank Gore (10) got over the 100 total yard mark so that speaks a lot for how good he is. This is one of the toughest defenses. The highest receiver for either team was Steve Smith (6). He and Anquan Boldin (2) are both very low ceiling players at this point and you are hoping for a touchdown. No thanks.

Texans @ Cardinals

Case Keenum (19) is now at 7 touchdowns without an interception to start his career. Of course the team is 0-3 in those games, but from a fantasy standpoint, Keenum has made himself and Andre Johnson (15) very relevant. Andre now has 5 touchdowns in the last two games. That won't keep up, but he is a great play every week. DeAndre Hopkins (6) actually led the team in catches and receiving yards at 6 & 69. He is a promising WR3. I really thought Garrett Graham would be a breakout for this game but his targets went down and he did almost nothing. He is droppable. Ben Tate (5) got a lot of touches but didn't do much. I like him better going forward. On the other side, Bruce Arians continues to frustrate fantasy players as Rashard Mendenhall (2) got the bulk of carries but did nothing and fumbled. Andre Ellington (7) looked much better. In the receiving game, Andre Roberts (13) ended up being the leading receiver. Larry Fitzgerald (2) continued to do nothing and its hard to feel good about him in any game ever.

Broncos @ Chargers

Peyton Manning (27) was dominant again. This week Demaryius Thomas (28) was the favorite target. Wes Welker (2) was extremely quiet, but no worries at all. Knowshon Moreno (11) didn't score but it was a good game again anyway. Philip Rivers (12) was average. He really hasn't been great after the beginning of the season. Ryan Mathews (11) and Danny Woodhead (9) split touches pretty evenly, both continue to be successful and I want Woodhead more going forward. Keenan Allen (4) had a dud, but I still like him a lot. I would try to buy low if someone is disappointed.

Cowboys @ Saints

Well this was an ugly game. Drew Brees (31) absolutely tore apart the Cowboys defense. And all three RBs were also good. Wait, three? Yep, Mark Ingram had 21 points. But no, you don't want him going forward. He is still #3 on the depth chart. It was nice to see Darren Sproles (18) back in this game. I had someone try to tell me that Pierre Thomas (22) overtook him as the receiving back. Not true at all. They tied in targets here, and excluding the Jets game where Sproles left after his first touch, Sproles had more targets in the previous two games as well. Marques Colston (16) had a good game. I'm not really feeling confident in him, but I do still own him in one league. I can't really see myself starting him, so maybe if you can trade him, go for it. For the Cowboys, everyone stunk beside DeMarco Murray (14). I'm not worried about Dez Bryant (4). Jason Witten (2) continues his trend of playing well at home and pretty awful on the road. It is a bit worrisome. He is still probably your best TE option if you own him.
