32 'mostly' Facts for 32 Teams.

1) With Drew Stanton under center, John Brown is the most productive Cardinal WR this season.
2) Julio Jones & Roddy White have the same amount of double-digit performances this season (4).
3) Since the start of week 5, Justin Forsett has 25 more carries than Bernard Pierce and Lorenzo Taliaferro COMBINED.
4) Anthony Dixon out-touched Bryce Brown by 11 over the past two weeks with Fred Jackson out/limited respectively. Barring a Brown fumble lost, he & Dixon would have been tied for total points with 10. That averages out to 5 points per game a piece. Neither is good, but Brown is better. Jackson is back this week and that makes both bad. Drop Dixon.
5) Jonathan Stewart is the RB to own in Carolina.
6) Alshon Jeffery has scored 17 points over the past three weeks. Brandon Marshall scored 17 points in week 10. Think somebody is in Cutler's ear?
7) Three different Cleveland RB's scored a TD in week 10. Some may think that's a good thing. I don't.
8) Andy Dalton has scored more than 19 points...not once this season.
9) Dez Bryant has scored 8 TD over the past 9 weeks, including 2 last week in London.
10) There is room in Detroit for Golden Tate even when Megatron is healthy. Start him EVERY week.
11) Demaryius Thomas & Emmanuel Sanders each have 6 receiving TD on the season. Add them together and you get the number of times Julius Thomas has found paydirt.
12) Randall Cobb has the most receiving TD by any WR through week 10. Among those tied for 2nd is his teammate Jordy Nelson with 8.
13) Andre Johnson hasn't reached 100 yards receiving this season, and has scored just 1 TD. Enter the week 10 Ryan Mallett chemistry experiment. Stay tuned for more mediocrity.
14) Dwayne Allen has 7 rec TD compared to Coby Fleener's 4. There have been four weeks which Allen recorded a TD and Fleener did not, three which both TE scored, and only one in which Fleener scored without Allen doing the same.
15) Zero, Zilch, Nein, None, NO Jacksonville WR should be on any roster anywhere, at anytime.
16) Knile Davis is arguably the most valuable handcuff in fantasy football. If you've rostered him this long, don't drop him. If you do...well...you know.
17) Lamar Miller's AC joint sprain isn't healing anytime soon, and while he says it feels "good", his lowly 1 point last week on 11 snaps speaks "not good". Damien Williams (not Daniel Thomas and his 1 and -1 performances respectively in back-to-back weeks) looks like a decent add in deep leagues.
18) Norv Turner used to run the offensive show in San Diego. Now he does the same thing in Minnesota. Quick analogy for you...Mike Tolbert WAS to Ryan Matthews as Matt Asiata IS to Jerick McKinnon. Norv Turner hates fantasy football. Deploy (if you wish) each with that knowledge.
19) Tom Brady's average per game total for the previous five weeks looks like this...320/3.5/26.5 FP.
20) Mark Ingram's APGT for the previous three weeks...110/1/19.5 FP.
21) Odell Beckham Jr. has recorded double-digit fantasy days in 4/5 games since his week 5 NFL debut. Kid is real good.
22) New York Jets- team colors are green & white...members of AFC East...yah I got nothing.
23) Mychal Rivera has 3 TD in his last two games. He is averaging 7 rec and 11.5 FPPG over his past three.
24) Darren Sproles has 4 rushing TD this season. LeSean McCoy has 2 total TD. J.J. What?! Watt has 3.
25) Martavis Bryant has recorded 66 points, including six TD over the past four weeks. 6 + 4 = 10 which is his jersey number. Cool? Eh whatever.
26) Philip Rivers scored -3 points his last time out in week 9. Nobody remembers though because Andy Dalton matched him four days later. Off a bye week & home vs OAK, I bet Dalton isn't the only reason his week 9 dud becomes forgotten history.
27) Steven Hauschka (K) has recored a total of 29 fantasy points the past three weeks. Over that same span, WR's Doug Baldwin & Jermaine Kearse have combined for 20.
28) Vernon Davis hasn't scored a TD or more than 3 points since WEEK 1. Stay away.
29) Jared Cook has 8 rec & 18 fantasy points over the past four weeks. Don't let his first TD of the season fool you into starting him. He probably doesn't do it again in 2014. Rams O is in shambles.
30) Mike Evans went 7/124/2 (24 FP) in week 9 with Mike Glennon at QB. He went 7/125/1 (18 FP) in week 10 with Josh McCown at QB. Start him every week from here on out.
31) See 15) and apply not only to WR, but to every Titans fantasy option.
32) If there were ever a week to start RG three or 3 or 111 or whatever Washington fans are calling/spelling him these days, it's week eleven vs the Bucs. With an extra week to get back in the swing via the bye, RG makes for an intriguing play against a horrible pass D. Enjoy. This could be as good as it ever gets.

Roll 'em Out!

Week 10!

QB - Matt Ryan (Atl)
Coming off of a bye week and facing the same Bucs defense I mentioned in week 9, Matty-Ice is a no-brainer top 5 QB play this week. Ryan has been pretty average if not underwhelming this season, having posted only two 20+ point performances. The first was his week 1 shellacking of the Saints, followed by yep you guessed it, Tampa in week 3 (286/3). Look for similar output this week as the Falcons attempt to right the ship this second half of the season.

RB - Jeremy Hill (Cin)
Yah yah, I know...I highlighted him last week but the kid is nice. Same deal this week with no Gio and facing a really bad run D. Short week so be sure to have him active tomorrow night vs them Brownies.

WR - Julio Jones (Atl)
Not like you aren't gonna start the man, but JJ has smoldered a bit and I feel it my duty to light a fire here. Over the past 5 weeks, Ryan's top target has recorded a total of 34 points in standard scoring leagues. The week before five weeks ago was week 3 (a lot of numbers here, stay with me), and Jones posted only 6 points less that week than the past five combined. Put down your calculator, it was 28. Twenty-eight! Quick reminder...week 3 came against the Bucs.

TE - Mychal Rivera (Oak)
Wait? Who? Yep. Mychal Rivera from the Raidas. Stat line from the past 2 weeks (@Cle & @ Sea respectively) goes like this - 15/121/2. Nothing changes this week, as Carr will be throwing ALL day with Peyton & friends coming to town. Pick him up!
