| WEEK 10 |
| QUARTERBACKS - Week 10 highlights numerous quarterback movements. Matt Schaub is out for 2-4 weeks and will be replaced by Sage Rosenfels. Brady Quinn finally gets the start over Derek Anderson in a short week against a poor Denver secondary. Kyle Orton is out for a month leaving the Bears with Rex Grossman. The Lions lose Dan Orlovsky so you may see Daunte Culpepper sooner than expected. Shaun Hill gets the nod for San Francisco against Arizona on Monday night. For fantasy purposes, the order of value: Rosenfels, Quinn, Hill, Grossman, Culpepper.

| RUNNING BACKS - The Ravens sat Willis McGahee and Ray Rice responded with 154 yards on the ground and another 22 through the air. There is no word on who will be this week’s starter, but Rice should eat into McGahee’s workload. Jamaal Charles ran 18 times for 106 yards against Tampa Bay. Kolby Smith is out for the year and Larry Johnson’s troubles are well documented, so he certainly can be on the radar. Denver lost both Michael Pittman and Andre Hall for the year. It’s Ryan Torain’s turn to crack the Bronco RB code. Maurice Morris (8 carries / 43 yards) and Julius Jones (10 carries / 41 yards) had a true timeshare in week 9, which will likely be the case for the rest of the season.

| WIDE RECEIVERS - A pair of veterans led the way in Week 9. Donald Driver hauled in 7 passes for 136 yards and a TD while Derrick Mason caught 9 balls for 136 yards and a TD. Both players showed little more than WR3 status this year, but it’s nice to see some signs of life. Ted Ginn Jr followed up a monster 176-yard effort with a more typical line of 3 catches for 38 yards. He's a boom or bust type of player. The best Dolphin receiver has been Greg Camarillo who was averaging 5 catches in his last 4 games before his 11-reception output in week 9. Shaun McDonald posted back-to-back games totaling 10 catches and 133 yards. Unfortunately, he’ll have to adjust to another new QB.

|
| TIGHT ENDS - Brent Celek filled in nicely for LJ Smith catching 6 passes for 131 yards. It was against a poor Seahawk secondary, and he hadn’t caught more than 2 passes in a game before the stellar effort. Michael Gaines also jumped his normal production with 6 catches for 64 yards. He did lose a fumble in the game.
|
|
| KICKERS - The Chiefs’ rookie Connor Barth is 3 for 3 in his 2 games this season. Dan Carpenter connected on 4 FGs last week giving him 2 straight weeks with at least 4 attempts.
|
|
| DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS - Considering Oakland’s dismal offense, owners have to consider using Carolina against them this week. Jacksonville will be all over a rusty Daunte Culpepper. |
