Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers battle in what could be a high scoring contest in week 10


Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers battle in what could be a high scoring contest next week in the NFL. Meanwhile the Dallas Cowboys with Tony Romo travel to New Orleans to take on Drew Brees and the Saints. These are just a few of the great fantasy matchups taking place around the NFL.

 

All four of these quarterbacks rank in the top six in the NFL in passing yards. Matthew Stafford and Andy Dalton round out the top six and both have favorable matchups in week 10 as well. Dalton and the Bengals go up against a struggling Baltimore Ravens team. Stafford and the Detroit Lions take on NFC North rivals the Chicago Bears.

 

Top Fantasy Quarterbacks For Week 10:

Drew Brees – The Saints quarterback is on pace for another 5,000 yard passing season as well as over 40 touchdown passes. This week he should have an opportunity to make plays going against a Cowboys team that has allowed over 20 points a game to opposing quarterbacks.

 

Ben Roethlisberger -The Steelers have a very favorable matchup against the Buffalo Bills at home. The Bills are in the middle of the pact in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks but have allowed the most passing touchdowns in the NFL with 20.

 

Top Fantasy Wide Receivers For Week 9:

 

Antonio Brown – The one thing going right for the Steelers this season is the play of Brown in the passing game. Brown has 61 catches for 701 yards but only three touchdown receptions. Over the last five games Brown pulled in at least five catches per game and 50 yards per game.

Wes Welker – The Broncos travel to San Diego to take on a Chargers team that allowed 172 yards to Pierre Garcon in week 9. Welker along with the other two wide receivers should all have good games against a Chargers team that has allowed the seventh most fantasy points to wide receivers.

 

Top Running Backs For Week 9:

 

Chris Johnson – In week 9, Johnson ran for 150 yards and two touchdowns in the Titans 28-21 victory over the St. Louis Rams. Johnson has another chance for a big game in week 10 going up against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has allowed the second most fantasy points to running backs.

 

Adrian Peterson – Peterson and the Vikings face off against another NFC East opponent the Washington Redskins in week 10. The Redskins have allowed the most fantasy points to the running back position with nearly 22 points a game. This is perfect timing as Peterson put together a solid game last week rushing for 140 yards and a touchdown.

 

Top Tight Ends For Week 9:

 

Jimmy Graham – The Saints take on the Cowboys in week 10 in what should be a high scoring game with both teams throwing the ball a lot. The Cowboys are allowing nearly ten points a game to the tight end position.

 

Jordan Reed – Reed goes up against a Vikings defense that allowed eight catches for 102 yards and a touchdown to Jason Witten in week 9. Reed is becoming a viable threat and a main target of Robert Griffin III.

 

Breakout Player For Week 9:

Maurice Jones-Drew – Now most the time breakout stars are not big name players but he has yet to have a big game. This week he gets a shot at a Titans defense that allowed over 100 yards and two touchdowns to the Rams in week 9.
