\"Tom<\/a>Each week in this space I review players who are ranked outside the top 10 for QB’s and TE’s and top 20 for WR’s.\u00a0 Basically this is who I think will flourish and who will disappoint this upcoming week. \u00a0I do not review those ranked higher since they are probably highly drafted and unable to be benched especially with the lack of depth a RB.\u00a0 This is the last of the big bye weeks.\u00a0 Last week was alright, I went 4-4 in the Play them and 6-3 in the Bench them.\u00a0 We have bye week filled with Denver, Detroit, NY Giants, Arizona, San Francisco, Jacksonville being off.\u00a0 \u00a0I will be away on vacation next week out of the country and will be back for week 11. Let\u2019s get to this week.<\/p>\n

Play Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Terrelle Pryor\u00a0 (11) \u2013 He is a very shaky passer but with his running and the Eagles defense he should have a top 6 kind of day.<\/p>\n

Jake Locker (14)- The Rams have actually been solid against QB\u2019s in fantasy scoring but with week off and as well as he was playing,\u00a0 I can see a top 10 kind of game.<\/p>\n

Giovanni Bernard (20)- The 28th Dolphins run defense should be the cure to his struggles.<\/p>\n

Mike Tolbert (29)- He is not a sexy name but is a solid bye week fill in against the 16th<\/sup> ranked fantasy defense vs the run.<\/p>\n

Alshon Jeffrey (20)- Off a bye week, he is due a breakout against the 15h ranked defense against receivers.<\/p>\n

Kendall Wright (31)- He is averaging 8 targets a week and gets to play on turf, should have a good week.<\/p>\n

Lance Moore (35)- He came back strong last week with a TD and the Jets are surprisingly shaky versus receivers ranking 24th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Kyle Rudolph (12)- Going back to Freeman many not be good for him but the Cowboys have been awful vs tight ends this year ranking 28th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Bench Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alex Smith\u00a0 (12) \u2013 \u00a0His points are on a downward trend plus being on the road mean a below average game for him.<\/p>\n

Tom Brady (13)- He has been struggling and now gets the #2 fantasy defense against QB\u2019s .<\/p>\n

Steven Jackson (24)- He has the 11th<\/sup> ranked run defense and looked like he was running in quick sand, he is done.<\/p>\n

Mike James (27)- The Seahawks 7th<\/sup> ranked run defense plus a blowout equals not enough points.<\/p>\n

Mike Wallace (23)- Yes he is home but continues to not be a main target and the Bengals are 12th<\/sup> vs receivers.<\/p>\n

Dwayne Bowe (24)- There is nothing that could make me start him\u00a0 even against the 32nd<\/sup> ranked defense vs receivers.<\/p>\n

Marques Colston (25)- He is living by reputation now and even though has a nice matchup , he seems to e invisible on Sunday\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Heath Miller (13)- He had an awful drop in the end zone last week and gets a stingy Patriots defense ranked\u00a0 10th<\/sup> versus tight ends.<\/p>\n

Sorry for the short list but the picking were slim this week.\u00a0 Thanks for reading and please free to ask any questions on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
