Fantasy Football: Five Things To Watch For in Week 10

Hey Guys! Fantasy Football Week 9 is officially in the books and we’re about to head into Week 10!  Lets dive into what we should watch for heading into the NFL Slate this weekend!

Fantasy Football Five Things for Week 10: #BellWatch!

Now, the Pittsburgh Steelers game is not on our Sunday Slate but it’s too fun to pass up. Le’Veon Bell has until November 14th to show up to the Steelers camp and sign his franchise tag or he won’t get paid for anything.

Now, we assume that he is heading towards the offices as he tweeted out “Goodbye Miami”, his “off-season” home spot but we actually don’t know if he’s showing up. Tomlin said he needs players to want to play and that most likely hints that Bell won’t even see the field this season because James Conner has been outstanding!

The stats are there to prove that he has put up very similar numbers to Bell. Now, if something crazy happens and Bell does sign his tag, which we all expect, that is the only way he sees the field. Expect to see Bell in his Steelers Jersey soon but not by the Thursday Night Showdown Slate.

Fantasy Football Five Things for Week 10: Can Adrian Peterson Survive?

Adrian Peterson has been on a comeback this season but things may have changed dramatically. The Washington Redskins have had to make major changes to their offensive line with the season ending injuries to Brandon Scherff and Shawn Lauvao, the main people that Peterson runs behind.

This doesn’t hurt most daily fantasy users, just us season long fantasy owners who have Peterson. The best practice here is to avoid rostering Adrian Peterson this week while we see how him and the rest of the Washington Redskins adjust to having new linemen on the offensive line.

Fantasy Football Five Things for Week 10: Is Michael Thomas Back?

The New Orleans Saints welcomed in the Los Angeles Rams this past weekend and handed them their first loss of the season and Michael Thomas played a major role in it. Last week, Michael Thomas caught 12 of the 15 thrown his way for 211 yards and 1 touchdown.

But is Thomas back? He has had a struggling four weeks before last season but with the momentum from beating the Rams, he should continue the dominance we were once used too.

But also another sign, to be determined good or bad, the New Orleans Saints are bringing in Dez Bryant for a workout which could help take some focus and pressure off of Michael Thomas, helping the Saints out in a major way.

Fantasy Football Five Things for Week 10: Can Matt Ryan Continue His Momentum Against Cleveland?

You wouldn’t think this would be something to watch for as the Atlanta Falcons go on to face the Cleveland Browns. But the Browns do have a pretty strong pass defense and with Matt Ryan, we never know what to get.

He can have some good games and bad games so we can never fully lock him in. Over the past 4 weeks, Ryan has scored 15.4, 30.5, 22.26, and 32 fantasy points. Matt Ryan is at 19 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions on the season and he finally found Julio Jones on a play that got Jones in for his first touchdown on the season.

We’re in Week 10, that’s a shocker alone. The Browns do allow 285 yards through the air but with a new coaching staff slowly coming in and getting on the same page, the team may bounce back as they have the players there to be at least decent or a little bit above average.

If Matt Ryan can find Julio Jones once again this Sunday, expect the two to get back to their chemistry ways and find the end-zone multiple times.

Fantasy Football Five Things for Week 10: The Tight End That Probably Won’t Exploit Tampa Bay

This Sunday may be a day where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers don’t get exploited by a tight end. Jordan Reed is battling some injuries that just won’t go away and with a new revamped offensive line, things may get really bad for the Redskins.

Adrian Peterson may struggle to find ways to run, causing Alex Smith to feel the pressure and making costly mistakes. This might actually be the weekend where Tampa Bay’s defense comes into play and gets thrown on the roster.

Jordan Reed is averaging 43 yards per game but he just can’t find the end-zone which he has only done once this season and that was in Week 1. Alex Smith does target him but that may all change this weekend. Like I said, this Tampa Bay defense may just have the upper hand finally as everything is going wrong with this Washington’s offense.
