Hello and Welcome to Market Fantasy!
Below you will find the updated consistency rankings for
week 10. The ranks are based on a combination of player weekly scoring average
and the standard deviation of the scores. A full description of how the ranks
are calculated can be found here.
As always, the players are listed with the relevant information so you can do
your own research and work with the info how you like.
Week 11 isn’t going to be bad with the byes, but still, the Rams
and Cowboys all have players who are in starting lineups on a fairly regular
basis, some teams more than others.
Week 10 saw a couple of players have outstanding weeks
seemingly out of nowhere. Marques Colston had his first 100 yard game of the
year, complete with a touchdown (on my bench), Riley Cooper continued to
dominate with Nick Foles under center, while Kenny Stills and Jarrett Boykin
also got in on the fun. The story of WRs yesterday, though, had to be Tavon
Austin. Who topped 100 yards with two touchdowns and threw in a kick return TD
for good measure. As good as that game was, I still wouldn’t rush to get Austin
except in deep leagues or keeper/dynasty types. Yesterday’s game helped to
nearly double his per game average on the season (3.6 before, 6.8 after), and
he’s not going to score twice on three targets every game. He still has a
chance to be a very good pro, but don’t expect him to win you any championships
this year. For the running backs, basically every Saints back had a huge day
against the terrible Cowboys defense, Andre Brown had a huge day for the
Giants, and Donald Brown yet again outperformed Trent Richardson. While Brown’s
performance came through the air and definitely not on the ground, he still had
12.4 fantasy points, the only number that matters. Lastly, I wouldn’t break the
bank to go get Mark Ingram. As I noted, all the Saints basically had a field
day against Dallas. He’s still the third option in that offense and won’t get
to face such generous defenses week in and week out.
Alright, let’s get to the pickups!
QB:
Ryan Tannehill: I’ve talked at length about Tannehill
so I’ll keep this short. He isn’t lighting the world on fire, but he’s been
very consistent and solid all year. This week, he has a nice matchup with the
Chargers in what should be a game with a lot of passing opportunities.
Case Keenum: Keenum is another guy I talked about
last week, and he put up another big game. He’s averaging 26 points per game
since taking over, he isn’t afraid to actually use his top 10 WR anywhere on
the field (I know, crazy), and he has a decent matchup with Oakland. You could
do a lot worse for a Romo or Rodgers replacement.
If you’re desperate, I’d take a look at Josh McCown and
Scott Tolzien. Both have performed well coming on for injured starters.
Both have a ton of weapons, and Tolzien especially has a nice matchup this
week.
RB:
Dennis Johnson: Johnson is more of a stash if you
have the bench space, as he isn’t currently the starter. With Arian Foster
likely headed to IR and Ben Tate dealing with four broken ribs, it’s really not
that hard to see a pathway to a starting role for Johnson. With the way the
running back field is looking right now, every avenue needs to be considered,
even if it’s holding a guy so your opponents can’t get him.
Donald Brown: Another game, another Brown
outperformance of Trent Richardson. Neither back got much going on the ground,
but Brown recorded 64 receiving yards and a score, good for 12.4 points. That
will play as a RB2 or flex anywhere. Again, he’s not a clear starter, but with
a nice Tennessee matchup coming up, I see him as no worse than a flex.
Chris Ogbonnaya: Don’t break the bank to get
Ogbonnaya, but stash him just in case. His coach has stated a desire to get him
more work as McGahee just isn’t getting it done. Ogbonnaya has performed pretty
well when called upon this year, so it makes sense to get him more work. Stash
him if you have the bench space as the Browns offense has been improved with
Jason Campbell under center.
With Mike James going down in Tampa Bay, I'd take a flier on Bobby Rainey if you're hurting at RB. Brian Leonard got the start and most of the carries, but Rainey outperformed him and got the score. Leonard has been a career third down back, but Rainey has been dropped by two teams already this year. Rainey is the better player and the best bet in this backfield I think.
WR:
If someone dropped them, Marques Colston and Golden Tate are
the priority adds this week at WR, but here’s some names for depth or a WR3
role.
Kendall Wright: I’ve talked a lot about Wright so far
this year, but he keeps getting targets and keeps putting up WR2/WR3 numbers
and is averaging 7.1 points per game on the year. If he’s still out there, take
a shot on him if you need WR depth.
Rishard Matthews: Matthews had a huge game Monday
against the Buccaneers. I wouldn’t lose it to go get him, but he does have
opportunity and is coming off a game in which he saw 11 targets. It’s not hard
to envision him becoming a solid WR3 or WR2 with upside in PPR. Mike Wallace
isn’t doing anything this year and Tannehill has been very steady.
Kenny Stills: Basically everyone on the Saints had a
good game Sunday (except for Jimmy Graham), but Stills now has double digit
points in 3 of his last 4. He’s probably going to be a boom/bust type guy who
is probably dependent on the big play, but he’s developing a good rapport with
a top 2 QB, so it could be a whole lot worse. Opportunity should be there, and
he should see a lot of man coverage that he can get behind in a hurry.
TE:
Tyler Eifert: Eifert had an opportunity this week
with Jermaine Gresham out, and while he only had 55 yards on 5 catches, he
still had 10 targets. He is a highly touted draft pick who is getting
opportunity. A lot of his value will be tied to Gresham’s injury status, but
with Gresham out, the opportunity is certainly there. I expect him to raise his
catch rate and be a useful piece while he is starting.
