Key Fantasy Football Pickups for Week 10

Tannehill, Ryan (QB, MIA) – Tannehill threw for 290 yards and a touchdown last week against the Colts. It was a solid performance from him. He has been outstanding at home. Luckily, the Titans have allowed the third most points against quarterbacks making Tannehill a good start in Week 10.

Fitzpatrick, Ryan (QB, BUF) – Tom Brady and the patriot offense is going to exploit the weak Buffalo defense likely putting the Bills in a early hole. Fitzpatrick will have to throw the ball a lot on Sunday which will give him an opportunity to put up a lot of fantasy points.

Ballard, Vick (RB, IND) – Ballard carried for 16 times for 60 yards and caught three passes for 38 yards last week. Donald Brown was active but didn’t receive a carry, which could change this week. However, Ballard should be productive against the Jaguars defense that has allowed third most points against running backs.

Reece, Marcel (RB, OAK) – Reece caught eight passes for 95 yards with a touchdown last week. Both McFadden and Goodson seem questionable to play this week, so Reece could be a starting running back. The Ravens running defense has been struggling, so if Reece gets majority of carries, he should be productive.

Wells, Beanie (RB, ARI) – Great news for Wells! He is targeting to come back on the field in Week 12 against the Rams and is likely to take over the starting running back role. He should fill in fine for any fantasy owners who need the help at running back.

Richardson, Daryl (RB, STL) ?- Not a great matchup this week against the 49ers, however, Richardson has been more productive than Steven Jackson. Unfortunately Jackson wasn’t dealt, so Richardson’s work is limited.

Amendola, Danny (WR, STL) – Amendola is close to come back to the field this week. Once he is healthy, he will get Sam Bradford’s attention. Amendola should be a good boost for wide receiver position for many fantasy owners.

Hilton, T.Y. (WR, IND) – Hilton caught six passes for 102 yards with a touchdown. As the Colts offense focus more on passing, Hilton’s fantasy value increases. He led the team with 11 targets last week. Keep an eye on Hilton.

Gresham, Jermaine (TE, CIN) – Gresham caught six passes for 108 yards and was targeted eight times. The Bengals have been focusing on passing heavily as of late which is likely to continue against the Giants this week.

Chandler, Scott (TE, BUF) – When the Bills played the Patriots earlier this season; Chandler caught four passes for 62 yards with two touchdowns. This game is likely to feature a lot of passing which bodes well for Chandler.

Keller, Dustin (TE, NYJ) – Keller has been involved in a big part of the Jets offense in the past two games (14 receptions for 160 yards with a touchdown) and this is likely to continue.

New England Patriots D/ST – The Patriots defense has been decent this season and particularly better at home. The Bills are not the easiest opponent, but the Patriots should be alright.
