- Week 10 –
Each week, the FANFOOD 3 IN/OUT will not include players that are locks for your starting rosters, just the ones that are considered “fringe” starters and may be outside the TOP 10 at each position.
They are the ones that you may have on the bench or ones that you can find on the waiver wire. Either way, they are the players we think will have a big game for you this week and players that have a tough row to hoe. They are the ones you want to start and players you need to bench. This week we will talk about 6 players that will help or hurt your team in week 10, and a bonus DST that you can plug and play. As always, it’s followed by a great recipe, this time it’s Honey-Herb Brined Pork Prime Rib.
It’s already Week 10 and that means most leagues have just four more weeks until the fantasy playoffs. Which is absolutely mind blowing. It feels like we were speculating only yesterday about what the Marc Trestman and Chip Kelly offenses would look like…about how Reggie Bush, Steven Jackson, Danny Amendola and Wes Welker would perform on their new teams…and would Tom Brady still provide elite production despite the loss of his biggest targets. Well, most of that speculation is behind us, but we still have more speculating to do! Fantasy Playoff speculating! So let’s take a glance at some matchups to avoid and exploit come fantasy playoff time:

Here is a handy NFL Schedule Grid you can refer to throughout the season…
For most leagues, your team needs at least 110 points to have a chance of winning. You never want to concern yourself with what your opponent is doing, just aim to get to this number, hope for more and let the chips fall where they may. To reach this goal you will need (at minimum) 12 points from each of your statring skill positions, over 20 from your QB, more than a few from your kicker and at least 11 from your defense. This is the threshold for the IN/OUT predictions.
Here are the basic league settings that we are basing our predictions on…

QB,2WR,2RB,TE,FLEX (w/r/t), K, DST | |||||
Settings: | |||||

rushing | = | 10 yds/pt | 14-20 | = | 1 |

FANFOOD Streaming Defense of the Week
from thefakefootball: Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars: Pay no mind to the Rams shredding Tennessee on the ground last week. St. Louis’ rsz_tennessee-titansrunning attack is rejuvenated, while Jacksonville’s is as plodding and ineffective as ever.The Jaguars have allowed double-digit points to enemy defenses in three of their four away games, thanks in large part to Chad Henne’s errant throws and myriad miscues. The Titans sport the league’s fifth best pass rush, according to Pro Football Focus, along with a top-4 secondary. The Titans’ cornerbacks and safeties, without Justin Blackmon to worry about, will surely be able to keep Cecil Shorts in check. Tennessee is a locked-and-loaded top-5 Week 10 defensive play. from fansided:
FANFOOD Says: Start over DSTs like the Panthers, Bears and Gmen.
