Yeah I know, Tony Romo is great. He’s an all american guy, awesome QB, boning dating Jessica Simpson, and he puts up fantasy numbers. But, I really think the cowboys are overrated. Also they are playing in one of the toughest divisions right now. What does this mean? They are playing catchup and the cowboys will crack under the pressure. T.O.’s biological clock for self-destructing will (more…)

Most likely if you were alive in your suicide league Week 10 then you are still there this week. Albeit with a bit of a scare from the Chargers.

Miami at home vs Oakland - Mark it down. I would not be surprised if Oakland did not win a game the remainder of the year. Andrew Walter faired no better than Jamarcus Russell last week vs Carolina. I do not expect Oakland to be able to stop Ronnie Brown and Co especially with how well they are playing. This is also a good pick because I’m gunna go out on a limb and say you probably have Miami as an option this week.

Indianapolis at home vs Houston - Indianapolis is 11-1 vs Houston all time. Although most of those are with David Carr at QB for Houston do you really think Sage Rosenfels is any better?

Carolina at home vs Detroit - I started to type a large paragraph about how I was only off one week with Daunte Culpepper and this will be the week he breaks out and surprises….but I just couldn’t do it. Detroit will not go 0-16 this season but this is not the week they get their first win. Jake Delhomme did his best JaMarcus Russell imitation last week but will recover and Carolina will give Detroit its 10th straight loss.

GAMES YOU THINK MIGHT BE A LOCK……THINK AGAIN

Philadelphia away at Cincinnati - Definite trap game. “Philadelphia needs this win to stay in the playoff race” is what a lot of you are thinking. Did it ever come to any of you that maybe Philly is just not as good as everyone thought they were? Cincinnati hasn’t exactly been blown out all season, except by Houston and Pitt which just happen to be their last two games….erroneous. They are at home and also coming off a bye week and had extra time to prepare for Philly…..not that I have any faith in Marvin Lewis, but still. Don’t do it!

New Orleans away at Kansas City - 1, 3, 4. Those are the amount of points the Chiefs have lost by their last three games. 24, 34, 14, 24 is how much they have lost by the 4 games before that….including a 15 point loss to the Raiders week 2. All this means is that Kansas City has improved. Tyler Thigpen has been not just decent but good.

All the other games are pretty close so I figure you will be picking from these. Any other questions go ahead and email jon@rotodorks.com.

Week 10 Players to Watch

QB

1. Kurt Warner - Huge game against sub par San Francisco D

2. Drew Brees - Thinking 2 weeks is enough time to figure out how to carve up the Atlanta Defense.

3. Philip Rivers - 3 Nice games in a row will easily become 4 after Sunday vs Kansas City.

4. Brett Favre - Yea he throws a lot of picks…but he’s playing the Rams. The RAMS!

5. Aaron Rodgers - The way to beat Minnesota is through the air. Really like Jennings here.

6. Matt Ryan - Not playing like a rookie thats for sure.

7. Chad Pennington - Who would have thought he would make the top 10 list at any point during the season.

8. Jake Delhomme - Huge boner just thinking about Delhomme vs Oakland.

9. Donovan McNabb - If he can stay off his back he should be fine. Lots of receiving yards for Westbrook this game.

10. David Gerrard - Detroit sucks.

RUNNING BACKS

1. Ladanian Tomlinson- LDT - Coming off his first 100 yard game in Week 9 there are more big things to come vs KC.

2. Adrian Peterson - Theo nly way GB would have a change of stopping the run is if they went to Gilbert Brown’s house with a crane, knocked down a wall, drove him to the stadium, and planted him on the defensive line.

3. Brian Westbrook - He will do well if he doesnt break a rib, sprain an ankle, catch the flu, break an arm, break a nail, cut himself while shaving.

4. Michael Turner - Runs wild vs bad teams and New Orleans should be no different.

5. DeAngelo Williams - After Carolina is up 21-0 in the first quarter it will be time to put the ball on the ground the rest of the game.

6. Frank Gore - I actually don’t really like him that much this week. They are going to be losing by a lot so at least he is in line for some WR check down yards.

7. Tim Hightower - I think after last week it is fair to say he is pretty good, and the number 1 option in Arizona.

8. Thomas Jones - It’s all about matchups, and he has a good one.

9. Maurice Jones-Drew - See “Jones, Thomas.”

10. Tie - Chris Johnson/Ronnie Brown - Don’t like either of these but you can’t get away from starting them. They both play opponents who can’t stop the pass.

WIDE RECEIVERS

1. Anquan Boldin - Many, many TD’s the last few weeks. More here.

2. Steve Smith - Ok so I may have thought that Smith was not going to be that good this year. My fault. They play the Raiders….how can anyone be a Raider fan with Al Davis as the owner?

3. Andre Johnson - Sage is not that bad. He played ok last year. Plus they throw a lot.

4. Roddy White - Matt Ryan’s favorite target.

5. Gregg Jennings - Driver’s numbers last week = Jenning’s numbers this week.

6. Larry Fitzgerald - He would be higher but Boldin is stealing all his TD’s. Why don’t more players pull guys down by their dreads? I would do that all the time.

7. Dewayne Bowe - Imagine if he was on a good team.

8. Calvin Johnson - I like him a lot. Not sure if its because I think Daunte will go deep to him a lot, or because I’m wishing that he will go deep to him. Too much talk of two large men going deep with eachother.

9. Laveraneus Coles - This game could get ugly.

10. Marques Colston - Call it a hunch…..

TIGHT ENDS

1. Antonio Gates - Why are TE’s so bad this year? So hard to find a solid one.

2. Tony Gonzalez - I never saw Tyler Thigpen play at the beginning of the year but by looknig at the box score I thought it was one of those things where the Chiefs were letting a retarded kid play, like that high school basketball team did awhile back. Ok the kid wasn’t retarded he had a learnign disabiilty…tomato tomahto.

3. Dallas Clark

4. Owen Daniels

5. Anthony Fasano - Seattle gets beat by the pass, and every other way.

6. Bo Scaife

7. Greg Olsen

8. Kevin Boss - He can catch a TD pass. Can’t say that about many Tight Ends this year.

9. Viasoufsduiofhasuh Shiansodnaou - However you spell his name. The TE from Minnesota.

10. Jeremy Shockey - If the little bitch can finally get over his ball injury maybe he can catch a pass? Score some points? Help me out here?

Defense

1.Tennessee - They get to face Rex Grossman

2. Carolina

3. Jacksonville

4. Baltimore

5. Pittsburgh

6. Giants

7. Bears

8. Jets

9. Packers

10. Chargers

Kickers

1. Don’t be stupid. I’m not ranking kickers.

Brady Quinn will start for the browns tonight.  It is also likely that Roy Zimmerman Daunte Culpepper will be starting for the lions this week. The question is who is the better start.  To start, if you are picking between these two you are: 1) fucked; 2) in the same position I am in a few leagues.

Both have excellent targets, Braylon and Calvin Johnson respectively.  But Quinn is so hyped that I feel he will be doomed to choke tonight, browns fans deserve and expect nothing less.  Also Braylon has a serious pass dropping problem.  The Denver defense, however, is horrible.  The lions will be going against the Jags.  Big John Henderson may be limited or hurt for this game which is great for the lions but their D is still more solid than Denver.

I have to go with Quinn here.  Jamal Lewis is due for a game, and its not hard to have a good one against Denver.  The run game will help the pass, and Quinn playing should give the team a shot in the arm. Culpepper will be adjusting to a new offense, he may be good a week or two from now.  But, you really don’t need to know a playbook when you can just throw it near Calvin Johnson.

If you really need a QB, I would check out - Kyle Orton who will likely be back in a week and has been dropped in many leagues.
