Week #10 is in the books and fantasy football teams are looking forward to week #11. There is a lot to discuss this week so let’s jump right in to the action.

Bye Week

Teams with bye weeks are the Steelers, Browns, Saints, and Giants. This is the last week of byes. Don’t be the guy in your league that starts a player that is sitting home drinking beer on Sunday.

Mismatches

Panthers vs. Redskins, and Broncos vs. Bears, although the Broncos are starting to cool down.

There are a lot of even matches this week that could go either way. Make sure to look at individual players against the teams that they are facing. A team may have a strong defense, but have problems covering a TE. Your WR may be going against the best corner in the league. Be sure to look at individual matchups.

A good game from a fan standpoint will be the Bengals vs. Cardinals. Two strong teams will make for some exciting football.

Quarterbacks

How many teams put Big Ben on the bench last week? Smart play was to bench him. OUCH!

Palmer is coming off a strong week, however he faces a stout Bengals defense that has allowed the third fewest points per game. Ranked at #3? I am not so sure. Not saying you should not start him. Just saying this is a tough matchup for Palmer and you will really need to see whom else you have available.

Last week was tough for those that started Dalton. He had a season low points production. He is the most consistent quarterback in the NFL so a good assumption is that he will bounce back against the Cardinals.

Newton is an easy start, but this week should be a point’s explosion for him against a crappy Redskin’s defense.

Do you start Romo this week? Supposedly his collarbone is 100% healed and he is going against a crummy Dolphins defense that is weak against the pass. If your bummed about the 28 fantasy points he has produced this year it may be time for redemption. However, I have to scold you if you still have him. Dallas will not make the playoffs, so if your preparing your team for the final run you should have gotten rid of Romo a long time ago.

Running Backs

After scoring 27 points last week, Peterson missed some practice this week. Should you be scared that he has an unreported injury? I don’t think so and he is going against a Packer’s defense that has lately been giving up touchdowns.

Stewart against the Redskins is stab at mediocrity. Look for other options.

Lynch is ranked 5^th against a weak 49ers defense, but this seems like an optimistic ranking. Lynch is fighting an abdominal injury, hasn’t practiced much this week, and is a game time decision. A lot to risk, for not a lot of gain. Look to find better options for your fantasy team.
