Week 10 Fantasy Football Duds
Editor’s Note: Get the full breakdown on today’s podcast, and read up on the Week 10 Studs.
Quarterbacks
Tyrod Taylor vs NO
9/18 for 56/0/1 — 3/27/0 rushing
Taylor decided it was the perfect time to be benched for rookie Nathan Peterman. Just wish he would’ve informed his fantasy owners.
Drew Brees @ BUF
18/25 for 184/0/0 — 2/6/1 rushing
This is nothing more than a product of the Saints finding immense success on the ground. However, if you would’ve told me the Saints would put up 47 points and Brees would still be on this list, I would’ve called you crazy.
Dak Prescott @ ATL
19/29 for 176/0/0 — 6/42/1 rushing
With Zeke out and more importantly LT Tryon Smith, it was clear Dak had to do everything himself. 8 sacks on the day for the Atlanta defense didn’t help.
Running Backs
Adrian Peterson vs SEA
21/29/0 — 1/13/0 on 2 targets
AP and his healthy 1.38 yards per carry. Woof.
Doug Martin vs NYJ
20/51/0 — 0/0/0 on 2 targets
Martin got the touches but consistently kept plowing into the Jets frontline for 1 yard gains. Is it time to say this ain’t gonna happen in 2017?

Jordan Howard vs GB
15/54/0
This had the set up of a typical Bears game: run the ball in the cold weather against 25th rank run defense. He was stuffed in the first couple series and actually began the day in the negative.
Leonard Fournette vs LAC
17/33/0 — 2/13/0 on 4 targets
Fournette’s last 4 weeks have been a nightmare: not playing because of injury, a bye week, a DNP-coach’s decision and an abysmal Week 10 against a beatable Chargers run defense.
Alfred Morris @ ATL
11/53/0
He had some chunk runs but actually seemed like they preferred Rod Smith. Controversy is a brewin’.
Jerick McKinnon @ WSH
10/32/0 — 2/15/0 on 2 targets
Latavius Murray had 17 carries as McKinnon was relatively ineffective even in a high scoring affair.
Melvin Gordon @ JAX
16/27/0 — 5/15/0 on 8 targets
Austin Eckler said “Get outta my way!”
Bilal Powell @ TB
10/30/0 — 1/6/0 on 2 targets
He was supposed to be the savior this week with Matt Forte out. More like big steaming pile o poo.
Wide Receivers
Antonio Brown @ IND
3/47/0 on 7 targets
I honestly can’t figure this game out. He’s good. Don’t worry.
T.Y. Hilton vs PIT
2/23/0 on 4 targets
After last week’s blow up, Hilton blew up in your face unless you sat him for teammate Chester “The Cheetos Cheetah” Rogers.
Jordy Nelson @CHI
3/20/0 on 4 targets
Poor Jordy. He’s reverted to a WR4 since Aaron Rodgers went down.

Dez Bryant @ ATL
4/39/0 on 8 targets
Dez was involved early but basically disappeared in the second half.
Marvin Jones Jr . vs CLE
1/22/0 on 2 targets
Another let down after last week’s monster 2 TD performance. And this was against the Browns…
Ted Ginn Jr. @ BUF
1/3/0 on 1 target
The Saints didn’t need him in this blowout and neither did you this week.
Mohamed Sanu vs DAL
3/29/0 on 5 targets
Sanu also tipped the ball in the air for Matt Ryan‘s 1st quarter INT. That should be negative fantasy points.
Tight Ends
Jack Doyle vs PIT
2/9/0 on 5 targets
“Baby Hands” decided to take a collective dump in his diaper for fantasy owners. Bad baby!
Hunter Henry @JAX
1/7/0 on 2 targets
Henry could’ve been a safety valve in the middle against this Jaguars defense. Instead, he sucked.
Cameron Brate vs NYJ
1/10/0 on 3 targets
Not exactly Ryan Fitzpatrick‘s preferred option in his so-called “revenge game”.
Charles Clay vs NO
2/13/0 on 3 targets
Glad to see him back on the field. Not glad if you had the guts to start him.
Tyler Kroft @ TEN
1/4/0 on 6 targets
Essentially Kroft put the crap in the word crap.
**Honorable Poopers**
Rob Kelley vs MIN
4/10/0 — 2/4/0 on 2 targets
Tarik Cohen vs GB
1/1/0 — 1/10/0 on 2 targets
Cole Beasley @ ATL
2/23/0 on 3 targets
Terrelle Pryor vs MIN
ZERO targets and an eternal spot at the table of pooping.
