offs loom. Successful fantasy owners shouldn't go into victory formation yet, as

Like winter Womens Daniel Kilgore Jersey , fantasy football playone bad week or unfortunate injury can change the complexion of the whole season.Those still pushing for a postseason berth should pull out all the stops without fear. Week 10 brings opportunity for players who have otherwise been disappointments along with a rookie or two who should be used to exploit favorable matchups.START: Jordan Howard, RB, Bears: With four touchdowns in his last three games, Howard is showing signs of finally breaking out of his season-long funk. Howard is no longer a component in the Chicago passing game, but he's averaged 19 touches per game over the past three weeks. Now he faces a Lions run defense that gives up 5.1 yards per carry and is ranked 27th in stopping the run. He's still a long way from the RB1 many envisioned he'd be on draft day, but Howard will fit in most fantasy lineups as a solid RB2 this Sunday. SIT: Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots: Yes, him. Gronkowski hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 1 and has exceeded better than 70 receiving yards just twice after tagging the Texans for 123 yards in the regular season opener. He missed last Sunday's win against the Packers and is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Titans. There are good streaming options available at tight end (Chris Herndon of the Jets, for example) but the days of Gronkowski as a must-start fantasy beast appear to be reaching their end.START: Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, Packers: Since joining the starting lineup, Valdes-Scantling is averaging just over nine targets per game and has a pair of 100-yard outings to go along with two touchdowns. Green Bay's pass Josh Sitton Jersey , pass and pass again mindset makes the rookie a strong WR2 who continues to gain the trust of Aaron Rodgers. He'll keep building his rapport with Rodgers at the expense of a Miami defense that is 25th in receiving yards allowed and 29th in yards per catch allowed. Valdes-Scantling has averaged 21.1 yards per catch, as seven of his 17 receptions have been for 20 yards or longer.SIT: Derek Carr, QB, Raiders: The optimism about Carr following a strong performance against the Colts was critically shattered after a near-lifeless effort against the 49ers. Things will not get better for Carr, who must contend with a Chargers defense that is a solid 12th in net passing yards allowed and is tied for sixth with 10 interceptions. While Carr has 10 touchdown passes this season, keep in mind that seven of those came in two games. Los Angeles held him to just 14 fantasy points when the two teams met in Week 5.START: Michael Gallup, WR, Cowboys: Dak Prescott has gotten the rookie wideout more involved over the past two games, with 11 of his 28 targets this season coming in that span. He's responded well, catching six passes for 132 yards and a touchdown and will continue his upward trend going against a suspect Eagles pass defense that is 20th in net passing yards allowed. Gallup has shown he doesn't need a lot of targets to make an impact, which makes him an intriguing WR3/flex option.SIT: Kenny Golladay, WR, Lions: Even with Golden Tate no longer in the lineup, Golladay was a non-factor in last week's loss to the Vikings http://www.thedolphinslockerroom.com/authentic-kalen-ballage-jersey , catching just three passes for 46 yards on four targets. Things don't get easier for Golladay, who faces a Bears defense that is ninth in fewest net passing yards and is second only to the Dolphins with 14 interceptions. Golladay should see more targets after having a mere seven in his last three games combined, but there's little to feel good about playing him, especially in a PPR format.START: Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans: He's starting to round into shape and comes off his second game of better than 20 fantasy points with a great chance at a third against the Patriots. New England is 28th in net passing yards allowed and have given up 19 touchdown passes and must deal with Mariota's running ability. While he'd be a gamble in standard leagues, Mariota is a good play in deeper leagues. There's a good chance he steps his game up and turns this contest into a high-scoring affair.SIT: Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions: Stafford hasn't recorded a game of better than 20 fantasy points since Week 4 and after being sacked 10 times by the Vikings last week, his body will go through another brutal afternoon against the Bears, who have 24 sacks along with 14 interceptions. Chicago is ninth in fewest net passing yards, and if the Lions fall behind early, Stafford had better brace for a long afternoon of uncomfortable meetings with Chicago's withering pass rush.START: Aaron Jones, RB Womens Jason Sanders Jersey , Packers: Sooner or later, the Packers will catch on to giving Jones more than 12-14 carries per game. Sunday would be a good time to do so, as Green Bay gets a Miami defense ranked 31st against the run and allows a healthy 4.6 yards per carry, which bodes well for Jones' six yards per attempt. Yes, there is some disappointment in Jones after his fumble against the Patriots, but there's a great rebound opportunity awaiting any fantasy owner willing to use him as an RB2.SIT: Wendell Smallwood, RB, Eagles: In fact, avoiding Eagles running backs altogether is a sound move. The backfield by committee style is a fantasy killer, one whose level of pain is increased by facing a Cowboys run defense that is seventh in fewest yards allowed and gives up a mere 3.6 yards per carry. The Miami Dolphins have announced their inactive players for the team’s Week 4 game against the New England Patriots. The list includes key players like safety Reshad Jones, wide receiver DeVante Parker, and defensive end Andre Branch. Jones, who also missed last week, will be replaced by Minkah Fitzpatrick at safety Durham Smythe Jersey , while Parker’s absence will provide more snaps for Jakeem Grant and Albert Wilson. Branch’s inclusion on the inactive list will lead to more playing time for Charles Harris. Also inactive are quarterbacks Luke Falk and David Fales, as well as tight end A.J. Derby and linebacker Chase Allen.Jones has a shoulder injury that he sustained against the New York Jets in Week 2. Parker sustained a quadriceps injury on Friday at practice while Branch injured his knee last week. Allen (foot) and Derby (foot) were also injured during last week’s game. For the Patriots, the inactive list includes tight end Jacob Hollister, cornerback Eric Rowe, defenisve end Geneo Grissom, offensive lineman Cole Croston, offensive lineman Ted Karras, defensive line Keionta Davis, and defensive end Derek Rivers. The Patriots have left wide receiver Josh Gordon active, meaning the former Cleveland Browns star could make his debut with the AFC East team this week.
