Fantasy Football Week 10: Hot or Horrendous?

By the time this article is being read by fantasy owners, fans, and all others, week 10 will have begun, with the first Thursday night game on the NFL network having hit the airwaves. That translates into the best time of the year for my fantasy sports and reality sports enjoyment.

Thanks to my satellite dish packages and my ability to afford them, I feel like a kid at Christmas again. With my NFL ticket and my Center Ice packages through Direct TV, and with the now active NFL Network Thursday games plus all the retro games offered from the week before, and with the retro offerings on the NHL network as well, that means that I can now fill my awake hours with watching either NFL or NHL broadcasts the majority of the entire day and night.

Who needs news, culture, or Presidential and Congressional races? My dream is fulfilled regularly by the National Football League and the National Hockey League! If that makes me shallow, then draw me some rank and order baseness, please? Brady Quinn's first professional start is the beginning of the main season that I have waited for. This is the reason that I held on to him in my leagues that allowed the extra space for hope.

Who in their right mind (whatever that term means seems to be an oxymoron in the world of fantasy football) would have believed that the Miami Dolphins would be working into position to be able to win their third consecutive game this season this week? In beating the Broncos last week, Chad Pennington simply completed 23 of 40 attempts for 281 yards and a lone interception.

In this winning streak for the Dolphins, in the last four games, Pennington has produced 1,174 yards, four touchdown passes, with three interceptions, and consequently in those games, Miami is three and one for wins and losses.

What are some other surprises? How about some injury news? And important fantasy information ... uh-oh.  Click here to read more.
