Brandon Marshall, Chris Ivory, Ryan Fitzpatrick Post-Week 10 Fantasy Advice

The New York Jets offense was stagnant early Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills, but it picked up late in the game to the relief of fantasy owners.   

New York has matchups against the Houston Texans, Miami Dolphins and New York Giants on the horizon. The Texans, at 13th, have the highest-rated defense among the three teams in total yards allowed, and the Giants are dead last.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was an iffy start at quarterback even before he tore ligaments in his thumb in a Week 8 loss to the Oakland Raiders.

He threw six touchdowns in his first three games but has not thrown more than two in a game all season. He's currently playing through the injury, but it is a concern.

The only thing keeping him remotely alive for a fantasy start is a Week 13 matchup against the Giants, who are second-to-last in passing yards allowed. Even then, you should only consider Fitzpatrick if you have a starting quarterback on a bye or are in a massive slump.

Leave him on the bench the next two weeks, as the Texans are ranked eighth against the pass and the Dolphins 13th.

Despite Fitzpatrick not being a great play and the next two opponents' decent pass defenses, Brandon Marshall is always a must-start. The biggest risk you take with him is injury-related. He always seems to get banged up, as he did against the Bills.

He was helped off the field early in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a foot or ankle injury but was back in soon after.

He's had at least 100 yards in five games this season, and in three of four where he failed to do so, he still found the end zone.

Consider Marshall a WR1 and only bench him if you are extremely deep in the wide receiver department.

Chris Ivory is the clear No. 1 running back for the Jets, and he is worth a start in nearly every league. His carries were somewhat limited against the Bills because the Jets got down 22-3 early, but he still averaged nearly six yards per carry.

Until Thursday he had three straight weeks of 41 yards rushing or fewer but did have three total touchdowns over the span. He also proved after a strong performance Thursday not to give up on him despite the slump.

While Fitzpatrick and Marshall face somewhat tough passing defenses two of the next three weeks, Ivory could run crazy against his opponents.

Feel great about starting Ivory in Week 11 against the 27th-ranked Texans rush defense and even better in Week 12 against the Dolphins, who are only ranked higher than the Cleveland Browns when it comes to stopping the run. The Giants aren't much better at 22nd.

Ivory is a high-end RB2 but over the next three weeks should be considered an RB1.
