Week 10 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks: Who To Pick Up, Dump or Ignore

Shocking that we are already to Week 10 in the fantasy football season.  

A lot of shake-ups, major injuries, trades, unexpected contenders and disappointing teams have made it a challenge to stay on top of the hottest fantasy football trends, so perhaps I can help.

Here are some quarterbacks that might be on your fantasy football radar one way or another as we head into Week 10.

Pick-ups

Ryan Fitzpatrick, Buffalo Bills

Buffalo might not be winning, but Fitz has been putting up stats, which is really all that matters in fantasy football.

The loss of Roscoe Parrish might hurt his numbers a bit, but for a bye week fill-in or a quarterback to stash for the upcoming fantasy playoffs, you'd be hard pressed to find a better candidate sitting on your waiver wire this late. 

As of this writing, Fitzpatrick is still available in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles

The only reason that Vick isn't listed here first is the fact that he is only available in 11% of Yahoo! leagues as of Tuesday morning. 

If you are in one of those leagues in that 11 percent, put in your claim now. 

Many dropped Vick during his injury time and can now suffer for it. Vick came back sharp as a tack on Sunday, passing for 218 yards and a score and gained another 74 yards rushing for a score. 

He still has yet to turn the ball over this season.

Colt McCoy, Cleveland Browns

McCoy defied critics in college and is already doing so in the NFL, scoring two upset wins in a row over some quarterbacks you might have heard of. 

Cleveland has yet to name him as a continuing starter, but the upside is worth a stash if you might need a QB in the coming weeks. 

Colt is available in a whopping 95% of Yahoo! leagues.

Vince Young, Tennessee Titans

Young has a passer rating of over 103, yet is currently available in 68% of Yahoo! leagues.

Randy Moss will start Sunday, instantly stretching defenses for Young and providing more opportunities for him. 

Go get him.

Ignore (players who might be getting headlines but should stay on your bench reading the paper)

Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings

I dumped Favre off my fantasy teams and suggested others do the same. 

The ol' man basically flipped me off with 446 yards, a career best, in a comeback win on Sunday.

An amazing feat, but at a point in the fantasy season where you need a quarterback that can deliver each game, I'm still not convinced that Brett is a safe play. 

Between the receiver injuries, the fact he's held together with duct tape and Brad Childress refusing to hug him, there are far safer QBs for you to use right now.

Drop/Trade Bait (players here may hold enough value to trade, rather than drop)

Matt Stafford, Detroit Lions

The quarterback with the biggest cheeks in the NFL is hurt again with a similar injury to his shoulder. 

No reason you should shoulder the risk of keeping him from here.

Jon Kitna, Dallas Cowboys

The midseason changing of the coach and Jerry Jones statement of player evaluations are worth note. 

Kitna has more weapons than a battleship, but after the Green Bay game and the switch to a former back-up QB as head coach, one has to wonder if we'll see Stephen McGee get some time and/or if Tony Romo might play the last few games.

Matt Moore, Carolina Panthers

No idea why you'd have him anyway, as his arm wasn't working before he hurt it, either.  

Drop him like a bad habit now that he's on IR.
