2011 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: NFL Week 10

There were some unusual heroes on Sunday. There always are. Let’s take a look at them and see if they are worthy of your fantasy rosters.

Matt Moore, QB, Miami Dolphins

Moore threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns as the Dolphins thumped the Chiefs. Great game, but as the bye weeks are coming to an end, he’s only useful in two-quarterback leagues.

Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

Donald Brown, RB, Indianapolis Colts

Brown ran for 70 yards on 16 carries (4.4 YPC). It’s a messy RB situation on a bad football team, but it appears he’s the Indy back to own at this point.

Ruling: Get ‘em. 

Marshawn Lynch, RB, Seattle Seahawks

If Lynch was dropped after his scratch the other day, he should be on your radar. He piled up 135 yards on 23 carries (5.9 YPC) and a score. He has scored a touchdown in four straight games.

Ruling: Get ‘em.

Roy Helu, RB, Washington Redskins

The Redskins' RB carousel has led to Helu. He had 10 carries for 41 yards, but really made a splash in the passing game catching 14 passes (17 targets) for 105 yards.

Ruling: Get ‘em.

Lavelle Hawkins, WR, Tennessee Titans

Hawkins caught five passes (seven targets) for 63 yards and a score. He had just 151 yards entering the game.

Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

Jacoby Ford, WR, Oakland Raiders

Ford caught five passes (six targets) for 105 yards and a touchdown. He has a chance with Carson Palmer, but I would not take a chance adding him.

Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

Josh Cribbs, WR, Cleveland Browns

Cribbs caught all five of his targets for 50 yards and a score. It was his second straight game with 50-plus yards and a touchdown, but he remains too unreliable for fantasy teams. That doesn’t take anything away from him as a football player though.

Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

Plaxico Burress, WR, New York Jets

Plax caught all five of his targets for 79 yards. It’s clear he’s becoming a bigger part of the offense since Week 7.

Ruling: Get ‘em.

Steve Breaston, WR, Kansas City Chiefs

Jonathan Baldwin was a beast on MNF, but yesterday Breaston was the lead dog. He caught seven passes (11 targets) for 115 yards. Baldwin had just one catch for 12 yards. Breaston is averaging 69.5 yards in his past six games.

Ruling: Get ‘em.

Anthony Fasano, TE, Miami Dolphins

Fasano didn’t "Suck for Luck" this week catching a pair of touchdown passes. He’s not a reliable fantasy play.

Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
