Week 10 Waiver Wire: Advance Warning on Players Who Are Just Fool's Gold

Every week, a player emerges as a favorite target of his quarterback or gets an increased number of carries, leading fantasy GMs to believe that he is an out-of-the-blue fantasy gem only to be disappointed when he starts the player the following week with little gain to show for it.

Here are two players who are just that: Guys who broke out, guys whose names came up again and again in their respective Week 9 contests, but ones who aren't worth your fantasy football time of day.

WR Eddie Royal, Denver Broncos (at Kansas City Chiefs)

Eddie Royal caught two passes for 25 yards and a touchdown and ran a punt return back for 85 yards and another score in the Broncos' Week 9 victory over the Oakland Raiders, signaling that he's at least on quarterback Tim Tebow's radar on a team with a dearth of viable wide receivers.

However, this doesn't mean the era of Tebow-to-Royal has begun. Tebow's anything but a reliable quarterback, especially when it comes to passing, and any and all of his receivers suffer from that unreliability.

Royal's score came from him being uncharacteristically wide open; that's not likely to happen every week. He broke out in Week 9, to be sure, but that kind of production is not sustainable and isn't guaranteed to repeat itself any time soon.

RB Danny Woodhead, New England Patriots (at New York Jets)

The fact that Woodhead's number was called more than fantasy GMs are used to likely has many excited for the possibility that last year's fantasy darling and inexplicable breakout player may factor in more heavily in the Patriots multifaceted offense from here on out.

However, Woodhead was the beneficiary of a heavier workload simply because Kevin Faulk was out with an injury and Stevan Ridley was a non-factor. Woodhead led the Patriots backfield with 42 snaps (BenJarvus Green-Ellis was second, with 29), and rushed seven times for 26 yards and caught three passes for 42 yards.

But the Patriots' plans with the run game vary weekly, and once Faulk is healthy and back in the rotation, Woodhead won't be much more than the team's third option on the ground, and he'll return to the obscurity he's languished in for much of the 2011 season.
