NFL Week 10 Predictions: Projecting Josh Freeman and the Week's 5 Worst QBs

The following five quarterbacks represent what should be the worst of the worst for the position in Week 10 of the NFL season.

John Skelton, Arizona Cardinals

Early indications this week out of Cardinals camp is that Kevin Kolb will be unable to go Sunday against his former team in Philadelphia, so Skelton should get his second straight start.

He wasn't terrible last week, as he threw for more than 200 yards and a score. The Eagles should represent a tougher test in Week 10.

The three starting-caliber cornerbacks in Philly won't be as soft as the beat-up Rams secondary he exposed at times last week.

Sam Bradford, St. Louis Rams

His high ankle sprain is still keeping him out of practice, which is a troubling sign for a guy who needs the work to get back into form.

In his first week back against the Cardinals, Bradford threw for 255 yards but didn't have a score and was intercepted once.

Things don't get easier in Week 10, as the Rams travel to Cleveland to take on the fifth-best fantasy defense against quarterbacks in 2011. Over the past five weeks, the Browns have allowed just one touchdown pass, and no quarterback has breached 200 yards.

Tarvaris Jackson, Seattle Seahawks

Since returning from a shoulder injury two weeks ago, Jackson has thrown four interceptions and no scores with a 54.3 completion percentage. In his defense, both the Bengals and Cowboys have been solid against the pass in 2011.

It only gets tougher for Jackson in Week 10, when the Baltimore Ravens and their second-ranked fantasy pass defense travels to Seattle. Expect more of the same from Jackson.

Curtis Painter, Indianapolis Colts

Now a regular in this space, Painter attempts to rebound from a 98-yard, one-interception performance against the Falcons a week ago.

In fact, Painter has two games of under 100 yards passing during the last three weeks. The visit from the Jaguars won't do much to cure what ails Painter and the Colts.  

Josh Freeman, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The inclusion of Freeman on this list has more to do with the matchup he's facing than how the Bucs quarterback is actually playing right now. Still, Freeman isn't exactly lighting the world on fire, as he's thrown for three scores and four picks over the past two weeks.

He faces the Texans and their third-ranked fantasy defense against quarterbacks in Week 10. Houston has kept the last three quarterbacks they've faced under 10 total fantasy points.

No quarterback during that stretch has cracked 150 passing yards.
