2011 Fantasy Football: NFL Week 10 Sleepers

Ryan LesterNov 11, 2011

Sometimes you need a fantasy gem to be successful. Here is a list of LestersLegends’ under the radar players that could possibly pull out a win for you in Week 10.

Mark Sanchez vs. New England: It’s well documented that the Patriots have the league’s worst pass defense. In their first meeting Sanchez had a modest 166 passing yards but threw a pair of touchdowns with an interception. He’s playing at home where he has a 89.1 passer rating (79.3 on the road) and a 8-4 TD-INT ratio (5-3 on the road). He has four TDs in two home games against New England without an interception.

Chris Ogbonnaya vs. St. Louis: Obgonnaya underwhelmed last week with 28 yards on 13 carries (2.2 ypg). He was facing a Texans run defense that ranks 4th at 91.4 ypg allowed. He added a 13-yard catch to at least give him 41 total yards. This week he faces the league’s worst run defense. The Rams are giving up 153.6 ypg on the ground. Ben Tate is risky play because he’s playing second fiddle to Arian Foster, but he’s averaging 87 yards the past three weeks and Tampa Bay is 26th against the run (132.4 ypg allowed).

Plaxico Burress vs. New England: Plax is averaging just 40.2 ypg and his five TDs are a bit misleading as three came in one game. He has four TDs in four regular season games with New England plus a huge one in the Super Bowl. In his past two games he had that three-TD outburst and a season-high 79 yards in the other game. His size should be an issue for New England’s struggling secondary.

Michael Jenkins @ Green Bay: Jenkins is a deeper sleeper candidate. He had three catches for 111 yards and a touchdown in his last meeting with Green Bay (31st against the pass @ 299.6 ypg allowed).

James Jones vs. Minnesota: Jones has played well against the Vikings catching 11 passes for 221 yards (73.7 ypg) and a touchdown in his past three meetings with them. The Vikings rank 30th against the pass (273.6 ypg allowed).

Brent Celek vs. Arizona: Celek caught nine passes in the first five games for 73 yards. In his past three he’s caught 18 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns. He is a risky play because his lows are so low, but he has a chance of putting in a solid game against the Cardinals.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Indianapolis: I actually think the Colts may pull this one off, but they have been dreadful. They are 30th in scoring (14.2 ppg) and 31st in total offense (282.8 ypg). They have somehow been even worse the past three weeks averaging just 11.3 ppg. Jacksonville may just be 2-6 but they are in the top ten in both scoring defense (20.4 ppg) and total defense (307.0 ypg).
