Week 10 Fantasy Football Pick Ups

RB Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
No jail time.  80 hours of community service.  $4,000 fine.  And your top priority on the waiver wire.  A lot of teams held on to their 1st round pick, but after sitting out for almost 2 months some teams sent him packing.  Well, pick him back up.  No official word on when he will return, but Minnesota has their BYE week this weekend, and there is no real reason Goodell won't activate him.  Will the Vikings?  I'd say yes.

RB Terrence West, Cleveland Browns
Drafted, dropped, picked back up.  That has been West's fantasy season.  The rookie was very intriguing back in August, had some good games, had a healthy scratch and never really capitalized on the Ben Tate injury.  Last week however?  More touches that Tate & Crowell combined.  It's a tricky situation, but West needs to be owned and against Cincy this week, started.

QB Mark Sanchez, Philadelphia Eagles
I know, I know.  Mark Sanchez?  He did throw 2 touchdowns in relief last week and actually looked good in the preseason (I only reference preseason if it serves my point.)  Fact is, Nick Foles is out for awhile and that Chip Kelly offense can probably run (relatively smooth) with anyone under center.  McCoy, Maclin, Matthews, Sproles, Ertz, etc.  Sanchez is at the very least a solid bye week fill-in.

D/ST Dallas Cowboys
Playing Jacksonville (in London) this week.  There you go.

Fantasy Football Is Fun, Right?

We're not even two full weeks through the NFL season and already what an absolute mess.  The only solace in the fact that your fantasy team is ruined, is there is a great chance your friends team sucks just as much.  Quick recap. 

Adrian Peterson beats his kid(s). 

Ray Rice beats his wife. 

Wes Welker does Molly. 

Josh Gordon smokes weed.  

Jamaal Charles, A.J. Green, DeSean Jackson, Knowshon Moreno, Robert Griffin III, Tavon Austin all were injured early in Week 2.  

Eric Decker, Ryan Mathews, Vernon Davis all played a little longer before leaving with injuries and not returning. 

Brandon Marshall is "reportedly" hurt and probably won't play, and then scores 3 TDs on Sunday Night. 

That's a pretty good team right there (minus Rice and RG3, they suck now).  But who's the next star to get hurt or break the law?  Plenty of weeks left....

The waiver wire is going to break this week.

Keefe Presents: Top 10 Running Backs

Keefe Presents continues today with the Top 10 RBs. Again, a reminder, these are not the Top 10 best fantasy backs, but rather simply the 10 best running backs in the NFL. If each guy played on the same offense, with the same QB, O-line, etc., who would be the best for this season, that is what this list(s) are all about.

Top 10 Running Backs:

1. Adrian Peterson, Vikings

2. Chris Johnson, Titans

3. Maurice Jones-Drew, Jaguars

4. Ray Rice, Ravens

5. Stephen Jackson, Rams

6. Michael Turner, Falcons

7. Frank Gore, 49ers

8. Arian Foster, Texans

9. Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants

10. Darren McFadden, Raiders

Honorable Mention: Rashad Mendenhall, Steelers; Matt Forte, Bears; Cedric Benson, Bengals; DeAngelo Williams, Panthers; Ronnie Brown, Dolphins

If your team has or is playing against one of those guys on the list, you can talk about a Top 10 RB in the game, other than that, they might be good, but not in the upper echelon. This list is once again tough, you see guys like Foster and McFadden really only having this year for a track record, but from watching them I truly believe they are in the Top 10.

DeAngelo Williams was a tough omission from my Top 10, he's had a horrible/injury riddled season (he's out for the year), but based strictly on talent, which my lists are intended for, it's hard to say he's not in the Top 10, but there are so many good RBs.
