Fantasy Football Tuesday: Week 10 Edition

It's time for Fantasy Football Tuesday: Week 10 Edition. It's the point of the season where the stretch run takes place on the way to the playoffs (hopefully). This was a great week as I went 3-0 in the three highlight leagues. Here's the breakdown for Week 10 and the look ahead to Week 11...


Breakdown:


In the Speed Kills league, the K.C. Masterpieces have won two in a row now after knocking off the River City Roosters by the score of 128.69 to 83.56. The Masterpieces were yet againthe highest scoring team in the league this week. It was a huge performance and at a perfect time given the race to the playoffs is heating up. With this win, the Masterpieces are only one game out of first place. The leading scorers for the Masterpieces were Eddie Royal, Jay Cutler, Reggie Wayne and Wes Welker. After Week 10, I'm in 4th place (essentially tied for 3rd) with a record of 6-4.


In the League of Fantasy Footballers, the Kansas City Chefs have kept the momentum going as they've now won three straight games EasieR WIN by the score of 152.74 to 62.33. The Chefs scored the highest amount of points this week in the league. They easily won the matchup even before Anquan Boldin stepped on the field for his game on Monday Night. With the win, the Chefs go to two games above .500 for the first time all season. The leading scorers for the Chefs were Adrian Peterson, Maurice Jones-Drew, Philip Rivers and Anquan Boldin. After Week 10, I'm in 4th place with a record of 6-4.


In the Young Guns league, the Kansas City Perkalators bounced back this week with a win as they beat the Tennessee Journeyman by the score of 66-50. Helped by the Journeyman starting two players who were on the bye, the Perks were able to eek out a win to get back on track and keep pace in the playoff race. Leading scorers for the Perkalators were Philip Rivers, Jamal Lewis, Antonio Gates and Hines Ward. After week 10, I'm in 2nd place in Division 1 with a record of 6-3-1.


Outlook for Week 11:


In the Speed Kills league, the K.C. Masterpieces (6-4) will look to keep the momentum going as they take on the league leading The Rainmaker (7-3). With only four games left in the regular season, this will be a critical game for both teams. As it stands right now, there is only two games seperating 7 teams from the top spot. It also means one little slip up and you can be out of the playoffs as only six teams make the playoffs. It will be a fight the rest of the season as the Masterpieces look to make the playoffs and retain their championship. Key matchup will be the RB position (Ronnie Brown/LenDale White vs. Chris Johnson/Darren Sproles). As of right now, Yahoo is predicting the Masterpieces as the favorite.


In the League of Fantasy Footballers, the Kansas City Chefs (6-4) will look avenge a loss early in the year as they square off against the Eskimo Army. The Chefs would love to hand the Army a loss as they have become the "villian" team in the league with the trash talking and repeated roster moves to disrupt things. There are only three games left in the regular season so every game matters. As it stands right now, two games seperate the top team from the sixth place team. One team has already qualified for the playoffs (Multiple Homeowners) so there are five playoff spots left along with seeding to play for. Key matchup will be at the QB position (Philip Rivers vs. Tony Romo). As of right now, Yahoo is predicting the Army as the favorite.


In the Young Guns league, the Kansas City Perkalators (6-3-1) will face off against division rivals the Louisville Express (7-3). This will be a huge matchup as this matchup is against the top two teams in Division 1. These two teams faced off in Week 4 with the Perks getting the win. The winner of this game will be in 1st place in the division with only two more games left in the regular season after this week. Key matchup will be at the TE position (Antonio Gates vs. Owen Daniels). As of right now, ESPN is predicting the Perkalators as the favorite.


That's all for this week. Tune in next Tuesday for another installment of Fantasy Football Tuesday.
