The NFL schedule is moving along into Week 10 and that means the fantasy football season will be moving into the next matchups and some of the top players this week to add as injury value options, meaning they are injured or are back from injury, includes Michael Crabtree, Andre Brown and Jonathan Stewart.
This season those players could have huge impacts on the playoffs for fantasy owners and on matchups heading down the line and some are still available in most leagues. Harvin and Crabtree have not played a game this season and their returns are coming up and Browns has not played for the Giants since breaking his leg in the preseason and his return is expected this week. The Giants have needed him badly and he is the best of the bunch this week, as he is expected to play against the Oakland Raiders at home and after the way they gave up points to the Philadelphia Eagles, he could be a very productive option.
The Panthers welcomes back Jonathan Stewart this week after he was out since back last season and he should be a very solid option going forward. Stewart finished Sunday with nine carries for 43 yards and a very good 4.8 yards per carry and those are promising numbers for him after he had three receptions as well for 22 yards in the game and that adds up to over 60 totals yards for him in the matchup. Stewart of course will have to be watched after coming back from an injury, but along with DeAngelo Williams he could be used to have a great one-two punch for the team heading forward.
Fantasy football owners should look towards Michael Crabtree as a very solid option moving forward, as the 49ers need receivers and he will be back in a couple weeks and he could be the best value of the names mentioned, along with Percy Harvin. Crabtree was injured in the spring and was expected to miss at least the first half of the season and he has not yet suited up for the team after making 85 catches for 1,105 yards and nine scores last season and he could return at the perfect time for the 49ers, as they have the Seattle Seahawks coming up on the schedule and that could be a huge game for the team in the division.
Brown broke his leg back in the preseason and now he is making his return and the injury was a huge blow for the team, as he was expected to be the starting running back this season. Last season he was working on being the leading back for the team before suffering the same injury and now he could be in for some big performances coming down the rest of the season. Harvin is another explosive option for fantasy owners, as the Seahawks have lost Sidney Rice for the season and now they need him back more than ever. The Seahawks are a Super Bowl contender, but they still need Harvin back in the fold and he is a great addition.
