The fantasy football week will begin on Thursday night with a game between the Washington Redskins and the Minnesota Vikings and that means fantasy owners will be looking for deep league finds for Week 10 and some of the top names include Jordan Reed, Marvin Jones, Keenan Allen and Dennis Johnson.
Reed had a breakout game a couple weeks ago and since then he has been very solid for the Redskins, making 12 catches over the past two weeks and he should be a solid target for Robert Griffin on Thursday night. Reed and the Redskins need the win to try and pull up in the division and while the Vikings are a terrible team, they looked much better last week against the Dallas Cowboys and that means the Redskins should beware, especially of Adrian Peterson and Cordarrelle Patterson, who has had some nice work this season as a rookie.
Reed is the top tight end add for deeper leagues, as he still is available in many and he is coming off of another solid game with over 50 yards total and four catches. While that wasn't a bit performance, it has been in line with hos consistency, as he has had at least four catches in each of his last five games and in that span he has also had at least five targets in every game and that means the offense looks to him a lot and also shows some trust between Reed and Griffin. Reed had 14 targets the previous week and eight catches in the loss to Denver and that was another solid performance.
Reed had his best game against the Chicago Bears in that shootout a few weeks ago, making nine catches on nine targets for 134 yards and a touchdown and since that game he has been targeted 19 times and that could continue on Thursday. His stats for the season are very solid for a tight end in his position and he has 38 catches for 425 yards and two touchdowns. Reed had 58 yards against the Cowboys and 50 against the Lions with nine catches in those two games and he has been a very solid pick for Griffin and fantasy owners.
Marvin Jones had an amazing game two weeks ago and while he did not have as big of a game against the Dolphins last Thursday, that doesn't make him any less of a good option. Jones has emerged as a solid second receiver next to AJ Green for the Bengals and Andy Dalton and he had four catches for 66 yards in the game against Miami and he now has at least five targets in each of the past four games. Jones had four touchdowns and eight catches for 122 yards against the Jets and leading up to that game, he was being targeted heavily as well.
Jones has six touchdowns in his last four games and he has been targeted 15 times in the past two weeks and on Sunday the team has a huge matchup against the Baltimore Ravens and that could put the nail in the coffin for the team in the division. This season Jones has 28 catches for 435 yards and he also ranks fifth in the NFL in touchdowns due to the huge game against the Jets. Dennis Johnson is a deep league option if any owners have Ben Tate or Arian Foster, while Keenan Allen has been very solid this season for the Chargers.
