The fantasy football Week 10 schedule is here and some free agents to check out include Odell Beckham, Alfred Blue, Charles Sims, Martavis Bryant, Bobby Rainey, Ronnie Hillman, Markus Wheaton, Andre Williams, Charles Clay, Matt Asiata, Bryce Brown, Anthony Dixon, Jerick McKinnon, Travaris Cadet, Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson, as some of those players have prime matchups coming up in the next few weeks for fantasy owners.
Charles Sims and Bobby Rainey are stepping in for Doug Martin and are solid options. Ronnie Hillman has been the starter with Montee Ball out, while Mychal Rivera could be the best TE free agent option. Alfred Blue is a top pick up until Arian Foster is back even with the team in a bye, while Markus Wheaton, Andre Williams, Charles Clay and Odell Beckham are also strong options.
The Minnesota Vikings have solid options in Teddy Bridgewater, Matt Asiata, Jerick McKinnon and Cordarrelle Patterson, as those players have the chance to step up in the coming weeks and with Adrian Peterson out for fantasy owners for the time being, Asiata and McKinnon have been fairly good as replacement start options. Peterson might be coming back soon, but until then owners should go for the backups.
McKinnon looks to be the best option, as head coach Mike Zimmer has put him in the starting role and he could continue getting the top spot over Matt Asiata. Zimmer said that he is impressed with the way that McKinnon has rushed the ball in the past few weeks and that makes him a sleeper going forward. Bridgewater has played much better than Christian Ponder for the Vikings and this week he could be a good spot start against the Bills after they lost to the Patriots last weekend.
The New Orleans Saints finally got Mark Ingram back against the Detroit Lions and he has been playing well since returning. Travaris Cadet and Khiry Robinson are also options with Pierre Thomas out in the RB rotation. Ingram had been out of the lineup for the Saints with a hand injury and he was able to practice following that with no issues and will be set for the next game for the Saints.
The Buffalo Bills are on a bye, but for fantasy owners looking for running back support after this week, the team has some options with Bryce Brown and Anthony Dixon. The Bills already have lost CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson to injuries and that makes Dixon the best fantasy football pickup for the running backs moving forward along with Brown. Those two are the next players on the depth chart and with Spiller is out for the season with a broken collarbone, fantasy owners need a boost to replace him and he will be a huge loss for Kyle Orton in the offense.
Spiller had just broken off a 50-yard run when he was brought down hard and he ended up breaking his collarbone on the play. Spiller had previously been mentioned in trade talks since he is headed into free agency next offseason and now he likely will hit the market over signing an extension with the Bills. Spiller had over 200 yards and now he is done for the year after previously rushing for 927 yards last season.
