Week 10 Bold Predictions

With my Friday Nuggets column, I already said quite a bit regarding certain players that I think will either do well or do poorly this week. So with that in mind, I'm going to try to touch on some other players in this entry and attempt to truly toss out some bold predictions. Here goes...

• Astute fantasy owners can tell you that the Buffalo Bills cannot defend tight ends. They play Detroit this week. Detroit has Pettigrew and Scheffler. Who fared better when Hill was the QB earlier in the season, and who is a better match for Hill's below-average arm? That's right, Pettigrew. He is a great bet for 10 fantasy points this week and I say he gets it.

• No guts, no glory: I thought C.J. Spiller would score a TD last week, and I'm going to predict that he scores one this week.

• A sieve of an offensive line for the Bears against what looks like a resurgent Jared Allen and the Vikings' defensive line? No thanks. And that means less than 15 fantasy points for Cutler, less than 10 for Forte, and less than 7 for Johnny Knox.
  

• Peyton Hillis goes for at least 15 fantasy points in what looks like a bad matchup against the Jets. I just think dude is for real.

• Chad Ochocinco is held to no more than 5 fantasy points against the Colts. Again.

• The Haitian, Pierre Garcon, will lead the Colts in receiving after being held in check last week.

• Ronnie Brown has at least 15 fantasy points on Sunday. I have a hunch that the Dolphins will feature the Wildcat a lot more in this game.
  

• Tampa Mike Williams just keeps on rolling, even against a top-rated pass defense like Carolina's. He has at least 10 fantasy points, again.

• Dwayne Bowe's recent history against the Broncos is terrible. Champ Bailey can explain that one to you. So despite the fact that Bowe has been white-hot lately (7 TD's in his last 5), I say that Bowe is held to less than 5 fantasy points Sunday.

• The Seattle offense will look semi-competent Sunday at Arizona, and Marshawn Lynch will go over 10 fantasy points.

• Going out on a limb with this one, possibly for 12-team or 16-team owners looking for a WR3 this week and are desperate: Brandon Gibson leads the Rams in receiving and has at least 80 yards or 8 fantasy points.
  

• Take note, PPR leaguers: Danny Woodhead will make at least 6 catches on Sunday night against the Steelers. And in standard-scoring leagues, I say he totals 80 yards or more because he will be on the field for at least 75% of the Pats' offensive snaps.
  

• Jeremy Maclin has at least 15 fantasy points and outproduces DeSean Jackson this week for the Eagles on Monday night against the Redskins.
