PalmerHead2Carson Palmer, Oak, QB (20-percent started)
Matchup: at NO
Palmer is the Fuddruckers burger of the NFL — terribly underrated. Despite ranking ninth in total points among quarterbacks, well-ahead of brand names Cam Newton, Michael Vick and Tony Romo, his cheeks remain firmly planted on most virtual benches week-to-week. They shouldn't. If there's one passer who should be suffering from a 'tired arm,' it's the Raider. Thanks to Oakland's friendly defense, only Matthew Stafford (44.6) has attempted more passes than Palmer (41.4) this season. More of the same is on the docket in Week 11. Early indications suggest Darren McFadden could return to the lineup this week, but even if he does, a pass-first, pass-often blueprint will likely be followed. New Orleans, winners of four straight, are arguably the hottest offensive team in the league. Because the Raiders and Saints, defensively, would struggle to cage a herd of turtles, a shootout seems inevitable. That occurs, and Palmer could again flirt with the top-five. On average, 'Nawlins has given up a mind-blowing 27.6 fantasy points per game to QBs this year. Matt Cassel was the only passer — Shocker! — who didn't cross the 22-point threshold against it in standard formats. Enough is enough. Show it's time to plug Palmer in.

Fearless Forecast: 31-46, 337 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 1 interception, 2 rushing yards, 24.1 fantasy points

Talking fantasy never makes the masses feel blue. (USP)

Suffering through the bye week blues is often an unbearable exercise. Backups, no matter how friendly the matchup, are never a sure thing. That is, unless you happen to own Andrew Luck.

The rookie sensation, as he's done often of late, delivered yet another masterful performance, hanging another 20-plus fantasy points on the clawless Jaguars. Currently the seventh-best QB in fantasy in per game average, owners are asking themselves: Has Luck officially entered the elite class?

On this week's insightful program, Brad Evans and Scott Pianowski told you what brand names won't outproduce Luck over the rest of the season. Additionally, our fanalysts broke down each remaining Week 10 clash unveiling their sleepers, busts and Shocker Specials. Finally, what playoff difference-makers should you trade for now? We filled you in.

Fantasy is a speculative game. Predict the future, and you look like a genius. Don't, and you're painfully human. Gazing into the crystal ball here's our view on 10 intriguing over/unders for Week 10.

QB Conundrum. Pick one: Andrew Luck (vs. Jax), Matthew Stafford (at Min), Ben Roethlisberger (vs. KC), Cam Newton (at Den)

Scott —STAFFORD gets the check mark. So long as you work around Antoine Winfield, you can make hay on the Vikings secondary — it's the ninth-friendliest in all of fantasy. The Lions passing game might actually be better off now that everything isn't so Calvin-centric. As much as I love Luck, the Thursday night affair has trap game written all over it.

Brad — LUCK. As stated on 'The Fantasy Freak Show' and Chris Liss' Sirius/XM radio program, my man-love for the rookie is growing exponentially each week. From this point forward it would be no stretch if he outpaced Robert Griffin III and Tom Brady. Considering his success against the Jags earlier this year (320-2-1-50), marvelous skill set and Indy's suspect D, he should be a slam dunk for 25-plus fantasy points this week, outpacing the field above.

Andy — BIG BEN. The only real risk is that Pittsburgh may run out to a big early lead. I've got all these guys in my top-10, though, so I really don't see a bad option here.

Brandon — LUCK has been better than the others here on a fantasy per game basis, and when last he faced Jacksonville (Week 3), he threw for 313 yards and 2 TDs, and added 50 rushing yards. Sign me up for the rookie.

Dalton — NEWTON. This is a really tough call, but I think the Broncos should be able to put up points offensively, resulting in something of a shootout. At some point Newton's YPA should result in more touchdowns.

Mathews may flip the off switch this week in Tampa. (USP)

Tony Romo, Dal, QB (72-percent started)
Matchup: at Phi
Jerry Jones' illegitimate child, very similar to other NFC East passers not named Robert Griffin III, is the epitome of boom/bust. Despite being surrounded by several nuclear weapons — Miles Austin, Dez Bryant and Jason Witten — he only sports the 15th-best per game average in the virtual game among signal callers, ranking behind the likes of Andy Dalton and a white-hot Josh Freeman. Still, owners, like Jones, loyally stand by the passer's side sticking with him through thick and thin. The volume is appealing — he's on pace to chuck a career-high 636 attempts — but with only three multi-TD performances in eight starts, he's lacked in the scoring department. If play-calling 'genius' Jason Garrett installed a no-huddle offense, Romo would likely elevate his game. His mobility and ability to create would thrive in such a system. Unfortunately, it will likely be status quo in this week's clash in Philly. For the Eagles, a matchup with the Cowboys is their Waterloo. Win, and the angry mobs outside Andy Reid's office will temporarily subside. Lose, and guillotines will be erected. Expect the former to occur. Philly's talented secondary has at times underwhelmed, surrendering four 20-point fantasy performances to QBs in its past six games. But, overall, DRC and friends have allowed just 6.7 yards per attempt. Based on the matchup and given Romo's inconsistencies, he's completely unreliable in Week 10.

Fearless Forecast: 24-38, 268 passing yards, 1 passing touchdown, 1 interception, 3 rushing yards, 16.7 fantasy points

Ryan Tannehill, Mia, QB (3-percent started)
Matchup: vs. Ten
Preseason the only positive view most had about Tannehill, he was married to an attractive blond with yeti feet. With only 19 career starts at QB under his belt during his collegiate career at Texas A&M, most believed his learning curve would be steep. Naturally, the fantasy community underestimated him. Though still unpolished, the rookie has greatly exceeded expectation, showing measurable improvement from week to week. Smart and tough, he's displayed veteran acumen on pre-snap reads and stood poised in dirty pockets. His 78.2 passer rating isn't worth writing home about, but he hasn't committed a turnover since Week 4 and is coming off a rock solid 290-yard, 1-TD effort against the Colts. Another plus performance is on deck in Week 10. Tennessee, losers of two straight, is a team heading nowhere fast. Chris Johnson has found his groove, but, defensively, the Titans are a group of blind buffoons. Six quarterbacks have recorded multi-TD games against them in nine games, including 'His Smugness' Jay Cutler last week. Overall, they've yielded 7.9 yards per attempt and the sixth-most fantasy points to QBs this year. With Brian Hartline and the run game back on track, Miami, desperately trying to keep pace with New England in the AFC East, will dispose of the sliding Titans with ease. Yes, he only has two 20-point fantasy games this season, but, given the friendly matchup, count on Tannehill to play like a fish out of water.

Fearless Forecast: 20-33, 244 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 0 interceptions, 7 rushing yards, 20.9 fantasy points

With their team still undefeated on the season, Falcons fans are flying high (USP)

Everyone has their weaknesses. Whether playing against a stiff opponent, tied to an unproductive quarterback, cursed by a video game or struggling in an offensive scheme, any insanely talented player can underwhelm.

But what explains poor performance in a building? Julio Jones owners want to know.

In nine career games in the Georgia Dome, the wideout has totaled just 23 receptions for 322 yards and three scores. Meanwhile, away, he's grabbed 66 passes for 1,136 yards and 10 TDs in 11 games. Even in the 2009 SEC Championship clash with Florida he managed just two catches for 28 yards under the roof.

On this week's gripping program, fantasy gumshoes Andy Behrens and Brad Evans tried to get to the bottom of the Julio Houdini act. Additionally, our fearless forecasters broke down each remaining Week 9 game revealing their sleepers, busts and Shocker Specials. Also, is now the time to turn a profit on Doug Martin? We decided.

Fantasy is a speculative game. Predict the future, and you look like a genius. Don't, and you're painfully human. Gazing into the crystal ball here's our view on 10 intriguing over/unders for Week 9.

Doug Martin, off a pacesetting 214 total yards and two touchdowns at Minnesota, total yards at Oakland 109.5

Scott — OVER. I know they lost Carl Nicks, blocking stud, but at least it's a guard injury (a center or tackle would be worse). Martin has been terrific since the bye, partly because of experienced gained, partly due to the play-calling shift, and partly due to improved blocking. Keep rolling, roller.

Andy — OVER. Barely. Let's hope for a touchdown. The Carl Nicks injury hurts everyone.

Brandon — OVER. He's had 120-plus total yards in three straight games and the matchup (Oakland) is certainly not off-putting

Expect the Jones rollercoaster ride to bottom out in Week 9 (USP)

Eli Manning, NYG, QB (76-percent started)
Matchup: vs. Pit
Over the past three weeks, the king of consistency has donned a paper crown. Though his 337-1-2 output against Washington's ghastly secondary Week 7 was commendable, lackluster efforts at San Francisco (193-1-0) and last week at Dallas (192-0-1) surely left his fan-base dissatisfied. Now averaging a bland 20.5 points per game in standard formats, the 15th-best output among signal callers, he's far from a QB1 lock. Don't expect a sudden about face this week. Sans its leader Troy Polamalu, Pittsburgh doesn't resemble the Steel Curtain of year's past. The Steelers have recorded just 12 sacks on the season, the fifth-fewest in the NFL. Still, the secondary has executed fairly well outside Ike Taylor. In particular, safety Ryan Clark, who has allowed a lowly 23.1 QB rating this season, has routinely spooked opposing QBs. Though PIT has surrendered 11 passing touchdowns on the year, including a pair to Eli's older brother in Week 1, it's given up a mere 6.0 YPA and 192.4 passing yards per game. In fact, only Peyton and Carson Palmer surpassed the 20-point mark against it. Another week of miniature numbers could be in the offing for the Giant.

Fearless Forecast: 18-30, 209 passing yards, 1 passing touchdown, 1 interception, 13.4 fantasy points
