Week 10 had some wild games.
Charcandrick West torched the normally impenetrable Denver defense for 154 total yards and two touchdowns. But because of his consistency over the last three games, running for a touchdown in each, he's earned his praise. Here are three success stories worthy of scrutiny:
WR Michael Floyd, Cardinals (vs. Bengals)
Even if Floyd hadn't injured himself near the end of Week 10 against the Seahawks, he wouldn't have garnered much good will in DFS. Even healthy, he's third on the depth chart behind Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown making him purely a boom-or-bust candidate. He boomed in Week 10.
And yes, he's on a nice four-game TD streak but this can be attributed more to how varied the Cardinals' attack is. With his recent output, his ownership is bound to increase and it could easily falter against Cincinnati. Fade him.
RB Matt Jones, Redskins (at Panthers)
Take a good look at Jones' line from Week 10. While he was a DFS monster, a lot of his success can be attributed to luck. It's not sustainable. He ran for 56 yards on 11 carries, but had limited value without a rushing TD.
He did, however, explode for 131 yards receiving and a TD reception. That happened on three receptions. His season total prior to Week 10 was 79 receiving yards and zero TDs. Those fortunate enough to take a flier on him in Week 10 shouldn't try to push it - and neither should anyone else.
QB Joe Flacco, Ravens (vs. Rams)
Flacco is almost always good for close to 300 yards. He doesn't cost a lot, and some could argue he's a bargain play at his position. He is consistently better at home than he is on the road, and he threw a season high three TDs in Week 10.
He also threw two picks and lost a fumble. He's maddening. Those turnovers all came early in the second half, too, after a spotless opening half. DFSers following him probably thought he was single-handedly leading their rosters to victory. Instead of a great week, he was fine. He isn't worth the headache. He's gone without an interception only twice.
