It was the battle of Florida or simply the battle of two bad teams. However you chose to look at the conclusion of fantasy football Week 10. Let's take a look at the storylines coming out of the game.
-Nothing much happening with the QB's as expected. Ryan Tannehill did throw for two touchdowns and 229 yards but he has not been a viable fantasy football option all season, especially given the horrid line he plays behind. Than there is Mike Glennon who didn't have one of his best games in throwing for only 139 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT. Truth be told I have liked what I have seen out of Glennon so far and will recommend him as a QB-2 sleeper for next season.
-It was a great start for rookie RB Mike James who gained 41 yards on only 5 carries during the team's opening drive. However James fractured his right ankle and is likely finished for the season as he should join Doug Martin on IR. That left the heavy running to Brian Leonard who did the best he could in gaining 57 yards on 20 carries. Bobby Rainey is the one to watch going forward however as he ran 8 times for 45 yards and a score. With Leonard nothing but a journeyman with no upside, Rainey should get the chance to be the prime runner going forward.
-We all knew Lamar Miller was a gigantic bust but how about this line? 2 rushing yards on 7 carries. Come again? An already horrid Dolphins offensive line is even worse now that Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin are out and so if you haven't already dumped Miller, get to it already.
-Talk about coming out of nowhere. Second-year man Rishard Mathews caught 11 balls for 120 yards and 2 touchdowns out of the clear blue sky Monday night. With Mike Wallace on Revis Island (4 catches for 15 yards in a continuing horrendous season), Matthews shone out of the slot. Brian Hartline was solid himself with 5 catches for 57 yards. I wouldn't overreact to the Matthews game. The Dolphins are not exactly the Saints when it comes to throwing the football. Matthews also remains third on the depth chart behind Hartline and Wallace.
-Second spotty game in a row for Vincent Jackson owners to digest as he caught only 3 balls for 28 yards. Clearly Jackson owners would not agree with me about how I like how Glennon is playing. Meanwhile Tim Wright was a gigantic bust himself with only 1 catch for 19 yards. It really was not the night for the Buc's passing game no matter how you slice it.
There you have it. Let us hear some of your thoughts.
