Bruno Boys Fantasy Football

51. Josh Morgan (San Francisco 49ers) vs. Chicago

After two solid games in Weeks 5 and 7 (the 49ers had a Week 6 bye), Morgan has regressed, catching a total of three passes for 12 yards over his last two games. But have some faith in him this week against the Bears, who have given up the seventh-most fantasy points to wideouts this year.
Point Projection: 5 points

52. Kelley Washington (Baltimore Ravens) @ Cleveland

Washington had his worst game of the season last week, catching only one pass for a measly 10 yards. That should change this week against utterly hopeless Browns, who Washington racked up 66 yards against in Week 3 – a total that remains a season-high for him.
Point Projection: 5 points

53. Patrick Crayton (Dallas Cowboys) @ Green Bay

Though Green Bay is a top-10 defense against the pass, they are also 28th in passing scores allowed, which means any and all Cowboys receivers are worthy of at least minimal consideration, especially in deeper leagues. That’s where Crayton, who caught two passes for 79 yards last week, comes into play.
Point Projection: 5 points

54. Torry Holt (Jacksonville Jaguars) @ NY Jets

Holt has had a tough stretch over his last couple games, with just six catches for a total of 54 yards and zero scores. That fact that he hasn’t been in the end zone over the past two weeks isn’t surprising, though. Holt hasn’t scored once all year.
Point Projection: 5 points

55. Keenan Burton (St. Louis Rams) vs. New Orleans

Burton is seeing plenty of targets, and over his last four games he has at least five catches in three of them. Unfortunately, he isn’t getting a great amount of production with those receptions, with a season-high of just 54 yards in St. Louis’s last game, which was in Week 8 against Detroit before their bye week. The Saints are coming to town, and only three teams have allowed fewer touchdown throws than they have this season, so don’t expect Burton to suddenly come alive.
Point Projection: 5 points

56. Austin Collie (Indianapolis Colts) vs. New England **CHECK INJURY STATUS**

Pierre Garcon’s production has risen in each of the last three weeks, while Collie has been up and down. He had just two catches for 26 yards against the Texans, despite the fact that Peyton Manning chucked the pigskin 50 times. New England has the No. 4 pass defense in the league, so this match-up doesn’t seem like it will be friendly to the rookie from BYU.
Point Projection: 5 points

57. Mark Clayton (Baltimore Ravens) @ Cleveland

Like the rest of the Baltimore receivers last week, Clayton did nothing, catching all of one pass for 15 yards. It was the sixth time in seven games he amassed fewer than 50 receiving yards, and though he’ll find the end zone eventually this season, he hasn’t done that since Week 1.
Point Projection: 4 points

58. Nate Washington (Tennessee Titans) vs. Buffalo

Washington looked like a promising figure earlier in the season, when he caught three touchdowns in three straight games from Weeks 2-4. But that promise has faded, and the Titans’ passing game is now led by Vince Young, which seems to be a good thing for Justin Gage, but a bad thing for Washington.
Point Projection: 4 points

59. Malcolm Floyd (San Diego Chargers) vs. Philadelphia

Floyd had two more receptions for the Chargers this week; it was his third straight game with a deuce in the catch column. Problem was, he gathered just 29 receiving yards in the contest, and it was the second time in that streak that he had fewer than 30 yards. Philly has a very solid pass defense, and though Floyd has the potential to be a fantasy contributor at some point, that time hasn’t arrived quite yet.
Point Projection: 4 points

60. Sammie Stroughter (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) @ Miami

For the fourth week in a row, Stroughter had three receptions last week as Tampa won their first game. The difference this week was, he added his first career receiving touchdown to the mix. Stroughter has some ability, but even against the Dolphins’ 28th-ranked pass defense, he’ll be playing with a rookie quarterback in Josh Freeman who will be starting on the road for the first time, making Stroughter less than reliable.
Point Projection: 4 points

61. Davone Bess (Miami Dolphins) vs. Tampa Bay

Bess was targeted 14 times last week in Miami’s loss to New England, which was double the amount of any other player. Still, he managed just six catches for 56 yards, and failed to reach 10.0 yards per catch for the 12th straight game, dating back to Week 13 of last season.
Point Projection: 3 points

62. Deion Branch (Seattle Seahawks) @ Arizona

Branch was targeted three times last week as Seattle took down Detroit, but he did manage to catch all three passes, for a total of 25 yards. Despite a good match-up with the Cardinals, Branch’s fantasy value is minimal; he has just one game of at least 40 receiving yards this season, and none with at least 50.
Point Projection: 3 points

63. Mike Thomas (Jacksonville Jaguars) @ New York Jets

Thomas had a game to forget last week, with one catch for -2 yards and one rush for 17 yards, and when you combine that with a difficult match-up this week, he gets knocked down in the rankings. The Jets are very stingy against the pass, and though Thomas has the ability to make big plays, it’s hard to envision him doing much this week.
Point Projection: 3 points

64. Chris Chambers (Kansas City Chiefs) @ Oakland

Utterly useless in San Diego, Chambers went to the Chiefs and suddenly made plays, catching three passes, two of them for touchdowns, to go with 70 receiving yards, despite being targeted just four times. It was an impressive start, to be sure, but we’ll need so see another productive week before believing in him.
Point Projection: 3 points

65. Bryant Johnson (Detroit Lions) @ Minnesota

As Johnson found out, good things happen when you don’t allow the ball to go through your hands. He couldn’t hang on to the rock two weeks ago against the Rams, but did so last week against the Seahawks and wound up with a touchdown reception. Granted, it was one of only two catches for him on the day, but it was his first score in five weeks.
Point Projection: 3 points

66. Lance Long (Kansas City Chiefs) @ Oakland

Completely out of the blue, Long was targeted 11 times, which led the Chiefs, and caught eight passes for 74 yards last week in the team’s loss to Jacksonville. This came after having been with the Cardinals at the beginning of the year, getting cut, signing to the Chiefs’ practice squad, and finally signing to their 53-man roster three weeks ago. If he can put up a performance anything like the one he had this week, then we’ll consider moving him up the rankings.
Point Projection: 3 points

67. Eddie Royal (Denver Broncos) @ Washington

Royal had his second-most productive game of the season on Monday, catching five passes for 74 yards in Denver’s loss to Pittsburgh. But there have been too many games with two, one, or even zero catches this season to be able to trust him against the team with the top-rated pass defense in the game.
Point Projection: 3 points

68. Jason Hill (San Francisco 49ers) vs. Chicago

Hill had a career going approximately nowhere until last week, when he matched his career total for touchdown catches with two in the Niners’ loss to the Titans. Those two receptions were half of the four he had on the day, to go with 50 receiving yards. After being a no-show for so long, suddenly putting him in your lineup is unwise, but he’s at least on the radar.
Point Projection: 2 points

69. Antwaan Randle El (Washington Redskins) vs. Denver

Randle El is nothing more than a possession-type receiver, and he’s shown it throughout the season. He actually had one solid game this season – with over 90 yards in Week 1, but since then has not cracked 40 yards. Against a tough Broncos pass defense, he’ll stay under that threshold.
Point Projection: 2 points

70. Michael Jenkins (Atlanta Falcons) @ Carolina

Last week, Jenkins had just one catch for five yards while being targeted by Falcons gun-slinger Matt Ryan only a single time. The caveat to that is Atlanta was playing the Redskins, who have the top-rated pass defense in football. Unfortunately, they play the Panthers this week, who are seventh.

WEEK 10 BYE WEEK WIDE RECEIVERS

Andre Johnson (Houston Texans) - With 800 receiving yards on the year, Johnson leads all receivers in that category. Still, his fantasy owners wouldn’t mind a few more TDs as Johnson has only four on the year, all of which came in two outings.

Kevin Walter (Houston Texans) - Walter has been utterly disappointing to his fantasy owners this season as the wide out has done little outside of the 16 points he had in his first game of the year. The good news, though, is that with Owen Daniels out last week, Walter had his second best day of the year with 67 receiving yards. Perhaps the wide out will be able to get on track in the second half of the season.

Steve Smith (New York Giants) - Smith is doing his best to make it so the Carolina Panthers’ Steve Smith is the other Steve Smith. On the year, the Giants’ new leading man has racked up 719 receiving yards and 5 TDs.

Hakeem Nicks (New York Giants) - After a streak of four straight games with a TD, the rookie wide out was kept out of the endzone in both of the Giants’ last two games. However, the Giants like what they have in the rookie and will look to use the bye week to get him more involved in the game plan moving forward.

Mario Manningham (New York Giants) - Manningham looked like he’d be the wide out to emerge out the Giants’ young receiving corps with two big weeks to start the season; however, his production since then has been sporadic. It doesn’t help his cause that Hakeem Nicks is a more talented version of himself.
