The Day After Week 10

     Bare with me as I find a way to format this every week. I will list one player from each position in the relative categories.  This is my opinion, so feel free to scrutinize my choices.
    Week 10 is in the books and there were not many surprises.
Promotions
QB - Case Keenum (HOU)
HB - Andre Brown (NYG)
WR - Riley Cooper (PHI)
TE - John Carlson (MIN)

     Case Keenum has had back-to-back good outings and has a great relationship with Andre Johnson that gives him a higher ceiling.  Andre Brown picked up where he left off and is going to get a lot off carries in the Giant's struggling offense.  Riley Cooper is looking like a good pick up in deeper leagues as long as he has Nick Foles at the helm.  And John Carlson will step in for Kyle Rudolph in Minnesota's anemic offense, he will get targets and points.

Demotions
QB - Andy Dalton (CIN)
HB - Lamar Miller (MIA)
WR - Jordy Nelson (GB)
TE - Tony Gonzalez  (ATL)
    
      A couple weeks back I predicted Andy Dalton would have a rough few weeks, and I guessed right.  If you have him, hold on and hope for the best.  Lamar Miller did not even get a yard.  With the Martin-Incognito problem looming (and lack of those two on the field), Miller is no longer a viable fantasy option unless you like the idea of him running at lineman with virtually no line.  Jordy Nelson is a great receiver and will become relevant when Rodgers returns in a few weeks.  Till then, find a better option.  And I love Gonzo as a player, but since Julio Jones went down, he has struggled mightily.  Plus he is dealing with a mysterious toe injury.

The One Time Wonders
QB - Kellen Clemens (STL)
HB - The entire Saints HB core (NO)
WR - Tavon Austin (STL)
TE - Delanie Walker (TEN)

     Clemens is average.  His ceiling and floor are not very far apart.  If you think for one moment that Mark Ingram and Pierre Thomas will have a week like this ever again, you are smoking something.  Sproles is a legit option.  Tavon Austin broke out with 31 points and while the physical attributes are there, I just do not see him putting up anything like this again this season.  He has scored 5 points or less (four 0s) in 8 out of 10 games.  His worth is mainly in leagues that give points to returners.  Delanie Walker caught his second TD of the year against Jacksonville.  He is this years Brandon Pettigrew.  Gets a lot of yards when he feels like it.
