Week 10: On Your Mark, Get Set, Start Em’ (cont.)
By Brian McGee
Here are some Wide Receivers who will help your team this week:
WR: Danny Amendola (StL) – Amendola is Sam Bradford’s most trusted receiver, and though Danny is not a deep threat, by any means, he receives enough targets to be a good week-to-week fill-in for your wide receiving core. In his 2nd year in the NFL, his numbers are solid: 45 receptions, 379 yards, 2 touchdowns and an average of 8.4 yards per catch. With 5.5 receptions per game, he can be counted on to produce for you when needed.
Week 10 Projection: 55 yards, 1TD
WR: Michael Jenkins (ATL) – Jenkins has only played in 3 games this year, and though he has yet to find the end zone, he is averaging a respectable 60 yards per game and 17.9 yards per catch. Roddy White is listed as questionable, but is expected to play Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens. In turn, White will command a lot of attention from the Ravens’ secondary, leaving Jenkins to find the openings as the WR2. The Falcons might turn to the passing game if Michael Turner can’t get it done against the Ravens run defense.
Week 10 Projection: 65 yards, 1TD

Welcome to the Shack!
Fantasy Sports Shack is a place for stats, opinions, information and links to the important stuff that will help you win a fantasy title, with a focus on football and baseball.
We want to know what a player has done for the last few years, their trends and projections for this year. We want to know sleepers who are going to make a difference, rookies who will shine and veterans who will bounce back. We want to know about the impact of the latest injuries, retirements and… well, legal issues. We want to know it before the next guy (or girl – the Shack doesn’t discriminate!), and we want to share it with you!
We’re just a group of fans who love fantasy sports. Some of us are new to the game, others have been playing for more than 15 years, on a number of platforms, with a variety of people. And not to boast, but we do okay. We’ve got the 4-time king (including a 3-peat) of an uber-competitive baseball league, a 2-time defending fantasy football champion and a top 3 fantasy football finisher for 6 years running. Just want to let you know we’re not yanking your chain when we offer our opinion. And that’s what we’re here to do, give you our opinion.
Opinion is what the Fantasy Sports Shack is all about. We’ll give you ours, so don’t be afraid to give us yours.
