Buy, Sell, Hold for Fantasy Football Week 10: Are We Falling for Seattle's RB Timeshare Again?

I have a case of the bubble guts. And it's making me want to sell more than buy at this point…

It's time to rid my fantasy football roster of the junk that's weighing me down!

BUY: A Saints Rookie

I'm trying to win a championship. And taking a risk might be the way to do it…

Jordyn Tyson | WR | NO

Let's clear the air.

Am I a Saints fan? Yes.
Do I often overvalue rookies? Yes.
Do hamstring injuries scare me? Also yes.

Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about Jordyn Tyson.

The good news is that Tyson didn't have a huge first week back from injury (4-30-0), so his stock is still decently priced on hopes and dreams, without any real production to back it up… yet.

But there's a world where Tyson ascends to WR2 numbers under Tyler Shough. Shough just threw for 21-265-1 against a stingy Browns defense in Week 9. If they couldn't keep him down, I'm excited to see what Shough & Co. can do against their next few matchups*.

This New Orleans offense continues to give us reasons to believe that it's a fantasy goldmine. Despite the downs, they continue to pay off. And if you ever wanted a piece of NO for cheap, now would be the time… before Tyson's 25% TPRR turns into TDs and fantasy points.

*Note: Tampa Bay's defense in Week 15 and Week 18 does scare the ever-living sh*t out of me…

SELL: Timeshare Backs

The signs are there. The red flags are flying. So I'm selling, not buying.

Jadarian Price & Zach Charbonnet | RBs | SEA

It was damn fun watching Emanuel Wilson score fantasy points as the RB1 in Seattle, wasn't it? But now, with Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet both healthy, I can hear the siren song in the distance…

But I will not fall for it.

Price & Charbonnet in their first two games back from injury:

Price: RB39, RB19
Charbonnet: RB40, RB22

The Sirens, seductive as they may be, sing a song of falsified RB1 potential. They are trying to lure us back into a shipwreck (read: RBBC). But I believe that neither Price nor Charbonnet will be a consistent RB1 on the Seahawks' depth chart.

We JUST WATCHED Seattle stifle and mute and silence Kenneth Walker into being just another committee RB alongside Charbonnet last season. And like all those cheesy inspirational TikTok videos say: When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Plug your ears! And sell high while the Sirens still sing out to everyone else.

***Note: SEA has a nice matchup against LV in Week 10. (They just allowed 11-70-0 to Kaelon Black despite also allowing Christian McCaffrey's top-4 RB performance during the same 60 minutes.) So, if you want to sell after Week 10, I'd support that, too. But don't let the singing pull you in too deep.

MarShawn Lloyd & Kaleb Johnson | RBs | GB

WELCOME TO "Who Will Succeed In Josh Jacobs' Absence?"

Look, we played this game already.

And it wasn't fun.

MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson are the obvious options to consider, but neither RB made much of a name for himself during the first half of the season. Despite one single outlier game where they each finished in the top-12, they weren't startable fantasy options.

But look. I understand that the context matters. So if you're absolutely-positively-without-a-doubt desperate enough to need either Lloyd or Johnson on your roster… STILL, DON'T DO IT. Find another path.

The Packers' next matchups:

Tough. No good. Yuck.

And by the time GB hits a soft RB schedule, Jacobs will likely be back.

Woody Marks | RB | HOU

Houston is a pass-friendly fantasy point bonanza (more on this below). But I do not want anything to do with their run game.

Not anymore.

Not because Woody Marks isn't seeing the ball. He is.

Week 5: 15-62-0
Week 6: 15-56-0
Week 7: 19-66-0
Week 8: Bye
Week 9: 18-70-0

But he's doing jack sh*t with it!

And this is coming from a Marks fan. I rooted for him. I believed the coach speak. I believed in the "Marks takeover" narrative. But now that he's had his chance… (Roughly 17 chances a game)... He's wasted that time, barely cracking the top 25!

Add in the fact that David Montgomery will eventually return… and I want out IMMEDIATELY.

Because what if…

What if Marks' 9.2 PPG as the "RB1 in HOU" is *gag* the ceiling.

HOLD: Houston's WR1

Don't. Give. Up. Hope.

Nico Collins | WR | HOU

Your time to sell Nico Collins was before Houston's bye. I warned you of the rotating WR1s on the Texans. You knew the risk. And while we all want a 30-point fantasy finish from Collins, it might take time to get there (with a few Xavier Hutchinson games mixed in).

C.J. Stroud is slinging the ball, albeit with poor prioritization of his WR1… but slinging it nonetheless. I mean… the dude has thrown 10 TDs in his last three games.

And let's not forget: Collins is still the most talented pass catcher on Houston's roster.

So, I'm holding. You hear me?? Stop trying to "buy low" on Collins, Rob*! I'm not selling!!

*My home league commissioner, Rob, must read Dwain McFarland's Utilization Report. But I practice what I preach. I'M HOLDING!
