Welcome to Week 10 of the 2009 NFL season. Each week I'll be revealing my Stock Exchange starting lineup to you, analyzing the players I've purchased, how much I paid for them and their matchup for that week. I'll also be including the starting lineups of five other PFW editors to give you a good idea of which players we like in that week's slate of games. Hopefully this analysis will help you make the best possible lineup and get you on your way to winning the $2,500 grand prize. Good luck!

Team Blunda

Saints QB Drew Brees ($44.01) at Rams
Brees wasn't remarkable last week against a quality Carolina pass defense, but he still came through with 330 yards and a TD. Even on his off days, Brees can still produce very acceptable fantasy stats. I have a good feeling that his numbers will be much improved this Sunday against the Rams, who have one of the worst defenses around. Hopefully the Saints don't get up by too many points and stop passing.
Week purchased: Week Six

Cardinals QB Kurt Warner ($22.17) vs. Seahawks
It didn't take long for Warner to bounce back from his five-INT day in Week Eight, throwing for 261 yards and five TDs last Sunday at Chicago. This week he gets a Seattle "D" that he already had success against earlier this season, racking up 276 yards and two TDs against them in Week Six. With a very manageable schedule on the horizon, I'm excited about Warner's prospects.
Week purchased: Week 10

Falcons RB Michael Turner ($25.40) at Panthers
Turner is officially on a tear, destroying the Redskins last week for 166 yards and two TDs on just 18 carries. That's two straight games with at least 150 yards for him and seven consecutive contests with a TD. In Week Two, Turner had a nice 28-105-1 outing against the Panthers, and I think he'll be at least that productive when he faces them this Sunday.
Week purchased: Week Nine

Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams ($16.98) vs. Falcons
There might not be a hotter back in the league right now than Williams. After last week's monster 21-149-2 performance at New Orleans, the top fantasy RB of 2008 is averaging 137 rushing yards in his last four games and has five TDs in that span. Williams has missed some practice time with a knee injury this week and is considered questionable, but as long as he's active, he should run wild over the Falcons.
Week purchased: Week Nine

Chargers WR Vincent Jackson ($24.35) vs. Eagles
If you haven't been playing close attention, you might not realize that Jackson has been the No. 1 fantasy receiver in 2009. But it's not surprising if you look at his numbers. Not only does Jackson have seven TDs this season, but he's also averaging 90.3 yards per game. He has a tough matchup this week with the Eagles, but V-Jax has been beating every "D" he's faced lately, so I'm not too worried.
Week purchased: Week Nine

Cowboys WR Miles Austin ($12.62) at Packers
For the first time since joining the starting lineup, Austin was actually held in check last week at Philly. However, he at least made his one catch count, taking it for a 49-yard TD. He'll be up against another skilled secondary this Sunday in Green Bay, but with six TDs in his last four games, Austin has simply been too hot to consider selling off right now.
Week purchased: Week Seven

Vikings WR Sidney Rice ($14.60) vs. Lions
The Vikings' leading receiver with 37 catches for 585 yards and two TDs, Rice has finally become a fantasy force, thanks in large part to the presence of QB Brett Favre. Favre clearly trusts Rice just about anywhere on the field, and the two should find themselves connecting frequently this Sunday against the Lions' dismal secondary, which has allowed 19 scoring passes.
Week purchased: Week 10

Eagles TE Brent Celek ($11.95) at Chargers
It's been a breakout season for Celek, and it just continued last week against Dallas, as he grabbed his fourth TD of 2009. Celek has established himself as an every-week starter in fantasy leagues, and his owners should be especially thrilled about his matchup this Sunday with the Chargers, who have struggled to cover opposing tight ends all year long.
Week purchased: Week Nine

Bengals PK Shayne Graham ($4.81) at Steelers
Looking for a cheap kicker as usual, Graham caught my eye this week. Although his season stats aren't anything special, he's been good for about one field goal a game, and I could see him getting added opportunities this week with the Steelers likely to stall Cincy in the red zone.
Week purchased: Week 10

New York Jets defense ($6.83) vs. Jaguars
Holding opponents to just 16.8 points per game and totaling 15 takeaways this season, the Jets have been a solid fantasy defense. I like their chances for success this week against the Jags, who have been turnover-prone. New York should force QB David Garrard into at least a pick or two.
