Five early Week 10 sleepers

Check back with us for more Week 10 sleepers in our Weekly Playbook section.

LenDale White, running back, Tennessee Titans: The Buffalo Bills‘ defense is allowing an NFL-high 192.3 yards per game to backs in the past month. They have given up 1.67 touchdowns per contest, too. White is a closer and doesn’t play much if his team isn’t sitting on a comfy lead; you shouldn’t have to worry about that being a problem this week.

Ricky Williams, running back, Miami Dolphins: A matchup made in fantasy paradise: Williams and the run-first Fish versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who as seen more rushing attempts against in the past month than any team in the league. Their 158.0 yards and 1.67 touchdowns per game allowed to backs rank in the dregs of the NFL.

Paging all No. 1 WRs in Buffalo

Terrell Owens, wide receiver, Buffalo Bills: Anyone remember this TO guy? Anyone? The Titans’ pass defense has improved recently, to their credit, but they remain one of the softest in the league. The looks have been there (27 in his last three games), and quarterback Trent Edwards (concussion) should return in Week 10.

Donnie Avery, wide receiver, St. Louis Rams: Desperate times call for Donnie Avery! New Orleans’ defense has been slipping of late, registering in the 10 worst teams against the position (11.5 catches, 174.5 yards, 0.75 TDs). St. Louis may be playing catch-up most of the day, which bodes well for Avery’s fantasy prospects.

Bryant Johnson, wide receiver, Detroit Lions: The Minnesota Vikings‘ pass defense has yielded 182.0 yards and 1.33 touchdowns per game to wideouts in their last three outings. Johnson has slight fantasy value due to his matchup and Calvin Johnson (knee) seemingly working at less than 100 percent.
