I've been a Vikings fan for a near-intolerable three decades of my life. I'm pretty critical of Kirk Cousins, which is justified and a taek that everybody likes to hear week in and week out, right? The 2022 NFL season gave us several of the worst games in recent and distant memory, but Bills/Vikings games lit up the internet with one of the most dramatic final 2 minutes of regulation followed by a dramatic end zone interception to finish the game in the Vikings' favor. If only every quarter could be the fourth quarter.  Maybe one day your team will be as cardiac-stopping as mine. Let's see what else happened for week 10 of 2022 fantasy football.

Just the other day I dropped my Biggest Busts of the Fantasy Football Season, so why not lighten the mood this time around? Let’s have a little fun. Let’s smile and laugh at our fantasy football glory. Here come the most pleasant surprises of the season… 

Quarterback Surprises – We all knew Geno Smith would be a Hall of Famer 

Runner-up: Justin Fields

Biggest surprise: Geno Smith 

I spent the last piece ragging on Russell Wilson, so I have to dovetail by praising the almighty Geno Smith. Please, blog, may I have some more?

I mean I'm no Grey's Anatomy expert. Wait, actually I am! Remember that time Meredith Grey un-died for the sixth time after being saved by her third surprise half-sister? I suppose after watching 15 seasons of a medical drama, I'm probably an expert on health issues, such as the [checks notes] ulnar collateral ligament. Gross! Why did I ever agree to do the injury report if I can't even spell out body parts? OK, EWB, time to soldier through, just like Meredith's biological sister when she...oh! I almost spoiled McSteamy for you! So, instead of waxing poetic about my favorite soap opera / medical drama, let's jump in to the stuff you're actually here for: discussions of frayed elbow ligaments. 
If you have spent any time reading this column, you know that it has been a tough year for the NFL's Thursday Night Football. Luckily, that all changed this week thanks in part to the uber-talented rosters of the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers going head-to-head. There's not much that gets a football fan's blood boiling more than a querterback showdown of Marcus Mariota and PJ Walker, and running back rooms fronted by Cordarrelle Patterson and D'Onta Foreman. Add in five field goals in four quarters and you've got yourself an instant classic on primetime TV. Now, this wasn't the worst game of the season, not by any stretch of the imaginiation. But top fantasy options like Patterson (2.5 half-PPR points), Kyle Pitts (3.8 points) and DJ Moore (4.9 points) all crapped the bed, while Foreman (19.0 points), Laviska Shenault (13.4 points) and Drake London (12.3 points) shined to varying degrees. Safe to say, this was not a joyous day for most fantasy owners. Memes portraying Mariota as a trash can in a squad car have surfaced, which is honestly an insult to garbage disposal devices everywhere. This game was really between the Splatlanta Fartcons and the Terdalina Pantnerds. And yes, that is really the best I could come up with. It's clearly time for some deep introspection. 
This DFS Flash article goes position by position, giving you my favorite pay up option and my favorite pay down or dart throw option at each position to help you build out a winning DFS lineup. I use DraftKings pricing as a point of reference to seek out some values, and the goal is to help you “double up” in a 50/50 cash game with solid plays.

Each week we’ll take a look at the top trade targets for each position. Trade targets can be any player at any time throughout the season. The objective (when possible) is to “buy low” and “sell high,” acquiring and getting rid of players as they are hitting their peak or before they lose their value. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Before the fantasy football season starts, we all think we know everything, right? We’ve seen all of the expert rankings – including our very own Razzball rankings – and we’ve made our own personal determinations based on personnel, coaching staffs, analytics and those magical gut feelings that lead us to the Promised Land.
