Every week during the NFL season, Matthew Berry will be engaging in a discussion with an NFL expert on topics that will provide valuable insights for fantasy owners. For this pre-Week 10 edition, Berry and ESPN NFL analyst Louis Riddick weigh in on Mark Sanchez's fantasy outlook and value compared to a trio of struggling starters. Plus, they debate whether Ben Roethlisberger will stay hot and discuss what to expect from the Chiefs' Travis Kelce and De'Anthony Thomas.
Can Mark Sanchez sustain his success? Is he a starting fantasy QB?
Matthew Berry: First off, Louis, congratulations are in order: You're the first repeat Insider in this series. You did such a good job the first time around that fans demanded more.
Louis Riddick: I didn't realize that, but it's good to know.
Berry: I always tell fantasy players that "NFL Insiders" -- even though it isn't fantasy-specific -- is a great show to help you make lineup and roster decisions. You guys do a great job, and I always come away learning something from watching it. I highly recommend it for readers of this column.
The big story in the NFL and in the fantasy world this week is in Philadelphia, with Nick Foles suffering a broken collarbone and Mark Sanchez taking over as the Eagles' starting quarterback. He did well in relief Sunday, but can he achieve sustained success these next few weeks?
