Welcome to the week ten quarterback rankings.  We'll have all the rankings posted by tomorrow night with wide receivers most likely going up late tonight with backs and tight ends to follow tomorrow.  Week ten is a tough week for those who have been riding high all year with the studs.  Three of the stone-cold studs are out this week and so is Jason Campbell.  No offense, Jason.  Like I mentioned last night, we will come out with a trade deadline article next week after we put up our weekly waiver wire.  For those of you who play in leagues with no deadline, it will still be useful material.  For those who need immediate help, please feel free to use the Trade Questions Thread and we'll get back to you as quickly as possible and usually the same day.

Here are this week's bye losses.

• Philip Rivers
• Aaron Rodgers
• Jason Campbell
• Drew Brees    

Yeah, some folks are gonna feel that for sure.

RANK	PLAYER	TEAM	H/A	Opponent	THE SKINNY
1	Peyton Manning	IND	vs	CIN	He’s still got enough weapons to be the man.
2	Michael Vick	PHI	at	WAS	Perhaps a measure of revenge for Vick and the Eagles and should certainly be a nice fantasy day.
3	Joe Flacco	BAL	at	ATL	**Already Played**
4	Matt Schaub	HOU	at	JAC	This should be a nice week for Schaub. The Jags have no pass rush at this point.
5	Eli Manning	NYG	vs	DAL	Steve Smith’s absence pegs him down a few, but still looking good.
6	Brett Favre	MIN	at	CHI	A solid matchup and he’s always been a Bear killer. He’s throwing the ball well. Check Percy Harvin’s staus and consider other options if Harvin is a no go.
7	Kyle Orton	DEN	vs	KC	He’s got most of his weapons, so he’s s solid play in a tough week for QBs.
8	Ben Roethlisberger	PIT	vs	NE	His OL is an issue, but Big Ben sheds tackles like a back, so he’ll get something done.
9	Tom Brady	NE	at	PIT	His fantasy upside left with Moss, but he’s still solid and he’ll need to throw this week.
10	Carson Palmer	CIN	at	IND	His fantasy numbers are way better than his actual play, but he’s a startable guy this week.
11	David Garrard	JAC	vs	HOU	Not a bad matchup at all and he’s been playing pretty well.
12	Shaun Hill	DET	at	BUF	He’s got the weapons and it’s a great matchup. The only worry is his injury but he’s practiced in full.
13	Matt Ryan	ATL	vs	BAL	**Already played**
14	Jay Cutler	CHI	vs	MIN	Minny is having trouble rushing the passer, so Cutler should be viable this week.
15	Vince Young	TEN	at	MIA	Check status but he should have enough options to do well and Moss will open up more foot point opportunities by dragging safeties downfield.
16	Josh Freeman	TB	vs	CAR	Not a bad play with his developing weapons and his rushing production.
17	Ryan Fitzpatrick	BUF	vs	DET	He’s lost Parrish for the year, but he’s still got solid weapons and he’s playing well. Hosting Detroit is not a tough matchup, so he’s worth a shot if you need a guy.
18	Mark Sanchez	NYJ	at	CLE	Sanchez is posting mostly decent fantasy numbers and he’ll probably be ok this week if you need somebody.
19	Donovan McNabb	WAS	vs	PHI	He might bounce back. You could do worse.
20	Derek Anderson	ARI	vs	SEA	Seattle is nothing special when they travel. Anderson has equal parts upside and downside. Worth a flier if you need a guy.
21	Jon Kitna	DAL	at	NYG	He’s not mobile enough or young enough to deal with the Giants. If you own a Cowboys receiver, just hope Kitna gets out alive.
22	Matt Cassel	KC	at	DEN	Tough matchup for Cassel.
23	Matt Hasselbeck	SEA	at	ARI	Hard to trust coming off of an injury.
24	Sam Bradford	STL	at	SF	Only if you are hurting, but you could do worse.
25	Chad Pennington	MIA	vs	TEN	Chad’s not terribly mobile and the Titans will get after him. He’ll need to be on top of his game.
26	Troy Smith	SF	vs	STL	Not a great option.
27	Colt McCoy	CLE	vs	NYJ	Yikes. Tough matchup for the kid. Avoid.
28	Jimmy Clausen	CAR		TB	We still love him, but he’s in a tough spot. Avoid.
