Fantasy football projections, Week 10: Browns-Ravens featuring Terrelle Pryor, Mike Wallace, Terrance West, more

The Week 10 matchup between the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens features two severely underachieving teams. We’ve got the fantasy projections courtesy of numberFire.

The Baltimore Ravens have given up the fourth-most points in the NFL to wide receivers this season. That’s good news for the Browns’ No. 1 man Terrelle Pryor. Pryor has been targeted 20 times in the last two weeks combined. Even with Corey Coleman returning from injury, Pryor caught five passes for 47 yards and his fourth touchdown of the season against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. Nobody on the team is going to compete with Pryor for targets. He should be all over the Ravens in Week 10. Surpassing his projections likely isn’t going to be an issue.

Fantasy owners of running back Isaiah Crowell wish they could say the same thing. He posted just 4 rushing yards on six carries against the Cowboys last week. Crowell now has less than 30 yards rushing in four of his last five games. If not for a 44-yard reception out of the backfield, his stat line would have been completely embarrassing even in PPR formats. Crowell needs to bounce backs huge against the Ravens, but right now that seems unlikely. Week 10 is shaping up to be another disappointment.

Wide receiver Mike Wallace has recorded 14 catches for 244 receiving yards and a touchdown in the last two weeks combined. He was very fortunate to put up big numbers against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. His four catches for 124 yards represented his highest yardage total of the season. The majority of those yards came on a 95-yard touchdown catch. It now stands as the longest play in Ravens history. Wallace has never been one for racking up receptions, but he’s done well getting open for big plays down the field. With the way he is playing right now, Wallace has to be in fantasy lineups against the Browns. A betting man might suggest that he will calm down a little bit however, so surpassing his projections for the third week in a row might not be realistic. That said, he has a hot hand right now.

Fantasy owners of running back Terrance West better hope that Wallace can create some room for his teammate. While Wallace was making history against the Steelers, West totaled just 27 yards despite touching the ball 16 times in the victory. Coach John Harbaugh might just provide more carries to rookie Kenneth Dixon moving forward. West’s leash has been short for his entire career. If he doesn’t surpass his projections in Week 10, his touches may get reduced for the rest of the season. Perhaps the reality of that staring West in the face will be enough to get him motivated.
