Start’Em
QB Lars Heidrich - Stuttgart Surge (1,630,000 GC)
Reilly Hennessey tweaked his back in warmups two weeks ago which led to another start for the homegrown quarterback. Heidrich has put up great numbers when given the chance to play. If you want to be risky and go for big points this week look for Heidrich to be your guy. His low cost and high upside against a weak Cologne defense could be a steal for you. Its hard to find a starting QB at such a low price.
WR: Aron Cruickshank - Madrid Bravos - (2,830,000 GC)
It's a must win game for the Bravos as they travel to Munich to take on the Ravens. Head coach Andrew Weidinger is going to get Cruickshank involved often. The MVP candidate could also break the ELF record for receiving yards in a season this week with a big game.
WR: Malik Stanley - Munich Ravens (2,710,000 GC)
Stanley had a huge game against the Bravos in week 8. In a rematch this weekend expect Tabor to look his way early and often as the ELF veteran could shine in the biggest game of the weekend.
RB: Nicholas Khandar - Paris Musketeers Lions (1,910,000 GC)
Khandar is due for another big game this week after scoring two touchdowns against the Centurions last week. He has been a consistent player in my fantasy team week to week as he has been a great option for Paris in the redzone.
RB: Justus Seelig - Madrid Bravos (2,430,000 GC)
Seelig was amazing a week ago against the Raiders. Whether he was running through defenders between the tackles or soaring up to catch touchdowns he was an unstoppable force both running and receiving. Expect him to get lots of touches again against the Ravens this week.
Sit’Em
QB: DJ Irons Jr - Wroclaw Panthers (3,170,000 GC)
Irons and the Panthers are up against a stacked VIkings defense this week. Wroclaw’s QB has been an intriguing fantasy add for his ability to run and pass, however this week I'd leave him on the bench against a talented Vikings defense.
RB: Chrisman Kyei - Hamburg Sea Devils (2,160,000 GC)
The talented German running back has a tough match up this week against a Nordic Storm team looking to bounce back after their first loss of the season. Even though they lost, the Storm held Frankfurt's running backs to under 50 yards on 19 carries. I expect they will make things tough for Kyei on Sunday.
WR: Willie Patterson - Prague Lions (2,580,000 GC)
The speedy veteran has been a force for the Lions offense this season. However, this week against Frankfurt I’d expect cornerback Bijon Harris to follow him throughout the game. One of the league’s most dynamic corners could slow down Patterson just enough in this matchup.
