Picks to click in Week 10.

Matt Schaub (Texans, QB): Many will have trepidation about plugging Schaub in their lineup this week after underperforming most of the season. The Texans have found a dominant feature running back in Arian Foster and the pass has become a second option. This week, the matchup against the Jaguars will get Schaub back on track. The Jaguars don't put pressure on the quarterback, rank 28th against the pass and have allowed 17 passing touchdowns.

David Garrard (Jaguars, QB): Garrard has been very good or awful. He is coming off a terrific performance two weeks ago against the Cowboys when he accounted for five TDs. Garrard has come through when the matchup is favorable and this week against the Texans, it doesn't get any better. The Texans haven't stopped anybody, allowing 20 passing TDs and rank last against the pass. There is some risk because Garrard can be erratic, but if you don't have a clear-cut better QB, he is a good play.

Shaun Hill (Lions, QB): The volume will be there for Hill and he has produced good fantasy numbers. In the four games he has played the entire way, Hill has attempted at least 32 passes and at least 43 in three games. The Bills rank sixth against the pass, but they have allowed 17 passing TDs.

Jahvid Best (Lions, RB): Best hasn't topped 50 rushing yards in the last three games, but is still involved in the passing game, helping out in PPR leagues. Best did look better last week when he had room to run against the Jets. He should have plenty of space to run against the Bills, who rank last against the run.

Cedric Benson (Bengals, RB): Benson has endured some tough matchups the last few weeks and some people might have the urge to bench him. Expect Benson to bounce back against the Colts, who rank 29th against the run.

Tim Hightower (Cardinals, RB): Hightower has the opportunity for a lot of carries with Beanie Wells likely out and the Seahawks' defense isn't playing well.

Mike Sims-Walker (Jaguars, WR): Until the Texans prove they can stop anybody, wide receivers who oppose them are good plays. Sims-Walker has produced two zeros this season, but he's a better bet for a TD here.

Lee Evans (Bills, WR): The emergence of Ryan Fitzpatrick has helped the Bills' offense and Evans finally has a quarterback who will get him the ball deep. Evans has at least five catches in three of the last four games and could see more targets with the season-ending injury to Roscoe Parrish.

Dez Bryant (Cowboys, WR): There was no doubt Bryant would emerge at some point with his immense talent. Jon Kitna has shown an affinity for Bryant, who has 16 catches for 170 yards with a TD the last two games. Even in a tough matchup against the Giants, the Cowboys should pass often.

Mario Manningham (Giants, WR): Steve Smith is out with an injury and Manningham gets to feast on a defense that can't stop anyone.

Marcedes Lewis (Jaguars, TE): Lewis gets a lot of targets in the red zone and with a matchup against the Texans coupled with the myriad injuries at tight end, Lewis is a top-five option this week. He has seven TDs.

Brandon Pettigrew (Lions, TE): Shaun Hill loves throwing to the tight end and Pettigrew has a good rapport with him.

Sleepers: Sam Bradford (Rams), Mike Goodson (Panthers), Chester Taylor (Bears), Javarris James (Colts), Nate Washington (Titans), Jacoby Jones (Texans).
