Nolan Patrick Jersey . The roster changes have been constant and continuous since late last year, but even with their 46-man roster set for the start of the season, the banged-up Bombers will be kicking off Week 1 with a handful of fresh faces and back-ups in the starting lineup.It was a great week for receivers as Mike Evans and Michael Thomas both scored two touchdowns and made their cases for catch of the season. Tight end Jimmy Graham scored on a one-handed catch, and running back Melvin Gordon compiled over 250 yards from the line of scrimmage. This week, there are more great fantasy match ups, and plenty of opportunities to lift ailing franchises, or strengthen league leaders ready for a play-off push. NFL Fantasy expert Adam Rank believes that Green Bay Packers running back James Starks is the man to bring on to your roster in week 10. Starks would have been dropped in many leagues following surgery to a knee injury that has kept him off the field for the last four weeks. Though he may not be ready for an immediate return, the seven-year veteran could see action down the stretch. Adam Rank looks at whos hot and whos not from the NFL Rank also advises filling your wide receiver slots with Arizzona Cardinals pass catchers, such as John Brown, JJ Nelson or Michael Floyd for their week 10 game against the San Francisco 49ers.ddddddddddddIn fact anybody that plays the struggling 49ers can be hot, according to Rank. Quarterback Carson Palmer may be a streaming option if your starting QB is on a bye this week. Adam Rank picks out the best waiver wire value as look ahead to week ten of the NFL. Despite being an outside for NFL MVP, Raiders passer Derek Carr is not the answer for fantasy points. Carr played well in Oaklands win against the Denver Broncos, but didnt throw a touchdown or make any dynamic runs.The Raiders are now on a bye week, so Carr could be used as trade bait to score a more reliable quarterback?
