Top fantasy NLLers to watch week 10

Top Defender: Stephen Hoar. Spending a lot of fantasy dollars on top defenders isn't the way to go if you want a lot of fantasy points, but if you're looking for a player who has been consistent this season, add Hoar to your roster. He too will be taking draws against Colorado, so points could add up for him this weekend.Top Transition Player: Jay Thorimbert. As Buffalo's leader at the face-off dot this season, Thorimbert has been able to snag a lot of loose ball fantasy points. He will be taking draws this week against Colorado who has a below average face-off corps.Top Forward: Shawn Evans. He is Fantasy NLL's top performer so far this season, so expect another high-scoring game out of this gritty forward, especially since the Roughnecks are taking on one of the worst defenses in the league.View the list »
Edmonton and Rochester have byes this week, so be sure to remove those players from your fantasy roster.

The Colorado Mammoth will play back-to-back games this weekend against East Division foes. Their week 10 match-ups take the Mammoth to Ontario on Friday as they face they Rock; then south to Buffalo on Saturday to take on the Bandits.

Colorado, currently the worst team in the NLL with a record of 2-6, is desperately looking to find their winning ways from just a year ago when they were one of the top teams in the league.

Another Friday night match-up will take place in Alberta when the Calgary Roughnecks host the Minnesota Swarm. Both teams have seen their records slip in recent weeks, so a win for either team is crucial when it comes to playoff positioning in the West Division.

The final game of the weekend pits two of the NLL's best as the Washington Stealth (6-4) travel into Philadelphia to take on the Wings (5-3). Both teams have skillful face-off specialists, talented stars on offense, and some of the best goaltenders in the world.

While selecting your fantasy line-up this week, be sure not to assign Edmonton Rush and Rochester Knighthawks players to your roster since they both have byes. The following players are primed for a monster fantasy week, so you should select these players if you can fit them under your team's salary cap.
