NFL Week 10: Players to consider starting or sitting in fantasy leagues

As we reach the midpoint of the fantasy football season, the performance of players has been unpredictable, with some shining brightly while others remain under the radar. To assist you in navigating this unpredictable landscape, here are the top sit/start recommendations for Week 10.

**Quarterbacks**

**Start: Aaron Rodgers, Jets at Cardinals**
Rodgers has been in excellent form since reconnecting with Davante Adams, showcasing his best performance of the season lately. He threw for a season-high of three touchdowns last week and has gone without an interception over the past two games. This week, he faces a favorable matchup against the Cardinals, making him a strong starter.

**Other recommended options:**
— Jared Goff at Texans
— Daniel Jones at Panthers
— Sam Darnold at Jaguars
— Joe Burrow at Ravens

**Avoid: Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs vs Broncos**
Although Mahomes had an impressive outing last week, tallying 300 yards and three touchdowns, this week’s matchup presents challenges. The Broncos’ defense is tough against the pass and Mahomes has not exceeded 15 fantasy points against top-tier secondaries this season. For this reason, it’s advisable to steer clear of Mahomes this week.

**Running Backs**

**Start: Tyrone Tracy, Giants at Panthers**
Tracy has emerged as the main runner for the Giants, surpassing Devin Singletary in the depth chart. In Week 9, he recorded 16 carries for 66 yards, and now he is up against the Panthers, who are the most favorable matchup for opposing running backs this week. Expect Daniel Jones to heavily rely on the run game to secure a victory.

**Other recommended options:**
— Bijan Robinson at Saints
— Breece Hall at Cardinals
— Jonathan Taylor vs Bills
— JK Dobbins vs Titans

**Avoid: Javonte Williams, Broncos at Chiefs**
Williams may be receiving most of the carries in Denver, but he has only found the end zone twice this season. He has yet to rush for over 100 yards, and with the Chiefs boasting the best run defense in the league, Williams is not a reliable choice for this week.

**Wide Receivers**

**Start: Brian Thomas Jr., Jaguars vs Vikings**
Thomas Jr. has had a productive season, scoring four touchdowns across the last six games while achieving over 50 yards in three of those contests. Despite a quiet performance last week, he faces the Vikings this week, presenting an opportunity for redemption against a favorable matchup.

**Other recommended options:**
— Tank Dell vs Lions
— DeVonta Smith at Cowboys
— Zay Flowers vs Bengals
— Garrett Wilson at Cardinals

**Avoid: Marvin Harrison Jr., Cardinals vs Jets**
Harrison Jr. entered the season with high expectations as a rookie but has shown inconsistency, alternating between standout games and struggles. Facing a tough Jets secondary that previously contained CJ Stroud last week does not bode well for Harrison Jr. this week.

**Tight Ends**

**Start: Jake Ferguson, Cowboys vs Eagles**
While Ferguson may not face the best matchup statistically, he is likely to receive numerous targets due to the current circumstances surrounding the Cowboys’ offense. With Dak Prescott sidelined and CeeDee Lamb uncertain due to injury, Ferguson could emerge as a critical component of the passing game, making him a viable starter in fantasy formats.

**Other recommended options:**
— Evan Engram vs Vikings
— Jonnu Smith at Rams
— Hunter Henry at Bears
— Cade Otton at 49ers

**Avoid: Dalton Schultz, Texans vs Lions**
Schultz has not been a significant part of the Texans’ offense this season, even with some key receivers missing. The Texans’ offensive line issues further limit his effectiveness, and facing a Lions defense ranked second overall against tight ends, his chances for a productive game are slim this week.
