Week 10 Start and Sit: Aaron Rodgers' Turn for a Bounce Back

Last week it was Kurt Warner and Brandon Jacobs due for a fantasy turn-around. This time, it is Aaron Rodgers' turn.

After throwing three interceptions and losing on the road in Tampa Bay, Rodgers and the Packers return home this weekend to face the Dallas Cowboys. Now it still is about midseason in the NFL, but if ever there was a "must win" game this is it for the Packers.

The loss was not a complete wash for Rodgers in terms of fantasy value. He totaled three touchdowns in the game. But obviously it could have been a little better without the turnovers.

Expect Rodgers to bounce back nicely with the support of the home crowd against a surging Cowboys team.

A few injury updates before this week's start/sit advice:

Clinton Portis, RB, Redskins : After getting knocked out last weekend in Atlanta, Portis has been ruled out for this Sunday's game against the Broncos. Popular week 10 waiver wire add Ladell Betts will start in his place. No word on how long this will keep Portis out of action but his body certainly could use the rest.

Brian Westbrook, RB, Eagles : Westy returned to a full practice yesterday and is slated to start this weekend at San Diego. However, he was cleared to play last week before a post-concussion headache sprung up on Friday before the game. Keep a close eye on his situation.

Anquan Boldin, WR, Cardinals : A one-week hiatus from football was apparently long enough for Boldin. He has practiced at full capacity this week and ready to start this weekend against the Seahawks. His presence in the lineup certainly negates some of the value Steve Breaston had been building for himself again this year.

Start 'em

Quarterbacks

Aaron Rodgers vs. Cowboys
After throwing three interceptions against the Bucs last weekend, Rodgers certainly is due for a big game in front of the home crowd.

Matt Hasselbeck @ Cardinals
Hopefully this potential shoot-out in the desert lives up to the billing.

Running Backs

Marshawn Lynch @ Titans
Lynch has had a few decent outings since returning from suspension, he could be due for a big one for the first time this year.

Ladell Betts vs. Broncos
No Clinton Portis means plenty of opportunity for Betts, who also is a good pass-catcher out of the backfield.

Wide Receivers

Derrick Mason @ Browns
Mason is a throwback to the old school and should have a solid outing on Monday Night Football.

Hines Ward vs. Bengals
Ward is having one of the best seasons of his career. Fantasy owners are glad to have him these days.

Tight End

Brent Celek @ Chargers
Always start your tight end when he plays against the Chargers.

Sit 'em

Quarterbacks

Carson Palmer @ Steelers
This game could be more about the running game than the passing game for Cincinnati, especially on the road.

Kyle Orton @ Redskins
Now that the Broncos appear to be who we thought they were, Orton becomes a risky start for fantasy owners.

Running Backs

Julius Jones @ Cardinals
Perhaps Julius Jones would be better suited with the Jags because he tends to fair unwell on the road.

Kevin Smith @ Vikings
Minnesota is coming off a bye and returning to the comfort of home; This may as well just be another bye week.

Wide Receivers

Austin Collie/Pierre Garcon vs. Patriots
Not sure how these rookies will fair against a scheming defense as good as the Pats.

Roy Williams @ Packers
Williams clearly has become a lesser option in the Cowboys' passing game.

Tight End

Jason Witten @ Packers
Witten owners can thank me after this weekend. My sit advice when it comes to studs usually ends up rejuvenating the player.
