Fantasy Football Week Ten: Quarterback Cellar-Dweller Helpers

We know Drew Brees has a nice match-up with the St. Louis Rams, Brett Favre should be able to own the Detroit Lions, and that Aaron Rodgers is a pretty safe call, regardless of who he is facing this season.

But what about the bottom-feeders? You know, the cellar-dwellers. For the unlucky few that have to actually consider starting these guys, the real question is which of these pathetic passers is actually usable in Week Ten ?

Suprisingly, there's a few of them. Believe it or not, in the land of Jamarcus Russells, there are a few of these guys that can step up and do a decent impression of an NFL quarterback. It usually only lasts a week, and they need a great match-up to pull it off, but the talent is there, people, oh, it's there .

Take a look at five guys that you should never, ever, ever think about starting—except for this week:

Chad Henne (Miami Dolphins)

OK, so he's not horrific by any means, but if he's your regular QB1, it's safe to say you're not playing for the first round bye.

Henne has been a respectable and so-so QB2 if you've been desperate, but this week could actually make him look like a damn good quarterback. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers can't do hardly anything positive on defense, and with Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams having one of their easiest games to date, Henne could post some fine numbers.

Vince Young (Tennessee Titans)

I know the Buffalo Bills pass defense has been killing opposing quarterbacks, and I know that while VY is undefeated as a starter this season, it's about as hard to trust him as your starter as it is to remember your ATM card code at a casino, but you must give in to the "match-up call" this week.

The Bills defense could still make Young look lame, but with Chris Johnson running wild and making things extremely easy on the passing game, I'm actually calling for a solid stat-line. He won't go all "Tom Brady" or anything, but 200-plus yards and a couple of scores should be enough to blow your mind and call me a genius .

Mark Sanchez (New York Jets)

Mr. Sanchize has his confidence back , has a healthy and eager-to-break-out receiving corps, and a ground game that has been clicking for over three straight weeks.

And you were excited to grab him up before . Throw in the fact that the former USC product gets to sling passes through the extremely beatable Jaguars pass defense, and you've got yourself a nice little Sunday gem.

He won't ever be a reliable option in 2009 with his inconsistency and offensive philosophy, but for Week Ten, he could save your team .

Josh Freeman (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

Freeman trounced the Packers, and he did it almost all out of the shot-gun. The rookie threw for over 200 yards and three scores in his NFL debut, and will get another week of the delicious meal "bad pass defense" in a match-up with the Miami Dolphins.

Miami is starting two rookies who got lit-up by Randy Moss last week, and while the Bucs don't have anyone of that stature on their roster that can dominate, Freeman has looked good enough to warrant another shot at proving it wasn't a fluke.

Jamarcus Russell (Oakland Raiders)

How many games before he gets flat-out released or benched? More importantly, how many games is it humanly possible for a guy with a rocket arm to go without putting up anything that resembles any king of fantasy numbers?

Lord knows the guy could go a full 16-game season without impressing anyone, but there's just too much raw talent to not hope for one tiny out-burst in Russell's brainless, yet brawny body.

The Chiefs aren't a great team, don't have a great defense, and got destroyed by Mike Sims-Walker last week. The Raiders don't have a Mike Sims-Walker, but they do have Zach Miller, and the Chiefs' pass defense is all kinds of horrible.

There are a few other bottom-feeding options to mull over, but considering match-ups, talent and supporting cast, these guys are actually not horrible suggestions.

Hell, they very well could be, but sometimes, especially if you're desperate enough to even be considering these options, you need to throw caution to the wind and take a shot in the dark.

Even if that shot is with a highly inaccurate pistol with the the name "Jamarcus Russell" carved into the side of it.
