Fantasy Football Week 10: Randy Moss and the Other Studs You Should Sit

David DanielsNov 11, 2010

Never bench your studs: one of the most basic rules of fantasy football.

Here are five studs you should sit in week 10 though:  

In a game of match-ups, the match-ups just aren't in these players favors this week.

Honestly, I would be too chicken to bench any of these players, but if you have decent depth, that depth will most likely produce better numbers this coming Sunday.

5. Randy Moss

In his first game in a Titans' uniform, Randy Moss probably won't be overly involved in the offense.

The Titans are a run first football team.  They won't force Moss the ball while he is still learning the playbook.

The Titans opponents, the Miami Dolphins, also have cornerback in Vontae Davis who is having a great season.

4. DeSean Jackson

DeSean Jackson is the definition of explosive.  Not many cornerbacks in the NFL have the speed to stick with him, but the Washington Redskins DeAngelo Hall does.

Jackson only had three catches for 19 yards in week four against the Skins.

Hall is leading the NFL with six interceptions this season.

3. Miles Austin

Since being inserted into the Cowboys starting lineup last season, no other receiver has put up better numbers than Miles Austin.

With Jon Kitna in, Miles Austin should be out this week against the Giants.

New York's pass rush will make it difficult for the Kitna to get the ball in Austin's hands who only had three catches for 38 yards just three weeks ago against the Giants.

2. Peyton Hillis

Peyton Hillis may be the fantasy football MVP this year, Arian Foster may object, but Hillis has been amazing either way.

The Browns opponents this week are the New York Jets who boast the fourth best run defense in the league.  

Hillis has had huge weeks, and weeks where he hasn't done anything yardage wise with not much in-between.  It's hard to imagine Hillis running all over the New York Jets front seven.

1. Adrian Peterson

Bench Adrian Peterson?  Are you insane?

Possibly, but the Chicago Bears defense has the potential to absolutely shut down even the best backs in the league when their game plan is to stop the run.

The last time the Bears faced Chris Johnson, they held him to eight yards on fourteen carries.  This year they're ranked third in the league in run-stopping defense.

Again, I wouldn't have the guts, but do you?
