Fantasy Football Start Em & Sit Em: Week 10

Last week, in one of my leagues, thanks to Reggie Wayne's two-point conversion on Sunday night, I suffered a devastating 101 to 100 defeat. So, when we say that every point matters, believe us.

To ensure that you're starting and sitting the right guys for Week 10, milking every possible point out of your fantasy lineup, please take advantage of the Bruno Boys and our Week 10 Start Em & Sit Em report.

--------------------

QUARTERBACKS - START 'EM

Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons) vs. New Orleans

Despite all the impressive performances from this year's rookie running-back class, Falcons' quarterback Matt Ryan is making a strong case for rookie of the year honors. Remember, Atlanta's identity before Ryan's arrival was that of a team in turmoil, a team still reeling from the Michael Vick and Bobby Petrino fiascos.

Now, just a year removed from all the ugly, the Falcons are simply winners. As a rookie, Ryan has shown great poise under center, and he simply looks better and better as the season progresses. In his last four games, Ryan has thrown for seven TDs to just four INTs and put up 14+ fantasy points in each outing.

Look for him to continue his solid play and his march towards rookie of the year with another strong outing against the 25th-ranked pass defense of the New Orleans Saints.

Jake Delhomme (Carolina Panthers) @ Oakland

Jake Delhomme has been a rock for fantasy owners of late, tallying 15 or more fantasy points in four of the Panthers' last five games. Delhomme has done a good job at carving up team's in the lower half of the league when it comes to pass defense, and good news for his owners, the Oakland Raiders rank 18th against the pass, giving up over 215 yards per game and allowing 11 passing TDs on the year. A 200-yard effort, along with 2 scores, propelling Delhomme to his fifth game out of the last sixth with 15+ fantasy points, is a solid possibility.

Brady Quinn (Cleveland Browns) vs. Denver

Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but it sure looks like the Browns knew what they were doing in waiting to throw Quinn into the starting role until this Week 10 matchup with the Denver Broncos.

I mean, who wouldn't want to start their NFL career as a quarterback against a team that has allowed 243.2 passing yards per game along with 12 TDs on the season, while only intercepting quarterbacks three times?

Quinn will have his ups and downs as he finishes the year off for the Browns, but it looks like he'll start things off on a high note. If you're one of the owners in your league dealing with quarterback issues, do not be afraid to use Quinn this week.

--------------------

QUARTERBACKS - SIT 'EM

Matt Cassel (New England Patriots) vs. Buffalo

Aww, Cassel, the original backup to grace us with his presence this 2008 season. With strong outings in Week Seven (19 fantasy points) and Week Eight (12 fantasy points), it looked like Matt Cassel, while never being Tom Brady, could play himself into a solid fantasy option; however, a 204-yard effort with zero TDs and one INT against the Colts has dampened that notion.

Sure, Cassel excelled against Denver and St. Louis, but both of those teams rank in the bottom six among pass defenses. Against real NFL pass defenses, Cassel struggles. This week, he'll face the Bills, a team that's given up just seven passing TDs on the year, so it looks like hard times for Matty boy once more.

Rex Grossman (Chicago Bears) vs. Tennessee

To be honest, "Sexy Rexy" needs a new nickname, because there's nothing sexy about the Bears' quarterback. Sure, he led a comeback against the lowly Lions in Week Nine after Kyle Orton went down with an ankle injury, but his numbers during the comeback were not pretty. Nine for 19 passing for 58 yards, one TD, and one INT are nothing fantasy owners are going to jump at, especially when those numbers are going against a Titans' team that is giving up less than 200 passing yards per game, has only allowed four passing TDs, and has intercepted opposing quarterbacks 13 times.

Kerry Collins (Tennessee Titans) @ Chicago

The Chicago Bears can be passed on; they've proven that this year, as they currently rank 30th against the pass in the NFL, but that still doesn't mean Collins should be under center for your fantasy team in Week 10.

Collins has been a great find for the Titans' this season, but his role is strictly that of a game manager, something evidenced by the fact he has just one double-digit fantasy performance on the year.
