Week 10 Start Em Sit Em: The Inside Scoop on Must-Start Players

What you need to know about some of the must-start players in Week 10 of the NFL season:

Tim Tebow, Broncos

Love the guy or hate him as a conventional quarterback, Tebow has the respect of the fantasy football community. The touchdowns and yards passing are scarce and sporadic, but Tebow does his major damage on the ground. In all four of the games Tebow has played in this season, he has delivered five or more fantasy points rushing the football. Add in even modest throwing totals and you get a top 10 fantasy quarterback for the rest of this season.

Chris Johnson, Titans

It's understandable if there is hesitation to keep Johnson in your fantasy lineup. He's been bad, for lack of a better word, in 2011. However, he gave us a glimpse of hope last week going over 100 total yards against the Bengals. He now gets his best matchup of the season in Carolina, where the Panthers' fantasy defense against running backs rank dead last.

Steven Jackson, Rams

With 130 more yards on Sunday against the Cardinals, Jackson is continuing his recent tear of big performances. Simply put, Jackson has been one of the better running backs in the NFL since returning from his quad injury. Jackson should find plenty of running room against the Browns, who allowed over 250 rushing yards last week against the Texans.

Earl Bennett, Bears

The matchup against the Lions is a perfect one, but you can once again see the chemistry between quarterback Jay Cutler and Bennett. The duo were teammates in college at Vanderbilt. In his first major action of the 2011 season on Monday night, Bennett caught eight passes for 95 yards and a score.

Plaxico Burress, Jets

It's well-documented how poor the Patriots are against the pass in 2011. With some encouraging results from Burress in the past two weeks, he might have a breakout game vs. New England. Burress has over 130 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games.
