As we move into Week 10 of the football season, we also move into another week of my starts and sits for quarterbacks and RBs. This week, we have D’Andre Swift, Caleb Williams, Saquon Barkley, and Bucky Irving all on a bye. We are officially just a few weeks away from the fantasy football playoffs, so every week is extremely crucial over the next few weeks.

Quarterback Starts
Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints (vs. Carolina Panthers)
This is a great division matchup for Tyler Shough, as he is coming off a 19.7-point fantasy performance last week. The Saints’ offense looks interesting with Jordyn Tyson in the lineup now. Shough has another weapon who could help catapult his fantasy season. He was already heavily involved in the run game last week, rushing for 51 yards on 10 attempts.
Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers (at New Orleans Saints)
On the other side of the field, Bryce Young has been on a roll. He had a huge week last week, throwing for three touchdowns and 276 yards. He faces the Saints, who haven’t been the best against quarterbacks, giving up 18.4 fantasy points per game. This should be a high-scoring matchup.
Quarterback Sits
Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers (at Cincinnati Bengals)
Aaron Rodgers has slowed down since Week 5, and on top of that, he has a tough matchup against the Bengals. Cincinnati is giving up just 17.9 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. Rodgers hasn’t scored more than 17 fantasy points since Week 5. Since then, he has thrown three touchdowns and two interceptions over three games.
Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys (vs. San Francisco 49ers)
This is not a great matchup for the Cowboys, as the 49ers are giving up just 15.7 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. Prescott has been on a roll over the last three weeks, throwing six touchdowns and no interceptions. However, the 49ers’ defense has recorded five interceptions over that same stretch. I know the Cowboys are at home, but this defense is too good, especially if Dallas is missing George Pickens this week.
RB Starts
Breece Hall, New York Jets (vs. Buffalo Bills)
It was great to see Breece Hall back and healthy. Hall didn’t have an amazing game, but he did out-touch Braelon Allen 15-8 and was on the field for 56% of rushing plays. This was just his first game back, and it shows that Hall will be the lead back in this backfield. Hall also faces the Bills this week, who are giving up 22.5 fantasy points per game to RBs. I would feel confident starting Hall this week.
Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks (at Las Vegas Raiders)
Zach Charbonnet had 16 rushing attempts in his second game back. On those 16 attempts, he put up 77 rushing yards and caught a pass for 9 yards. This week, he faces the Raiders, who are giving up the third-most fantasy points to RBs at 24.2 per game. It’s great to see Charbonnet performing, and he should be the lead back this week in what should be a high-scoring game for the Seahawks.
RB Sits
Blake Corum, Los Angeles Rams (at Arizona Cardinals)
I know it’s tempting to start Blake Corum with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams both out. However, Corum was on the field for 41% of rushing snaps, while Kyren Williams was on the field for 31%. Williams, however, was much more active in the passing game. Corum is a boom-or-bust option when it comes to scoring a touchdown, but if I had to put my marbles in one basket, I would bet on Williams this week. Also, don’t sleep on the Cardinals, who are giving up fewer than 20 fantasy points per game to RBs.
Quinshon Judkins, Cleveland Browns (vs. Houston Texans)
Sadly, I would say it’s about time to drop or possibly trade Quinshon Judkins. He just isn’t performing and has a terrible matchup this week against the Texans. Houston is also giving up fewer than 20 fantasy points per game to RBs. Judkins has scored more than 20 fantasy points just once this season. He averaged only 2.9 yards per carry last week against a Saints team that is giving up the most fantasy points to RBs this season. If he couldn’t perform against the worst rushing defense in the league, I don’t see him going off against the Texans.
