Warning: this is a bold start ’em sit ’em Week 10 list and is intended to be used as a guide. You are responsible for making the final decision on your fantasy football rosters. Now that you’ve been warned, let’s have some fun. Here are the players that you should start and should sit for Week 10.
Week 10 Start ’em
Derek Carr, Oak QB
This Carr is speeding through the Oakland streets looking to put on a show this weekend. On paper the matchup doesn’t bode well for Derek Carr, facing a Minnesota Vikings defense that allows the 6th fewest passing yards and only 9 passing touchdowns to quarterbacks this season. But those numbers are misleading, the Vikings haven’t faced a quarterback who is in the top half of fantasy scoring all year.
Meanwhile, Carr has been tearing up the league this season, scoring over 20 fantasy points five times this and is in the midst of three straight 20-point performances. In these last three games he has thrown 11 touchdowns to only one interception. Matter of fact, Carr has thrown multiple touchdowns in all but two games and has zero games with multiple interceptions thrown.
The second-year signal caller will be a solid Top 10 play this weekend as the Vikings will have a hard time covering the Raiders pass catchers. Expect Derek Carr to throw for his third straight 300-yard game and three touchdowns. Don’t leave this Carr in the garage this weekend, take it out and play with it.

Week 10 Sit ’em
Charcandrick West, RB KC
Since taking over the starting running back job in Kansas City, Charcandrick West has been a blessing to fantasy owners in need of running back help. Unfortunately for his owners, those blessings will come to an end this weekend.
West will find it difficult this weekend to get anything going against Denver Broncos who give up the 5th fewest rushing yards per game to opposing running backs. The Broncos run defense has been outstanding this season allowing one running back to rush over a 100 yards and that was back in Week 2. Since then, running backs are averaging 69 yards a game.
With no real help on the outside, I expect this game to be a living hell for West, seeing 8 or 9-man fronts, making it difficult for him to get anything going. Temper your expectations this weekend as West will finish with 55 rushing yards and 4 catches for 26 receiving yards.
