Every Sunday morning starting at 10:00 CT (11:00 ET) we are here to answer your last minute start/sit questions.

Some fantasy owners might already be trying to “Suck For Luck”, but for those of you still in the race here are some last minute tips on some players who may surprise or disappoint.

It’s been a crazy, inconsistent first half of football. Maybe your fantasy team is more consistent than mine has been. Maybe you have one of these these fellas on your team. Either way, I hope you’re doing better than me.
Let’s take a look at the injuries for the week!

Thursday games are here! College basketball is here! WSOP wrapped up, but the replays are going on.
Between all of this excitement (and this vile madness), it may be tough to do the research on your players; I know it was for me. But with the fantasy playoffs in sight, and another freeroll tournament you really should participate in, these last few weeks are pivotal in assuring you make it to the playoffs.

Update: Our Week 10 start em, sit em advice is posted, and this week’s post includes an opportunity for one MSF reader to win free NFL tickets. Make sure you check it out after you finish going through the waiver pickups.
There are no teams on bye in Week 10, but don’t let that lull you into a false sense of security.
The Texans, Colts, Saints, and Steelers are all on bye in Week 11, which means a lot of fantasy firepower will be sitting on benches during one of the final weekends of playoff positioning.
Don’t get caught snoozing; take this opportunity not just to improve your lineup for Week 10 but also to plan ahead for any lineup vacancies impending next week.
Before we being the updated rankings, a quick rundown of this week’s content: waiver wire sleepers for Week 10; Ryan’s sleeper picks; start em, sit em projections for Week 10; Friday injury updates.
Make sure you peruse it all and leave no stone unturned. It’s crunch time. Every decision from here on out could be the difference between making the playoffs and not making the playoffs.
And that’s why I’m back with an updated edition of this week’s rankings. A lot has changed since Tuesday when I posted my initial rankings. Let’s see how the players stack up against one another now (with Falcons and Ravens players simply left alone.)
These rankings from Tuesday of Week 10. Check out our updated Week 10 rankings, posted Friday.
My waiver wire sleepers for Week 10 are posted, as are Ryan’s sleeper picks. I also posted my start em, sit em projections for Week 10 earlier this morning.
That means there is only one thing left to get up here on another busy fantasy football Tuesday morning: the weekly rankings.
Only four teams are on bye this week, as opposed to six the last two weeks, so the player poor is a big larger. That should be helpful for the astute managers out there, especially as the stakes get higher and the injuries stack up.
Remember in the movie Men In Black how they had that little device that could wipe someone’s memory clean? After last week, I wouldn’t mind someone doing that to me.
Though I did a good job answering specific questions with all relevant lineup/league info (as I feel I usually do), Week 9 was certainly less than stellar with respect to the top-line picks.
While I nailed Eli Manning as a start and Seattle’s D as a sit…that was pretty much it. See below. The carnage was ugly.
But you know me. Bad weeks only motivate me more to dig deeper into the numbers and trends. I am committed to making Week 10 a much more accurate week over all…as much for your teams as for my own.
Well, in the fantasy football world we are now in Week 10, which means that it’s “crunch time.”
Including this week you are looking at four more weeks to either maintain your current dominating lead or go on a tear and enter the playoffs hot.
Who should you be playing and benching now that we’re about to hit the stretch run? You’ve come to the right place. We discuss names like SJax, Thomas Jones, and Zach Miller below.

——————–
Week 9 was very interesting for me from a real and fantasy picks perspective.
I went to sleep last night thinking I’d lost by 0.5 points in one league because of Miles Austin’s one catch. But, as so often happens in leagues with IDPs, the stats had changed by Monday morning and I led by 3.5. I’m hoping this holds up once the totals become final tomorrow.
From a picks perspective, last week was unique in that I really went out on a limb picking David Garrard over Matt Schaub. Then the defense opposing Schaub (Indy) lost two key starters and I issued a change to my recommendation regarding the Texans’ QB.
And then, naturally, Schaub went out and had a pedestrian day (311 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs) that did not eclipse what Garrard was able to do against Kansas City (264 yards, 1 TD, 0 INTs, 29 yards rushing).
In hindsight, I should have stuck with my guns; but, the truth is that I did stick with my principles in issuing my Schaub retraction. It was the right decision. Remember, we’re trying to predict a game in which Chris Chambers can be one of the top scorers at WR during the same week he got cut by San Diego and ended up in Kansas City.
Without much rhyme or reason, all you’ve got is your principles. My principles have me above .500 and in playoff contention in all six of my leagues.
And this is what I always tell people who ask me for advice on tough questions: what are your princples? Go with them.
And if you don’t have them, get them. I’ll be happy to help if I can.
