**Fantasy Football Week 10: Key Starts and Sits to Maximize Your Lineup**

With only five weeks remaining in the fantasy football regular season, unless you're in one of the rare leagues that play during Week 18, the pressure is on. You're likely on the playoff bubble, uncertain of where you’ll land by the end of the season. Guidance, advice, and affirmation are crucial, and we’re here to provide just that with this week’s start/sit recommendations. As Week 10 of the NFL looms, here are key players to consider starting and sitting.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have given up the most points to opposing quarterbacks this season. This bodes well for Sam Darnold, who recently welcomed tight end T.J. Hockenson back to the lineup. The team's full strength could translate into a must-win situation against Indianapolis, vital for keeping pace with the Detroit Lions in the NFC North.

Meanwhile, Mac Jones showed promise in Week 9 by throwing two touchdowns against Washington. Facing the Carolina Panthers, who have struggled defensively, Jones represents a solid option for fantasy managers needing a reliable quarterback performance.

In the running back department, Chuba Hubbard remains a solid start despite Jonathan Brooks’s anticipated debut in Week 10. With the Panthers taking on the New York Giants in Germany, Brooks is expected to be gradually integrated, allowing Hubbard to shine for at least another week. Additionally, J.K. Dobbins should be in your lineup given that the Tennessee Titans have surrendered multiple touchdowns to opposing running backs for three consecutive weeks. Dobbins has scored in three of his last four games.

For wide receivers, don't overlook Michael Thomas despite a lackluster performance in Week 9 due to injuries. Thomas is still a top-12 WR this season and faces a Minnesota defense that struggles against receivers. Tyreek Hill may have underwhelmed lately, but his matchup against the Los Angeles Rams provides a glimmer of hope, as the Rams have allowed over 20 non-PPR points to opposing wide receivers in two straight weeks.

At tight end, Dalton Kincaid’s workload has increased, with at least six targets in his last six games. He faces an Indianapolis Colts defense that has been generous to tight ends, yielding six receptions and 60 yards on average. Even if Amari Cooper returns, Kincaid's favorable matchup makes him a must-start.

On the flip side, some players should be benched this week. Bryce Young faces a sturdy Chicago Bears defense that has allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. Similarly, Matthew Stafford, despite the return of key receivers, faces a Miami Dolphins defense that has been more vulnerable against the run, making him a less appealing option.

Running back Robinson confronts a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that is fresh off a bye, making it unlikely for him to have a significant breakout. Wide receivers like Marvin Harrison Jr. might also struggle, facing tough coverage from the New York Jets in Week 10. For tight ends, Sanders faces a New York Giants team that has been effective at shutting down the position. Finally, Dalton Schultz is another sit against the Detroit Lions, who have been stingy against tight ends since Week 4.

Maximize your fantasy football lineup by making strategic decisions based on these start/sit recommendations for Week 10. Your playoff hopes might just depend on it.
