Week 10 start/sit

START

Cedric Benson's struggles got you down? He'll snap out of it this week against the Raiders, who lead the league in rush TDs allowed and just helped Ron Dayne (122 yards, TD) return to his Wisconsin days. If Cedric screws this one up, he and I aren't speaking again.

Ben Roethlisberger's coming off a five-TD game, so it wouldn't make much sense to have him on your bench this week. There's a decent chance he can duplicate it against the Bengals' wet-tissue defense.

Greg Jennings has to be in your lineup at this point. He only catches a few balls a game, but one is usually a TD bomb, a trend that should continue against Minnesota.

Kevin Jones' running has gotten steadily stronger as he's worked his way back from a foot injury. This week he faces the Cardinals, who let Earnest Graham bust loose for 124 yards last week.

LenDale White is shooting for his fourth straight 100-yard game, and the Jags' D ain't what it used to be.

SIT

Only four TDs for Maurice Jones-Drew so far, not counting last week's kickoff return of course. That means he's got 11 more to go to match last year's total. Chances are he won't add to it against the Titans (66 rushing yards a game, three TDs allowed all year).

Perhaps you remember Ryan Grant, hot pickup? Last week wasn't so bad (55 rushing yards, 37 receiving yards, 1 concussion), but now he faces the Vikings, who gobble up running backs.

No way I'm touching Philip Rivers after last week's atrocity (19 of 42, 197 yards, INT). He won't be that bad again, but he does face the Colts, who can be tough on QBs not named Tom Brady.

*Steve Smith is an interesting call, so he comes with an asterisk. He faces the Falcons, and you may recall what DeAngelo Williams did to him in their first meeting this year (one catch, 10 yards). You also may have noticed the Panthers are choosing between David Carr and Vinny Testaverde at QB this week. Smith is still a gamebreaker, but you may want to consider sitting him if you're really stacked at WR.
