Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 10: Steelers vs. Jets

The on-fire Pittsburgh offense gets to take on the sad ol’ Jets.

Jamie Squire

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been rolling lately, averaging 47 points in their last two games and 31 in their last three. Meanwhile, the New York Jets have only their Week 1 win this season to hang their hat on, as the team now sits at 1-8 and is just playing out the string. The two will play each other Sunday.

The Steelers' injury report entering Sunday is is full of defensive players, but the fantasy-relevant names are few. Meanwhile, the Jets have a bunch of injury questions, with quarterback Michael Vick (foot), running back Chris Johnson (ankle) and wide receiver Percy Harvin (heel) all on the report, but all are expected to play Sunday.

The Jets will host Sunday’s game at 1 p.m. ET. Let’s look at the fantasy names:

STEELERS

Start 'em: Two straight six-touchdown games and now the most generous pass defense in football? Yeah, you're starting Ben Roethlisberger. ... Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown remain two of fantasy's safest bets.

Start 'em?: There's just no way Martavis Bryant continues his scoring rate. Things will tail off sooner rather than later. But hey, he has crazy upside. ... Shaun Suisham has at least four fantasy points every game this season, and at least seven point five times. He's definitely in the starting conversation. ... The Steelers' defense hasn't been great, but it's been good, and you always like a defense going against the Jets.

Sit 'em: Unless Bell gets hurt, LeGarrette Blount is just a handcuff stash for fantasy. ... Brown, plus the emergence of Bryant, has rendered Markus Wheaton hard to trust, despite the fact that he has back-to-back double-digit fantasy games. ... Week 9 was Heath Miller's fourth game this season with exactly one fantasy point, and he has put up five or fewer seven times.

JETS

Start 'em?: The team didn't really look Chris Ivory's way much last week, but he's still been the team's best running back all season. He's a strong flex play, and a reasonable RB2. ... Both Eric Decker and Percy Harvin are coming off reasonably big games. Jets' offensive players aren't sure things, but both receivers are reasonable flex plays.

Sit 'em: There were some signs of life from Michael Vick in Week 9, but even then he only managed 12 fantasy points. Stay away. ... You don't want Chris Johnson, even with his reasonable production last week. ... Jace Amaro and Jeff Cumberland both put up zero fantasy points a week ago. It was the third time for each this season. That's bad. ... Nick Folk would be a good fantasy kicker if he were on a team that, you know, had a good offense. ... The Jets' defense hasn't put up a negative point total all season. But it also hasn't gone above three since Week 3.
