Fantasy football advice, Week 10: Who to start/sit for Bears vs. Packers

It’s a renewal of one of the league’s top rivalries Sunday night.

Chris Graythen

One of the league's top rivalries will be renewed Sunday, when the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers face off at Lambeau Field. The Bears have struggled this season, sitting at 3-5 and on a two-game losing streak, while the 5-3 Packers have seen their fortunes rise and fall all season long.

Coming off of a bye, the Bears are largely healthy from a fantasy perspective entering Sunday. Tight end Martellus Bennett hit the injury report this week with a rib injury, and he's a question mark coming into the game. Meanwhile, for the Packers, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was listed with a hamstring injury, but his status for Sunday isn't in doubt.

The Packers will host the matchup at 8:30 p.m. ET. There should be a lot for fantasy owners to consider. Let’s look at it:

BEARS

Start 'em: He's historically struggled against the Packers, but you still have to consider Jay Cutler an easy QB1 this week. ... There aren't many players more trustworthy for fantasy than Matt Forte, who even after a bye is second in the NFL in receptions, despite being a running back. ... Alshon Jeffery is the more reliable receiver of the Bears' two big names, but Brandon Marshall still has the talent to be considered an every-week must-start.

Start 'em?: The situation with Martellus Bennett is tricky. He'll likely be a game-time decision Sunday, and with the game late in the afternoon, if there isn't clarity on the situation, you can't really run him out there unless you have a Sunday night or Monday alternative, and that likely means Andrew Quarless or Zach Ertz. Tread lightly.

Sit 'em: It's been a really bad season for Robbie Gould, mostly because of opportunities. But the once-elite kicker is averaging only 5.5 fantasy points per game. ... The Bears' defense was terrible in Week 8 before the bye, and against an elite offense that's a stay-away.

PACKERS

Start 'em: Through the first three games, Aaron Rodgers averaged 15.3 fantasy points per game. Since then, he's averaged 23.8. He's the No. 2 quarterback of the week. ... Eddie Lacy appears to have found his 2013 legs again, with almost 14 points per game in his last five. ... Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb rival only the Broncos for a 1-2 receiver punch. ... Mason Crosby is one of the top kicker options.

Sit 'em: You can't use James Starks in fantasy. Unless you're a Lacy owner, you probably can't even really own him. ... Davante Adams has been productive of late, though his targets just aren't high enough to use him in fantasy. ... Andrew Quarless needs a touchdown to offer any kind of fantasy value, and even that is scarce. ... The Packers' defense has only had one good game this season; outside of that, it's a total stay-away.

SUMMARY

Start in every league: Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Alshon Jeffery, Brandon Marshall, Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Mason Crosby
Start if you're desperate: Martellus Bennett
Bench: Robbie Gould, Chicago defense, James Starks, Davante Adams, Andrew Quarless, Green Bay defense
