Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 10: Panthers vs. Eagles

Week 10 finishes off with a well-performing Eagles team hosting a wildly struggling Panthers squad.

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the NFL's best record. The Carolina Panthers, meanwhile, started 2-0 but have gone 1-5-1 since and are only still in the NFC South race because that division is terrible. The two teams will cap off the Week 10 action Monday night.

From a fantasy perspective, the Panthers enter Monday basically healthy; not even the Carolina running backs are listed this week. Meanwhile, the only fantasy-relevant injury for the Eagles is quarterback Nick Foles, who will miss several weeks with a broken collarbone.

The Eagles will host the game at 8:30 p.m. ET. There are a lot of fantasy names to consider in this one. Let’s look at it:

PANTHERS

Start 'em: I'm not worried about Kelvin Benjamin after his rough Week 9. He'll be fine, and he's a strong fantasy start. ... Greg Olsen has put up back-to-back fantasy duds, but he's still among the top tier of tight ends.

Start 'em?: Take out that big Week 6 game, and Cam Newton is averaging only 12.1 fantasy points per game. I don't know how you trust that. ... As the Carolina offense goes, so goes Graham Gano, and the Carolina offense hasn't gone well lately.

Sit 'em: The Panthers' running back situation continues to be a fantasy quagmire; you can't legitimately use DeAngelo Williams or Jonathan Stewart. ... We haven't seen a big game, or a touchdown, out of Jerricho Cotchery all season long. ... The Panthers' defense has averaged fewer than two fantasy points per game since Week 2, including some tremendous duds.

EAGLES

Start 'em: Everything that was attractive about Nick Foles in fantasy is exactly what's attractive about Mark Sanchez. He looks like a low-end QB1, though obviously not one without risk. ... LeSean McCoy appears to have gotten back on the right track after some middle-of-the-year struggles. ... Jeremy Maclin has been an absolute fantasy monster this season, and the quarterback change shouldn't hurt him. ... Cody Parkey has had seven good games out of eight chances as a rookie. He's a good fantasy choice at kicker.

Start 'em?: The only thing keeping Zach Ertz even mildly fantasy-relevant is the fact that, with all the byes, tight end is a disaster area right now. Use him only if you're struck. ... The Eagles' defense has trailed off a little the last couple games; it's a mid-range play right now.

Sit 'em: Now that Chris Polk is in the mix, he and Darren Sproles are sharing touches, and it's hard to trust either one. ... Jordan Matthews is definitely the team's No.2 receiver now, over Riley Cooper, but neither is a good fantasy option.

SUMMARY

Start in every league: Kelvin Benjamin, Greg Olsen, Mark Sanchez, LeSean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin, Cody Parkey
Start if you're desperate: Cam Newton, Graham Gano, Zach Ertz, Philadelphia defense
Bench: DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, Jerricho Cotchery, Carolina defense, Chris Polk, Darren Sproles, Jordan Matthews, Riley Cooper
