To the fantasy owners who survived 12 teams going on bye over the course of Week 8 and Week 9, good news – help is on the way. With just four teams taking a break in Week 10, and with several injured players on track to make their return, fantasy owners can breathe a little easier, even as their seasons evolve into must-win weeks down the stretch.

When the Packers and Titans square off on Sunday, a few notable fantasy options present themselves.
Green Bay Packers
Start ‘em
It hasn’t looked pretty, but Aaron Rodgers continues to put up fantasy numbers even if the Packers’ offense hasn’t passed the eyeball test. Rodgers has totaled over 300 yards in each of his last three games and has found the end zone 10 times in that span. While he continues to put up these video-game numbers, it leaves Jordy Nelson, Ty Montgomery and Davante Adams in fantasy consideration.
Start ‘em?
Randall Cobb’s hamstring injury limited him to a complementary role in Week 9. Though he is an additional week removed from that injury, the overall Jekyll/Hyde nature of the Packers’ offense, along with the emergence of other receivers, has rendered Cobb somewhat of an afterthought. Until he garners heavy usage, fantasy owners would be bold to assume Cobb is worthy of anything besides a boom-or-bust flex slot.
Sit ‘em
Richard Rodgers had 10 targets in Week 9, but with Cobb another week removed from injury and with James Starks potentially coming back, there may not be enough targets for Rodgers to be fantasy worthy.
Tennesee Titans
Start ‘em
The Packers’ run defense is allowing just 75 yards per game, which will prove to be a tall task for Demarco Murray and company to overcome. Murray may not run wild on Sunday, but his usage remains high enough to put him firmly in the RB1 category. As a result, Marcus Mariota may be called upon to air it out more, which puts him in QB1 territory. From Week 5 onward, Mariota leads all quarterbacks in fantasy points per game. Delanie Walker can also safely be placed into lineups as a TE1 with his quarterback operating on a high level.
Sit ‘em
Though Walker and Murray have carved out every-down roles for themselves, the Titans’ wide receivers have failed to distinguish themselves. Kendall Wright offers the most upside, but until his snap count increases, fantasy owners would be advised to pass on him as well as Tajae Sharpe and Rishard Matthews.
