Tennessee Titans wide receiver Justin Hunter was a popular sleeper pick heading into his second season. Despite showing flashes, Hunter has yet to fully deliver on the hype so far. Through eight games, Hunter has just 20 catches for 351 yards and two touchdowns, on pace for a 40-702-4 stat line.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 10: Justin Hunter
Justin Hunter has a lot of promise but little to show for it this season. Will he put it together with Zach Mettenberger under center?

Hunter is averaging a healthy 17.2 yards per catch, showing his deep-threat ability, but he hasn't quite put it together. The Titans are also on their third quarterback this season, turning to sixth-round rookie Zach Mettenberger after Jake Locker and Charlie Whitehurst had their shots at the starting job.
Fantasy impact: Mettenberger is a raw prospect at quarterback, but he can air it out and Hunter can catch them deep. The two had a good connection in the preseason, hooking up for 10 catches, 217 yards and two touchdowns. Coming off the bye week, Hunter is a boom-or-bust option against a Baltimore Ravens defense still missing Jimmy Smith. Even with a friendly matchup and six teams on bye, it's still hard to trust Hunter, who has yet to eclipse the 100-yard mark this season. Only start him if injuries and byes are forcing your hand.
