Eddie Brown's fantasy football Week 10: Start and sit

In the 23 seasons I've participated in fantasy football, I've seen it all.

I've seen dominant teams go wire-to-wire and win the championship. I've seen dominant teams get bounced out of the playoffs unceremoniously. I've seen teams sneak into the playoffs only to get hot at the right time and win the whole thing.

There's really no special sauce here other than you can't win a title if you don't make the playoffs. There's nothing worse than having the hottest team in your league over the final weeks of the season, only you're playing in the consolation bracket.

I'm currently in a six-way tie (we're all 4-5) for the final playoff spot in one of my 12-team leagues. The best record in the league is 6-3 and the worst record is 3-6. There's four games remaining in the regular season so all possibilities are mathematically still on the table.

This is fantasy football in a nutshell. There's really not much separating us.

I know this team could easily be 6-3 if it weren't for a couple of close calls. It could also be 3-6 or worse too, but that doesn't matter anymore. What matters is what we do with each of the next four weeks.

Forget style points. Make the playoffs.

Here are my best bets for Week 10:
