Good morning everyone! Can you believe it's already fantasy Week 10? OK, let's get this chat started. Fire away! -
Yovan, NYC
11:01 AM ET
I need three out of Sims-walker, Roddy white, Ochocinco and welker help me out
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Hi Yovan, I'd bench Sims-Walker. I don't like his matchup this week at all. -
Ryan , Montreal
11:02 AM ET
Burleson or Meachem?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Burleson. -
Harry M, Montreal
11:02 AM ET
Rodgers or Hasselbeck?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Rodgers. -
Raja MJ, Atlanta, GA
11:02 AM ET
Should I trade Willie Parker? Will he have any value? On my FF league, I can start 3 RBs- I have matt forte,Jamal Lewis, Correl Buckhalter and Willie Parker.
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Raja, Willie Parker has no value right now. It would be a miracle if you got anything for him. Maybe trade him to the team that has Rashard Mendenhall (handcuff)? Might be your only option. -
aj, dc
11:03 AM ET
Mike - you rock!!! Bench 1 WR this week - Desean, Miles, Mike Wallace, or Roddy White. Also, bench 1 RB - Laurence Maroney, Jamaal Charles, or Kevin Smith. Im worried about Kevin Smith and Roddy White. They are always struggling to produce!
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I'd bench Wallace and Charles. -
JD, Arizona
11:04 AM ET
Favre or Romo? Favre has a great matchup but i think it will be more of an AP day then Favre day. What do you think?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I really like Favre this week. Give him the start. -
Grant, British Columbia
11:04 AM ET
I’ve been offered Fitz for Ray Rice and Brent Celek. I’ve already got Benson and DeAngelo as my RB’s. Good trade or not?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Hi Grant, yes this is a nice trade. But does losing Celek hurt you at TE? I think Fitz for Rice straight up works. -
Pedro, Brazil
11:05 AM ET
Hey Mike how u doing? Pick 1: barber, benson or betts? Also: laveranues coles or caldwell for WR#3 replacing MSW.
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I'm good Pedro thanks. I'd start Benson. While I don't like MSW this week, I'd still start him ahead of Coles and Caldwell. -
Derrick , ATL
11:06 AM ET
Steve Smith (CAR) and Housh??
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Smith has owned the Atlanta Falcons in recent seasons. I'd start him ahead of T.J. -
Sammy M., Montreal
11:07 AM ET
Jones Drew or Larry Johnson? I like johnson's matchup this week!
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Larry Johnson? -
Jr, Ca
11:07 AM ET
Do you think Sims-Walker for R.Brown is a fair trade?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Yes. -
Rambo, Cincinnati
11:07 AM ET
Mike-Have you heard if D. Williams will play?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Check today's practice report. I'd be surprised if he didn't play. -
Mike, Mia
11:08 AM ET
Mcfadden or Fargas??? Please help!
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Right now I'd have to say Fargas. -
Michael, Munich, Germany
11:09 AM ET
I have the choice between Payton Manning and Joe Flacco this week of course Peyton is the better quarterback but he made less points in the last 2 week and Flacco's matchup is much better who would you start?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
No way I'm benching Manning. Keep in mind, the Browns are allowing an average of fewer than 190 passing yards per game at home. I do like Flacco regardless, but I'm sticking with Manning. -
Derek, Boston
11:10 AM ET
Hey Mike Jamaal Charles or Derrick Mason?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Mason. -
Doug, Ft Wayne, IN
11:10 AM ET
I Need two between Sidney Rice, Donald Driver and Brandon Marshall.
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I'd bench Marshall. -
Mike Smith, Detroit
11:11 AM ET
Does Flacco have a better matchup than Rivers? Start Benson or Mendehall? Which ONE WR would you bench; Austin, Ward, Welker, or White? Thanks.
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Hi Mike, I'd start Rivers. He's been too good to bench. I'd also start Benson and bench Ward. -
Jhon, Miami, FL
11:12 AM ET
If I loose this week I'm out!!!!!!Please Help!!!! Bench One, M.Lynch, M.Barber, J.Charles. Thanks
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Bench Charles. -
Peg, Philadelphia, PA
11:13 AM ET
Kurt Warner or Peyton Manning?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Very close call, Peg. I'd stay with Manning though. You might want to deal Warner. His value is very high, especially based on his remaining schedule. -
Jessica, New Jersey
11:14 AM ET
Help a girl out! Should I trade Peyton, Mendenhall, Steve Smith (CAR) for Rivers, Jennings, Michael Turner?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Hi Jess, it's sort of a wash. You're trading apples for apples. I do like the Rivers, Turner, Jennings part of the trade a little more though. -
Boonie, New Zealand
11:16 AM ET
Hi Mike from little New Zealand. Need to bench one fron Breaston, Bowe, Braylon or Evans, also Bengals or Packers DST
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I'd bench Breaston. I don't like either defense much. Maybe look to add the Cardinals or Titans? -
Matt, Ca
11:17 AM ET
Toughest decision of my season, I need to win to make playoffs. Please help Mike!!! I need to pick two: Bowe vs. Asomugha, Breaston vs Boldin back, Henderson vs Rams and Moore still out, or Harvin vs Lions. PLEASE HELP ME THIS WEEK!!!!!
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Hey Matt, I'd start Bowe and Harvin. -
John O-L, Tampa, FL
11:17 AM ET

Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I like your thinking John! -
Khari, TX
11:18 AM ET
Gimme some love Mike! I have no clever comment and my quesitons never get answered! Mike Bell or Beanie Wells?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Wells in a close call. -
Sidney Rice, Minneapolis, MN
11:18 AM ET
Would bench me, Wayne or VJAX in PPR this week?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Yes. I like Rice, but not more than Wayne or Jackson. -
Ryan, Santa Cruz, CA
11:19 AM ET
Denver or Minn??
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Vikings. No question. -
Star, Tejas
11:19 AM ET
If Tashard Choice worth picking up anymore in a deep league of 14 teams?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Yes, if you can stash him on the bench. -
Dave, Akron, OH
11:20 AM ET
Pick 2 between Maroney, Mendenhall, and L.T.
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Bench L.T. -
Flacco, Baltimore
11:21 AM ET
Me or McNabb this week?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I'd go with Flacco. But it's close. -
Brett, Wisconsin
11:21 AM ET
Brett Favre or Kurt Warner Pick two: Boldin, Sidney rice, and derrick mason
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Start Favre, bench Mason. -
Blake , San Jose
11:21 AM ET
Jets or Bengals defense?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Jets. -
Jim Jones, Show Low, AZ
11:22 AM ET
Is giving up A Boldin & R Brown to get someone like Fitzgerald a fair trade? Thanks, Jim
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Boldin and Brown is a lot, Jim. You'd have to have some serious RB depth. -
Jared Allen, Minnesota
11:23 AM ET
Is my defense a better start than the Saints defense this week?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
No, I'd go with the Saints. But both defenses are great options. -
Lee, New York
11:25 AM ET
Philip Rivers or Joe Flacco?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Hi Lee, go with Rivers. -
The Don, Detroit
11:25 AM ET
Boldin or Mason?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Boldin. -
Mike, Seattle
11:27 AM ET
Big fan! Betts, Moreno or Fargas?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I'd go with Betts. -
Brad, GA
11:28 AM ET
Benson's value in a dynasty?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Pretty good. The Bengals should lock him up long term, and he's only 26. Not a lot of wear and tear either. -
car, virginia
11:29 AM ET
Mcnabb or Rivers to start
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Rivers. -
Doug, PA
11:30 AM ET
You answer a question about Choice just to stash, but I can't get an answer on Betts or Shonn Greene? Cmon man...priorities!
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Gotta go with Betts. -
Doug, Pryor, OK
11:30 AM ET
My opponent this week has Joe Flacco starting, should i start Mason in case Flacco has a big game or go with Sidney Rice? I think my other starters can win heads up with Ronnie Brown, Pierre Thomas, and Chris Johnson
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I think you have to go with Rice. Playing the Lions is too good to pass on. -
Jim, Denver, CO
11:31 AM ET
Do you like DeAngelo Williams or Rashard Mendenhall this week? I think Williams is better, but I am concerned about the knee hindering him even if he does play. Thanks!!
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I would agree. The Bengals are second vs. the run, so Mendenhall's matchup isn't great. -
Mike, Seattle
11:31 AM ET
TE Question. Fred Davis, Keller or B. Watson? Ugh, I know I lost Daniels :(
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Yeah that's a tough one. I'd go Keller. -
JD, Arizona
11:32 AM ET
I read your blogs every week but i need your thoughts on megatron. will he be able to produce as an elite again? should i start henderson over him this week?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I'd stick with him. The schedule is pretty favorable for Megatron down the stretch. -
Preston, Dallas
11:32 AM ET
Can I trust roy williams this weekend or should i stick to Mason, Randy Moss, & Boldin ?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I'd stick with Mason, Moss and Boldin. -
Jeff, Phoenix
11:33 AM ET
Do I have to be lloged into to post .. this is atleast 10th time Please Pick One from Beanie Wells, Reggie Bush, Darren McFadden Please Pick One from DeSean Jackcon, Steve Breaston, Austin Collie
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
If McFadden starts, he's the call. If not, go with Bush. Also, I'd start Jackson. -
Vincent, Venice

Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Peyton, Saints. -
Mike Smith, Detroit
11:37 AM ET
Thanks. If I am two games ahead can I gamble with Flacco so I can have a 1-on-1 matchup monday against Ravens D or should I be a sitting duck then and go with Rivers? Also Carney or Gostkowski?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I'd start my top guy, Rivers. Go with Gostkowski. -
Darryl, Potomac, MD

Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Steelers. -
Peyton, Texas
11:40 AM ET
Ronnie Brown or Pierre Thomas? I know both are playing pretty weak teams but i was leaning more towards Brown hoping that he'll break his slump this week but i wanted to see what you thought.
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I would agree with going with Brown. -
Cody, Kalamazoo, MI
11:41 AM ET

tim, texas
11:42 AM ET
ive been on this every week for the whole chat this year and havent been answerd, please help!!! Favre or Big Ben? and also are you as happy as me about the production of Matt Forte over the past few weeks?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
I'd start Favre. It was good to see the Bears using Forte as a receiver, because they can't run the ball. That offensive line is struggling. -
Ian, St. Paul
11:43 AM ET
Romo or Flacco? Betts or Wells?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Romo and Betts. -
Adam D., J-ville
11:43 AM ET
MSW (it's hard to sit sims-walker) or Meachem with a sexy matchup.
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Adam, I'd stick with MSW. -
Jeff, Akron
11:44 AM ET
Mendenhall or Fargas
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Mendenhall. -
Darryl, Potomac, Md

Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Brady, only because the Colts have so many injuries in their defensive backfield. -
Ryan, PA
11:45 AM ET
Hasslebeck or Palmer?
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Hasselbeck. He has 10 TD passes in his last five games vs. the Cardinals. -
Kori, FL
11:46 AM ET

I'd got after better RBs for Schaub, or at least one elite RB. -
Ryan, PA
11:47 AM ET
Why are we seeing the same names getting their questions posted today over and over again? Give me a chance! :) Pick three -- Megatron, Breaston, Manningham, Colston, Malcom Floyd
Michael Fabiano, NFL.com
Manningham has a bye =) Start Megatron, Colston, Breaston. OK guys that's all for today's chat. Good luck in Week 10!
