Week 10 Start/ Sit Part 4: TEs

For the previous parts:
Week 10 Start/ Sit Part 1: QBs
Week 10 Start/ Sit Part 2: RBs
Week 10 Start/ Sit Part 3: WRs

An expanded version with players from readers' feedback included will be posted on Saturday. This is Part 4 of the starts and sits for Week 10:

TE

Start 'Em

Fred Davis (at Dolphins)- Davis is in this list for the fourth straight week and the reason for him making it here is still the same. With Chris Cooley done for the season and Santana Moss still out, his number of targets should stay high for the foreseeable future (as long as Roy Helu does not poach them all after having so many receptions in Week 9).

Brandon Pettigrew (at Bears)- this is the second straight week that a tight end going against Chicago is in this list. Pettigrew is usually second in targets to Calvin Johnson in the Lions and he will be going against a Bears defense that is the worst defense against tight ends in terms of fantasy points allowed. He should put up big numbers in Week 10.

Sit 'Em

Dustin Keller (vs. Patriots)- Keller appears to be copying last season's script. He started the year on fire and has fallen off a cliff since Week 3. New England's pass defense is terrible, but expecting Keller to show up late in the season is a fool's bet when it will be the wide receivers taking advantage of the great matchup against the Patriots secondary.

Vernon Davis (vs. Giants)- Davis is stuck in a run first 49ers offense and Alex Smith is not looking at him much. Add in the fact that New York's defense has allowed the sixth fewest fantasy points to tight ends and you have the recipe for another no show for Davis in the stat sheet in Week 10.


The remaining part will be up soon and the link will be added to the this post. Last part is done and posted.
Part 5 is up: Week 10 Start/ Sit Part 5: Ks and Defenses
