To help you set your lineup this weekend, here are 10 stars that you should leave on your bench in Week 10 of the fantasy football season.

10. WR Michael Floyd, Arizona Cardinals

Despite the resurgence of QB Carson Palmer, Floyd has been rather quiet. He hauled in just 26 yards in Week 9 and has seemingly been replaced by John Brown. Floyd is an all-or-nothing wideout, and considering he faces the tough St. Louis secondary, he won't be worth starting this week.

Week 10 Matchup: (vs. STL)

9. WR Vincent Jackson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Jackson has only recorded double-digit fantasy points in one game this season, which was back in Week 5. Now factor in that he is still dealing with a knee injury and it would be better to bench V-Jax in Week 10.

Bush will play this Sunday after missing two of the past three games. However, he faces a tough Miami defense and will now have to split carries with both Joique Bell and Theo Riddick. He is simply not seeing enough meaningful touches to warrant a start this week.

7. QB Eli Manning, New York Giants

Seattle’s defense has been uncharacteristically beat up this season. However, they are still allowing just 14.6 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, which is seventh-toughest pass defense in the league. Manning may score a touchdown or two this week, but it won't come without some turnovers.

6. TE Vernon Davis, San Francisco 49ers

After hauling in 13 touchdowns last year, Davis has been an utter disaster this season. He hasn’t caught a touchdown since Week 1 and hasn’t had more than 40 receiving yards in a single game. It would be better to leave the two-time Pro Bowler on the bench this week.

After ripping off 236 rushing yards between Weeks 4-5, Gore has averaged an embarrassing 35.6 over the past three contests. The back is seeing fewer and fewer carries as the weeks go on. If you have more reliable options, don’t be afraid to use them over Gore this week.

Ball could finally return Sunday after missing the past four games with a groin injury. However, the team will ease him back into the starting role and he likely won’t see more than 12 touches. It would be better to wait one more week before activating him.

3. QB Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco 49ers

The offensive struggles of the 49ers have all but killed Kaepernick’s fantasy value. In three of the past four games, Kaepernick has recorded less than 15 fantasy points. He has a decent matchup against New Orleans, but his lack of production this season has dropped him out of the top-10 fantasy QBs.

2. QB Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers

Newton has thrown only one TD in the past three games and has completed an embarrassing 48.8% (39-80) of his passes over that span. He simply can't be trusted at this point in the season.

1. QB Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys

After missing last week’s game with two small fractures in his back, Romo seems ready to return this week. He has a dream matchup against the Jags, but the team will likely limit his role this week to prevent further injury. Expect the Boys to run the ball even more this week and for Romo to have a rather timid outing.
