Last Minute Fantasy Start'ems and Sit'ems: Week 10

Jeremy says to sit Russell Wilson this week, so you should definitely start him.
By Jeremy Conlin (@jeremy_conlin)

Joe is off this week, so I'm your fantasy czar. You'd be wise to hear my advice and then go in the exact opposite direction. In one of my leagues, I'm currently first place in total points scored but sit at 1-8. Luck has not been a lady. Luck has been a cold-hearted bitch.

Start'em

Quarterback: Mark Sanchez, Philadelphia

Matchup: vs. Carolina, Monday Night

Look, I'm not advocating for Sanchez to be your long-term solution or the franchise quarterback of your favorite real, not fantasy football team. But if you're strapped for options at quarterback (and you might be with guys like Luck, Rivers, and Brady on bye weeks and guys like Romo and Foles with injuries), Sanchez is your best bet for a quick plug average performance. It's tough to screw up too bad in Philadelphia's offense, and they're running into Carolina, who hasn't really been able to stop anyone through the air.

Long and Suite Preview: The AFC East

Belichick and Brady have ruled the AFC East for a dozen years, but how much longer can the Pats dominate the division?
By Jeremy Conlin (@jeremy_conlin) and Joe Parello (@HerewegoJoe)

It's been a dozen years of dominance for New England in the AFC East. The Pats have won 10 of the 12 division titles since Tom Brady stepped in for the injured Drew Bledsoe back in 2001, not to mention appeared in five Super Bowls, winning three.

So basically, this has been the Brady/Belichick division for a generation now.

Will that change this season, with new offensive talent assembled in South Florida and a new era underway in Buffalo? Probably not, but for the first time in a while, the Patriots don't look unstoppable on offense, so perhaps this is the beginning of the end for New England's dominant run.

Studs and Duds: The Butt Fumble Is Still A Thing, Apparently

This pass was probably intercepted.

Studs and Duds is a weekly feature on Suite Sports. Who had a good week? Who had a bad week?

Sports in Matters of Life and Death

Sports can serve as the ultimate distraction, and in the last week fans have used them to cope with matters of life and death.

First, there was Scott Entsminger, a guy that wrote a song each year about the Cleveland Browns, then sent it to the team along with some advice for the upcoming season. Being a Cleveland fan may be a miserable life, but this guy found a way to have fun with it in death, as his will stated the following:

"He respectfully requests six Cleveland Browns pall bearers so the Browns can let him down one last time."

The Best Bad Quarterback Battles in the NFL

You don't think that petition for Tebow will work, do you?


By Joe Parello  @HerewegoJoe

The NFL is a quarterback-driven league, with historic names like Brady, Manning(Both of 'em), Rodgers, Roethlisberger and Brees capturing nine of the last 10 Super Bowls.

Oh, and I guess last year's winner Joe Flacco ain't too shabby either.

The point is, to play a good football at the NFL level, you need high-level quarterback play. None of these teams have that luxury. So, without further ado, here is a look at the quarterback battles that will be entertaining for all the wrong reasons.

Don't Be Hatin': Tebow Will Play in the NFL in 2013

"Cheer up Tim, somebody will sign you..."



By Joe Parello  @HerewegoJoe

I must be the only Tebow moderate in America.

He's as polarizing an athlete as I've ever seen, with half the country throwing blind faith at a clearly flawed player, and the other half hoping he crashes and burns, despite the fact that he has the skills to succeed at this level in some capacity.

Oh yeah, and he's actually pretty fun to watch too.

So, when Tebow was cut by the Jets Monday and I began to hear the "Will any NFL team pick him up?" talk, I was a little disappointed. No, I'm not the biggest Tebow fan, but if you don't think plenty of teams could use a guy like him, you're being very short-sighted.

First, let me start by saying that I don't think any team could handle him worse than the Jets did last season. Only allowing Tebow to carry the ball 32 times and playing him as a punt protector was borderline insulting to a guy that won a playoff game the year before.
