Week 10 Wide Receiver Preview: Can Michael Pittman Keep Rolling?

Top Fantasy WRs for Week 10

Let's break down the key usage notes and matchups that are driving our Week 10 WR Rankings.

1. Puka Nacua, LAR

Nacua was a full participant in Thursday's practice, confirming that he'll be good to go for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. Nacua beat this defense for a 10-85-1 line back in Week 5 -- one of his four games this season with double-digit catches. Ja'Marr Chase also has four of those, but no other WR has more than one.

2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, SEA

Sunday night’s game marked the fourth straight outing of 8 catches and 123+ yards for JSN.

3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET

St. Brown ranks second in the league with 7 TD grabs and seventh with 74 targets. 33 of those looks have come in Detroit's last three games, where St. Brown has compiled a massive 37% target share. This week, he'll match up with a Washington defense that allows 37.3 PPR points per game to WRs, sixth-most in the NFL. He's a locked-in top-5 WR with No. 1 overall upside in Week 10.

4. Justin Jefferson, MIN

There’s a potential volume issue with J.J. McCarthy back behind center. He has averaged just 22 pass attempts across three starts. But his Week 9 return to the lineup featured nine targets and 6 catches for Jefferson. That marked Jefferson’s fifth straight game of 9+ targets and sixth straight with 5+ catches. So he continues to prove resistant to QB issues.

5. Drake London, ATL

London put on a show last week in New England, catching 9 balls for 118 yards and 3 TDs en route to an overall No. 1 WR finish. London has topped 110 receiving yards and scored in three of his last four games and should remain hot facing an Indianapolis defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to WRs so far this season. London is a locked-in elite option in every format that carries top-5 upside.

6. Emeka Egbuka, TB

Egbuka struggled prior to a Week 9 bye, posting lines of 2-24, 4-58, and 3-35. But there’s optimism that he’ll regain his early-season form after the time off. He looks good

7. Davante Adams, LAR

Adams is on a TD binge lately, with five scores over his last two games. That pace will obviously slow, but Adams leads the league in red-zone targets (28), end-zone targets (15), and expected receiving TDs (8.2). He remains one of the best TD bets at the position, especially with his Rams rocking a 27-point implied total for Sunday's game vs. the 49ers.

8. Zay Flowers, BAL

The Ravens didn’t need much Flowers in an easy win over the Dolphins last week that found them attempting only 23 passes. But his fairly modest numbers led the team in targets (five), receptions (5), and receiving yards (64). Minnesota should put up more of a fight and potentially push more passing volume. Flowers has at least remained a nice PPR floor play, with 5+ receptions in every game but one this season.

9. A.J. Brown, PHI

Brown racked up a 4-121-2 receiving line on just six targets last time out, against a challenging Minnesota defense. He missed Week 8 with a hamstring injury but is practicing in full coming out of the Week 9 bye.

10. Nico Collins, HOU

Collins owns the Jaguars. He smoked them for an 8-104-1 line back in Week 3 and has now topped 100 yards against Jacksonville in four straight meetings. This year's Jaguars defense ranks 11th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs, but outside CBs Greg Newsome and Montaric Brown have struggled, ranking bottom-12 in fantasy points allowed per route. QB Davis Mills adds downside to this passing game, but the matchup is too strong to consider benching Collins.

11. Michael Pittman Jr., IND

Pittman is on fire. Over the last three games, he's reeled in 24-of-30 targets for 268 yards and 2 TDs. He's been the No. 5 WR in fantasy over that stretch. The Falcons remain formidable against WRs, allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points to the position. But Pittman's consistent production and team-leading 29% target share keep him in mid-range WR2 territory.

12. Ladd McConkey, LAC

McConkey went 4-56-0 last week on 7 targets. It was a disappointing performance, but McConkey continues receiving enough targets to put up solid PPR fantasy numbers. He had 25% of the Chargers targets last week. The Steelers allowed 22 catches for 294 yards and a TD among Colts’ WRs last week, so this could be a smash spot for McConkey and the rest of the Chargers WRs.

13. DeVonta Smith, PHI

Smith has garnered 9+ targets and tallied 6+ receptions in three of his past four games. The most recent found him playing without A.J. Brown. But the other two in that sample found Smith going for 114+ yards despite Brown being in the lineup. Green Bay brings a quality defense, but its corners don’t match the ability of Philly’s top two WRs.

14. Chris Olave, NO

Olave only got 4 targets in his first full game with Tyler Shough at QB. But the Saints have traded Rashid Shaheed, potentially opening up more targets to go Olave’s way. With the Saints as underdogs again this week, they may have the pass volume to support Olave even he doesn’t find the end zone. Olave is worth starting this week in hopes his 16.7% target share from last week increases.

15. Jaylen Waddle, MIA

Despite trade rumors, the Fins decided to retain Waddle through the 2025 season. Next up: A Bills defense he tallied 5-39-1 against in Week 3, a Thursday night matchup alongside Tyreek Hill. Continue using Waddle as a WR1/2.

16. Garrett Wilson, NYJ

Only 3 WRs have a higher snap share than Garrett Wilson's 96%, and Wilson's 34% target share is tied for second among all WRs. His status as a No. 1 team WR isn't in doubt, but the Jets rank dead last in the NFL, averaging just 156.5 passing yards per game. That caps Wilson's upside, and this week's matchup against the Browns doesn't help. Still, Wilson is a good bet to see a massive target share, so he should be viewed as a high-end WR2 in Week 10.

17. Tetairoa McMillan, CAR

McMillan went 4-46-0 last week with a low passing volume neutering his potential. With the Panthers being favorites this week, they will likely lean more on the run, making McMillan a tough start. But the Saints pass defense does offer some upside. They are 29th in the league at opposing WR1 TD rate at 8.3%. If the Panthers go throw in the red zone, McMillan has a chance at a TD making him a potential flex start.

18. Romeo Doubs, GB

Doubs has gone from TD-or-bust to a consistent source of receptions. Last week’s season-high 7 catches marked his fourth game among the past five with 5+ receptions. Doubs could get even more important now that TE Tucker Kraft is done for the season.

19. Khalil Shakir, BUF

Shakir draws a Miami unit that’s 30th in pass defense DVOA; 28th in pass defense DVOA. He also enters with 5+ catches in four of his past five games. Keep Josh Allen's go-to target locked into fantasy lineups.

20. Wan'Dale Robinson, NYG

Robinson's racked up 7+ targets in four of his past five games. With Jaxson Dart exeeding expectations -- and a Bears defense reeling on the other side -- there’s WR3 value to be found in the veteran. Chicago also remains without top CBs Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Johnson.

21. Deebo Samuel, WAS

He's supposedly healthy, but Deebo Samuel has had three off games in a row, scoring fewer than 5 PPR points. He hasn't meshed as well with Marcus Mariota under center. All 4 of Samuel's TDs have come with Daniels on the field. This week's matchup is inviting enough. Detroit allows the ninth-most fantasy points to WRs. His volume should be good, and the Commanders are 8.5-point underdogs, which should result in plenty of pass attempts. This is a good spot for Samuel to rebound as a WR2/3.

22. Stefon Diggs, NE

Diggs posted one of his highest route rates of the season in Week 9 (73%). That level of involvement should stabilize – and perhaps rise – with Kayshon Boutte likely to miss Sunday’s game. With Drake Maye playing at an MVP level, Diggs deserves a look as a fringe WR2 vs. Tampa Bay. The Bucs sit fifth-worst in yards after catch over expected allowed, per Next Gen Stats.

23. Rome Odunze, CHI

Following a hot start, Odunze has hit 40 yards in only one of his past four outings. That span includes a zero-catch Week 9 at Cincinnati. Odunze’s volatility will remain against the Giants, especially with Caleb Williams still showing hot and cold tendencies. But Odunze’s ceiling – paired with four teams on a bye – still finds him in WR2 range.

24. Jauan Jennings, SF

A healthier-looking Jennings has caught four balls in three straight games, totaling 19 targets on a 23.2% share. Next up is a Rams defense that's been weaker against WRs than TEs or RBs. Los Angeles ranks 20th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs.

25. Courtland Sutton, DEN

Played Thursday Night Football

26. D.K. Metcalf, PIT

Metcalf had his worst game of the season going 2-6-0 against the Colts. He remains a TD dependent option with short manufactured touches not contributing enough to give Metcalf WR1 upside. The Chargers have struggled against opposing WR1s, allowing 15.3 PPR points per game. Metcalf should be treated as a flex play only given his volatility.

27. Marvin Harrison Jr., ARI

Harrison’s season-high 7 catches for 96 yards and a TD on Monday night were nice. But it came against Dallas and followed three straight weeks of six targets or fewer and no more than 4 receptions. This week’s matchup with Seattle finds the league’s No. 4 defense in pass DVOA. Harrison remains a decent WR3, but there’s at least as much downside risk as upside.

28. D.J. Moore, CHI

Moore hasn't hit a 20% target share in a game this season. He's remained steady, though, seeing between 5 and 7 looks in all eight games. The veteran remains a WR3 against a Giants defense that might remain without starting CB Paulson Adebo.

29. Troy Franklin, DEN

Played Thursday Night Football

30. Keenan Allen, LAC

Allen has taken a step back with only 5 targets in each of the last two games. With rookie WR Tre Harris getting some play, Allen’s route rate has fallen back to around 50%. The Steelers allowed 22 catches for 294 yards and a TD among Colts’ WRs last week and have struggled against opposing WRs. Allen can be a solid flex play this week.

31. Quentin Johnston, LAC

Johnston bounced back going 4-53-1 last week and continues to be a downfield target for Justin Herbert. He doesn’t have more than 6 targets in a game since Week 4 and his targets have dipped. The Steelers, however, allowed 22 catches for 294 yards and a TD among Colts’ WRs last week and have struggled against opposing WRs. Johnston can be a solid flex play this week.

32. Parker Washington, JAC

Washington has posted 0-0-0, 4-52-0, and 8-90-0 receiving lines in his three games with a snap rate north of 75% this season. He'll top that mark this week with WR Travis Hunter definitely out and WR Brian Thomas Jr. potentially out. HC Liam Coen said this week that Washington will remain in the slot, despite the addition of WR Jakobi Meyers. That gives him the easiest matchup among Jags WRs against Texans slot CB Jalen Pitre. Consider Washington a passable-but-unexciting WR3.

33. Tre Tucker, LVR

Played Thursday Night Football

34. Darius Slayton, NYG

Slayton carries a raised ceiling this week against a struggling Chicago secondary. Over the past five weeks, no team has allowed more fantasy points per game to WRs. The veteran is also coming off a season-high 7 target game vs. San Francisco.

35. Josh Downs, IND

Downs has found the end zone in three consecutive games, but trails behind Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce in the target hierarchy. Downs has yet to eclipse 60 receiving yards in any game and has scored single-digit PPR points in six of his eight contests. Atlanta is allowing exactly 1.0 TDs per game to WRs. Downs has been rather TD-dependent lately, so he's behind his teammates in this week's rankings. Downs is still on the WR3 radar in a game where the Cotls carry a 27.5-point implied total.

36. Alec Pierce, IND

Pierce ranks second on the Colts in route rate (86%) and target share (19%). He also leads the NFL with a 20.9 yards per catch figure. Last week, Pierce drew a season-high 13 targets--the second time in three weeks he's topped double-digit looks in a game. The matchup this week isn't favorable, but Pierce runs plenty of routes and has the speed to score from anywhere on the field. He's a low-end WR3 with top-20 upside.

37. Tez Johnson, TB

Prior to a Week 9 bye, Johnson posted a huge 96% route rate against the Saints. He taillied 43 yards, giving him 40+ in four straight. He'll be counted on for a boosted role again this week with the Bucs shorthanded at WR. That puts the rookie in play as a fantasy spot-starter.

38. Jameson Williams, DET

Before last week's game Dan Campbell talked about getting Williams more 

involved. Against the Vikings, Williams did grab 4-of-6 targets for 66 yards and scored his third TD of the season. Hopeully, that momentum carries over against a vulnerable Washington defense. Williams falls into his normal range, as a mid-tier WR3 who is rather TD-dependant. Fortuantely, the Commanders have allowed 11 TD receptions to WRs.

39. Jordan Addison, MIN

Addison has played just one game with QB J.J. McCarthy. Although it featured a nice 31-yard connection between them, it ultimately included just four targets and 2 catches for Addison. McCarthy’s 22 pass attempts per game through three starts lowers the floor for this volatile wideout. A matchup with the Ravens, though, threatens to push Minnesota into a trailing game script and more passing volume.

40. Keon Coleman, BUF

Beyond a strong matchup, there's just no statistical reason to boost expectations for Coleman. Since Week 2, the second-year pro has averaged 21 yards per game with a high of 45.

41. Christian Kirk, HOU

Kirk returned last week as Houston's primary slot receiver, running a route on 70% of pass plays and drawing eight targets on a 20% share. He caught just four for 26 scoreless yards, though, and will be catching passes from QB Davis Mills this weekend. The Jaguars rank 11th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs, and slot CB Jourdan Lewis has been their best cover man.

42. Darnell Mooney, ATL

It's been a disappointing season for Darnell Mooney. He has only topped 50 yards once and has been held to 15 yards or less (with 1 catch) in three of Atlanta's last four contests. This week's matchup offers promise. The Colts are allowing the eighth-most fantasy points to WRs. But Mooney's lack of volume and upside keep him in low-end WR4 territory, at best.

43. Rashid Shaheed, SEA

Shaheed’s proven downfield ability should fit well with Sam Darnold, who has amassed more yardage than any other QB on deep throws (20+ yards downfield) this season, according to Pro Football Focus. His familiarity with OC Klint Kubiak from the coach’s time piloting New Orleans’ offense should help the acclimation. But it’s tough to know how big a role Shaheed will play in his first game. There’s intriguing upside from this range. Just be careful not to overtrust the role, especially in a Seattle offense that ranks just 30th in pass attempts.

44. Christian Watson, GB

Watson has gotten right back to being dynamic in his return from the ACL repair, averaging 23.8 yards per catch over the past two weeks. But he has also seen just four targets in each of those games. That makes a low-floor WR4 with a limited ceiling. His playing time did increase last week, though. And TE Tucker Kraft’s season-ending injury frees up more potential targets.

45. Kendrick Bourne, SF

After a scorching-hot two game stretch in Weeks 5 and 6 for a banged-up 49ers pass-catching corps, Bourne has totaled just 13 targets, eight catches and 87 scoreless yards over his last three games, as WR Jauan Jennings has gotten healthier and TE George Kittle returned. Bourne is no better than a WR4 at this point.

46. Tory Horton, SEA

Horton might look enticing coming off a 2-TD effort at Washington. But Seattle traded two draft picks this week for WR Rashid Shaheed, who played under Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak in New Orleans last year. Horton figures to immediately slot behind Shaheed in playing time. Though he should remain among the top three for as long as Cooper Kupp’s out.

47. Olamide Zaccheaus, CHI

Zaccheaus posted 6-58-1 last week on a team-high 25% target share. That one came against a soft Cincy defense, though. And that game was played without rookie Luther Burden (concussion), who's expected to return on Sunday. Treat Zaccheaus as a fantasy option only for deep leagues, despite a fine matchup with the Giants.

48. Calvin Austin III, PIT

Austin went 5-56-0 last week on 6 targets, his second straight game with 6 targets. With defenses focusing on D.K. Metcalf, Austin has had some success at turning targets into fantasy points. He still should sit on the bench but could be a good stash if the Steelers start throwing the ball more.

49. Sterling Shepard, TB

In two games without Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Shepard posted lines of 2-51 and 1-8. His target shares: 13% and 9%. The Pats supply a fine matchup for passing, but Shepard’s floor/ceiling combination remains unappealing.

50. Rashod Bateman, BAL

Bateman scored in Lamar Jackson’s Week 9 return, but his 2 catches marked five straight games of two or fewer. He has exceeded that number just once in eight games this season.

51. Jerry Jeudy, CLE

Jeudy has been one of the most inconsistent fantasy players of the season. His target share is fine, but Jeudy isn't delivering catches and has one of the worst QB situations in the league. While he remains Cleveland's No. 1 WR against a Jets defense that just traded away CB Sauce Gardner, Jeudy is barely on the Week 10 radar as a middling WR4 with very little upside.

52. Malik Washington, MIA

Washington is averaging just 6.5 yards per catch. His average depth of target? A comical 4.1 yards. There’s just not much value to chase here outside of deep PPR leagues.

53. Jaylin Lane, WAS

With Luke McCaffrey sidelined, Lane should take most of Washington's slot snaps. Deebo Samuel commands most of the short-area stuff for Washington, so Lane's upside is capped. Still, the Commanders are big underdogs, and Lane should see run plenty of routes. He's not the worst bye-week dart throw, but expectations should be modest. 

54. Jakobi Meyers, JAC

A Jaguars WR corps missing Travis Hunter and potentially Brian Thomas Jr. could certainly use Meyers this weekend. But it's tough to imagine him being a full-go just five days after arriving in Jacksonville from Las Vegas. Meyers also gets a brutal matchup against Houston's top-ranked WR defense. Try to leave him on your bench this week.

55. Chris Moore, WAS

Moore ranks third on Washington's WR corps in route rate (65%) but only ranks 6th in the group with a miserable 8% target share. He leads the group with a 15.4 average depth of target, which explains the overall lack of production. He has one game all season with 10-plus PPR points and will likely suffer with Mariota under center. He's a boom/bust WR4 with an extremely low floor against the Lions.

56. Matthew Golden, GB

Golden’s dealing with a shoulder injury that’s limiting his practice time. Even before that, though, he has failed to keep growing his role. The rookie has exceeded 4 catches in a game just once and fallen short of 4 catches in three of his past four outings. The past two weeks found Golden finishing with single-digit yardage totals.

57. Michael Wilson, ARI

Wilson’s yards per catch have picked up across three Jacoby Brissett starts: 14.5 over that span, vs. 6.5 across the season’s first five games. But he has managed more than 3 receptions just once all season. The ceiling’s low. And this week’s matchup isn’t good.

58. Dyami Brown, JAC

Brown was a full participant in Thursday's practice, putting him on track to clear protocol in time for Sunday's game vs. the Texans. He should be a full-time player in a WR corps missing Travis Hunter and likely Brian Thomas Jr. But Brown has been playing plenty all season and averaged just 31 receiving yards per game. He's not a viable fantasy play against Houston's top-ranked 

WR defense.

59. Demario Douglas, NE

Douglas is known for his work as an underneath slot receiver. But in 2025, he’s already garnered five targets of 20+ air yards, connecting on three. We saw it last week with a huge 4-100-1 line against the Falcons. His route rate hasn’t risen to a sustainable level, but perhaps he’ll see an uptick in looks with Kayshon Boutte likely to miss Sunday’s game. Douglas is ultimately just a deep-league option.

60. Cedric Tillman, CLE

Tillman returns to the lineup after missing a month, but fantasy managers don't need to rush him back into fantasy lineups. The Browns rank 29th in passing, and Tillman has not played any snaps with Dillon Gabriel. Cleveland also leads the league in '12' personnel, which further limits Tillman's target potential. Consider him a desperation flex entry in lineups hit hard by bye weeks or injuries.
