Week 9 of the NFL Season is in the books. Here are the Week 10 wide receiver rankings for fantasy football. The notable wide receivers on bye this week are Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Calvin Ridley, and Elic Ayomanor. The receivers who are questionable with injuries are Puka Nacua, Emeka Egbuka, Garrett Wilson, Brian Thomas Jr., and Terry McLaurin.

Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings Week 10

Tier 1: Superstar WR1s

Rank Player Opponent
1 Puka Nacua* San Francisco 49ers
2 Jaxon Smith-Njigba Arizona Cardinals
3 Amon-Ra St. Brown Washington Commanders
4 Justin Jefferson Baltimore Ravens
5 Drake London Indianapolis Colts
6 Davante Adams San Francisco 49ers
7 Nico Collins Jacksonville Jaguars
8 Emeka Egbuka* New England Patriots
9 A.J. Brown Green Bay Packers
10 Garrett Wilson* Cleveland Browns

A lot of the top wide receivers are on a bye or are dealing with injuries:

  • Nacua left the Week 9 game injured, but has a good chance to play in Week 10. Egbuka and Wilson are both working their way back from injury after their respective bye weeks.
  • London had his second overall WR1 finish in his last three healthy games. He had three touchdowns, leading to 38.8 fantasy points. He now gets a matchup against the newly acquired Sauce Gardner and the Colts in Berlin.
  • Adams caught another two touchdowns from Stafford, catching five in his last two games. Even if Nacua plays, Adams is still an easy top ten option in Week 10.

Tier 2: Proven Solid WR2s

Rank Player Opponent
11 Michael Pittman Jr. Atlanta Falcons
12 Zay Flowers Minnesota Vikings
13 Chris Olave Carolina Panthers
14 Jaylen Waddle Buffalo Bills
15 Ladd McConkey Pittsburgh Steelers
16 Marvin Harrison Jr. Seattle Seahawks
17 Rome Odunze New York Giants
18 Tetairoa McMillan New Orleans Saints
19 Courtland Sutton Las Vegas Raiders
20 Brian Thomas Jr.* Houston Texans

The players in this tier are all must-starts this week and will provide plenty of fantasy value throughout the season:

  • Pittman has been spectacular recently, having three straight 20-point performances. He caught nine of twelve targets for 115 yards. He and Warren are the clear top two targets for Daniel Jones.
  • Olave only saw four targets in Tyler Shough’s first start. However, Rashid Shaheed was traded to the Seahawks, which should lead to a massive target share for Olave.
  • Odunze caught zero of three targets in a game in which the Bears scored 47 points. Even quarterback Caleb Williams caught two passes. This should just be an outlier game for Odunze. Expect him to get back on track this week against the Giants.

Tier 3: WR3s With Something to Prove

Rank Player Opponent
21 Keenan Allen Pittsburgh Steelers
22 Stefon Diggs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
23 Romeo Doubs Philadelphia Eagles
24 DK Metcalf Los Angeles Chargers
25 Khalil Shakir Miami Dolphins
26 DeVonta Smith Green Bay Packers
27 Wan’Dale Robinson Chicago Bears
28 Jameson Williams Washington Commanders
29 Jordan Addison Baltimore Ravens
30 Josh Downs Atlanta Falcons

This tier of players includes wide receivers who are all borderline WR starts this week, depending on the size of your league:

  • Metcalf had his worst game of the season, catching just two passes for six yards. He had three top twelve finishes in the past four weeks, so he had been playing well. Metcalf will have better days ahead.
  • Robinson caught nine of eleven targets for just 46 yards. He is only viable in PPR formats and has a great matchup against the Bears, who just gave up 42 points.

Tier 4: Potential Flex WRs

Rank Player Opponent
31 DeMario Douglas Tampa Bay Buccaneers
32 Quentin Johnston Pittsburgh Steelers
33 Deebo Samuel Detroit Lions
34 Terry McLaurin* Detroit Lions
35 Tre Tucker Denver Broncos
36 Jakobi Meyers Houston Texans
37 DJ Moore New York Giants
38 Alec Pierce Atlanta Falcons
39 Parker Washington Houston Texans
40 Rasheed Shaheed Arizona Cardinals

These guys are FLEX options to fill out your starting lineup:

  • This tier includes two players who were just traded. Meyers went to the Jaguars and could be the WR1 for them if BTJ misses time. However, he has a tough matchup against the Texans and could take time to get acclimated to the system. Shaheed joins a crowded Seahawks receiver room with JSN, Tory Horton, and Cooper Kupp. His targets will decrease, but they should be more effective. Time will tell whether these are good moves for both players.
  • In the meantime, Tucker becomes the clear WR1 for the Raiders, although the offense will run through tight end Brock Bowers. Tucker becomes a good FLEX option for the rest of the season.
