Fantasy WR Rankings Week 10: Who to start, sit at wide receiver in fantasy football image

By now, you probably have a good feel of who you’re penciling in at wide receiver every week, but bye weeks and injuries can throw a wrench into those plans. If that's the case, let our Week 10 fantasy WR rankings for standard leagues help you decide who to start in this crucial week leading into the fantasy playoffs.

With the Ravens, Bengals, Patriots, and Jets on bye, we’ll be without notable WRs like Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd, Jakobi Meyers, Devin Duvernay, and Garrett Wilson. That will certainly affect fantasy owners' roster construction, but most can agree it’s better that we get back Deebo Samuel (hamstring), CeeDee Lamb, Brandon Aiyuk, Amari Cooper, Diontae Johnson, Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, George Pickens, and Wan’Dale Robinson, among others.

If you’re one of those fantasy owners who needs a bye-week fill-in, there are plenty of options that are widely available on waiver wires, including Terrace Marshall Jr. (vs. Falcons), DeAndre Carter (@ 49ers), Zay Jones and Marvin Jones Jr. (@ Chiefs), Isaiah McKenzie (vs. Vikings), Wan'Dale Robinson (vs. Texans), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (vs. Jaguars), Alec Pierce and Parris Campbell (@ Raiders), Kalif Raymond (@ Bears), and Donovan Peoples-Jones (Dolphins). All have favorable matchups and have either shown the ability to rack up targets or make big plays.

WEEK 10 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers

We like Marshall Jr., Peoples-Jones, and Robinson the most, but Carter and Zay Jones are also safe bets for targets. McKenzie, Marvin Jones Jr., Valdes-Scantling, Raymond, and the Colts are better suited for deeper leagues, but they can also produce given the matchups. 

WEEK 10 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers

If you don't want to dig that deep, you can also opt for disappointing bubble WRs like DeVonta Smith (vs. Commanders), Courtland Sutton (@ Titans), Darnell Mooney and Chase Claypool (vs. Lions), JuJu Smith-Schuster (vs. Jaguars), George Pickens and Diontae Johnson (vs. Saints), all of whom are in good spots this week and should pay off those relatively lofty draft positions.

WEEK 10 FANTASY PICKS: Sleepers | Busts | Start 'em, sit 'em

Conversely. some other bubble WRs who are in tough spots based on matchups include, Adam Thielen (@ Bills), Brandin Cooks (@ Giants), Rondale Moore (@ Rams), Allen Robinson (vs. Cardinals), Michael Gallup (@ Packers), Curtis Samuel (@ Eagles), Robert Woods (vs. Broncos), and Drake London (@ Panthers). We still think Moore, London, and maybe Cooks (personal), if he returns, are worth using, but none are sure things. The floors of this group are a little higher than the floors of the above sleepers, but the ceilings are certainly lower this week.

WEEK 10 DFS LINEUPS: DraftKings | FanDuel

Injury wise, we'll be monitoring Romeo Doubs (ankle), Keenan Allen (hamstring), Mike Williams (ankle), Treylon Burks (toe), Jahan Dotson (hamstring), and the aforementioned Samuel (hamstring). Allen and Williams would be must-starts if either returns, but it's looking unlikely that either will be back against the 49ers.

WEEK 10 DFS: Best stacks | Best values

Note: We'll be updating these WR rankings as needed throughout the week, so check back for the latest changes.
