Week 9 was a wild one at every position for fantasy football, but wide receiver was especially strange with several big names dealing with injuries and some fringe options who went off for monster days. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the top producer at the position coming into Monday Night’s final game of the week while Zay Flowers, Garrett Wilson, Demarcus Robinson, Courtland Sutton and Quentin Johnston each produced 25 fantasy points or more.
In week 10, 28 teams are on the schedule as JSN and the Seahawks go on a bye week along with the Browns, the Packers and the Raiders. With the Steelers and 49ers returning from their bye week, we still have a strong pool of options, though, as teams start the second half of the regular season.
Several regular options in my top 25 are uncertain due to injury situations, but here’s how I would shake out the top 25 WRs to start in Week 10 given the information we have on Monday:
- Ja’Marr Chase (at BAL)
- Justin Jefferson (at JAC)
- Amon-Ra St. Brown (at HOU)
- Malik Nabers (at CAR)
- A.J. Brown (at DAL)-if healthy
- CeeDee Lamb (vs. PHI)-if healthy and if Dak Presott is healthy
- Tank Dell (vs. DET)-if Nico Collins is not ready to return
- Terry McLaurin (vs. PIT)
- Zay Flowers (vs. CIN)
- Tyreek Hill (at LAR)
- Drake London (at NO)-if healthy
- Cooper Kupp (vs. MIA)
- Puka Nacua (vs. MIA)
- Garrett Wilson (at ARI)
- Deebo Samuel Sr. (at TB)
- DeVonta Smith (at DAL)-higher if Brown is out
- Brian Thomas Jr. (vs. MIN)
- George Pickens (at WAS)
- DJ Moore (vs. NE)
- Davante Adams (at ARI)
- Josh Downs (vs. BUF)
- Darnell Mooney (at NO)-higher if London is out
- Khalil Shakir (at IND)-higher if Amari Cooper is out
- Courtland Sutton (at KC)
- Calvin Ridley (at LAC)
