Fantasy Football WR Sleepers for Week 10: Five Wide Receivers to Consider

Fantasy Football WR Sleepers for Week 10: Five Wide Receivers to Consider

Published:

By: Zach Thompson

Finding the right fantasy football WR sleepers can make a difference in Week 10, especially for managers dealing with injuries, bye weeks, difficult matchups or tough start-sit decisions. Aside from the obvious weekly starters, several wide receivers could be positioned for increased opportunities this week.

Each week, we highlight five wide receivers who have a path to outperform expectations because of their role, matchup, recent usage or opportunities in their offense. These picks can help season-long fantasy football managers looking for a sleeper or FLEX option, while DraftKings salaries are included for players who are also in good spots to provide DFS value.

Best Fantasy Football WR Sleepers for Week 10

Here are five fantasy football WR sleepers to consider for Week 10. Analysis for each wide receiver is below.

  1. Tank Dell, Houston Texans ($3,900)
  2. Savion Williams, Green Bay Packers ($3,900)
  3. Jordan Watkins, San Francisco 49ers ($3,800)
  4. Ashton Dulin, Indianapolis Colts ($3,100)
  5. Chimere Dike, Tennessee Titans ($3,000)

Tank Dell, Houston Texans ($3,900)

Why he’s a Week 10 fantasy football sleeper: Dell has made a huge splash since returning after almost two years recovering from a catastrophic leg injury. He led the Texans in targets in Week 9 and finished with 23.5 FPTS on four catches for 105 yards and a touchdown. He has shown plenty of burst and speed, and he looks ready for a major role in the offense, especially with Marvin Harrison Jr. (hamstring) out this week.


Savion Williams, Green Bay Packers ($3,900)

Why he’s a Week 10 fantasy football sleeper: Williams has become the Packers’ primary slot receiver and has posted over 8.0 FPTS in three of his four games since returning from injury. He scored his first touchdown of the year last week against the Patriots, and he will look to build on that against the Vikings, who have been very good on defense overall but sometimes susceptible out of the slot.


Jordan Watkins, San Francisco 49ers ($3,800)

Why he’s a Week 10 fantasy football sleeper: I’m running it back with Watkins among my value plays for a second straight week after his big breakthrough last Sunday. Watkins stepped in and had four catches on four targets for 86 yards and a touchdown. Deebo Samuel Sr. ($5,500) is expected to be back from injury, and Keenan Allen ($5,100) joined the 49ers via trade, while Mike Evans (Achilles) and Christian Kirk (knee) are still out. Even with more options available, Watkins has shown enough upside to still get attention from Brock Purdy ($7,000) and be a good option against the Cowboys, who have been a top-10 matchup for wide receivers this season.


Ashton Dulin, Indianapolis Colts ($3,100)

Why he’s a Week 10 fantasy football sleeper: The Colts traded both Allen and Josh Downs ($4,700) before the trade deadline, leaving lots of question marks at wide receiver. This week they take on the Dolphins, and Dulin could be their top receiver with Laquon Treadwell ($3,000), Deion Burks ($3,000) and Anthony Gould ($3,000) in the mix as well. Dulin had a 55-yard touchdown catch and a three-yard run last week against the Cowboys but only has four catches all year. Someone has to step up, though, and Dulin could be a great bargain if he does.


Chimere Dike, Tennessee Titans ($3,000)

Why he’s a Week 10 fantasy football sleeper: The Titans will be without rookie receiver Carnell Tate (shoulder) for a second straight game, which opens the door for Dike, who stepped up in Week 8 before the bye week with five catches on six targets for 71 yards and a touchdown. He played 83% of snaps and ran more routes than Elic Ayomanor ($3,200) and Calvin Ridley ($3,500). Dike has shown a strong connection with Cam Ward ($4,800), and he has a chance to be a great play at the minimum salary, even in this divisional matchup against the Jaguars.
